If those are the endings then whatever, I'm still going to play. However, I have a really hard time believing that those are the only endings for ME3. Bioware can't be that dumb to not realize how much people are invested in this game to just say ok the Normandy  crashes somewhere random, Shepard is stranded or whatever. Your decisions don't matter yada yada yada. Until I actually play this game and attempt to get the ending I want then I won't believe these leaked videos and spoilers are it. Here's hoping...[/quote]

BOML I was once optimistic like you, then I saw this interview today with Mac Waters.  Pay attention to the highlighted part.

[quote]Rdubs wrote...

This interview with Walters just came out, look at what he says about how the story is written with regards to the whole "choices" thing.
[quote]RipTen: Throughout the series, there have been numerous memorable main and side quests where Shepard must make a critical decision. How did you decide which of these past choices would come back to help/haunt the Commander in Mass Effect 3? What kind of repercussions can players expect from their actions beyond the major plot points. We’re pretty sure the Rachni Queen and Collector Base decisions will affect the story, but what about those side quests?

MW: Most of the choices, and certainly the critical ones, will be reflected in Mass Effect 3 to some degree. The real work comes in trying to decide just how much each choice will impact Commander Shepard. If we addressed every choice with equal weight, we’d end up creating nothing more than a customized cutscene of all your past choices. But each game needs to stand on its own, with its own unique story, plots and choices. At the core, my job is to create a compelling framework for the story using the current status of the galaxy. Once that backbone is created, we can start to find ways to weave past choices and their consequences in to the story… to flesh out the main plot. But first and foremost, the core story has to be amazing. It has to blow you away, regardless of the different possibilities. That way, we can more certain that every possible version of the story is one that people will love, and hopefully remember for a long time to come.[/quote]

Shephard was already pretty much given the opportunity to be religious or not.

What is the point of getting war assets and preparing for the final battle when it has little impact on the ending anyway? 


I think I might skip a lot of it so I can get the worst possible ending...seems more humane to your crew.

According to the movies, basically you are better equipped to shoot reapers.

Well, good morning everyone :)

We were planning to give you a heads up that this (I believe the 60 second version) tv spot will be airing on the Walking Dead tonight. Also, it contains a number of Easter eggs we will share with you along with some cool tidbits about the "Making Of". Granted, it's not for everyone (please don't get carried away with the flames!) - the reality is, for you guys (the core fans) the DIGIC spot and the upcoming launch trailer are the main assets :)

By the way, the leaked one was not finished (fairly rough in spots) and was leaked by a tester. Not cool when they do that.

No, this isn't the launch trailer, and yes, there is still going to be one. IVE SAID TOO MUCH.

Anyway, stay positive! ;D

Wait, I read (earlier in this thread) that Xio confirmed that the destruction of the relays does not destroy eezo (and as such FTL) technology. This cuts off clusters from the wider galaxy, but this doesn't doom everyone. We don't have a complete map and knowledge of the Local Cluster in the Mass Effect galaxy. It's possible that the dietary needs of quarians and turians can be met in a nearby system that is only a few days away.

As well, if the Normandy is thrust through a wormhole, that opens up new things. Depending on who you talk to, wormholes bend or fold space. This could open up a new form of space travel that replaces relays altogether.


On a completely unrelated subject, I hear BioWare also decided to put some big ring in the Egyptian desert, and needed Richard Dean Anderson to come in for a new character. He was quickly followed by Joe flanigan.

Huzzah! Crossbreeding story-lines!


Was this before or after Ben Browder got shot through a wormhole to a distant part of the universe?  Aboard a ship?  A living ship?


Wait what?

Was this in another movie, or a show? I HAVE MISSED SOMETHING! *Kills self*


Lol, Farscape.  You know Stargate but not Farscape!?

actually, I wonder if you skip most of what you can do you in fact end up with a better overall ending? I mean if you can skip parts where planets are sacrificed and rush to war, in the long run you have saved those planets right? So the faster you rush to the ending the more lives you actually save.

I really hope that if they do end up going the way of the MMO that they make it a Sandbox style where you can actually live in the universe. It would really be a shame if it's another Theme Park like TOR/WoW/etc, just level to cap then pvp or do raids.

Getting as many people as possible killed in ME 2 without Shepard dieing, seems the most humane, then Shepard sacrificing himself at the end and making everyone else Transhuman so that there is a chance these beings will have the higher intelligence and survivability to last in this split up destroyed universe.

No its just like Halo 3 Bungie got tired of Master Chief and wanted to work on something else so they stranded him out in space. MS probably told them if they killed off master chief they won't get any bonuses, so they didn't show his death.

EA is pulling the strings, If they say we want mass effect 4 within 3 years bioware will do it. Otherwise jobs are lost. New IP's are a big risk for EA.

1) Bioware does not want people ask for more Shepard Mass Effect games. This is why they do not allow a happy ending.


And so they instead have people asking for a better ending. Oh the irony.

Ksandor wrote...
2) They want to reboot the series like Hollywood movies do. Probably an FTL only universe with a "rebuild the relays" theme MMORPG with modular SWTOR type cliche story missons.


Very likely. Alas.

One night the writers of bioware should go outside with their headphones on and just look up at the stars while listening to vigil's theme to remind themselves of what Mass effect really is.
Here's the link, you really should listen to it, it's the most beautiful theme i have ever heard. seriously put the theme on and look at the stars, you will NOT regret it.

Jarrett was talking about a new commercial that was previously leaked. It had nothing to do with the game ending.
