Thank you, but holy hell is it not worth it. I'd have to download 2 programs, install em, scale the picture ect ect ect. So yea, looks like I'll be sticking with Duncan for a while. Ahh well, he was always my favorite DA:O char.

Wow almost 500,000 views and comments, no idea how many posted twice (this is my second), that means out of the 4 million sold, 1/4 are not enjoying the ending not to the mention the 100+ thousand or so that will never post or voice their opinion...that must mean something.

Actually they only sold 1.5 mil

And rumor mills pushing the disatisfied count up to over 600K with them what be happy somewhere in the low  ythousands.

Being as history is written by the victors I expect that history will record we had fighter jets and aircraft carriers and the President of the World supporting us within 10 years.

Gotta love Wikipedia. :innocent:

:::: indeed..
But i'm not ready to claim victory yet.. I'm way too old of a soldier for that. However, you made me smile and that gives me hope.. Hope i can live on..

If that was the case this thread's views would be in the trillions. I don't know about you but I refresh an average of 10 times per page.

Its the number of people multiplied by the number of individual times those people have logged in and opened this thread to read it..
One exception is that if you close this thread to go back to the main forum page, and then reopen this thread, it counts as an additional view

Just saw this on Reddit and I think explains our Starchild pain:

Shepard's sacrifice, I feel isn't consistently portrayed to be supportive of the franchise's themes. The thing is that the ending is so contradictory to the entire series themes. You could say that "hey, victory through sacrifice is a major theme, and Shepard achieves victory through his sacrifice" and this is true, but its the way that its developed is contradictory. let me explain.

Through the series, sacrifice has been a constant. The Virmire sacrifice, Mordin dying to save the Krogan, and Legion dying to ascend the Geth. But Shepard's sacrifice is different. Shepard's choice and sacrifice makes Shepard the Star Child's (or as will refer to him Deus Ex Machima Kid) tool. The other sacrifices in the series carried weight, it showed that it was the personal dedication to a cause that allowed victory, that sacrifice was a powerful thing. It showed the self empowerment of an individual, when said individual realized their own existent was secondary to the cause they were fighting for, and that only through their own self-imposed sacrifice could they help the galaxy. Their choice to sacrifice themselves had meaning and power.

The Shepard sacrifice is almost the antithesis of this idea. First, Shepard's sacrifice is forced on him, the DEM Kid shows up and says "here shepard you can kill yourself this way, this, way, or that way". While all other sacrifices were personal choices, this one is forced. Second, it is not Shepard's sacrifice that truly allows the victory, but the DEM Kid. The DEM Kid, who has all of the power and in the scene dictates when he's not spouting exposition, ALLOWS Shepard to sacrifice himself to carry out the DEM Kid's plan, greatly nullifying the significance of Shepard's sacrifice. It is not in defiance that Shepard sacrifices himself to destroy his enemies, Shepard meerly becomes a pawn, which destroying any emotional power of his sacrifice. Third, and slightly related to the second, is that Shepard becomes a pawn TO HIS ENEMY'S LEADER. Thats right, Shepard gets played by his enemy to help obtain his enemy's goals and can't even question the enemy's logic or motives.

And every other significant theme is destroyed by the ending. Power through unification? **** that it doesn't matter who you have. Our variations are are strength? **** that it doesn't matter who you have. And finally, the aforementioned Victory Through Sacrifice, which is changed to be "your allowed sacrifices have helped me obtain victory". Its almost like the ending is parodying its own thematic elements.

I own DA:O for PC and never saw anything to indicate where to upload a personal avatar. I've got several candidates that are images of myself in funky costume that I could use...

Don't embed pics/gifs please, we don't want to get shut down beacuse of them, thank you~! *swoops back out*

Haha very true, Alanosborn1991. Kinda points out the absurdity of someone trying to use a sword in an age where people are decked out in personal shields and advanced rifles. I rolled my eyes at all the Cyborg ninja crap Cerberus pulls out of their ass.

Betcha it has something to do with the llamas, maybe?

[Alanosborn1991]

Well Kai Leng does have shields that could stop a Dreadnot slug for some reason, also an invulnerable Gunship even though Shep took out 10 of those in ME2

I don't remember how to do it either. But I know that my first character got his face in my possible avatars on this forum. Don't ask me how, though...

And I mean my first because it was the first and only character. I tried to play DA:O  again, and gave up. Boring as hell. I did the same thing for DA2, and didn't complete my second character either. I think I'm done with DA, by the way. I don't think they made the right decisions with the series. It was just my "need" to play another "medieval-like rpg by BW", hoping that they did it again, like NWN. But, nah... they didn't.

Edit: I don't think I ever saw a way to do it with ME, though. Then again, I just use custom faces for female characters. For my male Sheps (the majority), I only use default face. Seems the right thing to do, for me.

Not to mention that this aforementioned lone gunship is able to collapse a millennia-old temple which has thus far withstood an all-out Reaper invasion with only its autocannons.

Also how does targeting the supports cause the ground to give out? Wouldnt that make the ceiling fall on Shep? Why does the ground crack and give way to a 10,000 foot drop?

Yeah, I used the free character creator for Dragon Age to get the custom avatar on the forum cause it seemed easier to upload to my profile than using the game.

Probably already been posted, but it seems like we should expect months of silence (at least) on the possibility of a Shepard/crew reunion.
