    Unfortunately he was also the one responsible for the plot hole filled “artistic” ending of ME3.

      And that’s fine. Plenty of authors are great at writing the journey and terrible at writing endings. And from what we’ve gotten so far at least he now knows what not to do when writing an ending.

    Over the years I’ve seen a lot of articles about former Bioware devs leaving to form their own studios but nothing has ever really come of it. Whatever magic they had in the 00’s just seems to be lost.

      Stray gods came out back in August and is currently sitting at very positive on steam, it’s by David Gaider’s new studio, he was former lead writer on dragon age.

    Or as some of us affectionately call him, Hack Walters. Guy can write characters fantastically, but I don’t think he has it in him to write consistent narrative. Well, not unless he has improved over the last few years. (x to doubt).

    Nice, maybe the next Mass Effect game won’t have any cut scenes.
