Then I can assum that you were as outraged as I was that you saw Liara as a flashback instead of Tali? No offence to Liara, she's nice enough, but my heart was set on Tali from when I first met her.

I just figured the flashback was a general one for your crewmates. I was at least somewhat happy to see that Tali survived the reaper beam (cause i brought her on the final push) and landed on the random planet. At least shes alive. Now my shepard needs to get up from the rubble and find her


Hate to burst your bubble but assuming it's a planet without dextro protein food she'll starve to death pretty quick. And I'm guessing those suits aren't meant for long term protection with no replacement parts, so death by infection is the other option if she doesn't starve (in which case all non-turian/quarian crew will starve in their place).


Not to sound callous at all, but that latter option really doesn't bother me. I just wiped out all synthetic life in the galaxy and destroyed fast intragalactic travel for good. I don't particularly care if a few more die as long as I get to be with Tali at the end.

10000% agree. Am I selfish or what (altough i would want the quarians to live cause thats Talis people of course)

Anyone remember that rogue AI from the first Mass Effect? The one that you let go? Shame on you.. shame on you all, you unleashed Citadel Kid >:( (okay I did too hahahah)


Which one is that? If it's the terminal I didn't think there was an option to let it go as it always tried to blow me up....

Bit more ominous when you read it hahaha


Saying it would not die alone I assume that then it died either way. I disarmed the bomb and thought no more of it.....

How wrong I was.

so I've had this image given to me thanks to some of the people here on the fourms... http://i.imgur.com/xjXdX.jpg

and my brother and I have done some test and examine the image and can say that there is a 65% chance this image is fake, and that the so called leak that cause bioware to revolt and change everything is a false statement. I could be wrong though. but I figure I'd tell you all this, my brother and I are taking classes at full sale university and were pretty good at this kinda thing.

Everyone's doing great right now so let's continue to keep everything civil and respectful. Keep the Bioware bashing to a minimum and stay cool. All of you are doing spectacular right now, so go you!

I tend to think they really thought they were creating the first piece of "gaming art".  There are so many themes in that story, the problem is theme were created as a by product and I think that is the theme most of us ended up playing.  So they had no control of the story for a long time and didn't realize it.

Hey all, just a suggestion but let's stop posting/following/finding/sharing links to the haters. The gaming "journalist" articles especially. All it's gonna do it get us riled up and hitting them with some hate. Not to mention it gives them views/hits. Let's not give them money, they aren't saying anything we haven't heard any way.


No, I disagree; we need to see this as well.  It's actually funny to see how little thought these people have :)


I still think these sites should be posted. I for one am surprised at how biased some (if not most) of the popular sites are towards us. More so with other less popular (or not even a gamin website -look at eric in forbes) one which tell a more unbiased (even supportive) view of our campaign.

What upsets me the most, is a lot of the detractors "have not" finished the game and sill just outright label us as "entitled fanboys". 

I still think  being able to see these sites only helps our cause because
We prove them wrong by being mature and constructive in our effort.

So, quick question, what are people hoping to get anymore? Are there still people that believe some surprise ending, the "real ending", is still coming or do you guys just want a dlc at some point with an ending worthy of the game once the developers realize how ****ty the ending truly is? Just wondering, I've kind of lost faith that the ending we got isn't the real ending. Anyone still holding hope?


Personally, there's a part of me that wants a *happy* ending where my LI and I retire etc. But that's because I love happy endings and the romances in these games really grab me.

I can live without a *happy* ending though. What I *need* is a fitting, explanatory / revealing / closure ending that truly reflects the choices I made *without* having to min/max war assets to get it. One that's not full of ridiculous plot holes like: " In Mass Effect 3′s ending, the Mass Relays are destroyed in explosions
so massive that they’re depicted as being visible from a perspective
that resembles the Normandy’s Galaxy Map. Which means that Shepard has
probably killed more life forms than the Reapers could on their best
cycle."

I truly believe that the choices I made during the game should have resulted in a satisfying ending. Even if Shepard dies, an ending that shows my sacrifices through all 3 games were worth it would satisfy me.




This sums up how I feel to the letter.

As much as it would be a dream come true to have the happily-ever-after ending for my Shep and her LI, I had slowly accepted over the course of the game that it was highly likely my Shep would sacrifice herself to save the galaxy. This option wasn't even present, though. It couldn't be present since every option destroys the Mass Relays which would, as we saw in Arrival, destroy countless planets. My Shepard would not have done this. So why was I forced into it?

The normandy surely has some food supplies, theyve been in space for long periods before so they will be good for a little while. Enough time for me to recover from my injuries and save her after i find her!

Without mass relays? On a random uninhabited planet? And lets not forget the Normandy and the rest of the fleet wouldn't of had any major supplies with them for the big fight, it was a make it or break it assault they signed on for, not a siege.

EDIT: and now I feel like a d*ck....


Excuse me? You're forgetting that I managed to fall to earth from orbit and surive the explosion of red sparkly whizz. How on earth can you think that I can't teleport to the Normandy like everyone else did. Plus I gave her morrigans ring.... ¬_¬

I never believed that was the case, PR nightmare waiting to happen, and say what you will about the ending but Bioware's PR department isn't stupid. I'll hold the line until they tell me that there will be no ending DLC and that I should suck it up.


And that's when Bioware will lose most of its loyal fanbase (people like me..I mean, I don't think I'll be able to play any other ME related games and DA...well...unless it has Alistair, I'm not playing:P)


I have to argee with you on the Alistair bit, won't play any other DA games unless he's in it... As for the ME series, I'm on the fence about them right now... I won't make a decision until we get some offcial word... which could be any day now, or  weeks from now.... :crying:

WAIT?! It's not a bug? :o Wow...I...I thought it was.....I just DON'T understand that! <_< And I never will because I doubt they will explain that.

yea its not a bug, if you have a ME 2 LI such as tali it will be liara in the flashback, if you have any of the other ME 1 as LI  they are in the flashback(kaidan/ashley)


Liara is my canon Shep's ex-girlfriend and BFF so I was okay with that and I blew it off as a bug and figured they would fix it....but apparently not. I still can't believe it. They completely ignore your current LI. I would've rather seen Garrus especially considering their last discussion for god's sake. PLUS some people hate Liara and/or the VS so why force that upon players? So stupid. It just makes no sense.

yea i understand, i thought it was a bug too, and yea i considered garrus more of a BFF over liara so i wouldnt have minded him instead of her, though i still wish they'd have shown tali, i figured thats who my shep would be thinking about in his last moments seeing as she was my LI

It's not just hope.  This is truly an awakening for people.  For too long gamers have been looked down upon by the industry.  I know because I worked many years in it.  Gamers are consumer too, not just the stereotypes that have been casted upon us.  This shouldn't just be about Mass Effect/EA/Bioware.  It should be an awakening to all gamers to be consumers and tell the industry they don't control us.  To put it more eloquently, "You exist because we allow it."  Bioware has made an incredible, memorable, and thrilling game trillogy of which we all love or else we wouldn't be here right now.  However, as any other business, consumers MUST voice their opinions AND follow up with their actions by not providing that company any more money until such a time in which the consumer is provided satisfactory results.  

Sorry to be so preachy there.  Just want gamers to get the respect any other consumer would in any other market.  It can only happen if we don't allow them to control us.  That's why I choose red beam of death instead of blue :P


I chose blue cause it's my favorite color .... oh noes! Image IPB

I know what you're saying and that's actually what I'm hoping for at this point in time. I don't really even care about a dlc anymore (unless one was made all along) what I want is for Bioware and the gaming industry to begin taking us more seriously and for US as a community to stand up to bull**** and penalize them for it. I want them to realise we expect something out of the product we buy and if they deliver bull**** we will voice an opinion and if nothing is done we will take our business elsewhere.

Just a quick question:

Am i supposed to, at some point, meet with Thane during my playthrough?
I'm asking, because, so far i haven't found him anywhere, and i've already finished the Thessia mission ?_?

Such a fast thread someone's probably already answered this, but you should have gotten an email from him pretty early on asking you to meet him at the hospital on the Citadel. If you wait too long, you lose the opportunity.


Yeah it's already answered :)
I've checked the inbox, and there is no email there.

But i guess it's for the best, 3 deaths are more than enough for me to deal with.

We were selfish in our choice to destroy what we helped create - EDI, Jokers Romance, The Geth. We did that because we saw a chance of living with our love. If you had no love then why would you care. The love we felt was worth the burden we knew we would have to live with for the rest of our lives.

Anyway, I've always felt a connection with the Quarians....
