Various ranting

A summary of things I didn’t like in canon Me that has been … fixed. Someone told me I was arrogant in thinking I could write better than Bioware. Buddy, at this point, I’m not even having to TRY very hard, given my competition is a comic that everyone I know thought was the dumbest shit since Daikatana.

First, the Alliance not finding the wreckage of the Normandy for two plus years. How in shit is this even possible? Who in hell picked up the life pods?  Fixed.

The goofy comic resolution of how Cerberus got a hold of Shepard’s body. Being fixed.

Feron being replaced with Shields. Fixed. C’mon, really? I read that comic three times and aside from gratuitous ass shots of Liara at every panel, not one word in six made any sense. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, the only good thing in that train wreck was Tazzik.

Fourth, all of ATTWN gave people a reason to care. A reason for Liara to take a risk on trusting TIM.  A reason for the Alliance not to recover the body on their own. A reason for Liara to go batshit insane, Joker and Tali to go batshit depressed, and Garrus to just go…batman.

Fifth, some kind of explanation for why in the HELL the Broker would have or could have gotten a hold of Shepard  — or how , for that matter, the Normandy could have been blown up.

Sixth, Ahern and von Grath pimpage.

Seventh, a framework around how my version of ME2 starts. For reasons that will soon become clear, this mess with Shepard will still get blamed on the geth, and the geth are not the pushovers they were in ME2. It will be war, lots and lots of ships will be built, and the galaxy will be about four or five times as strong as they were by the time even Canon ME2 rolls around, much less ME3.

I’m aware that some spelling, grammar and other mistakes and issues remain. Hell, I haven’t finished editing up OSABC yet and I’m in sight of the end of ATTWN.

But eventually I’ll burn out again, and then I can edit. For now, enjoy the update pace and forget canon. I hope you enjoy the ride.

  1. Hell, I have a rant or three about ME.
    Like for example in canon Terminus Systems turns out be a big fat of… of what exactly? Gangsters chilling out in Omega. Give me a break. At least you went to all the trouble of building Aria, Omega and Terminus into something that actually poses some kind of legitimate threat.

    TIM being a fuc… idiot by the end of the series with people running around doing stuff while an armada of AI dreadnaughts ready to adjust ass to ears ratio of all organic life approached.

    Fuckin ninjas… Kai Leng, Kasumi, N7 Slayer… goddammit.

  2. There is always something good with Ahern and von Grath pimpage.

    Also Kai Leng and Theo Pelham. The Odd Couple should definitely be right up there.
