 Okay, THIS one needs attention. What is she trying to say? That the Normandy crashed on Earth...?

Playing the game, I thought they crashed on Earth. Frankly, right now, I don´t remember why that would be a contradiction.

Looked like Iguaçu Falls to me, actually.


Two moons.


No space debris burning up on re-entry.


*runs back to check*

Ahem.  It's TWO MOONS.


I know, and alongside that fact there is also no space debris burning up on re-entry following the mega space battle around earth. I was providing supporting evidence, not arguing against you.


Ah, I retract my Caps Lock, good sir.

Lets take a wild guess and say maybe Normandy was going FTL out of a natural instinct to run from the crucible blast. Perhaps they crashed on a terraformed moon in the Sol system, seeing as Jessica Merizan says they didn't jump through a relay. The ME lore states that terraforming is quite common.

Even if that was true, why was Joker running in the first place? The only reason he would have had to run is if he WENT THROUGH the relay and the beam was following him. Otherwise he could have stayed in orbit with the rest of the ships.

No sense was made. 


According to this tweet twitter.com/#!/JessicaMerizan/status/180504176068014081 they never actually went through the relay

Yep sense, the ending doesn't make it. No matter how hard you try to explain it. Unless it was all a horrible dream.

I think "space magic" is going to be my answer for everything from now on.

How come this computer program doesn't work? Space magic.

Seems to be good enough.

... All right. I'm gonna go to bed before sarcasm gets me into trouble.

Jessica Merizan just confirmed it, the destruction of the Mass Relays was NOT the same as in the Arrival DLC.

In other words, it is confirmed that the galaxy was not "destroyed" by the destruction of the relays.

But that goes against two entire games of characterization for Joker. Remember, this is the guy we had to go back and get while the original Normandy was being torn to pieces. So he has no problem staying in his seat while his ship is literally coming apart at the seams, not to mention being heavily involved in a space battle for Eath, but when the blast from the crucible happens he suddenly decides, "Nope, I'm out!"

Well even if the normandy is crashed somewhere in the Sol system it's still make no sense that our team from the final rush was on the normandy... bug maybe ?

That reminds me; for you and Computim and the other Manga fans:

We all know what makes a great ending

My inner anime-fan just died of happiness. That was awesome. :) Thank you - I needed to laugh.


Japan just became a War Asset worth.... 9000, by that one audio clip alone... xD Ah Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan, such an amazing show, and ME was actually semi based off of it too...:lol:


You know, every video game/anime promotion has the same vibe in Japan...but I love it! Hahaha. I wish this was a real video <3

Jessica is wrong in order for the Normandy to be close enough to a world like that they would have had to have gone through the mass relay. You can also tell by the shape of the energy wave that overtakes the Normandy. When the energy was released from the destruction of a relay it expanded in a spherical wave, whereas when the energy transited from one relay to another it became a focused beam just like the one that hit the Normandy. Hence the only possible explanation is the Normandy was in midtransit from the sol relay. As to why it was there well space magic obviously.

That's even ****tier, you're telling me my Shep did all that, just so the galaxy could be shot into a new dark age?

Because that's so much better.

I know but she hasn't said "This is just my opinion". She is stating a lot of things as fact.

Another of her tweets say (if your squad doesn't appear dead on the citadel) that they were forced to retreat and thats how they ended up back on the Normandy. Check out her twitter feed!!

I don't know.  I take anything she says with a grain of salt these days.  She could tell me that peanut butter goes on toast, and I'd be like, "Oh yeah, sure, pull the other one."

So what is up with this Marauder Shields? I missed something here in between checking on the thread D: But even if it's a husk and it's got out backs? I can live with that.


He's the last enemy that we kill before beaming up to the Citadel.  Little did we know, he was trying to shield us from the crappy ending.


Oh him! I understand now, it's a shame none of us realised his attempt to save us :(

Bad bad Jessica...

That's precisely why this is so pointless, and a horrible design decision to invoke all of this "speculation" and make a concerted effort to withhold detail. If Shep had his conversation with Anderson, and then this played and cut to credits, it'd be just as effective, especially since she's actively encouraging us now to embrace the indocrination theory and disregard everything we saw if that would make a better ending in our heads.

Which, sad to say, for almost all of us, IT WOULD. I care too much about the characters and the story that I've built over the past five years for that to be satisfactory..

Sorry to ask, but who is she to confirm such a thing?

Is she the writer? Is she entitled to make her theory the absolute truth of the game?

When we players say anything regarding how the ending was bad and we want some change, they say we are not entitled to ask for anything, since we did not write it and it does not belong to us.

On the other hand, someone shows up, speaks some half trues and suddenly she is the all knowing authority on the game and we must bow down and pray her wisdom?

Thank you, but no Thank you..

I will accept nothing less the a public official statement, and hopefully it will be an apology to the fans...

Yep Joker was in the middle of space all by himself with no other ships around outrunning a localized space magic explosion. He is around one of the mass relays. For fun here is all the "different" endings again. That is NOT the crucible blast he's out running. Does not look the same.

All these vague twitter posts from Bioware folks are driving me mad. Can't somebody grow a pair and tell us whats going on? The longer this goes on the crazier I'm going to become. Also, first time posting on this thread, even though I've been following it for the past two days.

Jessica doesn't know anything.

She doesn't have any actual information. She's not giving "official" BioWare responses.

And a lot of her claims are sheer nonsense and grasping at straws, over an ending that clearly sucks as badly as she's unwilling to admit.
