I don't get it. Does this article say something what really happened with the Normandy? Is it only a dream - the crash on this planet? Or what happened with your squad? I'm so confused o.O


No the article basically says that bioware thought, "Hey you know what a good ending is? Let's not give them any closure because then people can speculate! People love not knowing what the hell is happening right?"

Posting this again just to try keeping people calm.

Remember people: This whole thing was put together BEFORE the game was released. This is NOT an indication that our concerns can't/haven't push/pushed them towards action now that they game is out to consumers.

Also, let's make sure to not start throwing insults at Bioware. Let's continue to be civil and respectful as we have been up the entire time. If they see we're being civil then they'll be more likely to take our concerns seriously.

Guys its time to give up, the notes posted killed the dream/indoctrination theory and showed us that this was exactly the ending they planed.

I for one is going to leave this now, and I employ you all to follow me, let our silence and the end of this thread be seen as the next type of protest, lets show them that they lost there fans by delaying a response for this long.

Let´s see if we can get one thing right. I've read books, seen movies, plays, where the end didn't tell you everything. "Speculation" was there at the end. But it was a good ending nevertheless. Why? Because some great writers did it. Some fantastic writing went on paper. Some philosophy was studied, some classics were studied, and some really good writers did it.

Did the ME3 writers team thought they were good enough to try that? Even if they could achieve it with more effort, did they really look at the ending and thought: "boy, we did it. We stood on the shoulder of giants and wrote the definitive "speculative" ending".

Where was the humility??? Didn't BW had anyone with guts to say: "hey boys, thanks for trying, but this is just not good enough?". Or try something different, that didn't hurt feelings, like: "well, no. Let´s keep this idea for another time. Let's try the more routine answer".

I don't see how running away helps anything - we already bought the game, they aren't losing anything from it. We need to stand strong and show them that we mean business.

While I admit that this made me smile, it's not the way to go about what we are trying to accomplish, keep the personal attacks to a minimum please.

need to repost, especially this pic:

This picture explains SO much about the quality of the ending.


As a Gamedesigner-to-be (still studying) I can not believe this is the actual written notes that determined the ending of the game.
I am being taught by professionals from the industry as professors and everytime we have to work on a project we have to write down a clean documentation, the process of how we got to where we are, we need to present all that to the profs, go through quality control.

And a big studio is handling their biggest game released so far in this manner?

I stand by holding the line. Artistic freedom I can excuse. Poor writing of a narrative is something that I will fight.

Or as Shepard would say:

"EACH OF YOU HAS TO BE WILLING TO DIE!

ANYTHING LESS, AND WE'RE ALREADY DEAD!"

This pretty much. It looks, and no offense, but it looks like a 7 year old wrote these scribbles down or tried to draw a dinoasaur.

NO! Hold the line a bit longer! At least until we get a definitive answer.

If people want to listen to good music to calm down or achieve some emotional catharsis, here's some Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Just in case anyone needed some (I know I did)

The notes posted are meaningless. They are not backed up by bioware with any degree of force. Don't break off. If you will then who's next.

I wonder whether some of the voice actors are seeing all of this fan feedback... It musn't be fun to be associated with this game right now. Wonder if some of them could support us for a better ending...


http://robotgeek.co....making-history/

... Hell, a number of the voice actors have retweeted the charity
drive.


I'm guessing that they do know about it. I would be curious to see what ends they would support us, though I'm also wondering if they're bound by part of their contract not to speak ill of the game.


i'd assume most of those bets are off after their contract is up or the game is released worldwide....i'm sure if they want to keep working with bioware they wouldn't be inflamatory...
