The Prima Strategy guy was probably misleading people, he also stated that you could romance up to 10/11 people in mass effect 3.


In other words all of this is a crock.

Let's see:

MaleShep:
Ashley
Liara
Tali
M-Only Character
Miranda
Jack

Female Shep:
Kaidan
Liara
Thane
Garrus
Jacob
F-Only Character

Non-Romanceable:
Vega
EDI
Joker
Prothean Squadmate

Combined, you have 10 potential LIs. Could he have meant that?

i have to agree with the people saying, wait untill you play the game to find out the best endings because honestly this does not make sense. we were told that (like me2) we would be able to keep playing the game after the credits roll to finish up any left over quests or romance plots.(assuming shepard lives of course).

   


If its fake come out and tell us Bioware but oh thats right they lock threads instead . no its real 


Maybe they're getting a kick out of how stupid most people in this thread are being.B)

   


their silence means its real some way there were when the 1st leak happened

No, it just means the prima strategy guy was a crock.


Where can i see him talking about stuff. I hear all these different things and i've only been able to find about 3 things where people say things from a direct source and all those things are contrary to what bioware has said to be official.

I would pay for Happy Ending DLC. No joke.


And that's probably what EAWare was counting on to boost profits. F*ckers.


If this really was the case, I think I'm just going to stop buying BW products.

Just don't believe any of this until you see it yourself.  don't trust CerbSoldier, don't trust OP, don't trust anyone who says, "Prima guy" or "Space edition guy" or "Leaked script".  What do you think Bioware would do?

Mass Effect creates a drama and threat on the scale beyond the 'happy ending'. Something was going to end poorly and I'm glad each ended with a consequence the player would not like.


"Player would not like" not the same as "we decided that billions of lives wasted during war is not enough so no pesronal happy ending for Sheppard and Normandy crew". Galaxy in tatters. Is it so much for Shep and his crew to have some peace?

Up until the ending was leaked, this very community was complaining that the only way to win the war was to be some Deus Ex Machina that would seem to be a shallow victory.


There will be Deus Ex Machina anyway. no?



That scene, being one without choice, was actually a GOOD scene, because it took choice away from the player, reminded them they were in a limited space  for choice- that they were not god.


We got that a lot in DA2. No matter what Anders will go besrserk and play terrorist,  no matter what, there will be a war between templars and mages. no matter what strange idol will corrupt everyone on it's path. We CAN NOT change that. Global scale, fine. But local scale, player scale, Hawk scale, Sheppard, should be more flexible. We earned it. Make it hard to achive, i am all for that, but provide us with all kinds of options.

A less then happy endding? Fantastic! Just one more thing that will make the Mass Effect series stand out as unique and all the more enjoyable for it.

This is something we should have seen coming ever since Virmire. Mass relays = Reaper tech and we are at war with the Reapers in game so it stands to reason the end has something to do with the key to the Reaper strategy being taken out.

Yes, yes, of course, I'll put all my money on some guy named Tank - yeah, right. Others saw a script they claim - sure, sure. The why would BW create multiple endings all basically doing the same? THAT is especially sloppy writing even a rank amateur couldn't do in basic writing class - no one would do so with so many eyes watching BW's every move and reacting to every rumor as if it were somehow real. The fact is from ME3 demo the Reapers are already destroying much of Earth - all of played that and know this fact to be true. You're not going to save Earth and have her somewhat intact - too many Reapers destroying as Sheppard does his thing to fight these guys. This is now a war to save humanity in the colonies and the rest of the ME universe. Earth is half pulverized in the first fifteen minutes of ME 3 - now the question is how can the Reapers be stopped there on Earth? And if Sheppard gets to live with at least one L1 then that's a victor in and of itself. The best Sheppard can hope is to save a half pulverized Earth that will be set back hundreds of years even if Sheppard is successful. There is no way around that - the Reapers have half the Earth devastated in the demo - now the question is what is the rest of the races in the Galaxy going to do to help? This I think is the key to ME3 and Sheppard's actions going forward. Just saying.

DA2 is a set up for DA3, anders needs to blow up chantry and start war for the plot of DA3, it'll show when that's released and people will appriciate DA2 for it's impportant roll.

And we havn't earned anything.  We didn't make the game, we didn't write the world.

Actually, it seems like they are a little too much in love w/ BSG. 


Even BSG wasn't this bleak . . . some of the characters seemed happy at the end of it. I can't imagine anyone even cracking a smile at this, "Congrats everyone galactic civilization is destroyed, the SR2 is gone with everyone you know in it and billions are dead or going to die because of the complete devestation of the entire economic system we all depend on!"

Who wants some medals! After the ceremony we can eat them for food.

No, he stated that you could romance these characters in ME3:

Ashley/Kaidan(Bi)
Liara(Bi)
Garrus(Femshep)
Tali(Maleshep)
Miranda(Maleshep)
Jacob(Femshep)
Samantha(Femshep)
Steve(Maleshep)
Diane(Bi)
Vega(Bi)

Miranda,Jacob and the Vega possibilites stand out as they are very unlikely.

Liara would only count as one... but if you add cortez and trayner in there then it is 11... and i think Diana is also romancable

Then either the Prima guy is wrong because Space Edition guy said that Vega blew him off when he played as FemShep.

I love all this "someone saw a script" crap. The script, which BW confirmed is real, is there for anyone to see. It's been on pastebiin for months. And it has the exact same endings. They're real.

Another thing that is worrying me is that the guy who says he played it is insisting it's not possible to get the "best" ending without playing MP or the ios because the max readiness you get from the SP game is not enough.


That shouldn't be worrying you; to the contrary, it just goes to show that the 'guy' in question is making things up. The developers have said this over and over: You don't have to play the MP to get the full SP experience, let alone some iOS minigame.

So I'm reading Strategy Guide Guy's thread, and it seems that the game does have a Perfect Ending that, in theory, would allow post-game play. The interesting part is that implies there's an ending where the Relays remain and you keep the Normandy. Even if you can't play post-game, that's really the only way you can interpret it.

If that's the case, I'm perfectly satisfied.

Tbh, having the a somber/gritty/realistic ending is becoming almost as hackneyed as "happily ever after" endings. It's not like the playerbase is stupid. We know that Shepard is entering a full-on war with an enemy that has eradicated entire civilizations. We don't expect Shepard or any of the races to come out unscathed. But the fact there is not even a remotely happy ending, not even cautiously optimistic ending, strikes me as lazy writing. It's easy to bludgeon emotion out of the playerbase when you make your endings so crushingly depressing.

I mean, the SP demo says it all. We know that Shepard has experienced major combat loss, seen some real shizniz, lost a lot of people, etc. It's only natural that we want our characters to be somewhat happy in the end, minus atrociously high mortality rates for everybody involved. It's like Call of Duty killing off every protagonist they ever use. Yeah, we get it. Real life means people can die. As it turns out, real life tends to produce the most terribad endings.

Edit: On the other hand, if the above poster is true. Then I take back everything I said.

You mean the one that has the exact same endings and names for them that are in game . EA is doing a hell of a protection job on some bull Sh endings

Yeah, cause devs never spin things. You can get all endings but one. That could well mean the "full experience" to them.
