You know whats mean my friend is trying to avoid spoilers so I'm not gonna tell him about the ending. On top of that, we have lot of the same taste so I know he gonna rage like crazy.


Just tell him to cancel his preorder and wait for the reviews. The player reviews on Metacritic should give him an indication.

On the subject of MP cutting into dev time...

Don't forget that if you romanced anyone in ME2, your love interest flashback apparently defaults to Liara.

Fell in love with Miranda? Finally won Tali's heart? Headbutted Garrus? Too bad. In their final moments, your Shepards will look back fondly on their time with Liara. Canon romance indeed.


Oh yeah I forgot about that if there is not a patch for that at release day oh boy.....

I wouldn't get near the Tali thread with a hazmat suit over a bulletproof vest.

"The homeworld and capital of humanity is entering a new golden age. The resource wealth of a dozen settled colonies and a hundred industrial outposts flows back to Earth, fueling great works of industry, commerce, and art. The great cities are greening as arcology skyscrapers and telecommuting allow more efficient use of land.
Earth is still divided among nation-states, though all are affiliated beneath the overarching banner of the Systems Alliance. While every human enjoys longer and better life then ever, the gap between rich and poor widens daily. Advanced nations have eliminated most genetic disease and pollution. Less fortunate regions have not progressed beyond 20th century technology, and are often smog-choked, overpopulated slums.

Sea levels have risen two meters in the last 200 years, and violent weather is common due to environmental damage inflicted during the late 21st century. The past few decades, however, have seen significant improvement due to recent technological advances."


See, here's the thing. The positive language is all ongoing and as if it is just beginning. "Is entering", "are greening", "enjoys". Neither is it categorical: "eliminated most genetic disease and pollution", "significant improvement". The other half of the codex reveals a grittier truth that is ongoing and unlikely to categorically end soon: "still divided", "the gap...widens daily", "have not progressed beyond 20th Century...", "are often smog-choked, overpopulated slums". That's by no means a pretty picture, nor is what we see of pre-Reaper London in ME3 likely to be a representative picture of 22nd Century human life in the Mass Effect universe, considering we can very safely assume it to be among the most highly-developed and technologically-advanced cities.

What that codex entry paints is a picture of a minority of people who are very well-off, and a majority of people who while in the strictest-possible language better off are still pretty screwed over. Keep in mind that in reality, as in today, in the non-fiction Earth world, for nearly a quarter of the world's population "longer and better life than ever" would entail having clean drinking water and eating daily. Forget stuff like adequate, competent medical care, shelter, political enfranchisement, and basic utilities. Considering this is a work of science fiction, and the world we live in is the baseline and frame of reference for relatively subjective statements such as the codex entry's, the Mass Effect universe's Earth can still be safely assumed to be a rather crappy place to live for most of its inhabitants, despite being marginally less crappy than the non-fiction Earth.

Dragon Age 2 had endings people wanted. 


You must have played a different game.


Maybe that's what happened to DA2... maybe I somehow ended up with a broken copy that caused the railroad plot and lack of ability to presue obvious paths and so on...

'That said, the magazine’s definition of “loose ends” must not cover potential teases about where the series might go in the aftermath of Mass Effect 3 - since there is “an interesting sequence after the end credits.” Gamestar doesn’t specify regarding what players can expect from the after-credits sequence – though it’s safe to say that you’re going to want to hold-off on that bathroom break. Regardless of what exactly is shown, expect that the footage will represent an evolution of the story (rather than a simple continuation) – as well as, maybe, answer why BioWare is encouraging players to hang-on to Mass Effect 3 game saves. Maybe Shepard resorts to desperate measures to expel the reaper threat? Measures with lasting implications?'

Won't work, he will also most likely try not believe me and say that I missed something. Besides he does not anything about the game. He does not even know the squadmates in the game.

No, but heresay indicates it's something about a story about Shepard in the vein of Jesus.


I do not want to be space Jesus. Shepard is just a good leader there at the right time. I already had enough time trying to justify Shepard dying. This is not welcome for me. Shepard is not a god.

From what I saw last night, the Tali fans are happy because you can apparently turn her into a war asset, thus saving her from Gilligan's Island. They're headcanoning an eventual reunion.

And they were sooooo happy about this epiphany that a few of them had to go into the Liara thread and offer their condolences on Liara's unavoidable fate. classy move.

Yep, but anyone who honestly believed that MP dev'ing wouldn't cut into their dev time was listening to the marketing, which is just a poor idea all around.

It took me forever to convince him that mass effect deception was bad, but once he found hahah it was funny. Anyway on the off the chance he might like it I wont say anything.

Bioware disagrees.

In fact, Christianity is correct. Jesus will be ressurected to fight the reapers in the future. Bioware are not game developers. They are prophets.

We need to start getting this on more sites. It's taken hold on the Escapist, GameFAQ, and probably Neogaf, but it needs more widespread attention.

Hell, just don't even GO into the romance character forum. Ash/Kai fans are going to be PISSED if the Normandy does end up marooned. Same as Liara fans. Garrus fans? They'll be upset. All the ME2 romance fans will be up in arms.

Honestly, everyone with an LI is getting screwed over one way ot the other:

VS - Marooned.
Garrus - Marooned, starving, and no flashback.
Liara - Marooned.
Tali - Marooned, starving, and no flashback.
ME2 romances - Dead or no flashback.
Cortez/Samantha - No flashback.

Leaving them on Earth doesn't save them, Dextros near Earth will have very little food. Hell most of the Galaxy will likely starve because the remaining  Argi worlds won't be able to make supply runs in time.

I hope everyone here knows the endings aren't the only problem. Supposedly dialog was greatly cut from the original version and characters become "Zaeed" type characters that you can't talk to between important missions.


If it's true , than it's simply disgusting. A degradation of  a company that once created Badlur's Gate 2 is astonishing.
