BioWare responds to Mass Effect: Deception outcry
Changes coming to correct "errors and oversights".
BioWare isn't happy with the new Mass Effect: Deception novel either.
The Mass Effect creator offered fans its "sincerest apologies" for the canonical "errors and oversights" in the book, and said changes would be made.
"The teams at Del Rey and BioWare would like to extend our sincerest apologies to the Mass Effect fans for any errors and oversights made in the recent novel Mass Effect: Deception," BioWare's community leader Chris Priestly informed fans.
"We are currently working on a number of changes that will appear in future editions of the novel.
"We are currently working on a number of changes that will appear in future editions of the novel."
Chris Priestly, BioWare's community coordinator
"We would like to thank all Mass Effect fans for their passion and dedication to this ever-growing world, and assure them that we are listening and taking this matter very seriously."
Mass Effect: Deception, released at the end of January, wasn't written by Drew Karpyshyn - author of the three previous ME books, as well as the first two ME games. Karpyshyn hasn't been involved with Mass Effect 3 due to his work on Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Mass Effect: Deception was written by journeyman sci-fi author William C. Dietz. Maybe BioWare won't complete his loyalty mission.

I enjoyed the three previous Novels by Drew Karpyshyn

Poor guardianship of the franchise by BioWare/EA but at least they are acknowledging this and taking action.

Sorry it's not funny, the title of the book did all the work for me.
Oh and EG, the new KoA advert is crippling my browser.

I'd really rather that aspect of gaming did not seep into publishing thanks.

Errm, I'm fairly sure revised editions of books have been around for quite some time already..

Even without those glaring inconsistencies it's still a shoddily written piece of tie-in fiction whose seemingly sole aim is to invalidate all of the good work done by the previous three Karpyshyn novels.
And holy mother of Cthulu, Dietz, employ a primary school kid to edit your writing; they couldn't make it any worse and they'll work for ice cream.

They'll end up more like 'fighting fantasy' books - and about as relevant...

Honestly I am surprised I would have guessed a Bethesda novel would be the first one to be recalled due to errors.

Seems there are three meaningless ME3 stories per week at the moment.

A few days after launch I'll be typing "youtube mass effect 3 endings" and saving myself 40 quid and the now inevitable "some players will not like the ending" nonsense.
