The pie thing scares and confuses me.

What's wrong with pie? How can you not enjoy a slice of that juicy, salacious god's gift to earth?

I don't like gravy.

To each their own I guess. Personally, I love gavy, but you don't have to have gravy everytime you eat pie!

How can one not like gravy? I consume loads of it at each thanksgiving!

I'm not sure. Got to go! See everyone later! Enjoy your respective pies (with or without gravy)!

Gravy can be another word for the stuff that comes on pie, I think. As long as you're not a vegan, you should be able to eat it.

Are you a vegetarian by principle, or is something else going on?

Hi Banshee!

Hey Estebanus! You know what I had for dinner last night?

Shepard's pie!

I didn't know what that is and I looked it up in Urban Dictionary... very unsettling.

Random question: Why are so many Mass Effect fans self-proclaimed writers themselves? What's up with everyone here on this board wanting to write a story?

Just something I was wondering.

It's more that the writers of the community don't believe the BW writers could make such stupid and obvious writing mistakes. That's all.

That's not an answer to my question. My question was: Why are so many people on this board self-proclaimed writers? What's up with that?


But to reply to what you said: Any proffesional writer or even pseudo-proffesional writer here on this board should realize how terrible ME3 is written. And not just the ending.

Last semester I took some writing classes myself on my college. I'm not a writer though, I'm a 3D artist, I was just interested in learning a bit about writing. I learned a lot of basics about writing. Lots of theory. I quickly noticed how ME3 defies pretty much everything I've learned that semester. That alone shows how amateuristic the ME3 writing is.

Well, if you say that an entry level community college "professor" has different ideas, then who are we to argue?

Except I don't study at an community college but at an university, studying Game Architecture & Design.

Now please STFU if you don't have anything useful to say.

I'm even giving up the drinking tomorrow night. It's student night and I'm working Ignoring the huge binge we're going on Saturday night

You know, asking why people here are 'self proclaimed writers' and then declaring that 'any pseudo writer should understand why ME3's writing sucks' isn't going to win you any favours.

Instead it seems to suggest you fail to understand what making a writer tick. And your ignorance frustrates you.

Watch out, we have an internet toughguy here!

Seriously, take your own advice sometimes.  You whine how bad ME3's writing is, and yet you don't go elsewhere.  Which suggests you enjoy bad things.  Which is very sad indeed.

Haven't seen this mentioned before, but looking at the supposed pre-release script linked in another thread, apparently Javik was at one point intended to be the catalyst, and rather than being ignorant of the crucible's purpose, he said it allowed the prothean memory-sense to work on vast scales of time/space.

About me being a vegetarian:

I have no problem with killing animals for food. Killing animals for food is a natural thing. It happens in mother nature all the time.There is nothing wrong with that.
I do however have a problem with the current state of our meat industry world wide. It's the most corrupt and dirty industry responsible for the biggest amount of pollution each year. The meat industry is not only f*cking up our planet, they're also holding humanity back as a whole. Did you know that if the meat industry disappeard that we could feed everyone in the world with the grain, corn and soy beens that we feed to our livestock right now? Tons of land, food, money and resources are wasted on breeding, feeding and slaughtering livestock just so you can have your piece of meat on your plate at the end of the day. It's ridiculous if you ask me. I don't want to contribute to such madness. That's why I've become a vegetarian.

I've heard of that. Furthermore that Javik does not join you directly but rather goes amok like Jack on Purgatory. Then you had to get to Javik before Cerberus could get their hands on him, at least that's what I remember someone else say about it.
Could you link to the source?

[RavenEyry]

Finally got around to watching the cutscenes from leviathan and it's odd that the beings whose race was wiped out by the reapers even though they can kill them in seconds are really, really reluctant to do anything about it. The one you chat with almost seems to approve of the cycle.
I also thought Shepard on hands and knees told to breath was very reminiscent of 'wake up'.

And Leviathans have got that three dot eye thing going on that everyone has.

EDIT: And Harby the completely irrelevant major villain gets namechecked again.

I'm not frustrated friend. I don't know where you get that idea from.

I'm just curious about 2 things:

1) Why it is that so many writers (either wannabe-writers or proffesional-writers, I don't care) gather on BSN?

2) How can it be that the basic writing 101 that I learned last semester contradicts everything I've seen in ME3? Does that mean ME3 is badly written? Sure seems so to me.

I mean I get it that as a writer you sometimes need to think outside of the box, outside of the rules, but if you're being too creative you can potentially make a big mess of your story. I wonder what went wrong during the production of ME3. I wonder why ME3 seems to be so different from ME1 and ME2 in so many ways. Could it really be it's because Drew Karpyshyn left the team?

[CoolioThane]

I am with you Heretic. I've been weening myself off meat for a while, though it's taking a while for me to stop eating da chicken.

I hate the prawn industry the most though.

Sure. And I respect that. I would be the last person to tell you that you shouldn't eat meat. Everyone should make that decision themselves on their own initiative.

Good to hear. Even if you would just eat less meat (instead of stop eating it entirely), that would already be a good step in the right direction. Every small bit helps you know.

'Tis all the same to me. When I said I'm vegetarian I meant that I don't eat fish too.

If I'm not mistaken this is the leaked script.
There is also another test TLK file in the From Ashes DLC that has a short dialogue between a Reaper and Javik.

Except I'm not whining, but merely stating my observations and asking questions. But of course if anyone even dares to mention "bad writing" in this thread you guys all of the sudden go into attack mode. It's rather unnecessary really.

Everyone is aware of your stance on bad writing. I think they get hostile because they're sick of you bringing it up in every other post.

I'm not a self-proclaimed writer - just training to enter it as my profession.

Well when I said "self-proclaimed writer" I really meant anyone who's either writing as a hobby or anyone who's training to become a writer (but isn't a professional writer yet). Basically anyone on the BSN who calls himself a writer, be it a hobby writer, a professional writer or a writer in training.
