I like all these people that say FTL still exist.

The destroy ending leaves Reapers, Geth, Mass Relays, and EDI all destroyed...so how do you figure FTL was left unharmed?

So I assume you believe we go at sub-light speeds when travelling from star system to star system in any given cluster?

Drew Karpyshyn back, that would be great, thanks.

He wrote ME1 -2, and wrote three amazing books on the game.

Someone else writes the book, they had to go back and correct it.

Someone else writes the game, they should go back and correct it.

Anyone else seeing the infulence on what one good writer gone does? Cause I sure as hell do.

"Also while we are at it lets just go to all the truly loyal fans, you know the ones have been with us since the very beginning, and just punch them in the face as hard as possible. We will call the new game "Mass Effect: Vengeance to the fans. I know guys I'm a terrific writer don't tell me."

I have a feeling the control ending is going to be the ending used going forward, the mass relays look like they stay mostly intact but are inactive, EDI and other similar technology is still around.
Fast forward a couple hundred years and the galaxy has either found a way to re-power the relays or work out some other way to get around quickly and boom, new series.

I HEARD THE WORD EA!!!

MY EA RADAR WENT OFF...

That word burns my soul... please no more saying it.

It's a work of twisted briliance that can take over a hundred hours of loving playtime for my favorite series ever and make me not to want ever touch it again. How they managed to do this in only 10 mintues is such a feat that I didn't think it was possible.

 Well, he might be looking forward to it, but I'm definitely not going to buy it.

[Thalorin1919]

I like how you guys blame EA for all the problems.

First, ME2 and Dragon Age: Origins were made under the rule of EA and those were both great games.

Second, all of you admit that ME3 was fantastic till the 'Oh my god, I didn't see MY SUPER PERSONAL DEMANDING ENDING' moment at the very end.

When I read all of your comments, I envision myself as Javik frowning down at these fecal matter slinging beings.

On Mac Walter's twitter: "Really looking forward to the future of the Mass Effect franchise after the ME3 endings." 

Well one thing you have to be excited about if I guess your taking over someone elses world.  If you wipe out everything you start with a blank slate.   Honestly I am not sure why I should be excited about this since in this Brave New World the only thing that I would count on is Inevitability.

I think its time to walk away from this.  Honestly every time someone reports something that was said on twitter by one of the people who brought us this wounded masterpiece and this abomination of an ending I get angrier.  I am just going to leave it at this.  You don't save a village by burning it to the ground.  You don't build a world by burning the foundations either.

The franchise, that's nice. Like I'd want anything to do with it after ME3, I'm not interested in more MP and I certainly do not care to play anything that has to do with a prequel. Why? I know that all my choices will be negated with that craptastic ending. Even if they placed the game thousands of years in the future, can I trust them to not end it like they did 3? I think not.

[MandatoryDenial1]

sorry double post

The issue isn't what I believe the issue is what all damage was done by the Catalyst.  It killed Reapers, Geth, and EDI...how do you know with conviction that things like FTL, and Omni Tools even still work.  We don't know cause we have no answers.  Til we get answers it's all theory of what they do or don't have anymore.  I just find it hard to believe that FTL and Omni exist when we know Geth aren't Reaper design they were created by Quarians.  EDI was created by Cerberus as just a VI.  So obviously the effect was very widespread amongst technology.

Doesn't the Catalyst say that only the mass relays and all synthetic life will be destroyed?

[MotorWaffle]

Well well, look at that, EA take over, ME gets a new writer, and now instead of taking care of each and every detail in the game as in the previous ones, they try to give us new excuses to keep miliking the series instead of ending it dramatically and epically as they should have done.
Way to go, you have murdered one of the best trilogys around. How could you?

What future???

The post-Reaper, post-Relay future where organic and/or synthetics live, obviously.

A series about the re-connection of the galaxy would fit well.

The relays are gone,

Can be rebuilt.

everyone is stranded,

FTL still exists.

Joker and the crew are not fighting for Earth for some reason.

That one is odd.

Everything is ruined.

And ready to be rebuilt.

How can he even talk about the future??

How can there be a future after any cataclysmic event?

By the survivors regrouping, rebuilding, and recovering.

This has too much fail for me to tackle that I don't even want to. Must be a troll for how little he understands mass effect canon.

Since I quite agree with Dean's post, I for one would be most appreciative if you could see your way through to enlightening (apparently) both of us.

Wow. You people, and the majority of the forum it seems, are so closed minded and negative. Could they have done the endings better? Yeah, they could have. For the "destroy" ending they could have made the explosion thing more delayed as the Citadel slowly crumbles, and you get enough time to escape the Citadel and be rescued by an awaiting normandy -- provided your EMS is high enough.

However, now that the Mass Relays are gone, every species is going to have discover how to FTL to other clusters. Many planets are now multicultural. There are Asari, Quarians, Turians, and etc. on Earth. Perhaps the dextros will find a way to synthesize dextro chirality food. The Krogan don't have females, but they also seem nearly impervious to death from old age. Earth will rebuild into a multicultural society. You have other planets which are now the same. Human and alien populations isolated from each other. You know what I smell? A brand new IP set in the future with tech that is roughly equivalent to ME tech... but entirely different. It's an opportunity to redo the future-action RPG from another angle.

Yes. The endings pave the way to new games. Was it the only way? No. It could have been done much more elegantly. But, I will buy the new game title, when/if it comes out. And nearly all of you will too. You're all having childish fits. But don't kid yourself. When you see that epic trailer and epic release anouncement, you will squeal like a school girl and throw all your money at EAware yet again.

A prequel story wouldn't work because all your decisions would be as pointless as the OME trilogy.

And yet Shepard, who apparently counts as synthetic life, survives only in the Destroy ending. <_<

I'm inclined to say that FTL is still an option, but the endings are such nonsense that you're better off headcanoning the whole thing

Relays cannot be rebuilt, even the protheans were at the height of understanding mass relay technology, but vigil specifically stated that they had barely scratched the surface of understanding how it works. Not to mention the relays were built by the reapers.

FTL forces people to travel for CENTURIES, yes CENTURIES to get anywhere that would take seconds via mass relay, it is not a viable option unless you're traveling short distances. This is specifically stated in Mass Effect's codex.

You're right Joker not being on Earth is odd. Actualy I take it back it's not odd, it makes no goddam sense.

Everything can be rebuilt? No. Everything cannot be rebuilt. Ignoring the fact that with the mass relays gone any humanitarian effort will be obstructed to any other planet, everyone is now stuck on Earth. What can they do? Earth was one of the first planets to be attacked, it NEEDS assistance from other planets, but good luck getting it withou the relays. 

Survivors regrouping and rebuilding? Now this is just grasping for straws. Refer to previous comment about Earth not having what it needs to "rebuild".

You're making assumptions, just like the rest of us here.  It's all we have at the moment.  Even if 50% of the people claiming they won't buy again actually follow through, it will be a good sized group.

I just hope people here actually take action and post on the twitter pages of the writers and devs.  It's safe to say they don't read these forums, just like i'm sure whatever company you work for has a facebook page that no one at the company reads.

FTL might still exist but the game was pretty clear that even with FTL it would take decades to travel between the closest stars, so Mass Relays were absolutely essential.

And Mass Relays can't be rebuilt because no one really knows how they work.
