I kinda read this as "we couldn't come up with a good ending"

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


Indeed.

Completely agree.

"It’s not about the destination or the outcome—it’s about the moments you share with these characters."

He has a point but I can't shake off this feeling that the spoilers from that 'messed up ending' thread is true.

Of course it is because of the endings.

So, he couldn't write a good ending. But the rest of the story is good (?).

Chris, this is just salt to the wound. You KNOW that we know about what happens in regards to all the relationships and none of you have the damn guts to come over to the Spoiler forum and confront us about it.

The passive aggressive title doesn't help either.

You people are reading into this way too much.

Way, way too much.

Just chillax for a moment. This blog post is empty, so drawing conclusions from empty information is silly. And has nobody noticed the 'Partial Nudity' in the ESRB rating list? There's going to be some 'ending' somewhere, if that's what you're looking for.

You know... I know Bioware didn't make this game but the end of KOTOR 2 was miserable with characters being cut off from each other. I never played that game again.

In a video game, the destination matters as much as the journey. In a video game where you have choices, people want to have the option to have the happy glowy romantic ending. Some people want the bad ending, some want the bittersweet ending.

This, just this.

And yeah, bring moar passive-agressive damage control measures please, cause you know it's gonna hit the fan. 
It's nothing wrong with bittersweet endings, but it is a big deal in a game where "choices" were supposed to matter. 
Matter much eh.. just like ME2, a big all for nothing.

What's next? Did it all happen in someone's dream?

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.<snip?


:) First +1 billion to you for your game quote. "The Longest Journey" is one of my all time favorite games - particularly for the writing and story. In that game the journey is the major part of your experience, and by the time you reach the destination it all comes together in an impactful way that balances both parts. That's a top notch achievement for a game, I think.  

I really liked this article and appreciate the effort it must take along with the pressures and the hard decisions to write so many layered stories and weave them into a cohesive non-stilted narrative. Overall I've enjoyed the ME series... aww who am I fooling? I've adored the series. I'm hopeful ME3's journey along with the final destination (eventually) are an evolution of many of its best elements.

Look forward to finding out soon anyway....

There's nothing bittersweet about this.... it's just f***ing bitter.

Ohhhh man! I can't wait for March 10th or so when these forums detonate! If those spoilers are true, it's gonna be like nothing ever before seen on these forums (that includes DA2).
