Now, now. There's no need for that kind of sexism here. That is ok Card is a bigger pig than I. |

The plot of ME1 was flawed to the point of absurdity in some places. It deserves credit for kicking off a hugely popular trilogy, but not the nostalgia fueled exaltation it's granted on the BSN.

Realistically, there is no chance that Bioware are going to hire Scott Card, a man probably better known for his vocal homophobia that his science fiction at this point, to write for them. He likely wouldn't even be on their radar.

Writers for Legion, Jack, Mordin and Samara are my top crew-writers - would love to have them back. Drew K making a return would be welcome. I think Mac did less writing for this game since he was project lead - so not sure what that means... Patrick Weekes wrote Mordin, and the stuff that actually worked in Mass Effect 3. Won't have him back though since he is the lead on Dragon Age, which is fine by me, he does good work. I think Mac was lead at one point, but only because Chris Schlerf left the project, and Cathleen something (woman who wrote Jaal) took over lead shortly after that. The game has plenty of problems on the writing front. We'll see if this improves in DLC and a sequel. If it does i am comfortable with keeping the current writers, if not they have to do something about it. |

Hope it's more consistent going forward. |

This is not a fault of ME2 but of ME3. The original creation of the banshee enemies and the original questline in the monestary in ME3 was a lot darker, appearently too dark (if you believe what was found via data mining). But when it was changed, BioWare needed a new explanation for the number of Banshees, so the number of Ardat Yakshis was increased and beeing a little bit Ardat Yakshi was turned more into an inconvinience, the Asari in the Huerta Memorial hospital even talks about her former college beeing one and getting turned into a Banshee during a reaper attack. Do tell. I always thought that Samara had the only three full Ardat Yakshi and the others were potential Ardat Yakshi, but I freely admit I'm probably just filling in the blanks myself. In the first draft the reapers forced Samaras daughters to mate with other Asari and only then turned the Asari´s corpses into Banshees.
When the Player arrives the older daughter is already addicted and cannot be saved but sacifies herself to save the youngest daughter.
So the Mission was more important than a favor for Samara because it cut of the suppkly of Banshees for the reapers but the storyline was too dark so it got scraped. |
