I wonder if that could be the Warden's son with Morrigan.

We're already getting some of the blame:

Hi Everyone
Below, please see a message from BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka in regards to the recent attacks on Jennfer Hepler.
Jennifer is a valued, talented employee who has been with BioWare for many years and we hope will be with us for many more. It is awful that a few people have decided to make her a target for hate and threats, going so far as fabricating forum posts and attributing them to her, and singling her out for projects to which she has not contributed (i.e., Jennifer is not even a part of the Mass Effect writing team). All of us at BioWare support and will continue to support Jennifer fully, and are happy to see so many people out there are also supporting her during this difficult time.
- Dr. Ray Muzyka. Co-Founder of BioWare; General Manager, BioWare Label; Senior Vice President, Electronic Arts
Additionally we will be making a donation of $1000 in Jennifer's name to Bullying Canada. Please feel free to also donate to this worthy cause in support.
Thank you again to everyone who has supported Jennifer and BioWare in this difficult time.
I wholeheartedly agree that all of the attacks on her were reprehensible, but I also feel that it's fair to say that her quote "I just figure they're jealous that I get to have both a vagina AND a games industry job, and they can't get either." was incredibly unprofessional and somewhat deluded. "They are all just jealous" is the most shallow, vain retort a person could possibly have, even to personal attacks. The people that attacked her are idiots, but her response did not show much humility or insight.
I think she hit it on the head. She has power they don't have, and is a *gasp* woman to boot! She doesn't have to be 'humble'. Getting into the industry as a woman is hard, and staying there (specially for as long as she has) is harder. More power to her.
Criticizing bioware in a serious manner is like trying to teach calculus to a retarded kid with progeria.
I find it absoloutly hilarious that the comment made by the TheCourier, a well written, fair and critical post was deleted before mine, where I expressed hope for Hepler miscarrying her baby. Surely all the Biodrones in this thread should think about that and realise who they're worshiping.

That post that got edited, by the way, was very well worded and summed up pretty well that the problem is Bioware. Now it got edited (without any edition mark) to a post that says "Ladies and gentlemen, this is absolutely unacceptable."
WOW
Even Besthapo ain't this fucked up.
