    So I started ME3 a few days ago with my paragon femshep. I chose to romance Thane in ME2 (I always do, I can't resist him <3) and here is the biggest issue that I have with ME3 at the moment: it seems that the whole character development that took place in the end of ME2 with Thane is now almost completely forgotten. I heard that you get more out of the the whole story with him in dlc, but yeah..it should be in the game. If I knew all this before I would have sticked to one of the main characters when choosing a romance to get a more satisfying story. -.-

    All in all it seems to me that a lot of things happen in the game that are out of character and certain choices that you have made are irrelevant. Did they change the writers or what happened?

    The gameplay is alright. The only thing that annoys me is this new 'roll feature' in battle, which doesn't always work the way I want it to.
    I didn't finish the game yet, but up until now there seem to be less side missions (?) I don't know, I just feel like I'm much less able to explore the galaxy.

    I think it's largely the same group of writers from #2?

    The side missions there WERE seemed to be way more fleshed out (like Benning)... and you get a little more Thane fulfillment in the Citadel DLC but HAHAHAH BIOWARE DLC HAHAHA. (I haven't played the Citadel DLC as I'm still on a re-playthrough of #2 before I try 3 again with my main Shep, but, Youtube. I actually have really enjoyed it.) But yeah, Thane's role in #3 is very brief.

    Also, the rolling? Yeaaah. There was a lot of NO DON'T GO INTO COVER GET BACK INTO COVER YOU JUST ROLLED etc for me in #3.

    Mac Walters took over as lead writer for ME3. Drew Karpyshyn (no longer with Bioware) and Mac Walters co-led ME2.

    Drew Karpyshyn also wrote many of the great Mass Effect novels.
