Wow, I don't even know how people can write fan fiction... lol. I was working on a Mass Effect fan novel but didn't manage to finish it before ME3 release. So I stopped my work on it to see if the story and the concepts would still be relevant after the game. Well, suffice it to say that since I finished the game I can't even look at the text anymore. I've stuck a concept sketch of the protagonist to the wall above my desk, and she stares at me accusingly all the time, "Why won't you finish my story!" And I just can't....

(Yes, I'm crazy, just in case you wondered.) Image IPB


Well, maybe they've written it before ME3 release? ;)

Bioware is more crazy than you, for sure. :mellow:

Were I president of Bioware, I would have released a statement on the direction of the game quite a while ago.

What.  Is.  Taking.  Them.  So.  LONG!

When I imagine Bioware Headquarters, I can't help but associate it with the BENNY HILL theme.  I also think of the employees chasing one another around and crap...

That, or they've been going all out partyhardy for the last few weeks...




OH, and when I think about some kind of musical theme to go with the board meeting that thought up the trash endings we have, I think of THIS.  For serious, Bioware:  I'm easily past genuis level, yet I'm thinking of these stupid things when I think of YOU GUYS.  Doesn't that say anything about how awful this whole situation is?



Where we can find info about Origin refunding ME3? :mellow:


You will need to go through the Customer Representative and Processing.  (or, as I call it, C.R.A.P).

I know a friend who did it by phone.  I'm likely to do the same tomorrow evening.

*cough* i know tastes are different but please, the ending of 2001 is just awesome... and it's fiting because the whole movie has a mysterious and metaphysical touch... it is meant to be like we are watching it from an alien point of view...


It is similar in my mind because of all the BS colors and space magic.

I just find the courage to finish the game once again with my female Shepard. Once again, I have to say that it is really a good game. I love it, until the apparition of the child within the citadel. Before that point, I can't find a point that I do not like, really. That ends are such a pity.... Even if all along the game and specially in the last fight on Earth, we see that the situation is a desperate one, we also feel that there is a little hope, that we might suceed in saving our planet, the Galaxy and people we have learned to appreciate. So many scacrificies were made that is not possible: I want a little chance to have an happy ending, I want another ending where I can see my dead Shepard acclaimed like the hero he is. In all the cases, I want the Reapers dead: they are at the origin of so many deads, so many suffering.
Hold the line!

Only for you to remember.
The movement status want and End where your ME1/ME2/ME3 choice counts.
We aren't asking only a good end, we're asking an end with sense and not plotholes soldier. :mellow:

The  answer to that question is simple... 

Inferority  Complex ,    Game  Devoplers are trying to seek validation of  Videos Games as legit medium that can be as artistic as film, etc,etc. The problem is instead of  doing the work and writing better stories more developered charaters and telling style of stories from the Epic Hero to the Tragic Hero. They do things like what ME 3  ending did  which  screams "Look at me, Look at em... see I can be artistic too."  it failed in grand fashion.   They are seeking validation from critics that are not going to give them validation.

 Question: Has anyone figured out how they can say there are 16 different endings?
It has been bugging me for a while, at most counting tiny things I have only counted 10 endings

Red
Blue
Green
Shepard Breathe's
Big Ben gets destroyed
Reapers Die
Reapers Leave
Citadel Closes
Shepard Incinerates
Shepard gets blown up

Where are the other 6? <_< (also baring in mind I am counting the tiniest details that barely makes them different *sigh*)

I saw this on reddit about an hour ago, I think. I didn't post it because I thought that it'd be unfair toward BioWare. They haven't actually been this openly disrespectful toward us, although their silence is almost worse. The comic still made me giggle, though.

Sometimes while playing games or browsing the web, I jot down quotes that make me laugh. I'm cleaning my desk right now, and scribbled on the pile of loose papers in front of me are several quotes from Mass Effect.

And this makes me really sad. These are the moments that I want to remember Mass Effect for - the witty, the cute, the just-hilarious-for-some-reason. It should be unbelievable that one ending could be bad enough to destroy all that, but somehow, it is.

Don't let the series go out this way!

It depends on your EMS
There are 16 it seems... however they're all the same. :mellow: (Basically)

What me thinks is...

Each crew team member that comes out of the normandy, example

James 1
Tali 2
Garrus 3
Ash 4
and so forth with all the other possibilities , each character equals 1+ ending variation.

Which in my book is ****ing cheap.

I started a second player through. Man what an awesome game. As I make progress towards the end though there is a sense of a horrendous fate approaching...

Ouch... that was the harshest comic I've seen about this whole issue. But it does go to show a lot of the attitude these days. In the old days, you had a problem with something you bought, the person you bought ir from tried to make it right. Now, a lot of times you get people giving you bad attitudes and horrible customer service. Like gamestop... an employee told me he tried to return his copy of MW3 because it had a scratch ring around it when he opened the package and they gave him a hard time, literally calling him a liar. Turns out, they got a call that same day saying that some of them came like that.

Combinations of these things? If you include what people you see besides Joker and Anderson the number of combinations must be STAGGERING :wizard:

What it is, it depends on whether or not you save the collector base in the ME2, which, when combined with your EMS determines the ending. Problem is, the "16" different endings are nothing more than slight variations on one single ending.

I mean, really... what does the Collector Base actually do for you? Just add more numbers to your EMS, I bet. It probably isn't even used in the fight like it's supposed to be.
