Judging by those documents Bioware doesn't deserve any pity.


It was outdated but i loved it. :)


Their internal documents prove beyond a doubt their bias when it comes to developing Mass Effect, it's morality, it's charactes, and decisions. For that reason they are bad game designers. (at least as far as staying true to what they advertise anyway)


How can you not be biased when it comes to morality? Just interested. How would you have handled it? PM me if it's too off-topic or something.

Just have both side have an equal amount of consequences, or make the choices so that you end up with one grey option or the other, so that each choice gives you something the other doesn't.

Why are you on a thread about bioware if you think they're bad game designers or are you simply just a troller?

I was disappointed when reading the leaked plot file that our "major decisions" mostly came out the same regardless of what you chose.

But I expected that after DA2.

It's not hard. Despite your own personal preference it is not hard to write for the other side or create content that is suited them. Rather than just writing the game to support what you yourself prefer.

It's still over a 100 days till it comes out. Changes are going to be made.

From the Internets. I don't really feel like a negative nancy, though. I will probably end up purchasing the game, but it's most definitely on afterburner due to, well, pretty much everything I've heard over the past several months.

I agree that some changes will be made, but most of ME3 is set.

There is not enough time to completely redo the plot, redesign levels, rehire the voice actors, and redo the cinematics, etc.

Regardless of the time and resources needed to make the changes, I believe that the ME3 is happy in keeping most of the story as is or it wouldn't have been included in the beta draft.

Accident or not it still a violation of trust. Like I wouldn't sue someone who hit me with a car just because it was an "accident". If anything this hurts Bioware's trust in Microsoft which makes me a happy panda since I am Sony.

I am so glad none of you people are anywhere near the controls of companies that make games that I want to play. "We should sue them" is one of the worst ideas you could possibly propose the developers take one what happens to be one of the largest delivery platforms in the history of mankind.

And also if the Russian hacker could pull this from the beta of the demo then he/somebody probably could do the same with the actual demo on its release. In other words this was bound to happen sometime either sooner or later.

Pretty likely.

I am not saying they should, I just said that I would. I also mentioned that this has most likely hurt the trust between the two companies now and it will have some sort of result later. I never sayed "We should sue them". Don't put words in my mouth thank you.

Yeah but they do have time to add or remove scenes.

Don't worry, it's not exactly common knowledge. There was a thread back when ME2 came out which contained instructions on how to access the dialogue TLK files in order to, say, translate them to your own language if it's not supported officially. It wasn't popular because, well, it's purpose was to extend the game TO the least popular.

But the means existed for a long time, that's the point. The Russian hackers' problem was that once they had extracted the info, they decided to just... post it on the net. It's just beyond me why anyone would do that.

Obviously implying that you believe it to be the better course of action. One you would recommend. But I forget I am on the Internet, where people take advantage of the lack of contextualization to take advantage of other people.

 Simple he/she wanted attention, cause a ruckus, is an ****, doesn't care, is stupid, thinks they are doing the fans a service, the list goes on and on.

That's what Bioware wants you to think, but that's almost certainly a lie.  Oh sure there may be a couple of cosmetic changes made, but the vast majority of what we say in those leaked plot-files is almost certainly the way that ME-3 is going to be (and thank you very much for taking a big steaming dump on our actual choices we made in ME1 and ME2.....our choices mattering is yet another lie apparently). 

The problem is (as alluded to above) is that with only about 100 days left to go until launch (which really means less than 60 before it goes gold), there simply isn't enough time or resouces to do any substantative changes.  In fact there will barely be enough time to do final beta-testing and bug-fixing before release (and any changes would have to be tested and bug-fixed and there simply isn't time).  Bottom line:  ME-3 is 99% done by this point.  They only thing they are doing now is cleaning it up so it looks good for the public.  At this stage any major change is almost impossible which means IMHO ME-3 is looking like another DA-2.  Nice work Bioware (not).

Because he could.  There are many people out there that get off by proving how "smart" they are or showing "how much they know" and this is no exception.

Oh geez way to jump to conclusions on sketchy details that are dated at this point.  There is nothing in the details that indicate that your choices will not matter.

Why not? I mean they are not forcing anyone to read the info. And anyone who wants the spoilers can have them. I doubt this will have any negative impact on sales. In fact, i see this as free advertising, this stuff has been all over the web and generated a lot of additional hype for ME3.

First off this is not Bioware's fault at all it is Microsoft's second the story that was leaked is "OLD and OUTDATED." Plus they already have deleted the original source/thread that started it all and all threads containing spoilers thus far they are either altering and or locking. People are being overly paranoid when there is really nothing to be paranoid about. The script doesn't include all the possibilities and variations of what could happen since some characters have the possibility of being dead before ME3 through ME2's suicide mission also this script contradicts itself in several ways depending on what you did in ME2, that is why alot of people believe this is a set of default choices and results.

my guess is that you have not read the script. Tehre are indeed more outcomes than one. there are indeed all availible ending and yes it is outdated but they wont change the general main idea that late indevelopement. they will ad and cut some stuff but the main story will be the same in the end.

I wish I could believe that, but the fact your choices don't apparently matter one damn bit is all too consistant with the drek that BW has been putting out lately, and those files are too detailed and have generated far too much legal action by Bioware (not to mention overaggressive damage control) for me to believe that those files are dated.  I think (and Game Informer does too) that those files are pretty much 90% of what we will in fact see in ME3 and that means that our choices DON"T MATTER.

yeah, i don't quite understand why anyone would want to do that either. Spend all that time searching for something just to get others angry :/

I didn't want to discuss specific spoilers as a courtesy to the other posters, but exactamundo and that's far from the only example.
