Okay, I started writing out a reply to your message, but realized after I had written half of it that no one wanted to read a memoir of my Bioware experience  So I'll condense my post to: I agree completely with just about everything you said here.

I think you should.. well maybe not in this thread I guess... wouldn't want to derail you girls from our favorite Major 

-snip-

What Priisus said.  I have taken to writing things down as they come to me, I post either the entire thing or a link to it on my blog over in the Retake thread.  It's helped a lot to actually narrow down what I'm feeling and why I'm feeling it.

Typed for an hour, total word count: 1,500  Wow, that did feel good to get off my chest. Posted it here, if anyone's interested (pretty much a reply to Priisus that turned into a memoir/diary, haha).

Awesome read.  You can find my statements over on My Fantasy Worlds along with some fan fics as well.  However, lately most of my posting has been about ME 3 and Bioware.  Right now I'm working on what promises to be a very long write up about the things that have upset me so far with this entire incident.

Just read your first post, and I definitely agree with your confusion. Like I mentioned, I highly suspect something undesirable for BW and for us was going on behind the curtains that resulted in the endings being what they are. Very mystifying, this whole situation... Bookmarking your site for when you post more, by the way!

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words and the bookmark  hopefully you won't regret it

EDIT: ToP Kaidan (and Vega)!
*snip*

I just finished the endings, and I'm headcanoning is that Shepard either died in Harby's beam or in that subtextful scene where he collapses on the platform and ascends into a white light (so I guess that means that my Shepard dreams that Kaidan joined him in the symbolic garden paradise world?).
I guess I can see how the devs might've groupthink'd that the endings would be good, but still, ugh.

I wonder if the boy from the post-credits cutscene has the same VA as the earth/nightmare/Guardian boy.

I think they found that the models were different, or that the boy at the end didn't even actually have a model in-game. Something like that.

I still kind of want to wash/dry clothes on those two's (those two being Vega and Kaidan) abs.

EDIT: I can't type today for cheddar cheese.

Edit: Regarding the boy and grandfather at the end, I remember reading on Twitter that the Gibbed editor guy dug up a description on the scene labeling the people as "Humanoid/Asari like figures", and it took place 10,000 years in the future. Not entirely sure on the accuracy, but that guy sure knows how to pull info from files like it's nobody's business!

Okay, I read it all

I'm feeling a little less alone in this world

You're never alone in your opinion  And you've got dedication for reading all of that!

-snip-

So about the ending... well I must say I feel compeled to believe in the Indoctrination Theory. I heard it has been said on Twiter that it was wrong but I don't know... Even if I couldn't name what, there were some things that felt so wrong in the end... no need to mention Kaidan mysteriously teleported from the final assault in London at my side to the Normandy with Joker... but, well, this is not the point.

So whatever the end is, this one or a new one... I feel like I will always feel bitter about it. Even if tomorrow, I'm asked "Which end would you want ? We will write it for you", I would'nt be happy either.
For the past four years, I have been waiting, knowing there would be more. And now... well, it may sound strange, but I feel like loosing someone really close. You know it's over, but you just can't realise it, you don't want to.
What I hate and what hurts like hell is that well... it is the end.
So yeah, I want DLC because it would be an excuse to replay ME again 
But the more I think of it, the more I fear a "new ending" or "post Citadel-and-God-Child". After all, if I believe that there's more to the ending with this Indoctrination thing, it is because it allows me to think the story is still open. I could even put my imagination at it.
But if they release some DLC with closure and all... I don't know... it would mean this is really over 

Errr okay so now I feel sad and I am not even sure someone may be able to understand my babbling <_<


Maybe quoting Aveline in DA2 will help ? "When someone tells you to turn the page, you say "my choice"".

That is how I feel. I don't want to close the book right now.

That doesn't sound weird in the least bit, I know exactly the feeling. It's like your long time best friend is moving to a different country - Sure, you can write each other from time to time, but it's still pretty much a forever goodbye. I had prepared myself for this prior to playing, though, as to not be too upset. No matter what happens, the fact that this is the end will always be bittersweet, but as of right now it's just bitter.
That's why I want a playable Epilogue, like Awakening. Will it happen? Only time will tell. I don't want "closure" to our current endings, that would only make them all the more real... And I don't want to- No, I can't, I refuse, to believe that what we have right now is the last we'll ever see of Shepard and crew. It's not over yet, not like this!

Mass Effect isn't a game. It isn't a lore. It isn't a fictional universe. It's a part of me, and a part of every single fan out there. We have different ways of showing our grief, our despair, but in the end, it all comes down to one thing: Our love for the series. 

 

I don't know why I'm still writing non senses after you phrased it so perfectly 

(yeah and sorry for my awful english again, I hope I'm not too much of a pain in the neck to understand )

 Thanks for reading and responding, it's always nice to hear that someone else knows what you're going through (there are a lot of us, I'm sure! Now where's the therapy group?) And your English is great!

Woah, Goth Shepard.  I had one like that.  Called her Kabuki Shepard.  Black hair/make-up, pale face.

[madlily]

so it just occured to me, that msg that people have been saying they get at the start of their game from Kaidan, the one saying that they will try to get down to see you if they get permission...He's talking about visiting you in your cell... its got nothing to do with end game etc... arent I smart

[Priisus]

@lady: Edit: love your post especially the last paragraph! Sums up what the majority feel! Also guess I'm not the only one who played ME after DA;O... I just prefer fantasy games... never really had a thing for sci-fi before.

@madlily: i'm confused at that message. For some reason i got it when i finished my 1st playthrough (canonShep) but i started a ng+ afterwards so i was confused. I already started importing all my other 3 Sheps (two has Kaidan alive) but i never get that message anymore. Also got none from Ash regarding the visit, not sure whrn you actually get that message.

Kaidan or Vega

[Jenova65]

Oh and hey there

I've not been around because for a long time I was avoiding spoilers and they were everywhere.... I completed the game about 8 days after starting it... (for some reason I was dragging it out..)

But anyway, it's nice to see this place still busy

it shows up at the very start of a new game... I restarted a playthru and it popped up...so I'm taking it to mean that he was going to come and see me and was waiting on permission to get access to my cell

In short, my question would be: Is there any interest in contributing to such a project? Would you be willing to send me screencaps en masse that I could then use for the wallpaper?

I am playing ME 1 again and taking some screencaps, wouldn't mind send them to you.

Nice idea there, been using
some of my ME3 screenshots as a desktop background and would love
something like this but I don't have the artistic talent to make
anything myself. Would be happy to send you some, although alot of my
ME3 ones have the subtitles on, hmm excuse to play through my Kaidan
romance again for more nice pictures I think! Don't have any from ME1
but I do have a save before every Kaidan conversation on the Normandy so
can easily take some

Thank you both! Your screencaps would be very welcome <3
I particularly need all the romance scenes. ME1 love scene / almost kiss, ME 2 Horizon hug, ME3... well, about everything, really? And apart from the specific love scenes, every scene that holds a meaning for you and your perception of their relationship. I'll work a lot with quotes, so every 'quotable' scene from Kaidan's first slip in ME1 to "You're real enough for me" and such will be much, much appreciated. 
It's really great to see all those different Shepards, and it'll be a lot of fun working with all the screencaps!

Kaidan or Vega

Voted :happy: I really like Vega, but he's got nothing on Kaidan!
I do, however, have a single Shepard I made especially for a Vega (or Joker)  romance. That was back then, when everyone was so sure he would be a possibility. Now she can't even get it on with Kaidan instead, because I left him on Virmire That was, by the way, the hardest decision I ever made and I had to get away from the screen and mute the audio. It was easier on my one MShep run, because Ash was his LI. Though I still couldn't watch the scene, I just can't see Kaidan die. But, sadly, I also can't romance anyone else if Kaidan is alive, it's just physically not possible for me :/ So, he had to sacrifice himself in order to ensure a Vega (or Joker) romance. Obviously, all the pain and sacrifice was totally worth it! -.-

Not yet but I plan to after the love scene with Kaidan. Canon-wise, it will show Shepard's total commitment to his relationship with Kaidan, endings be dammed!

You know, I kinda wish there wasn't a renegade interrupt to shoot Udina, or at least a shorter frame of time to hit the interrupt. Kaidan is the one who shouts "he's got a gun" so one would think that he'd react first. It just seems like an important character moment.
Or maybe I'm just griping because I instinctively took the shot and stole that moment from Kaidan

I took the shot too, because I had been waiting for 2 games to shoot Udina. That was one of my favorite moments in the game. I wish I had let Kaidan shoot him the first time, but I let him in my second playthrough, so it's ok. 

Mmhmm.  that's why I did it too.

I plan to take the shot this time in my Paragade play thru... as he dies i imagine him shouting " THIS IS AN OUTRAGE "

My Paragon Shep lets Kaidan take the shot. More or less as sign she trusts him.
My Renagon "cheater" Shep [ who is currently at Horizon] will proberly take the shot. because it's instect for her: someone holding gun at some = shoot them
