Perhaps I'm being Naïve but when I learned that they had taken him on as a consultant I took it for granted that it was to help ensure that the game fit in with his original vision of how the series should end.

Of course if I'm wrong I will accept it in a mature and stoic fashion

Remember, sometimes consultants are people hired on a short term contract to oversee a project and sometimes they're just people they've contacted for 'hands off' advice in exchange for a fee. I'd hope it was the former in either case. But neither type of consultant is necessarily a bad thing.
