@Thread Spoilers: Seriously you complain now when about 100+ pages back the themes of the ending where discussed far more explicitly then they have been now and no one batted an eyelid. (barring the one person which made an off the cuff inaccurate claim) And most of it has been on topic regarding the number BW has managed to do for s/s romances again (well aside from blue s/s romances).
OT: Anyone Pianists or Guitar players out there that know of good hand exercise tools and sites to get them. Back to google.

People leaking spoilers probably did quick playthroughs to get as much info in the shortest amount of time possible. I wouldn't be surprised if players going slowly, building as much Galactic Readiness as possible before the final mission, are able to unlock better endings than were available to those playing early copies.
Unfortunately it appears not. The person relaying the information actually pulled the game apart with extraction tools to see if this was the case.
I want just as much as anyone else to believe this is trolling/misunderstanding of info, but it just doesn't look likely at this point.

I would think so too, if it weren't for the fact that everything he's said matches up perfectly with other sources from the past. And we know for a fact that he has a copy of the game.
I would really love to be surprised on this one (I will be elated, in fact), but I'm not particularly optimistic.

It ruins everything that makes Mass Effect good, choice and consequence. Leading us up to the dramatic cnclusion only to stomp on our choices and hopes last second is just...
It dosen't even really matter how good the actual game is. They spend all of this effort drawing a conclusion to the epic story, adding s/s LI's (finally), only to give you no ending in which the s/s LI's actually matter anyway. They get thrown away along with everything else from the last two games.
It really is the absolute worst thing that could have happened. Multiplayer, Origin, I'd take all of my complaints about those back if only they'd have included a decent ending. As over-dramatic as it may sound this has basically ruined the series for me

I think it's too early to feel this deeply. Now AFTER launch, if this is confirmed, I'll be right there with you, but until then, don't lose hope!

Ugh. Things are depressing enough for me at the moment in real life without unnecesarry misery being forced into Mass Effect as well <_< I honestly can't see the point of playing the game or enjoying the series as a whole any more, becuase whatever you do in any of the games, no matter what choices you pick or how much galactic readiness you gather, you are shoehorned into the same depressing endings no matter what.

Gosh, that must have been quite some spoiler! Now I'm almost tempted to look for it myself, though I pretty much get the gist of it.

(Still using the spoiler text if it even matters anymore)
I just realized what is probably my main beef with them (if it's all true etc.) - it seems as though they've deliberately written it in a way that I can't even satisfactorily head-canon the endings better. Open, hopeful endings are my favorite type actually, I wish we'd gotten that. But they seem adamant in denying us any real hope, and that I hate. It just feels like trolling on Bioware's part, especially since the considerably lighter prequels.
Aaand now I will really go sleep and drop this.

Pretty much what you said. I was told I have cancer a couple of months ago, so I'm already rather down irl. No need to add ME3 to the list, but whatever...EJ107 wrote...

"Yes, of course, some of them can be romanced, but where’s the fun in knowing that ahead of time? I honestly think you’ll enjoy each of the characters more by not knowing."
Ha, no.
I'm almost getting the feeling they don't want to confirm them and freak out people.

All I saw was a shadow, unless I was looking in the wrong place.
More liara related rage....why does she get the nice room? That's Kaidan's room you silly non-alliance personel, get out and go live in the trash chute with Diana.
