Not really surprising, it all comes down to Friday doesn't it? I wonder if Bioware are feeling the pressure....


True, Friday is when we all expect answers. I also wonder if BW are feeling the pressure, I suppose it all depends on how they are going to address the ending debacle, if they aren't planning on saying anything then they obviously just don't care "Pfft who cares? we already have their money" or they plan on addressing it and are sweating to death hoping whatever they plan won't cause more problems.

I will maintain that Bioware is going to announce something brilliant for us. I know they've said they're not changing the endings but I will keep my fingers crossed that the additional content really takes our concerns into account. I imagine they know that if they do this in a half-assed way they know there's the possibility of facing a lynch mob lol

Yeah I agree, I have a lot of hope that they will do something spectacular, I just hope (haha) they don't crush my hope like a small insignificant insect. Lynch mobbing is so not this century, so they better fix it lol :P

I think that IT is correct, and I hope that they deliver DLC that lets us see what happens with our mental struggle that was the end of ME3.

Having said that, they *still* totally, 100% dropped the ball as far as “the reveal” goes. If you are being indoctrinated then the reveal should have happened right before you were to make the Control/Synthesize/Destroy choice. Right there, standing in the middle of the platform you should have thought, “Wait a minute, am I being lied to? Is this a trick?” [/b]But we didn’t think that. No one did. And that is where they dropped the ball. A massive seed of doubt should have been placed right then and there. Every single player should have stood there *at that point* thinking, “Am I indoctrinated?”

Instead we got what we got, an “ending” that kicks the other 99% of the entire Mass Effect series right in the daddy bags if taken literally.


Oh you mean this

the ultimate reveal of reveals...after this point in the movie, there was absolutely no question, the main character was delusional. Bioware missed that part if the Indoctrination Theory is supposed to hold water.



Exactly.

While I am all for IT, the fact that it was rolled out like this (if it is true) is a huge misstep. If there is DLC released that has us crawling out of the rubble and continuing the “real fight” it will be bittersweet at this point. Yes I want to see an ending that doesn’t contain plot holes so large that you can fly the Destiny Ascension through, but I have little desire to actually buy or play it.

If IT is what is going on the sad reality (and bittersweet feeling) is that we will have to pay to see the actual end of the trilogy after you wake up in the rubble of London. This comes after we have already plunked down upwards of $80 under the premise that we were getting a full game/story in the first place.

And please will someone tell people to stop comparing Fallout 3 to this situation? At least at the end of the non DLCd Fallout 3 you had quite a bit of closure that fell in line with the previous 40-100 hours of game play. Here? Not even close. You have 20 minutes of end game play that (if taken literally, and with such a botched indoctrination reveal how did they expect anyone to take it otherwise?) is played out as if the previous two games and most of the third don’t exist.

Thanks. :) Just as a sidenote: in the last episode (13) there was a little line from Aria thinking about her favorite DJ Bare from Omega - had to cut it out because I wanted to clarify why she's so desperate to pull out a gun on herself, but I have to get back to that inside joke someday. :D

Let's guess the likely "big announcements" that Bioware will give us at PAX:
1 Multiplayer maps/weapons packs/species (because we demanded it!)
2 A Facebook Game (cheap to make and Bioware can throw the word "community" around a lot. Plus it can factor into your Galactic Readiness score)
3 Appearance/Armor Packs (Tali will be soooo cute in her new outfit!)
4 Retake Omega with Aria (by the way who really cares if Aria [Mass Effect's Jabba the Hutt] gets her slum back anyway?)
5 Javik 50,000 BC (fight Collectors and Reapers before he's frozen)

Am I missing any other likely announcements? I doubt they're going to fall on their sword and admit they screwed up.

Seriously... I just don't get the whole Aria/Omega appeal. I wished I could turn on the shower in Shepard's cabin every time I left that place. Not a DLC I'd ever be shelling out money for.

You will see an Elcor Living Tank. You won't see Blasto, unfortunately. You'll hear what happened to him, though. :)

That made me laugh, though I had one issue with ep 13, I just cannot imagine Aria putting a gun to her own head, I understand the reasoning, better dead than indoctrinated, but Aria is gungho, she would recklessly fight.

The "hook" I chose for her was that she is "above any mistakes" - I actually had a line written for her in which she acknowledges that she messed up by staying on the Citadel, but decided that it doesn't fit my version of her - she'd never admit to a mistake, never loose (she might have lost Omega to TIM, but she still considers it "temporary" and is pretty sure she'll get back there ASAP) and... she would never die at someone's hands. The suicide move wasn't aimed to be a moment of weakness, but rather a big finger towards the Reapers and the world - I choose my own fate, no matter what, you can just enjoy the corpse suckers. 

I can fully understand your reservations, as this might just be my own skewed view of the character, there's always a lot of overinterpretation going on in my head. :D
