You're missing one... I have in the past, I might do if it sounds interesting. I Skipped Deception and Nexus Uprising because of the poor reviews. If the next one is about the Quarian ark reviews be damned, I'll buy two.

I second guanxi including about a missing option. For me, it depends as well on what the books are about.

I guess I'll vote "I've bought them in the past and will now too!". since I have bought Bioware books in the past and I do have an interest in these books.

I haven't and don't plan on it.

But I want to. Its just:
1)I have to start from the MET ones, and its a little daunting.
2)The MEA ones will be more compelling to me if there actual game relevance, and that isn't confirmed.

I will not buy MEA novels for closure nor do I think EA will be doing this. I think we're more likely to get DLC, more in 'small expansion pack' style than ever (carrying on from DAI and ME3) and still books to go along with them.

I don't ruin my head canon by reading any game novel. Same goes for not watching any game movie. Apart from Lara Croft. Lara is Lara and not someone you created while playing. Also my interest in game novels or movies is very limited. It's not as if they were written by the biggest stars in author's heaven.

Yea that's the key. However, I think they said the books will be prequel/tie-in books that doesn't really further the narrative except add lore. If there is dlc, then the dlc would do a good enough job that I won't need or feel like I'm missing out because I didn't read the book-like I don't think you need to read Nexus Uprising in order to get a grasp to what happened on the Nexus.

We only know details for one and it doesn't interest me in the least. Plus, it's information that, to some degree, should've been in the game.

Of all the things I've seen on the battlefields of the Frontier, the Pilot is the true dominant force.

Fast and agile...

Graceful, yet devastating.

Perceptive, resourceful, and relentless.

I bought them in the past and I'll buy them in the future. The first novels I bought were for Dragon Age and I liked them more than I expected that I would like them. I enjoyed the ME novels too. I know my enjoyment of them stemmed from the novels being connected to the games and not because they had stellar writing...still I enjoyed them.

I always read the books. Even if they're not particularly good they give more insight into the game.

Most of the time they're pretty enjoyable though.

I enjoyed Nexus Uprising (although in that case, to my mind, it contradicted the game!)

Same. I'd even say that the last DA novel I'd have enjoyed even if not DA related, I genuinely liked that book.

I've bought and read every ME novel bar deception and they've all been good, pulpy fun to read! Nexus uprising has been fun so far, so hopefully I'll enjoy the rest of the series.

It's Retribution

@op: I'm interested in them and did buy them in the past, except for the Retribution since (IDK why) it never got released here in Brazil. So, I downloaded a copy of the four books somewhere and read them all(Well, except for Deception of course), but I kinda like the physical version, so I ended up buying Revelation and Ascension. I heard Nexus Uprising is already available in stores here, but I haven't had the time to check it out.

The MET ones are enjoyable and quite short. I finished Revelation, Ascension and Retribution in a day while taking notes of potentially interesting lore for my ME3 mod. I haven't touched Deception, there are too many lore conflicts in there for it to be worthwhile reading or worthwhile reading for notes for my mod.

I bought and read the first one, was kind of disappointed with it and with the Andromeda continuity as a whole so I'm done with any comics, books, or DLC even if it does come.
