The real question is, is it written better than the official ME books?
[QUOTE=Lukeo;43607290]Mass Effect is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"[/QUOTE]
Baldur's Gate is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"
Planescape: Torment is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"
Call of Duty is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"
Battlefield is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"
Bastion is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"
Half-Life is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"
Every Zelda game is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"
Every Mario game is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"
Every game which has a bad guy that you fight against is essentially "you are good guys these are bad guys kill bad guys"

wow thanks for contributing man. i bet what you said wasn't intended to have any weight or meaning behind it at all until somebody said what you said is stupid and didn't need to be said!!!!!!!
gg
Also I envy people who are passionate enough to do stuff like this. I love the universe that was created with Mass Effect, but I could never bring myself to sit down and actually contribute something to the community like that.
400 pages? I tried my hand at a couple Mass Effect short stories a few years ago and I was happy if I got past 10 pages. Props to him for the dedication.
[quote]Shepard can choose Khalisah over Allers as the Normandy's embedded reporter and experience the "intricacies" of having the Galaxy's most hated journalist on board an Alliance warship, and Shepard can even be so brazen as to romance her. The Khalisah romance and James romance are given new dialogue and content in accordance with the DLCs too, especially Citadel. Khalisah is a bad, bad girl...[/quote]

Gonna give it a read, but already in the first few pages where he's talking about what he's changed he sounds so fucking snobby
There's a [url=http://www.fimfiction.net/story/119190/fallout-equestria]620k word Fallout/MLP crossover fanfiction[/url] with [url=http://falloutequestria.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_Equestria]its own wiki[/url]
And [url=https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4112682/1/The-Subspace-Emissary-s-Worlds-Conquest]here's[/url] a 3.6m word Super Smash Brothers fanfiction which I think might still be going
Also a [url=https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5782108/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_Methods_of_Rationality]560k word Harry Potter fanfic[/url]
(The entire LOTR trilogy is 437k words long)
There are some really dedicated people out there, but I mean if that's your hobby have fun with it I guess

I stole all of this info from Reddit by the way so if you're interested in people pointing out even stranger fanfics then [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1ujl12/til_there_is_a_super_smash_bros_fanfic_that_is/]here's the thread[/url]

So I heard you like sticking your dick into wasp nests
[QUOTE=Nestophales;43606903]have you ever seen hardcore bioware fans. ME/DA is fucking life to those people, its creepy and sad[/QUOTE]
What has baffled me for years is something as mediocre as Dragon Age being regarded so highly by some people. It is a mystery.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;43606874]how can you obsess over something as average as Mass Effect from a narrative point of view.[/QUOTE]
I mean it's not like he just sat down and did it all in a few days.
It was probably just something he did when he had nothing else to do or just felt like it. You've probably made at least 400 pages worth of facepunch posts.
I wonder how long before somebody makes it a mod. [I]That[/I] would be obsession. You'd have to read the whole thing at least a few times.

The numbing pain stimulates some, so I don't think it can be compared to ME3.

The original was more than just okay-ish, but everything beyond that went down the shitter at alarming speed.
Should definitely stick to writing. These sketches remind me of the highschool "artist" types.
Past that though, its pretty decent. If it were a thing, I'd play it.

As someone who read all the ME books I'm glad to have a little more content.

It was supposed to be a "romanced Jack, ignored Grissom Academy, ran across Jackbot in cerberus base" scenario.
He cut out the fighting, made it a cutscene, removed her helmet, sword, and sleeves to make it more eye-shocking that "its [I]jack"[/I]. But she gets shot before she can even do anything, complete with a renegade interrupt where sheppordimus shoots her instead.

no it's not
last i checked, there's not a single "evil faction" in the entirety of planescape. Even the hordes of the undead lead by a puritanical lich have their share of dandy people and are totally willing to work with you if you bother with some diplomacy

It's just a pretty good game that lets you do a lot of different stuff RP wise.
Play as a gallant knight, a slum berk out for revenge, a power mad wizard man, it all works pretty well.
And then 2 comes out and you get to choose from three different flavors of british asshole but that's a whole nother story

I'm still asking this about the super smash bros: brawl fanfiction (that beetle linked at the top of the page), it's allegedly the longest single piece of written literature in human history
[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;43606870]Jesus Christ, I can understand the massive mountain of disappointment expressed by fans but holy shit guy, it's just a game.[/QUOTE]
It's this kind of mindset that keeps video games from being respected as another medium. If it was a movie or book, people would be a lot more lenient towards it.

Still way better than I can draw.
no life
[QUOTE=NoDachi;43606936]would you say the same thing about a 400 page MLP erotica?[/QUOTE]
Just because its not my cup of tea I'm not going to banish it and call it worthless like I know exactly what good literature is.
