Don't ruin the dream, man. Don't ruin the dream.
I really wonder how BW will respond to the negativity...Anyone who read the Mass Effect novels, you might want to skip this latest one
It's quite shocking.
Revelation, Ascension, Retribution - all good, bearing in mind they're video game books so don't expect mind blowing writing and characters. But they're consistent within themselves and give insight into characters like Anderson, Saren, TIM, *edit - "queen of omega"* (weird that's censored on these forums!
), and book only characters too. Well worth reading.Deception - from what I've read it just defecates on pre-established lore and characters, and is just badly written in general. See here

I've got the first two books, I was going to get the other two when I'd read these but I won't be getting Deception. I guess that's what happens when you change the writer.

This is in the book.
Just got texmod set up for ME1, it does make a difference but I wish more textures from the first game were done, ther are many more for ME2.
Here are 2 screens of Dr Chakwas
Fantastic stuff but I really hope more textures come along! at the moment ther are only a few individual textures for ME1. There is a high def retexture of Sheps face as well but tbh I can't tell a whole lot of difference as it was hardly bad anyway
That pic is quite shocking actually.

realy looks much better but seeing for me thins will be the last play through [ 3rd time] for along time can't realy be bummed to do it.
ATM playing an Adept and i'm fraping all my choices so I can see how each of my play through's had made a differences to ME2 and then ME3 should be interesting to watch

Bit of an update, it's looking good, not long now.

Does look good.
Slightly dissapointed that they've not got a really 'big' new player for the voice overs, Freddie P J isn't exactly huge...but then after the names they pulled together for ME2, its hard to beat.
As well as this...how are they going to top the epic ME2 launch trailer?

Yeah, I recently played through all the dlc, only Shepard had new lines and your squadmates would say exactly the same thing in exactly the same tone each time, it was disappointing.
Yet they've managed to get the majority of ME2's cast to reprise their roles for 3...even minor roles like everyone's favourite punchbag reporter have the same person credited.
I see Mac Walters is now the lead writer, no sign of Drew Karpsyhn on the writing team this time.
Playing through the dlc Overlord in ME2, about experiments with Geth and a Rogue AI, I took Tali along thinking she might have at least one comment to make about the whole thing.... Not a word from anyone though
