Help Us Interrogate Bioware Scribe Patrick Weekes!

Anyone who has seen Cabin in the Woods knows that Unicorns mean serious business.

We appreciate games with great writing and are happy to have author Patrick Weekes on episode 75 of the Rated NA Podcast.   Mr. Weekes will be joining us tomorrow from the wilds of Canada to discuss his brand new novel “The Palace Job”, which is available September 26th on Amazon.com (or now digitally!).  If you have any questions for Mr. Weekes about Mass Effect, Bioware, writing, or The Palace Job, please ask here or send us a message on Twitter @NerdAppropriate.  The more questions the better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“The most powerful man in the republic framed her, threw her in prison, and stole a priceless elven manuscript from her family. With the help of a crack team that includes an illusionist, a unicorn, a death priestess, a talking warhammer, and a lad with a prophetic birthmark, Loch must find a way into the floating fortress of Heaven’s Spire-and get past the magic-hunting golems and infernal sorcerers standing between her and the vault that holds her family’s treasure. It’d be tricky enough without the military coup and unfolding of an ancient evil prophecy-but now the determined and honourable Justicar Pyvic has been assigned to take her in. But hey, every plan has a few hitches.”

Mass Effect 3: Picking apart the N7 Collector’s Edition.

Mass Effect 3 had a major showing at day 1 of the E3 convention. We’re going to comb through it all as the day progresses, but we figured we’d start with the Mass Effect 3 N7 edition contents. I’m going to be honest with you, if this edition cost $400.00 and had life sized statue of Yeoman Chambers I’d probably find some way of buying it. From what we know now, the N7 edition looks very promising, although I rarely read an art book more than once. Have a look!

In 100 Years, What Games, Movies, and Television Will Be Seen as Art?: Our Community Responds

Episode 50 of our podcast Rated NA will be going live tomorrow afternoon, but we felt obligated to share these incredible responses to this weeks question: “What video game franchise, film, or television series will be viewed as art in 100 years and why?” On top of getting a ton of stellar responses from our friends and readers, we were also lucky enough to hear back from a number of the people that made the past 15 months at Nerd Appropriate so awesome. One of the best things about being a part of this site, is getting to talk with such incredibly creative people about the things we love, and for that we’re immensely grateful. Take a look at what some of our friends in the industry had to say about the future.

    Mr. Weekes, video games and novels are very different story telling devices, but they also share many things, what in your view are the advantages and disadvantages to both?

    When writing Mass Effect, how do you balance telling the story vs. giving players agency?

    How much ownership do players have of the story, if any?

    Mr. Weekes, how are disagreements over storyline resolved in BioWare? How common is it that BioWare writers disagree with each other on where the story should go?

    Also, can you give any hint as to whether ME3 fans can expect a new squadmate in DLC? We got Kasumi for ME2 around this time and Randall Ezno would be *awesome*. :3
