The Burning of Mass Effect: Deception

UPDATE - (03/02/2012): Victory! BioWare have commented on the Deception controversy and promise a revision of the book for re-release. Granted this book has a pointless plot and I highly doubt that'll be changed either, but it shows they actually do listen to the fans. Congratulations to you guys!

Never have I read anything so god awful in Mass Effect lore, this is just terrible writing and I still feel unclean about it.

Sorry no voice. I attempted to record it but stuttering and re-use of words only made the video boring, so I opted for a fitting song along with annotation subtitles. So please keep annotations on to understand what I'm saying.

Please visit the Mass Effect: Deception discussion thread for more details on the book itself:

It's a little silly that this video is age restricted.

Anyhow, the reason it took you so many times to burn the book is because you completely went the wrong way about it. As someone who has burned plenty of books, you need to open the book up and start burning the pages. The outer cover doesn't combust well and you need to take some sort of care with the burning otherwise the fire will run out of fuel quickly. Stoke it so the fire spreads to the other pages and don't let it collapse on itself.

Yeah, this is pretty much "book burning 101" but it didn't freaking occur to me to do that till way after I finished. XD

I'm still upset with the ending of mass effect.

I want my blue children god damn it

Pick the Destroy Ending with max points, watch your Shepard survive the event and write out their future for yourself.

I've had enough of this book's disingenuous assertions.

oh, don't worry i'm up to date with song if ice and fire. also, i was aware that the sixth sense thing wasn't a spoiler anymore. And it wasn't my goal to spoiler people with my original comment. I was simply pissed at the book and was under the impression people who watch this video already read it too and are equally pissed. I apologize for the spoilers. Really wasn't my intention.

I loved the first 3 novels. I dont think ill be reading this one untill there is a revised version. I had a bad feeling the moment I saw Kapishyn or however you spell it didnt write this one... that brings me to my purpose of coming here: Is the revised version out yet? It has been like 6 months already.

I know dude, I beat the game like 5 times with different Shepards. I still didn't like the 0.5 second breathing scene in the rubble, I hoped extended cut would fix this, but nope. It still leaves everything open to interpretation.Unfortunately I didn't get the only thing I hoped EC would deliver, which is a scene of Shepard after war living a happy life. Thanks for telling me anyway man I appreciate it.

Who knows maybe the Omega dlc changes something regarding the end.
