In April, BioWare released a
patch to sate its critics, improving
the characters’ facial details and
animations, which according to the
gaming press has been positively
received. “The real, pure fans of
the brand will love Mass Effect
either way, even though we made
some mistakes with the release,
they will still like it and give us
good feedback,” the 31-year-old
Québécois says. “The ones who are
complaining, most are either the
new consumers that Mass Effect Right: Fictional
was trying to get, people who don’t suits like this still
really know the lore or they are just reference the real
trolls – it’s the internet, it’s fine. So world
the gaming community, at first, it
was rough but now it’s better since Below: This
we released patches to fix things. I superfiend was
think the community understand UV’d in 3ds Max
that BioWare are trying to support and rendered by the
everyone, their customers and Frostbite engine
their market. I guess the people
who like our game are happy and
the other ones, well it’s sad, but
yes we did make mistakes, but
everyone’s human in the end.”

recruit Scott or Sara Ryder at the
Andromeda Initiative, a strategy
attempting to save humanity
by populating new worlds.
