![]() ![]() So don’t expect 2.0 to read like a novel or script either I bounce around between sections and revisions, and styles of writing. ![]() Walk you through my more than a year of hard work to make Mass Effect 3 the game it should have been. ME3V is part editorial and critical analysis, but it’s also made up of script and dialogue, mixed with concept art and flowcharts, all designed to 3 You can call it a book-for simplicity’s sake, I do- but it’s so much more than that. Mass Effect 3: Vindication is not a game-nor is it more lame fan-fiction! In fact, it’s hard to categorize exactly what it is. Here’s how I explain it in the January 2014 press release for ME3V. I present all the material to come in (more or less) the same style as ME3V. How to read Mass Effect 3: Vindication 2.0: Read the original book first! None of this will make any sense to you if you don’t. I used to live in Portland, Oregon, and the Starbucks in Bedminster, New Jersey is the closest thing to my house that even resembles a coffee shop. I spent more hours-and drank more coffee than I care to admit- writing at Starbucks. Writing at Starbucks March 2013 Starbucks should give me stock. ME3V 2.0 isn’t the massive undertaking that the original book was-mostly just some extras I’d like to share with you. I’ve also included some new content for the Leviathan DLC epilogues for Feron and Glyph concept art I cut from the original book new dialogue focused on the Geth VI a new side mission involving Patriarch and (at the end) some press clippings. (Ksad Ishan is the Prothean scientist who built Vigil: the wise VI on Ilos.) For now: just know that the inclusion of the Ksad Ishan VI should have altered (if only slightly) Shepard’s interaction with Vendetta on Thessia, and later on the Citadel. In ME3V, I replaced the much-despised “Star Child” with the Ksad Ishan VI. So what will you find inside? Most important to me are the changes to Vendetta, the Prothean VI Shepard discovers in the Temple of Athame during Priority: Thessia. Mass Effect 3: Vindication 2.0 is a much shorter read than the original-a paltry 30-ish pages. Plus there’s some new material that you might appreciate. I also have some stuff that I cut from the first “build” that I’ve been itching to put back in. ME3V has some loose ends that I’d like to tie up-things that nag at me. But I still get the occasional emails from appreciative Mass Effect diehards.) So why now, when Mass Effect 4 is right around the corner, would I “release” new content for a game, and controversy, that nobody cares about anymore? Hmm. (Inside scoop: all the hype only lasted about a week. Introduction Here we are: eighteen months have passed since I dumped Mass Effect 3: Vindication on the Mass Effect universe the firestorm of press, praise, and hatred has long since burnt out. 15 Section E: New Patriarch Side Mission: pg. 10 Section C: Talking about the New Geth VI: pg. Introduction Section A: New Vendetta: pg. ![]() The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in them." - Casey Hudson, 2012 Former Mass Effect Director That becomes the state of where you left your galaxy. Who lives and who dies, civilizations that rose and fell, all the way down to individual characters. That means the endings can be a lot more different. This story arc is coming to an end with this game. We have the ability to build the endings out in a way that we don’t have to worry about eventually tying them back together somewhere. The original creators promised their players an almost unlimited set of choices and narrative possibilities-something they obviously couldn't create.” - Yannick LeJacq, 2014 Motherboard-Vice, Kotaku “Gerry Pugliese’s Vindication script is the logical conclusion to what playing a game like Mass Effect is like.
