If the choices really had consequences, you better believe that the same people who craved for them would come back to complain about how they're too severe or that they're not what they wanted because it's so unfair.

Just like they did with ME2.

Since everyone's complaining about spoilers, I'll give this lesson again. To properly post spoilers, put them in like this: {color=rgb(50, 50, 50)}spoilers here{/color} only with square brackets instead of curly ones. That way nobody can see them who doesn't want to, and everybody is happy.

Example below:

Shepard kills Dumbledore.

People have already done that. Haven't you read the "Why don't we get replacements for dead squadmates?" threads?

This thread is marked as Spoiler thread. So everyone who reads OP does it on his/her own risk. Nothing we should worry about.

Yeah, ME2 had so much consequences.

I think the mods don't like that either.

Yes: the spoilers in the article. That not the same as a spoiler free-for-all.  For instance, I really, really don't want to see a damn thing about the endings.  They aren't relevant to the topic, which is the content of the article.

The mods don't like a lot of things. The point is that if you are going to post a spoiler anyway, you should do it that way instead of out in the open for everyone to see.

Oh right. I assumed that BSN had half a brain and didn't fall for all the overhyped promotions and advertising.

Which have been so reliable in the past. Especially that one ME1 trailer that said there will be tough choices, even though nothing of that trailer made it into the game.

My bad.

We get it, you don't like us. Now will you post anything that's a valid argument?

Hmm. Yeah, avoiding spoilers is actually not too hard. Just avoid *spoiler* name in threads.

If there are surprise spoilers - just stop reading and go back to previous page. Don't keep reading the spoiler. I figure, if I read a spoiler, I won't pay much attention. If I don't pay much attention, I'll probably forget what it is when the game is released.

That's not entirely true: Shep, Garrus and Ash were in it.  And there was a place called Noveria. And you did have a Mako (but the landing cutscene was nowhere near as cool).

British video game magazine called GameMaster also had exlusive preview of Mass Effect 3 in their latest issue. Basically nothing more than in GameInformer (they only saw Earth & Mars part of singleplayer), but there is some new interesting things. Enjoy B):


"(...) James Vega. We're told his personality is based on Sawyer from the Lost."

"A new reputation system rewards those players who'd rather not conform solely to Paragon or Renegade Shepard. Now playing it straight - sympathising with some people and snapping at others - will also grant you some unique dialogue options. Importing old saves will mean you start with extra reputation as well..."

"Fed up of your dying when you're off gallivating around space? Well fret no longer: somewhere in the world is... [drumroll] an automated fish-feeder! It's like our prayers have been answered."

"(...) as you play ME3 you'll collect 'War Assets'. These are the people, places and armies you befriend along the way, and each one has a numerical value associated with. Asari Justicar Samara might be worth, say, +25, while a squad of soldiers is worth +65 to your asset total. Add them all up and you have your 'Total Military Strenght' value, which is then multiplied by your 'Readiness Rating'. We're told all the external experiences - the co-op multiplayer mode and the social games - feed into this Readiness Rating to let you win with fewer assets. Plug in the numbers and out pops your 'Effective Military Strenght' value - a total figure that seems to let you trigger the endgame once you hit a threshold. In a interesting twist, not every 'good' choice is going to bum your Assets."

I'm using that video whenever the next wave of character-bashing hits.

Right back at you. I'd like to see anything coming from you that isn't the typical Renegade/Cerberus buttslave whining.

I think this is probably the most exciting thing I've heard in awhile. No more being forced to one side! Play the game like you want! :D

I still don't really understand the assets thing. I think its more of a system that's easier to understand when playing the game.

Thanks for this. I hadn't heard about the reputation system. Sounds interesting. :wizard:

And fish feeder = WIN! :o

Sweet. About time we got a food dispenser for the fishes.

And the assets are just what I thought they were. Glorified credits.

The first image in the article shows Shep and Liara behind cover, and Shep's wielding the Widow, while Liara has a Revenant.  Weird seeing her with that kind of weapon.

Liara.... wielding a Revenant.... something about that phrase just makes my brain go numb. :pinched:

(although hopefully it means in ME3 that you can assign your squadmate/s whatever two weapons that you want them to have)

Right back at you. I'd like to see anything coming from you that isn't the typical Renegade/Cerberus buttslave whining.


Everything I say is "whining" to you due to you being incapable of understanding anything from another person's point of view due to your ignorance, you don't care about choices and only care about characters? That's fine, though be aware that not everybody thinks like you. Your strawman arguments to support your position doesn't help, either.

Whenever I post anything that shows I'm worried about the state of the plot, you / Arcian or the others which fit in your general niche come along and go "lol your idiots stop whining". Therefore, I question the validity of your arguments and whether or not you're just letting your pathetic grudge against me (and the other renegades) cloud your judgement whenever dealing with us, seeing what you wish to see.

If you'd like for me to post anything which responds to your points logically, don't post senseless drivel which quite clearly shows you're not interested in an argument. Calling people idiots, going into threads and saying "INB4RENEGADEWHINERS" and saying you don't care about what we care about isn't going to get us to suddenly view you as the paragon of logic.

I'm upset with ME3, I share my opinion on the forum. You don't like my opinion? Fine, deal with it. Just don't cry about it everywhere.

Peace, as we're taking this far off-topic.

I don't see why people are complaining.

I mean, there is an "pro Cerberus" ending that favours Cerberus. The choices and consequences matters. Not like, for example, if you didn't save the Rachni Queen the Salarians won't survive. I mean, did people actually think that they would matter that much? That it would consequence the whole game? I mean there are consequences that matter rather than an email from the Queen saying "Thank you for saving us".

People should relax, and people who haven't read the leak shouldn't worry at all. If your expectations aren't high like some other people.<_<
