Ok. So after reading the article, my ideas on the ending have become more concrete. I really think Bioware has more to this ending.


The finale hours of Mass Effect 3 thing makes it seem otherwise.


Ignore that app, it isn't official; Bioware has at least confirmed this fact.

The app isn't but the info on it is official :


All that stuff is over 6+ months old........second it also brillantly feeds into the fact - we've been indoctrinated.

I personally didn't mind the picture of tali. Before i found out it was stock photo, it seemed to fit nicely. A small. not very detailed, but revealing picture. Leaves a small amount of mystery cause obviously we havent seen her unmasked in the actuall game, but reveals just a little bit. I wouldn't expect the details to be perfect - until i see her without the suit in-game.

I was right there with you. I was satisfied ... until I found out just how much work went into it. I still go back and forth as to whether that should ruin it for me or not. I suppose not, because I still hold on to my original reaction - I was pleased.

Of course, when the ending hit, I had far bigger problems anyway..

Ending = far bigger problem. Agree.
As for the picture, my view is this - It was already put into the game so there is no way to "unsee" it. I accepted it as a gift from tali, she left it in my room. Sure the concern of how much thought was put into it can be discomforting, but nothing can change it now. The in-game tali gave me that picture, so that's what she looks like.

Let's keep this on topic people. As much as we all like Tali, let's steer this back in the right direction.

The Liara image in ME2 is basically a stock screen capture of Liara (that is, incidentally, used in multiple codex entries). That said, at least it was of her actual character model rather than a (badly) photoshopped stock image. I could make a better photoshopping in about five minutes using filters and the smudge tool.

But we have bigger fish to fry.

I'm honestly amazed and so proud of my community that donated so much money for a good cause. I wish I could donate more, maybe I can return my stupid prothean DLC and have Bioware donate the extra 10 dollars to something useful :P I knows snarky ... I'm sorry but I can't help it. In all seriousness I'm very happy we are donating so much money to children in need.


Agreed.

We can only donate as we're able to afford to; no-one is lesser or greater.

It's nice to see that some people thought well enough to make those massive donations, but everyone's donation counts.

I'm curious to know the actual percentage of fans who feel as we do. It's gotta be something like 75% of all ME3 players at this point.

I think i saw somewhere that mass effect 3 sold a little under a million copies on release day. so 40k votes on the poll and 23k "likes" on facebook is quite a bit in my opinion


Likely... much, much, higher because a lot of long time fans have not completed the game and are avoiding spoilers. I'm sitting here with two on team speak as i type this. Sometimes a question comes up about the game in a general way and I sit here biting my arm off. They know I've finished the game 5 days ago. Actually, I finished all three possible endings which are for all intents and purposes, the same nonsence. In retrospect, how dumb of me as I could have search around and found that out.

Seems to me the backlash has just begun.

How they look at votes is - for every vote........there is 10 people that don't vote........so 40k x 10 = 400,000

that's 40% = that's a lot bigger number.......other I think was like 2k or .2%  as times goes on; if the numbers don't change but sell more - the number mulitplay chances.........

I don't remember the exact formula but it goes along those lines.   They know at least 70%+ of people that have bought the game hate the ending.......I think the theory of; we've been indoctrinated is starting to sound more and more plausable.


The massive amounts of people hating the ending doesn't tell me that we're being duped, it tells me that bioware's writing department seriously didn't understand their fanbase while writing the ending.

You two should just adopt a baby Krogan that would end up running around poking holes in the Quarians suits well laughing Wrex's deep 'hurr, hurr' laugh.


According to Grunt, Quarians are harder to kill than Humans, Asari and Turians. :P

I may prefer the alternate, adoption of another quaria or human child. It was suggested earlier


The pregnancy couldn't work, due to levo and dextro proteins. We're lucky enough that she didn't die from allergic reaction to kissing Shep. and sort of offspring, even if it was viable which, given cross species breeding is unlikely, would most likely be toxic to her.


Hell, what am I saying, surely the red sparkly whizz would fix all that.

SPACE MAGIC FIXES EVERYTHING :wizard:

check out the chart on  retakeme3.priv.nu
theres a big upward line - suggests a large amount was donated at one time

 

Ooh, nice page.Bookmarked. Will be interesting to see what happens to the curve when we get to friday/saturday/sunday evening.

Has everyone here heard of the letter writing campaign? RetakeME3 says to send your letters, email or snail mail, to Bioware on the 17th! If we all send our letter at once the sheer amount of them should make a nice impact~

Even Admiral Xen and I have a friendship of sorts. Pity Kal'Reegar wouldn't be there.

I was going to adopt a little Quarian war orphan with Tali.....ok, now I'm getting soppy.

So much tali love... the ending cutscene should include a wedding too lol.
no, seriously. that would be great


Wouldn't mind. But of course they'd have to actually do a bit more with tali. Such as the unveling. I mean the photo they give you is good, and works well, but I think Tali deserves better than a midly doctored stock photo from getty images. I mean...they didn't even get the fingers right, they just cut two off a normal hand and be done with it.

Grrrrrr. Justice for Tali! Screw the galaxy, I don't care!

i had an idea they should of had her be in the flashbacks without her mask on, that way we'd see the model in addition to the picture


Or someone will get the bright idea that they should use the Kinect so EVERYONE can be Tali, take a picture of your face.. put it on hers! *shudders*


You realise that that someone was you, just now, right?

At this point, I'm over it. I really am.
Every jerk out there calling us "entitled whiners", lack of response from BW, the general lack of caring from BW and EA.
Lying to your fanbase and acting like you are the best thing since sliced bread is not a good way to keep people happy.
I'm so happy that Child's Play has gotten some good out of this all, but I just don't care about it anymore. BW and EA are not getting anything more money from me.
It's that simple.



Agreed.  I was all for holding the line, but the complete lack of response from the company to whom I gave my hard earned cash is completely unacceptable.  I save my money for other games, I read some Mass Effect fic for catharsis, and then I go play some Skyrim.  Life goes on.

Yes, someone made a $10000 donation when it was around $13000 total.
Suddenly it became $23000.


Regardless of that, there have been ~2200 donators and 50.5k USD donated. That's about 23 USD per person. The 10000 donation only lowers that average to 18 USD per person which is still nothing to be sniffed at. Not everyone can afford it but people are giving which is all that matters.


OMG, I'm so PROUD of us! I couldnt ever imagine the proportion of what we are doing. And Im so happy of being a part of this!

I wonder if BioWare realized they committed suicide with those endings.


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.


LEAVE ME ALONE I'M MAKING ART *tosses more beer cans at the TV in rage from finishing Mass Effect 3*


Damien Hirst cut a sheep in half, stuck both halves in formaldehyde and glass tanks and had people walk through it. Tracey Emin brought in a bed with used codoms and tampons in which she had slept in for about 5 days straight. Both of these were hailed as triumphs and were deferentially referred to as "Art"

Do you see where I'm going with this....


The problem is they didn't ask us for money so we could sleep in that bed, did they?
