BioWare Correcting 4th Mass Effect Novel

Posted on Monday, February 6 @ 12:05:15 Eastern by Keri_Honea


As you may recall from last week, the latest Mass Effect novel, Mass Effect: Deception, really upset a large number of Mass Effect fans with its inconsistencies with Mass Effect lore. So much so, fans created a Google Doc listing all of the errors found thus far.

The fans' outrage did not fall on deaf ears. BioWare has acknowledged these errors and promises to correct them in a future edition of the book.

From their forums, they said: 

The teams at Del Rey and BioWare would like to extend our sincerest apologies to the Mass Effect fans for any errors and oversights made in the recent novel Mass Effect: Deception. We are currently working on a number of changes that will appear in future editions of the novel.

We would like to thank all Mass Effect fans for their passion and dedication to this ever-growing world, and assure them that we are listening and taking this matter very seriously.

It's so nice when a legitimate complaint from fans goes noticed and acknowledged by the developer. My questions is, however, what about the edition I already have purchased? Can I trade it in for the corrected edition?

    Why not? There are some pretty decent game novels out there. The Halo books are a good example, and a lot of the Diablo and Warcraft novels are pretty good too (if a little predictable, but no less enjoyable).

    Most game novels aren't just a direct novelization of the games in question either (most, not all). The Halo novels (with the exception of The Flood) tell original stories separate from from the ones the game tells, and even The Flood, which novelizes the first Halo game, adds a secondary story that was never touched on in the game. The Warcraft novels are all decent as well, telling the stories of some major characters, some minor characters, and give the reader a better understanding about how the Warcraft story as a whole pans out.

    They're not all just a bunch of cheap cash-grabs, like games made based on the latest blockbuster film. They actually put some work into the books.

    Why would you want to get rid of your copy full of errors? It'll be a collector's item in a couple of decades. You should go out and buy a couple more before they get start changing things.

    After reading that list of errors, it sounds like they need to write a new book.
