bluekrishna chapter 1 . 12/20/2015 "... the main rubble pile ..." am very amused krogan classify locations this way. lol. CAIN diplomatic solution. very funny. Well, this definitely grabbed me by the shorts. It's splendid. Succinct and writtien clearly in Wrex's voice. Lots of humor. With some serious feels. I do so love Wrex, teh craggy bastard. I'm going to headcanon that this is him writing this out in real time and not 'the reading of the will' cuz no way am I ever letting Wrex die. I didn't do it on Virmire, (except that first time, which I then immediately reloaded) and I won't let giant space squids ruin that now. Schewpid Reapers! Anyway, I didn't find a single typo or grammatical inconsistency. Good jooooorb. |
Vorcha Girl chapter 1 . 1/11/2015 What a great one shot! This is really fantastic and I don't have anything that I would even begin to suggest you change. It was engaging, funny and (considering it was a letter? Vid? Recording? Whichever!) it was amazing. Writing a letter like this as an interesting and engrossing one shot is hard to do. It's even harder to do in a way that people know you (the character) are, what's going on and why you're leaving a message. but you did it. Kudos! Your use of language was really fitting. You captured Wrex down to a T and I could hear his voice in my head as I read along. You elaborated when you needed to, were emotional when it was required and it was incredibly well done and quite visceral. It felt like something from the ME-verse. Hearing Wrex's thoughts on the future, the past and on his friends was interesting, and again, perfectly done. I laughed, I got some feels and I felt like I got an insight into Wrex's head. Great job - this is a fic which is going to stay with me for a a while. |
TinyTurian chapter 1 . 1/9/2015 "Is this thing on? How do you know- oh. Right." If it's supposed to be a letter, why would he write this? "Maybe humans wouldn't write like this, but we're krogan..." I think this whole paragraph was kind of unnecessary. I feel like, being a krogan, Grunt would understand this. Between two krogans this doesn't really have to be stated. Those are the only real complaints I have. Other than that I think you reall captured Wrex's voice and you used some very krogan-esque images, like Wrex coming back from the dead to kick Grunt's ass, which only drove it home further. That this isn't a very heartfelt goodbye also suits Wrex's character quite well. It would have been easy to be tempted to slip at least one little sweet line in there to pull at the reader's heartstrings, but you didn't. At some points this is even funny, which once again is very fitting for the krogans. Grammar and such was spot on as well. Great job! |
MizDirected chapter 1 . 1/7/2015 Ha! I enjoyed Wrex's way of bringing the objectors into the fold. Good stuff. Only two things stood out, one being Wrex showing no sign of that RAR! 'I'll fight to the last cell of me' mentality that I love about Wrex. He reads almost accepting. The other thing is So there. It reads reads sorta juvenile. Wrex is a lot of things, and you capture his voice so well everywhere else, that stands out. Reads more like Grunt. I do love his threat though. Grunt had better do a good job. An entertaining entry. Good stuff. |
Lady Amiee chapter 1 . 12/27/2014 Well, I have to say, you've caught Wrex brilliantly. His voice is crystal clear here, and I could hear him as if he was telling the story right next to me. Now I'm imagining exchanging war stories in a smoky bar with the old man. So wanna write that. Grammar wise, all good. No E on wreav, but other than that, I couldn't pick up a single thing. The writing is super clean, well done. I honestly don't have anything negative to say for this, it's wonderfully written, and nicely worded, with some really good detail on the Krogan diplomacy. Nice work |
AngstyShenko chapter 1 . 12/10/2014 Ok, super sorry about taking so long to review you for the Tag...family things :) Grammar I see no major issues. Genophage is lower case, but if you were writing in a krogan manner, perhaps it would be, so it's again not a major issue. Wreav has no e at the end. This story has the appropriate voice. I hear it in Wrex's voice. One thing that I kind of wish, but this is all opinion, his writing, composition, and such should be bad. I always laugh at Grunt's messages in game. He writes horribly, and I think Wrex should too. He spent too much time kicking ass to worry about grammar and spelling. I assume this is a recording (a transcription of it). I'd love to see what's going on around this recording. You give some idea. They are on Tuchanka. Is this after Earth? Is a battle going on right now? Regrouping? Just curious. I'd like to see some more context. I enjoyed this immensely. I don't often read stories with a major Wrex role. You did a good job with this prompt. Again, forgive the delay in the tagged review. |
Xenopsyche chapter 1 . 12/2/2014 Haha, this is great. I particularly love Wrex's summary of Krogan diplomacy. One thing though, wasn't Wreav killed by Kalros before curing the Genophage? Or is this set just before the final genophage mission? |
Guest chapter 1 . 11/19/2014 Totally sounds like Wrex |
thebluninja chapter 1 . 11/20/2014 Oh geez. Well, I think you do a good job of capturing Wrex' personality. The only problem I have with it is that Wrex accepts the fact he's going to die, which is not how he sounded in ME3. Aside from that, it's a nice drabble with a good blend of humor and seriousness. It would be interesting to see Grunt's response to a still-living Wrex, if you're so inclined. Good luck in the contest. |
