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.

@Crayonsun: Pretty much how I feel, though might be because I had just come back from Physiotherapy today finding out I've made less progress then I had thought. But in the same way that's exactly why I'd rather have a little bit more immediate hope (a la Hawke/Anders fleeing together (hardly all sunshine and dandelions but still)).

@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.

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.

That seems a bit too convenient.  I suspect trolling on a massive scale.

Well it looks like it is a good thing that I did not read ALL the pages I missed so I still have no idea what the ending spoilers are. I do not mind finding out who is s/s or not but ending spoilers I will take a pass on. Goodbye until I beat the game at least once.

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.

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. 

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 :unsure:

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!

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.

@EJ107 - Pretty much.

(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. :P

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...
I was so excited I could finally romance Kaidan, now I don't know if we are gonna be able anymore (I hope so), but there's the endings thing going on as well so...meh

Cortez' back is in this new video: youtu.be/nKK_8mCwglY You can indeed see that his skin is rather dark, probably similar to Samantha's. Looks a  bit darker than in the demo, but Normandy's lighting plays a role here too. Me likes :D

Mac Walters has a new blog post up about ME3's characters and story:

"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.

So I haven't looked at what the ending spoilers are but if the gist of it is that none of your choices really had an impact on the end, then no thank you, I'll just go get depressed in DA2 again *shudders*

If Bioware pulls the kill everyone for dramatic effect again then I'll be done with them.

I don't know why I think of Samanta and Cortez as siblings, always. They name one, and my first thought is, "Oh right the sister/brother of ..."

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.

So from what I read, there were some spoilers about the ending of the game or something like that. Some sort of spoiler that seems to be making a few people a little angry. I, not wanting to spoil it, would just like to know if it will effect the possible relationship with my mshep and Kaidan... If that's possible. <:D
