"Krogan Biology, with its nested redundancies, is singularly resistant to this sort of assault"What is he saying about Krogans? I can't read it.

3. Biotics are suddenly classified by their power level - There are continual references to people being Level One, Level Two and Level Three biotics, Three supposedly being the strongest. There is no such classification scheme, and it appears to result from confusing the implant designations (e.g. L2 and L3) with an individuals intrinsic potential. This error is compounded by the fact that, in ME1, it is mentioned that those with L2s can sometimes get better results than those with the newer L3 series, as L2s allow the biotic to "spike higher."

Can't believe how screwed up this book is. Don't know why Drew Karpshyn didn't just write it. Even the Bioware books are buggy now.
In reading the rage comic, I realize Bioware have it made. Their fans will buy ANYTHING. Sure, they might bitch, but not only will the fans by it, either saying it can't be that bad or wanting to see just how bad it is, but they'll buy it AGAIN with corrections! They should just raid the lapsed copyright novels, change a few names and throw in some space gibberish, and release them as brand new novels. I was going to say they should pay someone cheap for their fan fiction, but they obviously already thought of that.

Holy shit, is this for real?
fake edit: read the wikipedia entry for it, YEP.
Not like the Karpyshyn novels are any good.
Wow. Just wow.
Is "De-Autism-Izer" real?

Lol at people reading books based on videogames
In the event that you're the original author of these, good job dude. Really good takedown.
He was writing the Star Wars TOR novel Revan and working on the next one
I read through that Google doc and it seems like A LOT of things need to be changed. Will they actually be able to correct the errors without massive changes to the overall story? I feel bad for everyone with the first edition, you get essentially a buggy product with no recompense.

Why does it matter? A story is a story regardless of what it is based on? =)Lol at people reading books based on videogames

Terrible analogy.here, let's try this
>>lol at people eating hamburgers made at mcdonalds
<<Why does it matter? A hamburger is a hamburger regardless of who makes it.
Terrible analogy.
Movies can be based on a terrible book and still be good. Why can't the opposite be true? The Witcher was a book made into a game. If the Witcher books are terrible, does that mean the game is terrible? And vice versa? No.
If a story is enjoyable or not is completely subjective, so what is the "lol" part referring to? Just wondering. The same goes with McD burgers, if people enjoy them, what is the "lol" referring to? Is it because McD burgers arent healthy? If so, at least there you have something objective to refer to, that cant be said if someone enjoys a story or not.the analogy refers more to the general level of quality in game adaptation books than the inherent nature of adaptations. It is not a logical consequence but rather a practical reality that video game novels are pretty bad. Macdonalds could make a good burger but they don't. That's the practical reality I'm speaking to.
they never should have had anyone but Drew Karpyshyn write a Mass Effect novel in the first place
Which is sort of ironic because apparently that Revan novel he did is almost as bad as this. Not as many actual mistakes, but lots of plot holes and pretending kotor 2 didn't exist, stuff like that.
I guess the answer is to take the 2 series and trade authors?
well it helps that Drew was the creator of the Mass Effect universe to begin with given he wrote the first game
though it's odd the Revan novel was so bad since he was also the writer of KOTOR 1 (and helped write the storylines for SWTOR which so far have been pretty awesome)

I think most of the complaints is his walking back some of the complexity and shades of grey found in KOTOR2.
I just glanced at the google doc and holy shit
what is wrong with Mass Effect fans
well that's one way to put itThey're passionate despite Bioware not giving a fuck about their passion.
