BioWare head writer leaving gaming

Yeah, Bioware games are whack. It's all hype. If you thumbs down me you're a child molester

Maybe Bioware will have some decent stories in thier games now. Previously Bioware titles put me to sleep, most over rated developer ever.

Good, now maybe we'll see the next set of Darth Bane novels.

He probably sad something about adding skip buttons for combat, and is getting out whiloe he still can... jk, LOL

@Gryphes2k ...errr, what?

@DethAngel22 yeah put some misery on u is better.

Brilliant imagination! Good Luck!

@Gryphes2k I was copying "Misery" lol

@DethAngel22 if you break his legs I may kill you ,sorry.

Chris Avalone now please.

i like bioware very much . im little worry about bioware are they lost them power to write a new storyline . do any thing but pleas we except prime storyline for dragon age 3

did he write dragon age 2?

I wish him the best of luck in whatever comes next :) if he managed to pull off something as brilliant as mass effect 2 I have little doubt that his next works will be fruitful as well :)

I wish him luck, thank him for his great work with my favorite developer and I hope Bioware can keep up the quality of their games without him.

P.S. I wonder if Bioware has a job opening available *begins searching for resume*

I have loved his Mass Effect books! I hope he makes some more of those. :D

Please go back to making Darth Bane books.

Good Luck to him

Karpyshyn is an entertaining writer (his novels aren't quality or anything), but he gets insane props for writing Jade Empire and if he had a hand in the characters from ME2 then he needs a big pat on the back. Thanks for everything!

That's to bad love every game on the list. But Good luck to him

but.. dragon age III ):

Well at least he can say he left the gaming buisness on a high note. Wish him luck in his next project.

Mass Effect already went gold. Will be out in March, so he is already done with that game which is probably one of his reasons for leaving. ME was supposed to be a trilogy and that is it, so I can see while he wants to move on, but what if they decide to try something different with ME.... Hmmm... Anyways, GL to him and can't wait unitl March 6th.

A shame, he was the only good thing about BioWare's writing staff. Also unfortunately, he wasn't *that* good of a novelist... but he has room to learn and improve.

It's a shame to say this but I think writing for video games he'll reach a lot more people then he will writing books.

Like....... books............. wtf?

>.> He better be done with ME3 or someone dies...

Good luck, bro.

@Gryphes2k I dont know if he did any of the writing for Mass Effect 3(I'm sure he did) but he wasn't the lead writer.

@Cowbie I Disagree. The real reason I know of him is because of his fantastic novels, and he left to devote more time to work on his novels.

I'm going to capture this man, when his car crashes in a blizzard, i will drag him to my cabin in the forest, nurse him to health, then make him write Dragon Age 3, and when he tries to escape I break his legs

Damn, now if there's any more Mass Effect novels they're all gonna be like Deception.

@_Silent_Jay_ thank you for the support. There is a lot of good writing in the gaming world. Some Bioware, i am not saying all are the best out there. But to say that gaming lacks anything in quality is clearly ignorant. There are a lot of gamewriters that could write books instead, but choose to do this because they like it and they make quality games

don't give this position to a feminist cause they might write femdom stories instead of legit things. then Shepard will be just that dog Shepard. well I've got a german Shepard too. it's actually a cross breed.

Did he finish the storyline for Mass Effect 3 before leaving? I hope so because it's already in development process. anyway this is a good news and a bad news. good news is someone should come forward and take his position so more innovative ideas can be made. also he can work on his own business than keep doing the same thing for another couple of years. bad news is BIOWARE lost a skilled employee and we might probably lost someone who can write good storyline. changing is inevitable that's the nature of this universe.

That's sad, but like those actors who quit their jobs to go off and do better things, we'll probably never hear from him again. People have a hard time understanding when they're at the height of their careers.

And nothing of value was lot

Bioware is losing its direction rapidly nowdays,IMO,their games losing identity,being forced to appeal to both core and casual markets,while failing at both sides.This will just make things worse. A sad day for gamers to lose such a talented writter.I suppose we can expect nothing but mediocrity from Bioware now...

Frakk! the facto responsable to the most important asset of bioware (storytelling) is gone? Oh dear! I just forsee bad stories from now on.

I thank him, and I wish him well. I hope BioWare realizes how important the quality of the story telling is to their brand, to their success. And does the diligence and pays the coin to find a worthy successor, whom I am sure is out there. Think positive, guys. :-)

This are bad news for the gaming world. Except TOR, I've played all those games and I can definitely say that all of them had awesome stories. Hope that someone else will be able to take his place.

Well I liked the mans work in Mass Effect 1 and 2, and KOTOR. Whatever he does best of luck to him. God I hope Jennifer Helper doesnt replace him.

this is truly sad but i hope it doesn't affect the stories of the upcoming games in a bad way specially mass effect 3.

Well good luck to your writing friend.

'tis a sad day in the science fiction/gaming world.

A god what if Hamburger Helper takes his place :cry:

why is there a lot of shi*ty news lately??

@mellow09 Well, judging by your posts, I guess you do know a thing or two about public masturbation

@the_last_ride Missing a few words? As far as Star Wars novels are concerned, they all suck. Every one. People like them because they're like masturbation simple and pleasing to tiny but focused part of the brain. All these people praising Bioware and apparently this guy, are embarrassing. Not that they like this stuff (after all it is masturbatory), but because they think it's good. Half of the hack science fiction writers I converse with know they write crap, the other half have no idea what skill techniques are.

@mellow09 oh really? I would really like to see you come with a better story in Star Wars...

I hope he continues writing the Mass Effect novels, which are great.
