As far as them stacking the questions at PAX that's par for the course nowdays when there are cameras,questions and votes/money/PR on the line.

Previously, on "Days of our Developers"

After briefly uniting with Loyal Fan at PAX, Bioware, solemn, but filled with resolute purpose, ventures to the palatial estate of parent company, EA... Little did Bioware know that their relationship was about to take a very wrong turn...

"Bioware! Excellent job at PAX! Bang up job! Couldn't have done it better myself! Come on in, we'll have a drink in the study."

"Sure, I've always wanted a tour of this place, it's immense."

"It's just a cozy little place for friends, and we ARE friends, to have a drink and relax. We should celebrate your performance today - you've earned yourself a respite."

"Okay, EA - lead the way"

<Bioware is taken to EA's massive study, the walls lined with age polished oaken panels and the room filled with plush and comfortable lounge furniture. Hung on the wall over the large hearth at the end of room are trophy plaques - on each are the stuffed and mounted heads of Bullfrog UK, Westwood Studios, and Pandemic Studios>

<pours Bioware a drink from a crystal decanter> "Here you go, Bioware. To your health and a job well done!"

<takes a sip from the glass> "Arrg! What the hell is THAT?! It's awful!"

"Awful? It's the perfect vintage! It's 10 year's worth of collected tears from a thousand orphaned children, fermented with the bones of a dozen puppies to which I personally gave terminal cancer... It requires a sophisticated palate, Bioware. Perhaps you're just not ready for such a drink."

<gazing into his glass and then back at EA> "Are you f&^!ing crazy?!"

"Ha ha! No, not crazy. First, to enjoy this drink, you have to understand why everything else isn't to my standard. You see, with every developer I purchase, every franchise I acquire, every competition I ruthless crush under my heel... it gets more and more difficult for me to actually 'feel' anything anymore. It's one of the reasons I directed you to make the ending of Mass Effect 3 so horrid. I need to feed from the negative emotions of your Loyal Fan - every moment of anger, every flash of despair... they are like drops of rain in a parched desert. Each one priceless..."

"EA, I understand our relationship pretty well, but please believe me when I tell you that you're balls out f^&%ing bonkers - I mean it with the greatest respect. I've got to get out of here..."

"STOP! You'll stay. And you know why you'll stay? Because I OWN you, Bioware. You wanted the power of a mighty conglomerate publisher at your back. You sold yourself to me - you did as I directed you to do with Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3. You're too far down this road, my friend. You and I, we are in this together."

"I didn't sign up for THIS! I understood why you wanted to take Dragon Age 2 in a different direction - dumb down the game play and generalize the plot and make it was easier to crank out sequels... Mass Effect 3 day-one DLC, I got that and we made a killing on it... I even understand your requirement to make the ending of Mass Effect 3 general and easy to maintain continuity for an MMO. But this, this is just...."

"Evil? Insidious? I've heard it all before - I heard it from those heads mounted on the wall over there. They couldn't share a quiet drink with me either. Think about that Bioware. Think of where you are now... and where they are. Now, are you going to have a drink with your friend, EA? Or not?"

<looks at the glass again> "Do I have a choice?"

"Bioware, silly developer. You never did."

Will Bioware succumb to the evil wiles of EA's dastardly plot to ruin gaming for millions? What does this mean for the Extended Cut of Mass Effect 3? Is this the END of Bioware as we know it? Wait and find out!

Haha.. yeah doesn't Brazil have more armoured vehicles per capita than the US Federal Government?  I was watching a thing on Discovery about jackings and it was a tad scary haha.

I got carded for like GTAIV... but that's more cause they thought the guy behind me was a cop fining people for not carding lol.


Yeah...getting your car armored is actually quite easy in Brazil. Everyoby who has a little bit more money gets their car armored. My family never got ours armored because we lived in a smaller, and the 3rd safest town in the country. 
Jeez, I haven't visited Brazil in such a long time lol




And here, pretty sure Twilight fans will enjoy this ;)

So, yeah, can we possibly get back on topic?

It would really suck to have this thread locked because everyone was discussing age <_<

Part of me wonders if BW will just read over all the IT stuff that people wrote and posted, gut it and use it as DLC claiming it's what they were planning all along.......saving them the problem of finding a solution by taking someone else's.

Do I want to think BW would do it? No.

Do I think EA would do it? Oh hell yes.

See I almost get the opposite from this last week...

Bioware is arguing artistic integrity, and EA is saying "GIVE THEM WHATEVER THEY WANT!"
EA is trying to get their origin platform off the ground.. that's a major major strategic goal for vertically integrating their retail chain.  It has far more ramifications for them, and for gamers than Bioware's artistic integrity.

Bioware replied "No." and excused it with Artistic Integrity."

So EA had a press release, unannounced on a Thursday morning about a new DLC... before even Mass Effect's Twitter people knew it was coming out... seems to me some interoffice politics... but I'm not sure.
