![]() ![]() If you'd asked me the themes of Mass Effect 3, I'd break them down as: This mission? Casey and our lead deciding that they didn't need to be peer-reviewe.d This was entirely the work of our lead and Casey himself, sitting in a room and going through draft after draft.Įvery other mission in the game had to be held up to the rest of the writing team, and the writing team then picked it apart and made suggestions and pointed out the parts that made no sense. No other writer did, either, except for our lead. I have nothing to do with the ending beyond a) having argued successfully a long time ago that we needed a chance to say goodbye to our squad, b) having argued successfully that Cortez shouldn't automatically die in that shuttle crash, and c) having written Tali's goodbye bit, as well as a couple of the holo-goodbyes for people I wrote (Mordin, Kasumi, Jack, etc). There are some major spoilers, though, so be warned. Verified or not, it provides an interesting perspective on Mass Effect 3's ending, and it's a worthy read regardless of the source. In the interest of not making the hearsay any worse than it already is, we've reproduced the full text of the message below. That's obviously not solid proof that Weekes penned the post himself, but it's quite clear that the situation isn't cut and dry either way. ![]() ![]() That being said, the text in question does seem to have some insider knowledge of Mass Effect 3's development process, and subsequent responses on the Penny Arcade forums, as well as one trusted firsthand source, have indicated to us that the text in question did, in fact, originate with the Takyris account. In addition, BioWare's community coordinator Chris Priestly has said that after contacting Weekes about the matter, he's decided it's nothing more than an imitation. The original post has since been deleted, and several other posts on the Penny Arcade forums quoting the post have been edited to remove the text, ostensibly because the author asked that he not be quoted. Now, the reason I've been throwing around the word allegedly like it's nothing is because the entire story has become very muddled by recent events. ![]()
