Garrus is afraid of spiders! LOL

yeah, my best buddy is playing 3 atm and i've haven't told her about the end...simply cause she asked for no spoliers and cause i don't have the heart to tell her...but she may delay it cause she's thinking of going back to ME1 and makeing some changes...

Mind blown?  Yes, yes it is O.O

holy smokes.. that was a crazy vid and made alot of sense!! 

That's because we've all been indoctrinated by Bioware, we just don't know it yet.    

OMG!! Did anyone EVER notice that where Shepard is bleeding is the same spot where he shot Anderson... why all of a sudden does she have a gapping wound there?!?!? I think that video is right! Pay attention to when Shepard is sitting next to Anderson and than all of a sudden hand is full of blood in THE SAME SPOT!!

My private theory of the day is that Shepard was caught in an explosion caused by Harby's bean and the wound she's bleeding form is rebar puncture. I am thinking there are some elements of the final scene before the gawd child that are real. For example, I think she actually does hear Admiral Hackett talking about how the Crucible isn't firing, and he does try to get through to her. But what's really going on is that they've noticed from suit telemetry that she isn't dead yet, and they want to know where she is, what's going on. That's when she mutters something about not being able to see. Makes sense if you're buried in rubble.

It would also explain how you get found if you survive.

Oh Marauder Shields...he's my hero. I'm very sad I killed him but at least he was able to stop me and kill me first (on normal  haha) the first time in that scene. I should have just stayed dead.

I wish I could play MP because I miss it  and I loved it but it just doesn't feel right for me anymore. I'm still hurting about the ending and every time I think about playing the game or MP again, I remember the ending and I want to cry. But I'm still holding the line. I'm a believer in Indoctrination. But for all of you that play, have fun and kick some ass :happy: I know I will be able to enjoy it one day (soon I hope) again unless my resolve breaks and I go play MP before any type of announcement. But I doubt it.

On a funny note. My bf is playing ME2 and he texts me saying how he hates how the citadel looks and that he can't find Dr. Michell since he's taking Garrus with him to visit her as her email asks. I told him she's not in the game it's just an email and he got so upset haha. Then he asks me where Sha'ira is and told him once again that she's not in the game and that made him even madder. Then he asks me where his Liara is and I told he will see her soon and that made him feel better but I don't think he will be happy with that encounter. Not until LofSB at least. But I told him, if you're upset about not seeing Dr. Michell, wait until the ending of ME3 lol 

Anyways, I love Kaidan <3

Eh, he can have Dr. Michel on his ship for all of ME3 if he wants her around that bad.

I'm a total supporter of the Indoc theory, and have been from the start. A) Because it makes sense given the info, Because it gives me something to hope for, and C) Because it allows me to replay and love the game instead of wallowing in depression like I was earlier this week.
Even if it was never BW's intent from the start (and I'm staring to believe they really did think we'd like the endings...) I think they should pick it up and run with it. Makes for an amazing idea IMO.

Everyone else see Casey Hudson's official response yet?

I'm glad he responded and acknowledges that feedback is important.  I don't like all this talk about needing a "bittersweet ending" though.

I couldn't agree more, after reading and looking into that theory it has made ME3 much better for me, although I would still like to know how and why the Normandy ended up somewhere strange, but I'm happy to put that aside for the moment and enjoy all the Kaidan fun there is to be had in the meantime!

Going with the theory, that was just Shepard's hallucination. Reminds me of (if I may be so dorky as to pull in a Lord of the Rings reference ) Sam at the end of Return of the King. The line says something like "Frodo heard the sound of great singing across the sea, and he beheld the white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise", but, seeing as Sam was the one who wrote the last chapter, he couldn't have known any of that. Instead, he made it up, based on what he HOPED happened to his friend. I see the same thing happening for Shep, she doesn't know what happened to her squadmates but her memory of them makes up a happy ending for them regardless.
If you follow me.

I did see that, and while it gave me hope at the same time I'm more concerned than I was before. Still, they said they're listening, and they want us to be happy, so I'm sure something will come of it. No one can deny that Bioware cares, can we? Look at all they've done for the fans in the series. They won't leave us like this, not the Bioware we know and love(d, for some of you).

[LinkSnake1016]

So how long, how many drafts, and how many people do you think worked on that "official" response? I don't think we're getting our Kaidan babies. They still want it "BITTERsweet". Also many responses aren't asking for happier endings people are asking for closure (based on twitter and BSN comments).

Afraid to burst everyone's bubble, but it's just an imperfect mesh. The lids don't meet perfectly and it's okay most of the time, especially from an upward angle, but when the angle is from slightly below it's really apparent. The lower and upper lids of Shepard's eyes don't meet perfectly, either.

The "shine" is because the sclera is shiny... and slightly mottled. (dimpled) like a golf ball.

It's possible, but I've got shots from that whole scene (my screenshot taker does it in bursts) and you don't see it often, even when eyes are closed.

And I know they've done deliberate tears for characters like Liara.  So hey, I choose to believe.  

Everyone's eyes in the game does that in low light or indirect light. The slightly dimpled surface of the eye catches shine weirdly at times.


I would be happy with a bittersweet ending or even a tragic one if it was one available option, or if any of the endings made sense. The endings we got were so vague and meaningless as to be insulting. But that's just me.

Still one of my favoritest pics on deviantart, Isaac! There's something iconic about it, by not fully seeing the faces and expressions, but feeling the closeness nonetheless.

Staging. I wish I had that talent.

Any ending we get will be bittersweet, of course, because it's the END. That being said, I want my happy ending dangit  

How about something ala Origins? We could sacrifice ourselves, sacrifice our companion (and possible LI), or live. I loved that, trying out all three endings, and I'd love to see a tragic ME ending as well (just to see reactions from squadmates and such). But BW has to know we want a happy ending, right? Why wouldn't they give us that option...?

Now that I've finished ME3, I can say that I really love the Kaidan romance and Kaidan himself. I thought it was worth the wait.

But... there is one thing that bothers me that I just can't stop seeing when I look at him. He has no eyelashes. He had them in ME1, he had them on Horizon. But in ME3 they're just gone. Did anyone else notice? Am I alone? I love Kaidan, but looking at him is a little disconcerting now!

You're not alone in that. Kaidan didn't have eyelashes in promotional content, either. Neither did Liara at first. Eyelashes are kind of a tricky inconsistent thing in the Mass Effect universe. Some characters like Allers and Miranda who are based on real people have fully rendered lashes that follow the lid contour. They curve and don't interfere with the eyelids. Everyone else kind of has a default eyelash that doesn't quite fit the mesh and clips because they're straight and don't curve away from the flesh.

I suppose I'm so used to it now that it doesn't bother me. In fact, I'd rather my femshep not have lashes instead of the constant clipping whenever she makes anything more than a neutral facial expression

Before he just had really short lashes, just enough to outline the eye really. And that was fine. But now... I miss them. Oh well, he's still awesome.

There are a couple of posts in that thread Chris started about the endings mentioning they wanted "blue babies with Liara" or "a house on Rannoch with Tali" but that thread has turned into such a giant monster it's hard to keep track.  I posted my opinion in there yesterday just so I feel like I contributed something.  I pretty much agree with everything Jeremy Jahns said and that video was mentioned in the thread quite a few times too along with that gamefront article.

I'm guessing they went through a LOT of drafts.  As hard as we are on Bioware, I admit I feel kind of bad for them.  Imagine if you put together something that you thought everyone would love and then people respond by saying you purposely let them down and they'll never trust you again.  I imagine there's some panic going on over there and they have to weigh their words carefully or else it looks like they don't care.

I just want a wide variety of endings, based on our choices.  We already lost squadmates during the game and maybe if you want to go out blazing in the stereotypical hero's sacrifice, you can do that.  Or if you want to live and not sacrifice yourself for some stupid reason, then you can do that too.  Even if everyone else in the game lives by the end I still think the game's already bittersweet.  I'm worried now that if Bioware thought they were too vague, if they do change the ending, Garrus and Kaidan or whoever ran to the beam with you will get vaporized in a cinematic cutscene and then you know for sure they are dead.

Edit: I'll be jumping on MP on XBL in a few minutes if anyone wants to join me.  (First time playing ME3 since beating the game 4 days ago!)

Hell no waited 2 games to get Kaidan as a LI for my Manshep. No way in hell am I gonna sacrifice him. Psh I am going to sacrifice the Prothean and the Robot lmao. Edi can always replicate herself . The Prothean has lived 50000 years... time to die buddy!

[LadyofRivendell]

 Being that it's the final game in the series (or, at least, Shepard's final part of the series) I expected so many different endings because it's actually possible (given there aren't any follow ups). They can still do it... Just have to have hope and be patient...
Man, I'm barely balancing the log of hope right now, trying not to fall into the pool of despair but the water level is slowly rising... Or is it the log that's sinking?

...Metaphor? Huh?
Why do I feel like the two sides of my brain are arguing right now?
Oh, yeah, because they are.

*cough*
Anyways... Stealing this from another thread.




Say, anyone in the mood for some Multi? I could use to get my mind off of the ending depression.

Even if everyone else in the game lives by the end I still think the game's already bittersweet.

Yeah. I mean, most of the known galaxy is devastated and there are countless dead and injured. The happiest ending you can possibly think of for Shepard and everyond they know is bittersweet by default.

And I, for one, see nothing inspiring or uplifting in the endings we did get. I don't care about that random child and his random grandfather and the fact they tell stories of "the Shepard."
