Random thought just popped into my head. Having been so upset about the endings I forgot about another issue I had, though it really isn't that important.

Such as not seeing me in years and calling me a 'friend' over and over again. Seemed a little disjointed to me. was anyone else slightly bothered by this?


This is one of them import bugs, apparently.


I got bugged! NO!!!!!...next you're gong to tell me the ending was an import bug :crying:

Hey, folks. Could someone tell me what some 7, 8 hours ago someone from BioWare posted here and on FB (what was deleted meanwhile) and made such a ruckuss? I see now that Jessica Merizan is trying to explain everything as mistake but I wonder what that was. Thanks.

YesyesYESYESYES. This. So much this.

It sounds callous and stupid, but I didn't care much for saving earth. I got the 'best' Destroy ending, but Earth could have been obliterated for all I cared. There's pockets of humanity around the galaxy, the species could survive.

What mattered to me was that the characters I had grown to know and love over 3 whole games each got a good send off. Because that's how human psychology works.

There's a reason Oxfam create their TV ads using the stories of individual children as opposed to reeling off statistics of the full horror of the situation to the viewer; the human emotional mind has difficulty connecting with statistics. Give it the face of a single hungry child, however, and it will be motivated to move mountains to help. It's logical - our evolutionary history happened in the context of a tight tribal group, not a vast national/global community. Our psychology has some catching up to do with our social and technological development.

Part of the reason the ending of ME3 sucked is that it 'zoomed out' and took the abstract position. It dehumanized. And in the final scene on Gilligan's planet with our beloved squadmates, it was such a completely ambiguous 'WTF' moment that it was completely unsatisfying.

The ending was Bad because of a Story leak shortly before the ME3 Relase. So they made a crappy one to get more time for a DLC with the True Ending, called The Truth -.-

They have this information from a "insider"

Don´t know what i thin about this articel

Sorry for the bad english. Im tired...and German :D

"No,The Truth is nothing but a rumor" basically.


Yes, but at this moment, I think we should not be so pessimistic. He only said it is a rumor, he did not said "This is false.".

We should Hold the Line...but hope always dies last.

Basically what Bioware did with the romances was to reset them all to zero. It doesn't matter who you romanced in the past, you have the choice to get anyone now in ME3 (from the choices offered of course).

When I first heard about the romances in ME3 I thought they would play a major part in the campaing, and that would be a lot of drama, for instance you romanced Ash in the first and Miranda/Jank in the second, they would actually fight each other to see who gets you. Instead, nothing happens, and if you were unlucky to romance Miranda or Jack and decides to be faithful to them in ME3 basically is sums up to nothing, since you don't get a chance of romancing them..

And if you were faithful to only one romance, since ME1, it still doesn't matter, because the others romanceable characters will make a pass on you. Including Cortez... (PS. I thought the gay romanceable was Vega, not cortez for a while).

When the game was announced and it was said we would have less companions I was fine with that, since we would be able to better focus on the companions we had. But I believed we would be given the choices of wich companions we would pick. When the game began, I had to go around recruiting Doctor Chakwas, and all the others crew members I thought it was interesting and made sense too.

Then Miranda contacted me and I hoped I could recruit her, same thing for Samara and JAck, but no, they just add as war assests and that was poor writing. My Sheppard had romanced Ash in the first and Miranda in the second, but I never got the chance to hook up with Miranda at all..All I had were a few lines to say that were different from the basic converstation, so what was the point of having Miranda (and I guess Jack too) as LI if it doesn't matter in ME3?

About 90% of us is saying that the game is great, some even perfect, before the ending. Though I want the ending to change, I think the rest of the game is far from perfect. There were too many plot holes, big enough to swallow the entire sol system. The RPG elements were less present and watered down on this game, and the romances, even though took a huge part of the game, felt empty and meaningless. We talk about how the ending didn't give us any choice, but the RGB version of the one ending, but if you play close attention to how the entire game develops, you will see that overall, we didn't have that many choices in the game.

/Salute

And holding the line

I've said it before. But for me ME3 ended when Shepard got hit by the reaper beam. Everything that happens after that is just Shepards dying brain creating hallucinations (synapses missifring neurons and all that) and trying to cope with things before he/she draws his/her final breath. (And if you do good enough you even get to see Shepard draw his/her final breath). At least that explains what his/her body is doing in the London rubble.

Anyway I'd rather leave things open like that in my headcanon then giving in to the space magic god child mumbo-jumbo BW is trying to feed us with.

But yes, I was confused too with the Liara romance; I'd be happy if they'll fix it sometime in the future, but it's really not important right now

If only it were that simple! :(

But yeah, it happened to me and it's happened to some others too, so ... just one of those things, I guess like the Conrad issue in ME2.

EDIT> Oops, got bunneh'd! :D Definitely agree with you there milena.

Oh, I am optimistic we can "win" this, but The Truth may be The Lie and, uh...  Hmm, you know what I mean.  ^_^


Still holding the line, for the love of the game. <3

“At this time we don’t have any plans to change the ending"

If this is true, I swear here and now, that Bioware and/or EA will never see one of my bucks again.

ME3 was eviscerated. It wasnt even like it was an accident. How could they have thought that the ending as it was would be a good idea? INSANITY.

Jess said there will be a statement on Wednesday, its anybody's guess what that will include but an update is an update right? Its escalating too much for them to ignore us or wait until we go away. Just keep the faith, we're getting closer
