I don't think I every claimed Tillian was the creator of the Reapers... or if I did then I was drunk after arguing with her and I take it back.

Wow... you two are adorable, Buch and Gorvar... I love you both... ;D
And I just love that picture of the cat-fighting T-Rexes... ;D
And Buch - kudos to you for making me laugh so hard with that picture of the "Extinction of the First Cycle"... that was damned hilarious... ;D

So Leviathan is worth it?
That's the first unambiguous praise I have seen for it yet. And it sets up the ending nicely.
That had me thinking, what would have it been like if DLC for stories existed in Shakespeare's time? Would be like if he had left out the scene with the witches and MacBeth's wife nagging him to kill the King and usurp his throne in Macbeth? Then the audience would be really confused when the great hero suddenly turns into a murderous tyrant king who had to be put down and they also don't know why he was freaking out when he found out MacDuff was born by C-section.
Then when the crowd boos afterward not understanding a whit of the play good old Willie calls "artistic integrity " and says they will understand later when he finishes writing the thing.

Too much?

TBh I want to see the Cross promotional stuff. You want to enjoy Macbeth even more with a new Denmark character? Go buy Hamlet and unlock new quests for Macbeth, titeld "There is something rotten in Denmark"....
Im suprised Shakespeare never did cross overs between his works. Like a mention of stuff going on in Denmark during Romeo and Juliette.
Also I totally want to do a forum story, like a Cop one where me and Buch fight crime a la Bad Boys. Of course i;m Will Smith and Buch is Martin Lawrence.

Given how much of a self promoter that man was I'm shocked he didn't.
In any event, buy Hamlet and get the ghost of Claudius in your copy of MacBeth. Yeah, I could probably do this all day.

Did you play Leviathan, JK? I can't remember who has and hasn't, now.
Regardless, yeah I'd say it's well worth it. It's nothing truly spectacular, just a series of three fun quests fighting reaper troops and three detective-work bits with EDI. But at the end when you meet the 'Leviathan' he sort of puts a lot in perspective. And 'he' wasn't exactly what I was expecting either, which was nice. And the sense of tension was surprisingly good. It has a deliberately X-Files-style sense of creepiness, trying to find the hidden sea monster. I really wanted to find the thing and meet it. And then when you do you get to look like a super badass and yell at it a little. Plus there is plenty of squad-mate dialogue for once, and Cortez gets to do some stuff.
But my two criticisms are 1) It's a bit of a plot hole when Shepard sees indoctrinated people going 'Turn baaaaack' and fails to understand what's going on despite all her prior experience of the phenomenon. And 2) The entire point of this story is to set up where the Reapers came from and why they do what they do.... so why the crikey-fuck was this made into an optional extra? I really think that the backlash would have been much less if these quests were on the disc.

Oh wow - that'd be just... weird? ;D And I agree about the Shakespeare crossovers thing... now I'm tempted to write a Shakespearean Crossover... and modernize it... I've actually written a modernized version of Macbeth for a high-school assignment, but I don't have it anymore and I think it's because my teacher liked it so much she asked me if she could keep it to use as a tool to help other students understand the story better (since I'd modernized the setting as well as the dialogue). I clearly remember her saying that, but I don't recall her giving it back to me before the end of the year... and then the computer I had the story saved on crashed and the story was lost when the computer was repaired.

I hear you about MacBeth by the way!
But I think people misread that 'artistic integrity' quote... all they meant by that was that they weren't going to change the entire ending for popular demand. Which surely is a good thing. Who could respect an author who lets the reader write his ending for him?
