      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.

    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).
