>BIOWARARE
he doesn't want to taint his reputation with trash like the upcoming dragon age and mass effect games
>mac walters
>reputation
LMFAO
>Mac The Hack Walters leaves
Am I supposed to be upset?
>was a minor quest writer on the first ME
>was part of the main writer team of ME2
>is THE main writer of ME3
Ok. Don't come back
He was the writer for Mordin’s and Grunt’s stories
Bioware has been dead since the finished Mass Effect 2.
The fricks he been doing since ME3
Now they won't be able to use him as a scapegoat
Case in point, read up on Shitdromeda's development you idiot
I know Walters became the director later in development but he's still proud of Andromeda and constantly defends it
It's more than "late in development", his sole job as director was literally to push that shitpile out the door. That's it. Chris Schlerf wrote the game and the product was developed by BioWare Montreal who he didn't belong to, he visited the team like 8 months before the game came out and they had *NOTHING* done. I'm talking about empty maps and Nomad test driving, shit like that. They wasted the first three years of development trying and failing at creating No Man's Sky-tier randomized planets and its original director jumped ship to a different company at which point higher explained in interviews after the game came out, he visited the Montreal team like 8 months before the game came out and they had *NOTHING* done. I'm talking about empty maps and Nomad test driving, shit like that. He stepped up and slapped them into shape but the game from a creative pov ie story, characters etc. was all already done.
He's as much Andromeda's director as Itsuno was DMC2's, Walters was told to step up and slap them into shape so they at least had a release; from a creative pov ie story, characters etc. the game was already done.
>inb4 he defended it
Of course he would, you don't bite the hand that feeds you it's all moronic corporate speech. My point is that scouring ME interviews over the years paints a different picture from the dude and it's always funny seeing the same 'Drew Karpyshin was god incarnate and Drew did literally everything wrong 120% of the time' arguments. Like people saying he barely had anything to do with ME2 and it was all Drew's doing when the latter said in Q&As that they had equal writing roles and both came up with the same things
And he still failed at his job because the game was a laughably broken mess at launch
On the contrary, the fact that the game came out *at all* and looked better than pic related means he did his job unlike Gérard Lehiany
I thought he already left years ago? No wait that was Casey Hudson
>Another mediocre white man leaves the industry
Good.
Mass Effect was never that good. And I liked Mass Effect. It was just insanely carried by it's setting and the invisible wall illusion the scope of that setting caused
>"TRAVEL THE GALAXY WITH YOUR SPACE CREW OF ALIENS"
>Story is insanely rail roaded and linear
>"EXPLORE DIFFERENT PLANETS"
>Everything looks lik earth in the future
>"EXCITING GAMEPLAY MIXING SHOOTING WITH TECH OR PSYCHIC BASED POWERS"
>"Its a corridor cover shooter with 2 ai teammates that dont do anything other than you activate one of their two active powers
>"YOUR DECISIONS AFFECT THE STORY"
>They dont
>try to buy the game and replay them since I pirated them back in the day
>they require Origin
Added to what you just said
who gives a shit, he was the one who ruined the mass effect franchise to begin with. Drew Karpyshyn was the guy with the real vision.
Drew helped write 2 so he wasn't perfect either. I hope his new game isn't vaporware.
drew wrote all 3 games from the beginning. they brought mac walters in on the second game to re-write 2's story into something more action oriented and then mac walters completely took over the third installment and re-wrote the entire ending drew already wrote. it's not that drew is to blame, he just gets partial credit for what he already put in place for the second game, which was in development before EA bought them out.
I'm sure you'll have a source for all that
why of course. Ganker was eternally butthurt about all this shit as it was happening. i was there. there are anons out there that are still mad about it. note that drew doesn't even have a credit on mass effect 3's writing. but he did write the original ending to it.
https://www.gamingbible.co.uk/news/mass-effect-3-original-ending-revealed-bioware-writer-20220716
To be honest I don't think people would have liked the dark energy ending either, sounds like it suffers from the same problem of invalidating your choices and fricking up the galaxy.
So no source given you posted what I would've referenced myself next and I did as much in yesterday's thread. One of Drew's ideas post-Dark Energy being the destruction of the relays doesn't in any way translate to him having written the entire game, how are you even arguing that
>Some upset dans say ME3 was awesome until the end ruined it
Fricking bullshit
ME3 sucked all the way through, the ending was just the cherry on top
>we're all too young to fricking remember
sorry, kids
Old enough to remember that you ruined the sequels of a game I kinda liked, Mac.
ME3 did actually suck ass all the way through.
At the time memories of the previous 2 games had people handwave alot of the garbage gameplay
The shit ending made everyone reexamine without the nostalgia goggles and with a more critical eye.
So Drew is right some people did do that
On the other hand his Revan novel was just meh and nowhere near awesome which was really sad since i looked forward to it
If people were to reexamine without the nostalgia goggles they'd realize Mass Effect died five minutes into 2
It's what we call selective nostalgia goggles
I thought so too, but at its release there were alot of defenders for it. And it had enough good parts people think fondly of it till this day.
> (You)
So no source given
what part of hearing it from the man's own fricking words means "no source given" you fricking mongoloid
why are you actually posting right now? what argument are you trying to win? i'm just posting facts and you're tearing them down and disregarding them for.. what reason exactly? we all know mass effect was shit. we all know EA's meddling was to blame. We all know what kind of dev Bioware is now, and we all know it's nothing good. so what the frick are you so upset at me for?
how fricking old are you zoomers?
Are you okay there grandpa, having trouble replying to the right post? You said 'Drew wrote all 3 games from the beginning' then posted an AMA I was already familiar with and I posted myself countless times before here, where the only thing he comments on is his idea for 3's ending. You somehow took that to mean he wrote ME3 from the get go. Is it really that hard to follow?
here's also the direct AMA link.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/vxd8ea/comment/ifv6kbv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Anon you absolute moronic they were writing each game as it came out how the frick would Drew have written 3 already if he was pulled to SWTOR think
read the fricking links i provided, homosexual. again, we were all here when it was happening.
>read my reddit ama links
You know these are all fake don't you?
You're a moron that can't read, inbred; and that other dude that also replied to you isn't me
https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/625166165/#625190557
This is my own post from yesterday's thread, and it still doesn't prove Drew wrote ME3 because that's asinine
id bet money drew was only responsible for the well written parts of 2, like thane and legion.
guaran-fricking tee walters' pen was all over the capeshit of everything else
Why do you type like this?
Non-obnoxious threads don't get angry replies and fall of the catalog within minutes.
Don't blame the player, blame the entire concept of fast-flowing imageboards where the only way to have conversation with people is to annoy them.
A lot of people who make these threads are brown foreigners posting from their phone. They act like morons all the time and act like there's a reason other than them being esl morons.
Thank frick. This is the capeshit homosexual responsible for driving Mass Effect into a grave starting with 2.
Though it's too little too late, the damage has already been done. Perhaps they could hire Karpyshyn again and go back and make a proper Mass Effect 2, but we all know they wont
Drew was the one that okayed Shepard dying and being recruited by Cerberus. Stop worshipping him.
Drew wrote the entirety of Mass Effect 1 and all the lore and codex, as well as the only good novels.
I dont like Sheperd dying, but if walters wasnt involved he probably wouldve made it work
>Drew wrote the only good novels.
Which novels are worth reading anon? Personally I'm interested in this one
yeah this one's good. I also strongly recommend reading the one about cereal killer kai leng, not because it's good, but because it's so bad it becomes hilarious
>also strongly recommend reading the one about cereal killer kai leng
I would love but
Good. You opened this message. This isn't actually asari military command. They're busy tending to what's left of their planet.
So you survived our fight on Thessia. You're not as weak as I thought. But never forget that your best wasn't good enough to stop me. Now an entire planet is dying because you lacked the strength to win. The legend of Shepard needs to be re-written. I hope I'm there for the last chapter. It ends with your death.
-KL
Isn’t he one of the main reasons for BioWare becoming dogshit?
Good fricking riddance

Best fricking news I've heard in years. Actual celebration worthy
>3 coloured endings
mass effect had 2
I love how bringing peace with the Geth and Qurians prove how moronic the Reapers are
>having peace for a weekend proves countless millennia wrong
This is your meat brain at work
I wouldn't know, I always exterminate those flashlight heads.
im convinced this anti-drew pro-mac crusader in every mass effect thread is mac himself. no one else could be so moronic in their defense of trash
>Hack Walters who tried to write Tali out of ME2 and ME3, and who was the main writer of the worst game of the trilogy leaves
holy shit this game is gonna be awesome, bring it on
>tried to write the suit rat out of the sequels
Unfathomably based
i will NOT romance Liara no matter how much you shove it down my throat Mac
>we could be living in the timeline without autists analyzing how Tali's sweat tastes like
Chris Schlerf, John Dombrow and Cathleen Rootsaert
>literally who
Indeed
im just scared they get someone even worse
just wait, the next writer will be a blue haired tumblerina
Mac is good at character writing, he's just awful at bigger universe ideas and the fact he had to end up writing those speaks more about EA's treatment during 3's development than anything else. What little we know of the new game is already garbage given they're bringing Liara back
>Mac is good at character writing,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You're scaring the neighbors
Youre scaring the entire human population by suggesting something so ridiculous
I'll accept the concession
>bringing Liara back
think what you what about the author's pet, but the larger implications surrounding her return spell only good news IMO. Better the old crew return than some special snowflake nu cast like Andromeda.
I'd rather the new game ruin characters I'm not attached to
ME 3 already did that.
But 2 was the one that changed Liara from a geek historian to a super sekrit spy broker
Deus Ex HR/MD writer is working as the main writer for the game, make of that what you will.
She's senior narrative director
She did good work with the Guardians of the Galaxy game some parts were very Mass Effect-esque
Unironically game made a much better job on developing characters that Gunns movies ever could
Oh, cool, the dude who ruined Mass Effect. Kinda late though..
Who wrote Mass Effect Androgynous
Damn this man is a beast, singlehandedly carried series
Post the follow up that the same anon wrote some years later
Never knew there was a follow up.
Post it.
19 years too late.
Shhh guys, he’s sleeping
I love that dlc so much and the Citadel Epilogue Mod is perfect
>I love that dlc so much
I forget the party exists because the best parts of the DLCs are the Citadel underbelly with an underequipped Shepard and the Armax Arena's gameplay and challenges + new squadmates. Mechanically it's the best DLC in the game, maybe the trilogy
>and the Citadel Epilogue Mod is perfect
Cringe
I pretty much keep a save file at the start of that DLC at all times
What the frick I let Fist live and he didn’t come save me from the Reapers at the end of 3
Ew what the frick is this thing and how do I get one on my team
Im not trying to excuse the awful endings of 3 but weren’t they purposely left vague so you could imagine what happened afterwards instead of having a definite answer since it’s suppose to be the end of YOUR story.
3's endings pre-EC were nothing but a result of extreme publisher deadlines don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Not a single creative soul with free expression would've been okay with what was presented, even if they liked it narratively they would've presented it far better. Remember:
>"ME3 was originally announced to release in the holiday season of 2011. By March 2011, the game production was behind schedule and the leads were convinced they couldn't have it ready for that release. Ultimately, Bioware's General Manager Aaron Flynn got the release pushed back to March 2012, through a direct phone call with the head of EA's games label. Even with that, production was still behind schedule and a significant amount of content was cut from the game."
EA thought it was a good idea to rush the conclusion to a trilogy after the last game barely moved the plot forward and this one had to be bigger and better with more savefile transfer consequences all running on a PS3 with 250MB of memory
What are the chances Dreadname kills Bioware for good?
I actually didn't think ME3 was completely irredeemable but boy am I sure glad I didn't pay for it.
isn't he the one who turned me's story into shit?
I thought most people liked Tali, what happened?
Tali posters have been obnoxious autists for a decade, worse tha Liara-gays and Miranda-gays
Alot of people still do
Talis is fine-ish. Its her obsessive, creepy "what does her sweat taste like?" fanboys that are the problem.
Where does this even come from?
BioWare forums
Okay, I thought it was some out of context line from the game that people memed to death
You mean the chad Ph.D in chemistry poster who uses his power of science to uncover the secrets of waifu while simultaneously making the scientific process itself a fun endeavor in and of itself?
Gays happened.
3 wrote her as a bad character who was just a spy stealing technology and reporting on everything you were doing.
>3 wrote her as a bad character who was just a spy stealing technology
Rent free to this day
i never liked her. she's one of the weakest and useless party members in all games, her fans are obnoxious, and her people are moronic.
the internet got filled with homosexuals.
Oh no, not the guy responsible for Mass Effect Andromeda, noooo..
If the Geth wanted to be left alone why didn’t they just give the homeworld back to the Qurians and fricked off to somewhere else? The Qurians were moronic but they probably would have stopped attacking Geth if they just let them have Rannoch back
they were trying. it was explained multiple times in game.
I know the Geth tried to bring peace but I mean just straight leave and go somewhere else. It always seemed like the Qurians kept attacking because the Geth took the homeworld, and if the Geth just left there wouldn’t be any issues.
they were trying to leave, anon. that's why they were building that giant station to upload all their networks into.
Oh yea I forgot they actually had it built in 3 then got attacked. I really need to replay the games and get a refresher
quarians are lucky Tali exists because they deserve genocide for their collective stupidity.
Tali and that one captain from her recruitment mission are the only good Qurians
Because the games want you to conveniently forget the geth genocided 99% of the quarian race, well beyond just fighting back. They massacred civilians then kept murdering whoever got near the Perseus Veil like that one ship in the ME1 sidequest. But muh Legion dindu nuffin 🙁
F.
He was a mediocre writer at best, but he was still the last bastion of sovl left at the company and the only reason that Mass Effect didn't get completely pozzed like Dragon Age did.
Shepard
Finally. Fricking hack.
