Someone give this man the "Award for doing absolutely nothing worthwhile longer then anyone else" award. Make email feel all warm and special for their waste of time, effort, energy, resources, and data in this fanfic.

There are two a's in Kaidan. 

Edit: looks like it is only in some instances where he has it misspelled.

However the ending stuff is almost worse than what we got.

It restricts it based on your paragon/renegade score


Ew, really?

Dammit, now I'm going to have to read at least the end.

Unless someone wants to elaborate on how this "fixed" ending plays out.

So I got to Jacob's part and I got to ask, how the hell would leaving Ronald Taylor to die result in Jacob getting captured by Cerberus?

Did I miss something?

based on my cursory overview, yes

I'd have to dig a bit more in it to see the exact requirements and any exceptions, but thats what it looked like to me

...a fan fund-raiser raised $80k to retake Mass Effect; two Bioware co-founders left the company..


I almost forgot the Retake movement was so delusional that they believed the co-founders left over the ME3 ending, despite both point blank saying they never, and they raised money to Retake Mass Effect rather than raising money for sick kids.

Disgusting. I've barely started reading this and already I can smell the massive amounts of bull.

Anyone got a good read on whether this version would have been feasible? So many proposed alternate ME3s would have required huge budget increases to be workable.

Overall it seems to be on par from what I've seen but a few instances are better

The reqorked missions and such as well as new character models and altered dialogue would have made it viable when ME3 was being made

maybe not the ending scenarios he's come up with, but those suck anyways so...

Quick, everybody throw all of your insults at the guy for doing something that in no way impacts your ability to play or appreciate the game, and that is in no way canon!

That was the "gaming journalist" at kotaku and other venues initally making those assumtions actually.

The money did go to the kids...

Or more time and polish and peer review from the ME3 writers.

Budget??? 

Nah, BF4 had a budget of 100 million bucks.

How'd that turn out? 

look at GTA5. Big budget? Yes.

But time too. They put time into it.

Not really insulting him. But when you write 400 pages on anything, it's probably more productive to try and channel that energy into your own story/book, as opposed to expansive fanfic like this. 

But that's his perogitive, and I'm certainly not going to judge him.

I just can't relate to it.

Writing fiction is writing fiction is writing fiction. There's no more or less productive way to go about it.

There is if you write your own fiction and try to get it published.

EDI's dialogue is terrible, like this one:

*Jack dies at Cerberus HQ*

EDI's reaction

"I feel angry. I like it"

wut.

From what I've read from people who've read it, at least they get a good laugh out of it? I'm not going to bother.

It was a direct quote from this script. Don't really think he's a gaming journalist, or that this is an "initial assumption" from him seeing as though it's 2 years later.

As you can see  the way he, and the Retake movement, saw it was to raise money to "retake" Mass Effect. He doesn't even mention the charity.

You don't climb a mountain because you want them to remake Star Wars and say all money raised will go to sick kids, you climb a mountain because you want to raise money for sick kids. Same with the Retake movement, except no one climbed a mountain they just demanded something, which is even worse than the analogy I used.

As I said the initally sentiment was made by game journalists a few people just latched on to the idea later.

I take it you've never heard of charity drives which give people stuff if they donate money to charity.

Money went to kids, and saying EVERYONE who donated it just donated to raise money for retaking ME and also not for kids is disgusting.

Anymore hyperbole and false claims, because that post was filled with it.
