Pat Weekes just tweeted these two things.

Who the hell is using Weekes to attack other devs. Cause that's downright scummy. Patrick took time out to answer questions and people are using that to attack others? Ugh.

It has occured to me, has anyone, oh I don't know, maybe ASKED Weekes what he thought of the endings?

Okay. So this got kinda buried but...if reapers are like geth, and exist as digital entities, breaking free of indoctrination could really HURT them. An event for them doesn't have to be physical to be "real." And there's your IT affecting the real world. Harbinger just got shot in the mind.
Also, a thought: if I, personally, was actually given those three options? Pick control. Make reapers kill each other. Geth saved, galaxy saved, woot.[/quote]
If Synthesis was real, I would have chosen that... I always thought Saren was right in his flawed reasoning... and while my reasoning would still be flawed, if I knew Synthesis would work, I would chose that... if not... Control, gotta keep the Geth and Galaxy alive!
Also, I have a very high interest in replaying ME3 to see if the IT is really true, I got the feeling that he was actually dreaming/dead when he got hit by the laser but it became to religious thinking that the Catalyst was god ... but anyway IT is the only way to get the ending to make sense...

For that I direct you to my early draft of my ending script for the concept you have illustrated;

All the endings will be "real endings" IT will probably be the red one with blue and green being "real" in their own way. That way there is no "canon" ending.
But that's just my perspective[/quote]
My only argument with that is they said they want to make more games. so if there are three seporate outcomes they couldn't be set after the events of me3. Well then again as the endings stand they can't do that either so...yeah.

Sure they can- either make it in the far future or in a local sector. If you establish it in a section of space where standard FTL is sufficient to get you from A to B, you've got plenty of opportunity to keep going. Just fill in what's going on in the 'rest of the galaxy' via your save game decisions. If you go far future you build in 10,000 years of time for the writiers to twist the galaxy to their will.
But however they slice it, I imagine the previews, triailers, etc., of any sort of ME4 would reveal enough of the universe to let those that are bitter with the current resolution decide if that galaxy is a palce they want to visit.

If they go this route (which I don't think they will), they'd have to adopt some form of canon ending, because simply put, the ramifications of Synthesis are WAAAAAAY too damn big. Morever, restricting you to one area of the galaxy eh? What does that sound like? *coughda2cough*

The thing that's really driving me nuts about IT is that if this were nearly any other industry, I'd just be assuming it's true at this point. That's coming from a narrative/publishing background.(yes, I mention it a lot, but I do have one and it's where a lot of my thoughts come from.) IT is what the narrative flow leads to. It's what the narrative supports.
But unlike books there's so much OTHER STUFF involved here. TWO game companies, a team of writers, the thing where he did the endings in secret, revised scripts....Gahhhhhh. This is so much easier in book publishing! There's one author usually! One! With mass effect it feels like there's all these big hands groping around in the story structure and I don't know what to make of it.[/quote]
Ever heard the phrase "Too many cooks spoil the broth"?
Have patience man, Bioware is the king of videogame plot twists. I hope.

So folks, what did I miss today? Anything good?[/quote]
Well.. I have hope again personally. As for my reasons why, I direct you here;
http://social.biowar...1353/1#11221491 [/quote]
I'm 99% certain that those were the original ones too, as they're what the CE guide lists as the ending choices.[/quote]
Which leaves us with the question of; WHY THE HELL THEN WOULD YOU WRITE THEM OUT!?!?
