...someone make Weekes the man in charge for future bioware games. Seriously.

I believe Tuchanka was written by John Dombrow. Weekes did Rannoch and Mordin.

That doesn't make him any less awesome though.

Hey folks, these are my notes on the conversation, as posted to SomethingAwful from my memory of the conversation hours after the fact. I had no recorder and no notepad because I didn't expect to have this opportunity at all.

This was NOT a formal interview. Patrick was incredibly saintly, generous, and kind - he simply stood with a group of fans along with John Dombrow and talked to us after the panel on BioWare comics. He spoke in good faith.

I shouldn't have said some of the things I did in the quoted post - particularly about Mr. Weekes not liking the ending. Mr. Weekes was extraordinarily courteous and understanding with his responses to fan inquiry, but he is also a valuable member of a team, and we shouldn't try to belittle other writers and lionize Mr. Weekes at their expense.

Every BioWare employee I met was polite, professional, friendly, and understanding. Mr. Chris Priestly did a wonderful job moderating.

I really don't want any of the content of this discussion to be turned against Mr. Weekes. I'm already feeling nervous about my decision to post it - I worry I betrayed his trust or confidence.

On the contrary, I think your interview has increased confidence in the series for almost everyone (not by a lot, but maybe enough on some degree.)

All we needed was for someone in Bioware to have a heart-to-heart with us in some way. Even casually talking feels like a heart-to-heart, and it minimizes stress big time. I know my body is feeling lighter right now than it has in the past month. That's saying something.

I haven't forgiven Bioware, but I'm feeling more willing to give them a second chance now. As long as Patrick Weekes is spearheading the writing on this project.

I disagree. The interview clearly wasn't transcripted properly and the author did his own interpretration of what Patrick Weekes said. I thought it was obvious that the transcript was skewed for a certain agenda, yet people here believed in it wholely.

Maybe you're right, but it sounds like Patrick Weekes. The way he thinks.

It could just be a good emulation, but I want to believe.

Is there anything you'd like clarified or reexamined? This 'interview' is simply my memory of what Mr. Weekes told us.

my god. it's hideous.

someone end its misery.

babies are gross.

I bet it's poop is a nightmare of epic proportions.

even its poops probably have their own eyes that turn shark-black before they mind-rape you.

i rather look at the babies poop for 15 minutes than replay the craptastic ending.

It sounds like they got cheap on us with the lack of resources.  Also, it sounds as if they really intended that ending and it's not a dream.  In that case, I'll just have to get cheap on spending money on their products.  Too bad Bioware, you had potential.

I think by lack of resources he meant lack of hardware resources, not financial resources. To clarify, all three of the ME games have been restricted greatly since they have to be able to run on the outdated/underpowered consoles(PS3/XBOX360).  

This just makes me hate the crappy consoles even more, but I also feel that if they had 1 more year on this game, they could have acomplished so much more. I just have this bad feeling that EA is behind much of the issues. I know I might be paranoid, but still, it just feels that way.

Agreed on both fronts. EA is bad for business.  It still saddens me that Bioware sold themselves out to them.  

The crappy console thing also gets me.  I don't know about everyone else but I think ME3 looked dreadful on the PC, graphically speaking ofcourse. What makes if worse is that if you look at some of the Unreal Engine 3 (ME's engine) demos, ME could look so much better and have much bigger levels if it were PC exclusive...or at least if Sony and Microsoft produced  some next generation consoles.

Whatevs, on my PS3 I have a 55" Plasma and surround sound. No amount of texture resolution can match that epicness!

My PC has a 62" screen and surround sound......

This is like if someone said they went and talked to David Gaider all about what happens in Dragon Age 3 and he tells them everything.  Would you believe that?

We also knew we'd have Vega in order for new players to have someone dumber than they were.

Ha!

[felipejiraya]

Sound iffy to me.

And if it's true most of the things he created on spot, I assume it will be refined in the next weeks.

And that was supposed to be the "baby" version compared what the Turians had on their cap ships (from what i understood)

[xtroguyver]

see this is all it takes bioware to calm the fandom down a bit, turn off the PR machines and actually talk to use like people . Admit where our concerns about the endings are and give us some hints as to how you might address them its not to difficult to do, then we can feed back and tell you which ideas make sense and which ones are still massive plot holes etc

[Johcande XX]

Probably the coolest guy working at BioWare right now.

Weekes has a history of "blabbing," as you say. Check out the story of him on the Penny Arcade forums.

[Zardoc]

I like Weekes, but some of the stuff he tells us ("oh yeah, FTL is suddenly enough for travel" and "let's use Reaper tech to improve stuff [srsly?]" for example) just seem like giant asspulls.
