That Mass Effect, it's heavy reading. And listening. Drew Karpyshyn should know, he's lead writer on the project, and reckons the game is the equivalent of 4-5 novels and/or twenty movies. Breaking that down, that means he and his team have penned an approximately 400,000 word-long script, which is the necessary amount for the "20+ hour critical path".
So that's how much work went into just the single, main story arc. Add in the side-quests and that's a lot of work. It's a wonder the game's coming out on time! Because it is coming out soon, isn't it BioWare? Hello?
