Here's the horror the Reapers inflicted upon each race, and here's the army that you, Commander Shepard, made out of every race in the galaxy to fight them. I wanted to see a wave of rachni ravagers come around a corner only to be met by a wall of krogan roaring a battle cry. I wanted to see banshees attacking you, and then have asari gunships zoom in and blow them away.
#CASEY HUDSON AND MAC WALTERS CODE#
Every line of code in that mission is on target with the overall message.
The end of the Genophage campaign exemplifies that for me - every line of dialog is showing you both sides of the krogan, be they horrible brutes or proud warriors the art shows both their bombed-out wasteland and the beautiful world they once had and could have again the combat shows the terror of the Reapers as well as a blatant reminder of the rachni, which threatened the galaxy and had to be stopped by the krogan last time. The best missions in our game are the ones in which the gameplay and the narrative reinforce each other.
We did get a goodbye to our friends, but it was in a scene that was divorced from the gameplay - a deliberate “nothing happens here” area with one turret thrown in for no reason I really understand, except possibly to obfuscate the “nothing happens here”-ness. In my personal opinion, the first two got a perfunctory nod. 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-reviewed. Every 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. This was entirely the work of our lead and Casey himself, sitting in a room and going through draft after draft. No other writer did, either, except for our lead.
#CASEY HUDSON AND MAC WALTERS FULL#
The full text, which was copy and pasted from the original forum to places like Something Awful and others, reads as follows ( warning, spoilers): 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). With this coming to light now, it only shows that fans are not only justified and supported by a member of the ME3 writing staff, but also that BioWare should have been aware of the backlash it would have caused, and shows poor decision-making and lack of communication among the team, at least with regard to the ending. The final mission was written entirely by Casey Hudson and lead writer Mac Walters, without input or review from the other writers, which wasn’t true for every other mission in the game. The writer noted that he was very disappointed in the ending of the game and that it wasn’t what he thought it would be.
