What about the emotional roller-coaster that Kaidan put me through?! That man better have flowers waiting for me on earth.

Definitely not about the destination, yeah.

When I was playing DA2, my cat jumped on to the computer case and turned it off right as I was finishing the last endgame boss fight.

I'm probably going to do that on purpose for ME3.

^^^ lollol I'm feeling this. I'd knock my xbox360 over to avoid the endgame but I don't wanna be a drama queen, wish I had a handy cat around.

Although I do agree that the journey is more important than the destination, it is not so much more important that you can have a bad ending and still make up for it with a good journey. You know what is better than a good journey? A good ending to tie it all off nicely. That, even though it may consist of things that are simply 'good' makes a experience fantastic.

Seriously. Building up with such good experiences only to dump everything is worse than simply having a mediocre experience in the first place.

The journey and destination are locked together and both are equally important.

Ding ding ding! 

Yes, the destination is equally as important as the journey (though the destination does not have to be a literal physical place, obviously), because otherwise the journey has no purpose. It can't even be called a journey at all. Even a Knight Errant has a destination--the state of mind and action where they stop to help every wrong they see and then continue on.

Samara has a destination (aside from killing Morinth); the successful occupation of being a justicar, and the ideal of ridding the galaxy of evil (as the Code defines it).

I also seriously question the idea that having fixed locations for these memorable moments is a bad thing--some of the best ME moments were ones that happened in a specific location and in a specific way (conversation/action choices aside, of course).

I've yet to see a "memorable moment" that happened outside a cutscene or conversation that wouldn't have been FAR more impactful and memorable if they were in a cutscene or conversation.

Wow, that a pretty interesting article. I cant wait to see how I experience them.

Nice, adding more to the hype machine. 

Why did this year had to be a leap year!!!

Whatever Walters. I'm out after ME3.

[TheComfyCat]

Haha not the destination, it's the journey. Good one.

Fairly certain that he meant not all the cutscenes/conversations with a specific character are going to happen in the same place, ala what happened the last two games. As in, not every conversation with a squadmate will take place in that one area of the ship where they ALWAYS ARE for some reason. He didn't mean having moments outside of cutscenes or conversations... whatever that means. Squad banter?

Anyway, I like the direction the relationships are going.

[Daywalker315]

Awesome. I will absolutely be completing my first playthrough just as I did with ME2. No guides, no forum help, nothing. I don't want it to be perfect. I want to play it honestly and see how my decisions and emotions lead me to choose the things I say and do and ultimately how those things turn out. It's not as simple as a "what decision do I NEED to make here to make sure I get a perfect ending?". Not on my first one anyway. I'll worry about that much later.

[oyukichan]

Feeling anticipatory in a way I haven't felt since my first date with my now-husband! Well done, Mac!

[Dominus]

To be honest, though, if I knew where every road would end ahead of time, I’d probably be tempted to take a detour every now and then. But at what cost? Just how much would I change to achieve a certain outcome in my life and relationships? That brings me to an even more common inspirational saying: “It’s not the destination—it’s the journey”.

With that Quote, I'd like to throw in another quote of important note...

Cortez: So my secrets are being revealed, are they?
April: I wouldn't say that, because you're still a mystery to me. More so.
Cortez: Good. You see, señorita, mystery is important. To know everything, to know the whole truth, is dull. There is no magic in that. Magic is not knowing, magic is wondering about what and how and where.

Part of us hungers to have the answers in our hands, but part of the magic dissapears when you've already heard/read/seen it for yourself ahead of time.

It's really good to see major steps being taken to improve on the romances. There are many great things about the Mass Effect series, but I'd never really been impressed(outside of a few instances) by the romance options from the trilogy. Dynamic romantic interactions sound like a breath of fresh air.

So it doesn't matter if the light at the end of the tunnel is daylight or an oncoming train. All that matters is that split-second glimmer of hope before you're flattened... Precious.

the guy needs to add 8 more - EDI, Udina, Hackett,Vigil, Sovereign, Harbinger, Kelly Chambers and Dr. Chakwas

Happiness? HAH! Good one, Chris.

[yoshibb]

It works better in real life than it does with a story.

In a story, you're remember the end the most. And if it makes you rage, then you forget about the journey you made to the ending because it seems pointless.

[Tony_Knightcrawler]

The new features, like the fact that conversations happen in more than one place, sound nice.

I do have a question for Mac, or possibly Chris. It's related to character interactions, for sure. But it might be a bit technical. Jack. As a male who was nice to Jack, she became interested in me even when I tried to shoo her away from that subject. Therefore, completing the last conversation with her in ME2 makes her very mad at Shepard because you're forced into rejecting her or becoming involved with her. If you reject her, she treats you badly every future time you meet her in ME2. Is this just because she takes time to get over things? If I complete the conversation, will she be mad in ME3? Or if I want to remain on good terms with her, should I leave the last conversation incomplete?

Not knowing only increases my anxiety, but thanks for the post, anyway. 

I'll be diving into my guide as soon as I receive it. I never start a journey without a clearly defined route, including emergency exits. Hopefully, it won't all go up in smoke.

I have to do that as well. I thought I was going to be able to not do it for ME3, but I decided I needed to know where I was going before the end...part of me wishes I didn't, but I know now that I'm going to be much more okay with what's gonna happen when I play it than I would have been had I not known.

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

It is confusing. I do not know if it is good or bad, especially in regards to My LI Miranda.

[noxpanda]

I like a good journey don't get me wrong, but i also like to have a destination that isn't straight off a cliff
