It will cost you around $870 to get Mass Effect 3's DLC

LOTR (book, of course)

By Tolkien's own admission, he had no idea where he was going with Lord of the Rings when he started writing it. Notice how the first story starts out so slow and meanders so much before getting to the meat and potatoes of it all? That's because it took him a while to figure out his direction.

As a matter of fact, your argument sounds so absurd I'm having trouble believing that I'm even interpreting what you're saying correctly. Let me go back and check:

I know the reason, and it is that Bioware didn't plan the trilogy ahead of time.

Yep, you're saying that the writing is "piss poor" because it wasn't planned out ahead of time. Absurd.

You should probably learn how to read, I stated the LOTR movies of which me and freelancer agreed upon.

I'm saying the writing is piss poor. However, I am saying they are retconning stuff because they didn't plan the trilogy ahead of time which is only one factor in the bad writing.

You sound like you are just looking to start an argument.

They cut out a major character in the game and are selling the DLC for 10 bucks. They are scum, no excuses.

what major character was left out?

The Prothean Squadmate...did you read the thread at all?

I wouldnt be asking if a had, wouldnt I?

A Prothean being alive is a huge deal. I expect a full storyline (NOT A DLC) to revolve around that aspect. Probably halfway through ME3 or 3/4 of the way we'll encounter it.

Commanda mon! I be comin' with you! But onla if ye paid the premium package price!

Obviously the reapers take out Jamaica early in the invasion, and this "alive Prothean" is just their version of it. [good]

Nope. Wachowski's wrote the whole script before the first Matrix was shot. From what i read, The Matrix series was originally planned to be released as comic books. Besides you could tell Matrix wasn't gonna end after the first movie.

Again, i'm not saying they didn't plan to make a trilogy out of The Matrix, what i'm saying is they didn't know how the other two movies would play out until they started writing them. They had a basic idea of which direction they would go, the obvious showdown with Smith, Neo facing down the machines and so on, but the detail and tying all the plot lines together only happened as they wrote it.

For some reason the link i gave above is redirecting somewhere else. It was a link to an actual draft of the script. Try this link. It has a link to the actual PDF that the Wachowski's wrote the script on, and it is dated October 2001. That's two years after The Matrix was released, and it was still only in draft then. Think about it, if it was already written in 1999, then why was it not released until 2003? It's because parts 2&3 spent a year in pre-production (2000-2001) they took a year to shoot (2001-2002) and a year in post-production (2002-2003). Reloaded and Revolutions were produced and shot back to back.

Writing a story and writing a script are VERY different things. Showing a PDF of the scripting in 2003 does not prove that that is the first time these ideas were conjured.

But as usual, you and EaG claim to have intimate personal knowledge which people you have never met. "They didn't know..." how could you write something like that without feeling like an *******?
