Is it just me or are people beginning to act like Mass Effect is reality? People are giving these big moral speeches about Renegade and Paragon, bringing these philosophies and historical similies into the mix to help govern their actions. They are also saying they will exact revenge upon BIOWARE by destroying the mass effect civillizations IN THE GAME and act like that affects other players.

People are also beginning to start using all these real life analogys to help understand random ass things in the game such as people comparing the Cerberus to the N@ZIS and what not which although is a suprisingly good analogy, is still going a bit far considering it's a game. But worst of all, people are personally insulting each other over what they chose to do in the game and are again comparing it all to real life and slandering other players because they didn't study historical events that seem similar to those in question in the game...it's ridiculous.

It's what nerds do.

Could be worse, we could actually be debating over the morality of the deaths of gladiators for our amusement. That's what people use to do before video games. That or public executions, sacrifices, etc.

People always get their knickers in a knot over stories, plays, and movies. Why should Mass Effect be any different? It may just be fiction, but a good story is one you can relate to. Even though it's all made-up it causes us to question things about our own world, maybe even our own morals. Is that really a bad thing then?

As I've understood Bioware's intent is to make games more then just the mindless fun. Obviously the games are still made to be fun, but they are also suppose to make you think a little. And not in the way of simply solving puzzles and such.

Because some people are really attached to their sheps have their whole lives planned out thanks to the gaps BW left and know everything about their shep including what he/she eats for breakfast, how many bathroom breaks they take, and whom they're going to marry in series I find these types of gamers to be where most of the mud slinging is comming from primarily because they want the game to go and end like they have it in their minds, fanfics, fan art, and dreams. So yeah when you're comming from that part of the Internet you want what you want and BW says they're open to it all so people expect it all.

There are those who want the moral dilemma or are upset that more choice or consequences weren't' used at the appropriate times during game play.

Some people are really upset sheps a brick and the sheps in their minds aren't matching the shep thats on screen.

Others are upset because thats all they can ever be while they strive for perfection

there are teenagers on here who want the teenage love story

there are older gamers who want to make sure their gaming experience isn't ruined by teen angst and unnecessary drama for dramas sake antics. final fantasy costumes, and ff whinny team mates and protagonists.

there are people on here who feel like the story that once was focused and had a clear path have driven off the road and they want to make sure there is story left to save if not flat out grab that wheel and force the car around and back up on that clearer road.

I mean I could go on and on but as you can see the Internet has alot of diversity.

I believe this is called obsession. Seriously though, it's a great game and the lore is great, but some people really are obsessed with it. Nothing wrong with it though, I mean, doesn't everyone wish they were commander Shepard and Mass Effect was real?

[ADelusiveMan]

Well, I think it's true what a lot of people have said. There are nerds, crazed fans, and then the trolls. I think I'm actually a crazed fan. I played Mass Effect 1 to the point that I truly become invested in the story. Mass Effect did something most games and even other story-telling mediums could not - they made me care on a whole new level. I was in the game; the choices, the characters, even the Reaper threat seemed real. No game has ever made me and my morals part of it's universe. So that's why I tend to be somewhat 'obsessive.' That's not to say I don't 'have a life,' because I do. I just really appreciate quality story telling. As an aspiring storyteller myself, I find what Bioware did was absolutely amazing.

I will throw some heavy stuff, so don’t try to argue it’s fun but pointless. 

We all agree that ME gives us chance to have different experience. Experience,
which we would never have in our lives. This game allows us to express ourselves to the fullest!

Those moral decision ad ethic choices are proof of who and what we are!  Would we choose different in real life? Maybe some, but not me. 


When someone choses slightly or completely different plays stile - people may feel offended. I see how that can be a problem. 

I believe that when we argue over something it is because our ideals. Sometimes our
believes and ideals com in conflict, And we simply defend our believes. 


Personally  - I don’t care how others play , I care about peoples behavior towards this game. And i care a lot about story and characters. 

And then someone comes in the topic  and screams "I  got Tali kill on purpose on the Suicide mission because I hate her russin accent." 
Once done the topic becomes the second biggest Talihater/Talimacer topic on the board.

I'm watching Avatar right now...
I have designed my own avatar and have written a fan-fiction about a middle path between the planet as represented by the navi and the corporations...
Welcome to other people.

[ExtremeOne]

hey Op Bioware made this franchise about player choice and so that makes people care more about this franchise than any other.

[Chuvvy]

Look up "anthropomorphism" it will help you greatly.

[SkittlesKat96]

 Yeah I agree people take it a bit seriously but thought provoking games are kind of good (but when it comes to arguing and stuff like that...)

[Golden Owl]

ME brings up many very interesting points of discussion and debate... philosophically, etc...And would be very interesting if people were able to stick to discussion and debate... unfortunately the flaming, abuse and taking other people gaming choices personally that a few persist with, suck the fun out of it and really doesn't make any sense...why get so caught up with and angry about how others choose to run their own games?

[jakal66]

what cracks me up are comments like"ok they totally ruined kaidan's armour",or "Thanks for ruining Ashley's look".People take this game(and many others) and its characters way too seriously and are way too emotionally attached to them.It's like with other genres,like films(trekkies anyone).
There's a boundry which I think it's a bit risky to pass and many fans do,the difference between fan and fanatism is sometimes shady.I respect people who learn and know everything about the game but sometimes it's kinda scary!Hahaha!Although I do belive in free will and you can do what you want,believe what you want and be obsessed with somehing as much as you want.Me?I think I'm in the middle...I enjoy the world Bio has created for us but I don't live it...yes I can be mad about soething but i won't fight for that..nor lose any sleep.But again I do respect everybody's position on this

Yes well we are all a little crazy sometimes.

O thank god I thought I was the only one that noticed. Its getting kinda sad, though it is kinda funny to watch.

[ianmcdonald]

Can I suggest that we ban the phrase "getting screwed out of?"

I see threads littered with this sort of hyperbolic nonsense. Something not going your way does not mean you were "screwed out" of it.

[eldav]

can we ban you ?

Video games is serious business.

I guess this means Bioware made a great game then haha...

On a more serious note, I really don't care how people are obsessed over how Ashley or Kaidan looks. I mean, if they really take the game to heart, than of course they're going to try and help the developers get it right.
