Keep writing these, that’s an order!
Again a lovely script, certainly pointing out the obvious and shallow selling points of this particular game and others in general. You’ve got a good eye for this.
i still cant get over the part where the all leave the ship for no reason…or the fact that this game did precisely jack to further the story that was started from the first game.
Holy cow. I love this script. I just finished the game a month ago and I kept wondering to myself why I could not love it like I loved the first one. This script is complete justification how weak the whole story is. Should’ve mentioned how those planet scanning thingies make the mako missions actually seem more fun! Excelsior!
Apart from being utterly and effortlessly hilarious your scripts are also simply pleasurable to read, because of the obvious attention to detail and passionate involvement with the narrative that just shines through every line – and you’ve got it backed up by such crazy amounts of references to all kinds of stuff that I swell with pride every time I catch one. As a result your scripts become almost interactive themselves and I imagine that’s the hardest thing for a game narrative designer to do – interact with their audience in a subtle and clever fashion – not too much so it ruins the illusion but just enough to give the writing a personal feel: “Hey, that’s exactly what I think, it’s like they wrote this for me”.
And despite essentially picking at every tiny imperfection and being gloriously offensive I think if the BioWare team were to ever peak in here and read your script they’d leave all flattered and rosy-cheeked because of the obvious love and dedication that went into exploring every bit and bob of their creation.
I’ll be following your work with pleasure!
My existence feels validated now.
