It's worth it though. The whole trilogy is something special, I'm definitely gonna miss it. 

... I'm not sure I'll play ME4 (or whatever they plan to call it), I guess it depends what type of game it'll be (RPG, MMO, etc), who the team will be and what the likelyhood is that they'll kill off the main protagonist with a weird ending in the final game lol.

That's one good thing about the Dragon Age games, it's a different protagonist every time so it could go on for years lol. Mind you, I remember being kinda sad when I finished DA:O because I enjoyed the story and characters so much. Hell, I've even become very attached to my canon male mage Hawke, whilst I was playing through Mark of the Assassin the other day it really hit home how much fun he is! 

I hope DA3 throws enough light hearted moments and "down time" between quests to interact with the companions. I find that it's those moments that really help me to form attachments to the characters and protagonist.

I really really like having a new protag every game. It's like a fresh start. Maybe my Warden was an entitled b!tch. And then my Hawke was a mage with a score to settle. I liked changing it up.

I like it too, but I also liked having Shepard for three games lol. I guess I'm good with either, except for when they do something horrible to the endings lol.

I'd say that if he's a companion then let Evil Chris set up Cullen's thread. If he isn't then we either ask him to transfer this one over the the DA3 companion/NPC part of the forum, or start a new one the minute that part of the forum is open.

My point was that we may not know if he's a companion the minute that part of the forum opens up, since they may not have announced all the companions yet.

Don't they usually make all the companion/LI threads the minute the romance/npc part of the forum opens up? I thought they done it the day everyone gets announced? 

My understanding was that they didn't announce all the companions at the same time. I thought I heard that it was staggered with some teasing. But, I wasn't around. Also, it looks like Chris created the Fenris thread, but all (wow! all! I didn't realize) the other companion threads were created by fans.

That is a nice aspect to having new characters each time, that it can continue longer. It is sorta hard to readjust to a new protagonist, tho. Kinda like how in some book trilogies they'll switch your POV over to a new character, like the main character's son or whatever, in order to tell the scion's tale. Sometimes it's good, sometimes... you miss the old character. I hope the Inquisitor rocks our socks off.

It did take a while for me to grow attached to Hawke, but I think that's because I started out as a female and didn't like her voice. Plus, we didn't get as much chance to interact with the character, who in turn interact back giving us more of an insight into how the companions view our protagonist.

Aw man, it's all quiet in here and I'm too hyped up to sleep after playing the Citadel dlc lol.

Soooo, I guess that closes the final chapter on the Mass Effect games. From here on out DA3 will be the spotlight until after its release.

Y'know what we totally need now? Some information. I'd kill for another info leak right about now, Is it weird that after playing the ME3 dlc today, my excitement in DA3 has decreased? I need something to get me hyped up about it again.

Oh. My. God.

The Citadel dlc was the most hilarious and adorable thing I've ever played! Spot on! Absolutely perfect! And Kaidan behaved like an absolute babe the entire time. 100% amazingly squee worthy!

The only downside was that it was so good, I'm depressed that ME3 ended the way it did. *Sigh* I know my Shepard survives in the destroy ending, but it's just kinda sad that we don't see Shep reunited with the crew.

Also, Grunt is the most awesome Krogan EVER!

I am going to add on this...

It was spectacular, loved it.  However....    I cried like a baby knowing that I can't go on to finish the game... I have to use this now as Canon.  But unfortunately, even as Canon, I will also have that horrible nightmare of an ending in the back of my head that won't allow me to just forget about it.

It was THAT good that it brought back every feeling I had about the ending right back... like horrible feeling all over. Even right now I am still just seriously depressed, I know its a video game but damn, if you do that great at having people that emotionally attached to characters just to end it that way.... good lord give a warning or something because I was in disbelief when I heard the rumors, then when I finished it myself I was STILL in disbelief. "surely they didn't end it like this,  ... surely?.... Shepared was their baby for how many years...surely"  I was surprised that it actually hurt...   which is why I don't even play it anymore.

I just can't express how much I loved that series, and now I can't even bare to play it over? *sigh     great, now its going to take me another couple of months to get rid of the whole post ending blues all over again. Freaking pisses me off.

Anyone used the MEHEM? Is it really any good to use? I keep seeing everyone talk about and I read the thread but wasn't sure if it was worth using. At this rate I might actually need to get any sleep now lol

Kaidan was such a horn dog for Shepard, wasn't he! He was ridiculously adorable in that dlc though!

I get what you mean about the happy/sad feeling. The dlc has actually out shone my excitement for DA3 currently, I'm all like "ARGH IT'S AMAZING" but at the same time it makes me feel kinda depressed because of the endings. I'd be kinda sad anyway since it's the end of the trilogy, but I think the fact that it's only implied that Shepard lives (and is subsequently reunited with the crew) in the destroy ending kinda puts a downer on things. I like to leave my protagonist and companions alive, well and with their respective love interests when it comes to the end games lol.

I mean, I was kinda sad when DA:O ended because I'd gotten so attached to the companions and my protagonist, plus I was all "OMG ALISTAIR <3" lol, but the fact that I finished the game with my Warden and all the companions alive and in full friendship with her and I knew she was gonna be happy in a romance with Alistair made things feel more upbeat and positive.

Kaidan is so darn sexy

But ya, the DLC did that for me too. DA:O I got seriously attached to Alistair, his humor and light hearted banter was just fun and well I had fun with the game and the ending wasn't depressing. I mean I knew once the epilogue happened that more than likely I wouldn't get to be the warden again or something. But honestly, I felt ..... satisfied.

It didn't make me feel like I had slipped and fell into a knife.

It didn't impact the replayability of Origins

It didn't confuse me and then ask me to choose a,b or c.

It didn't leave me with....  am I alive or was that my last breath?

DA2 DIDN'T EVEN DO THAT TO ME. As much as I thought DA2 wasn't spetacular, it didn't drive a darn knife in my heart.

[LolaLei]

Demarco: As I recall, it took me about 6 months to get over the initial ME3 ending (prior to the extended cut) and then another month to get over the fact that Shepard's survival was only implied in the extended cut dlc lol. After that I decided to put all my eggs in DA3's basket and keep my fingers crossed that it'll be amazing and won't make it mandatory to kill off my protagonist lol.

The DA games (so far) drive the knife in, but not in a way that leaves you without hope for your protagonist. I just... I dunno, it's just kinda sad really lol.

I totally understand. I was in rage for like 6 weeks I think, after that I was just sorely depressed. I just now started to forget about it (still haven't ended it more than once) there is just no replayability for me anymore. Period. 
I think maybe in the future I will play them again, but then just stop at the Citadel DLC. Just leave it there, can't do that to myself again. Man that was rough. 

I like you had the original ending, which was even worse. (as you know lol)  I did everything in my power to get the best ending possible, I poured everything into it just to get the same stupid endings. I am done with ME (I know you know that) I won't be purchasing anything. The way they handled the fans was not cool, I am not saying fans should have so much say in a game. I am just saying with that overwhelming outrage, they did nothing to address it or fix it (EC ending doesn't count, it was horrible and didn't address the issues).

DA3 is it for me.... crossing my fingers.   My faith is rising in the DA team with what I have been seeing. The fact that they admitted DA2 wasn't their best was a step in the right direction. Plus they seem to truly be interested in feedback and well from the looks of it ...they are listening as well! I believe they can do really well with DA3, only time shall tell!

So my faith is slowly returning for DA, which is great.. finally! 

[Demarco09]

And honestly...... tell me this....

Can it truly be offensive if fans are outraged with your game (now hear me out)
IF your fans only have issues with the ending, believing shepard wasn't sent off in the right way. Like they had such strong feelings for this game that they made a huge fuss over it. Honestly I would be slightly flattered. Hell, they just made a game that caused players to be so emotionally invested that they begged for something better to say goodbye to Shep. I will miss him, I must say.

I was gonna do one last playthrough of all three, but after playing the Citadel dlc tonight I think I'm gonna need to leave it a while before I ever playthrough the whole thing again, which is a shame because ME3 is a remarkable game up until the ever last 5 minutes. It's such a shame.

I have faith in DA3 because it seems like they're doing things right this time around with it's development etc. I wasn't around for the DA2 thing, but I heard that the whole promotional/publicity thing also felt rushed.

I know I'm impatient with this whole waiting for DA3 news thing, but I'm glad that they are taking their time and waiting until they feel they are ready to show us more. I guess if nothing else at least it'll look pretty!

I wish there were more Citadel videos on youtube at this point


All I can find are BroShep and Liara/Tali ones everywhere >.<

[Demarco09]

@Lola Agreed. I am going to have to wait to do anything more with ME, too many emotions running all at once. I like to enjoy a game, not get sad and angry. I am an escapist

DA3 can take all the time they need. I am hearing end of 2013, but I am hoping it is pushed to 2014. As much as I would like to have it sooner or to even hear news on it, I would prefer it to be silent and then end up (hoping) having an epic game to play over and over and over and over

Origins I think I racked over 200 hours playing. Even to this day I play it over and it is still sweet sweet goodness.
