LOL I love this:

I saw this at lunch and laughed way too hard..  My coworkers were like "...awkwarddd"

The Final Hours was NOT produced or released by Bioware. It is not a statemement from them on the issue in any shape or form.

The information dates to several months before the release.

That's assuming Shep is on Earth....

And in most Indoc. theories I've read, Shep is still on Earth. She/He never left.

Yay! Home from work. But I gotta tell you guys, I'm getting a little tired of holding the line. I think I need a morale boost.


Here's some red sand, an emergency induction port, and a little med gel. That should keep you awake for awhile. 


:lol:



Tonight just got a whole lot more interesting! :o

wow, saw another thread where insults were flying around, users were banned.
Seeing this thread, I am still amazed as this stays a place of politeness and civil manner.



:D  Just because we're holding the line; doesn't mean we can't be respectful....;)  There were shots fired earlier that rattled a few but we've Rallied - HOLD THE LINE

var fctb_tool=null;
function FCTB_Init_fcd9051b89fe48f08602e5562246bfbf(t)
{
fctb_tool=t;
start(fctb_tool);
}

Welll, I dont believe its this dramatic but a great man once said
"When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite"
That was Winston Churchill that said that BTW..


Oh, just remember to follow the rules put in place just before the release. Batten down the hatches matety, close the storm shutters, a blow is a coming, Wheeeew. lol

Say your piece but just be kind so you can rewind.

Kind of off topic. But the one thing I have heard a bit about, is the fact that everyone thinks they will be doing a "Retake Omega" DLC. Only problem I see with that is where is the benefit? Retaking Omega doesn't really contribute much to the whole "gathering war assets" vibe. Which all the DLC's would have to be based around really if you think about it. Why would you A) Take back Omega if it has no tangible benefit and B) If it does have a benefit, or any DLC for that matter, why do it if there is no tangible benefit to the final outcome?

Haha god this place really is like a support group of some sort. When I hit those horrible endings, I hopped online to see if I just didn't get it and people were saying the endings were deep masterpieces but thankfully no. It feels surprisingly good to know that I'm not alone in my feeling horrible over this ending.

As for what it is we want, though many see things in different ways I think we all agree that the ending should just be reexamined by Bioware. At the very least I think we want to discourage future games from taking such a terrible approach towards ending not just a game but a whole series. People to this day complain about Halo 2s ending but at least there people knew there would be a freaked sequel. In this case this is it. This is the end of.Commander Shepard and probably the crew. Hell it might be the end of all Mass Effect games. And THAT was how they sent us off!? With a vague last minute space-god-child-AI Deus ex machinations thing?! With an uncertain end for the whole crew and zero closure? A terrible idea.

Personally I think the best ending would have been something similar to Dragon Age Original. DRAGON AGE ORIGINS SPOILER WARNING At the end of DA you are given an actual choice at the end. You could be noble and sacrifice your life or you could allow your warden companion sacrifice himself. Finally you could let Morrigan have her way with you and nobody was sacrificed, though you have to question her motives and whether the world would later regret your decision. Three clear choices, not just whether you prefer your space magic in cinnamon, mint or blue berry blast flavor. Sacrificing yourself actually meant something when it was an actual choice. In the end of ME3 there wasn't a choice in that so its made pointless. Players who wanted a darker ending in DAO could sacrifice themselves and the end would be their own funeral, watching the friends you made and possible love interest in attendance while you're given a heartfelt eulogy. Those who wanted a happier ending (for their characters personally) could survive. They'd be given further closure and choice by ending the game where they can go through and talk to their friends, often being asked what they plan on doing next whether it be settle or keep fighting or whatever. Finally it all ended with a slide show explaining how some of your actions played out after your story was done. It was IMHO the perfect ending that offered most players what they wanted and a whole lot of closure. You certainly didn't have a huge uproar over the ending like you have here. How many of us would feel much happier today if that were the kind of ending we got?

Wait a second,

I'll reiterate the point. The Final Hours was NOT made by Bioware, NOR does Bioware get money from it. It was a documentary effort by an interested person, nothing more and is a bit dated.

Glad to have you ^_^

I've thought about that too. I mean, all the mercenary groups (pretty much all the assets you could get from Omega) are already available in the game anyways...

I'd be perfectly happy with none of that mess on the Citadel happening.

I don't know how it would work, but it was entering the Citadel that everything seemed to go vague and full of holes.

Anyway, I'm signing off for the night.

Hold the line!
