I know what Patric Weekes and Sylvia Feketekuty wrote (they are the best two writers)....but which writers wrote which part of the game? Which characters?

It sso much easier to find who wrote what in DAO and DA2 because the wiki has the writers...the Mass Effect wiki doesn't.

John wrote majority of the Tunchanka arc. Walters did the crucible, TIM and the ending.

Patrick Weekes wrote the dialogue that you hear on the Citadel.

Example: PTSD Asari Commando.

I think Patrick Weekes wrote Tali. He also wrote Traynor and Steve, along with their romances.

Edit, I'll take Cuthulu's word that Dombrow wrote Garrus.

Nope; the other best writer apart from Weekes is John Dombrow. He did Garrus and Javik.

As for other writers, I know Walters did most of the bad parts (intro and ending, Cerberus in general, Crucible...)

Somehow those points that Walters wrote were the most poorly recieved by the fanbase...

Coincidence...or speculationz...

Walters also wrote Kai Leng.

So there's that.

Did Walters write Wrex in ME3 or did John also write Wrex?

What John Dombrow wrote from his own linkedin page:

ca.linkedin.com/pub/john-dombrow/5/a94/785

Senior Writer on Mass Effect 3. I was responsible for all phases of writing three major critical-path missions in Mass Effect 3:



1) Priority Sur'Kesh: Rescuing the krogan female (the beginning of the
genophage story arc). This mission was part of the E3 demo and included
in the Xbox/PS3/PC pre-release demo as well.



2) Priority Tuchanka: Curing the genophage on Tuchanka (conclusion of the genophage arc)



3) Priority Thessia: mission on Liara's homeworld as Reapers invade.



I wrote all characters within those missions (i.e. Wrex, Wreav, female
krogan, turian primarch, portions of Illusive Man, etc.) with assistance
from another writer on the character of Mordin.



I also developed the initial "Grissom Academy" mission (i.e. "Jack's mission") and wrote the first draft.



In terms of squadmates, I was responsible for writing two characters:



1) Garrus, including all his relationship scenes, Normandy dialogue, and
"voice" editing of Garrus' dialogue on all other missions in the game.



2) Javik (Prothean DLC), including all his relationship scenes, Normandy
dialogue, and "voice" editing of Javik's dialogue on all other missions
in the game.



Jay Watamaniuk wrote Miranda (with guidance from Weekes) and Grunt (and his mission I believe)

I know Sylvia Feketekuty(<3) wrote majority of Liara (including romance) except for the Javik argument and some of Rannoch.

Funny how John did Wrex and Garrus in ME3, which I prefred then their ME and ME2 version(Loved Wrex in ME and ME2 though, Garrus not so much)

John Dombrow is the writer to beat on the new team. He wrote Garrus and Javik, as well as most of the Tuchanka arc (including Eve and Padok) and the Thessia mission. Quality material.

Patrick wrote Tali, Jack, and Samantha, along with the Rannoch arc. He wrote Grissom Academy and the Eden Prime mission, and he wrote a lot of the ambient encounters on the Citadel (both the eavesdropping and "click-to-support" conversations), as well as Matriarch Aethyta (including the banter between her and Liara).

Sylvia wrote Liara and a good chunk of Legion (all his Investigate conversation on the Normandy), as well as Samara and the monastery mission. She also wrote the geth consensus and the mission to rescue the admiral. She wrote the Shepard VI and the refund guy, and I believe she did all the war asset descriptions. She's no longer on the team (she got promoted to the DA team).

Cathleen wrote Kaidan. Chris wrote EDI and Thane, and I think he did all the galaxy map descriptions again. Dusty wrote Steve (and I presume Kelly and Chakwas and Adams and Ken and Gabby). Jay wrote Grunt and Miranda.

Mac wrote Earth, Mars (including the dialogue for Kaidan, Liara, and Ashley, up to the Council meeting), and the ending. He wrote James. He most likely wrote principal plot dialogue for the major characters (TIM, Anderson, and Hackett, except for the mission-specific briefings), as well as "crafting" the overall "plot".

Yes he did. He also wrote them in ME2(except for Adams as he was not in ME2) and he wrote Steve while Patrick wrote Sam.

This explains so much.  Never knew all that Walters wrote, but I knew some of it.  Horrid beginning, explained.  Earth, Mars, and the ending.  Explained.

Liara, "Why are you here?"
Shepard, "Brain fart, Liara?  I've only been looking for some way to beat the reapers and you may know a way and you are asking me that?  Really?"

This.

With the only highlight being brining Javik along to trash the entirety of Asari culture.

And then Kai Leng shows up. :sick:

James is an underrated character....he is the comic relief of the team. Anderson and Hackett are well done and the death scene of Anderson is classic. Mars is one of the best missions in the series. TIM is fine too, he is always been a villain.

Mac fumbled on Kai Leng (although way more tolerable than Benezia...yuck) and the original ending.

Who worte Ashley? Jack and her mission?

Well he did create Garrus and Wrex at least.

I don't mind the space-ninja, I hate how his dialogue is as dry as FFXIII-2.  How they're horribly aligned like a bad Hollywood scene setting a worse scene up, or comic books.  His intro in the ads was great, I just wish they kept him silent 90% of the time, more for shock and awe and not a forced Rival.

No....

Thessia is awesome.....especially with the second squadmate trying to keep Liara focused.

Thessia's alright, nothing special. I liked the level design, only problem I have with the segment is the inability to laugh at Joker's joke.

This is so true-his taunts are laughable.  "Is that all you've got?"  He would have been much better silent.

Gives me hope. Take Mac off all future ME games/content and we're golden. :P

It's simply too short. For the emotional investment my Shepard seemed to have when Thessia fell I would have thought I would have spent more time there.

It needed to be about half an hour longer.
