The whole Quarian/Geth arc made me almost hate the Quarians and love the Geth


Even after that whole Quarian / Geth orgins bit, it really didn't change my mind or how I felt about either of the two races. I figured all along it was something like that and the Geth were just defending themselves. I felt they both deserved a fresh start.


Yeah honestly, after centuries of cultural war there's really no condemning either side. The origins of the war happened before a lot of the combatants GRANDPARENTS were borne. I never "hated" the Quarians, I just wanted to find a way to end the war. Partly self servingly....let's face it, two fleets for the price of one will kill a lot of reapers.

That's a good article, it was one of the first ones I read after I finished the game...still though, it's a good theory (in the beginning, I really wished it was true), now I don't think BW would go for it.

It's called logical deduction.  There's absolutely no reason you would ask how many people only among IT believers are kids other than to use any feedback offensively.

As for your pathetic threats, I could care less who you go crying to.  I doubt I'm the one they'd care about anyway after looking into it and seeing the "harassment" only takes place in one thread, a thread where you come in and insult everyone who disagrees with you.


Seriously, I've been reading this thread for over 300 pages now and I really have to agree with him. Every reply you've written to anyone not supporting IT (and even some IT supporters) have been unnecesarily agressive and really disrespectful.

You, sir, are truly a fanatic, the worst kind of IT fan. Insulting everyone that makes anything you slightly dislike won't prove IT is true in any way, and every time you feed a troll you are actually helping them.

IT is strong enough without you having to growl at every visitor who chooses not to believe it. Please stop, it's not that hard, really.

Just think i should make it clear. i did not really have problems on benning, just didn't enjoy it. i do not like to play me or any COVERBASED 3rd person shooter (rpg in this case) in a run and gun manner. just doesn't feel right. i like to proceed tactically, like knocking two guys on their asses wit concussive shot/slam/throw, while focusing on the third and/or pushing forward. On benning his was not possible due to constant backspawns.


Agreed. I still don't know how anyone got less trouble at Benning than Sanctum, but I feel exactly the same way about the run and gun crap. I seriously hate grenades in this game. They serve very little purpose other than to force you into that run and gun. And on insanity (probably hardcore too) it's OHKO. OHKOs suck ass in general.

Same here. my dream-team was Grunt/Legion. With them I felt invincible. I still can't get over the fact, that none of them was playable in ME3... It's a big loss...


Widow and Claymore. That's some terrifying backup you've got there. :) I thought the amount of ME2 characters that were playable again was atrocious. We really only had the "core" that's stuck with Shepard since the first: Garrus, Liara, and Tali. I could understand losing his team after dying and spending 2 years on a mad scientist's table... but a few months in the brig and everybody's gone? 'the hell?

Legion: No good reason he couldn't join Shepard on a few missions between the geth dreadnought and the final Rannoch mission. Also, I feel his death was pretty much just an excuse why he wouldn't be a permanent squad member. And I still don't see why he couldn't be. What, is there some rule that we can only have 1 of any alien race and EDI already had dibs on synthetic? Stupid, stupid, stupid. I want my geth BFF!
Mordin: I can kind of understand Mordin's. He couldn't join on missions because he was busy in the lab. And afterwards... well, very few veteran players had him live because you have to kill both Wrex and Eve. New players who didn't import and get that douchenozzle Wreav (I don't know about Maelon's data how that goes), well, they wouldn't really appreciate Mordin the same way anyway. Unlike Legion's, I didn't think Mordin's death was really forced. It was done beautifully and as much as I love Mordin I'd rather he got the death he truly wanted, one of atonement, than spend an extra few weeks shooting stuff with Shepard and then keel over of old age in a month.
Thane: Again, very understandable. For obvious reasons.
Jacob: I don't want that maggot back.
Miranda: I don't really understand her either. And God, I wish she'd shut the hell up. "Shepard, my father has Oriana!" "Okay, let's go get her." "Nah, it's okay." Over and over. Neurotic pain in the ass.
Jack: She was written out of it in a very nice way, but she definitely seemed to be written out. It struck me as "find a good reason Jack can't come back with Shepard" rather than "I guess if she's doing this now, she can't help Shepard."
Samara: Pretty much Jack's summary. Except the "very nice way" part.
Zaeed: ... Honestly, I just didn't care. But it's better he stays away anyway. I'm not sure the fabric of reality can handle the sheer concentrated scarrage of him and Hackett in the same room.
Kasumi: She never should've been a squad member in the second game to begin with. No offense to her fans. She's just not a fighter. It says right in her bio, she specializes in avoidance, not combat.

To be fair to the quarians, it was hundreds of years ago. I'm sure the quarians of current day had no idea how it truly played out. In fact, one of the admirals... I forget her name. Tali's aunt? I talked to her after the geth server mission once and she said how disturbing the report was, as it was nothing like what they were taught happened growing up. But the quarians of 300 years ago? Yeah, total pricks.

OK, I think we've ALL occasionally gone overboard.  However, in many cases Rifneno is only responding to the tone set by the jerk who comes in here and baselessly asserts that IT is not true without presenting any evidence.  I've seen it with waldstr18.  That guy was extremely disrespectful, and while I will not go out of my way to attack him myself, I cannot control when someone else responds to him in the same manner.  To top it all off, he acts like a jerk, and then gets mad when someone else responds in kind.  If you can't take what you're giving out, then you shouldn't behave like that.  Additionally, I've always thought of Rifneno as being more sarcastic than anything else.  Yeah, he's probably crossed a few lines, but like I said, I think we've all gotten frustrated with idiots who come in and say that IT is not true without actually presenting any evidence as to WHY they think it's not true.

The interesting part is that, there should be leftover Geth programs that survived the Morning War, since they ARE kinda immortal (software and stuff). So it is interesting, to have Geth that were in the Morning War still around.

Yeah I know many times he does that, but just as many times as he crosses the line when he needn't. Anyway, people like waldstr are pure trolls, we all know that, and I've seen people follow that guy's game for over 20 pages.

"Never argue with stupid people, they'll drag you to their level then beat you with experience." would be a nice quote.

Btw, and trying to take the topic back to IT. I've been checking Michael Gamble's tweeter for a while now, and while he says all that "DLCs are gonna be awesome" stuff, some of the things he's been sayin (I believe a screen capture was posted a while ago) seems to suggest he likes the Synthesis choice over the others. The guy is slowly killing my hopes of IT becoming true this summer.

Either that or he's just trolling and draggin away our attention. He also said he "won't be commenting any more on the ending" a few minutes ago.

Well, since Geth programs dump memory and information back to the main hubs, I wonder how many programs have ever been terminated at all. And I wonder if the newer programs that still have the memories of the younger ones count as "new". It all get's a bit confusing. They don't seem to be quite a hive mind OR individuals, exactly.

Like you I never understood why Legion couldn't be playable at least for a few side mission. IMO he's the best character Bioware came up with. I'll always remeber the mission on the derelict reaper. His loyalty mission with Grunt as squademate made me LMAO...
For the Earth mission he 'd a have been a tremendous back-up. Instead I'm stuck with either Vega or worse Ashley. Cause Liara,  Tali,or Javik really suck at pure survival fighting, while Edi doesn't have enough firepower... There is still Garrus but it's not enough...

His death wasn't necessary (the reason Bioware gave wasn't convincing a bit) and I'd loved to see him having a smooth talk with Javik :P

For Mordin: Also agree... It has IMO to end that way, his sins were big enough to be only redeemed by his own death.
Thane: Yes. But still, got killed by Kai Leng. Owww man...
Jacob: he will die in my next ME2 playthrough no matter what. Glad I made his father kills himself.
Miranda: Well, nice ass... She might be a good squad-leader, but I've always felt she's the lone wolf and has her own motives. She proves it in ME3... So it's difficult to get any sympathy for her...
Jack: Agree too. But I don't like girls with (very, very) short hair. Anyways very pleasant background and nice to have her as biotic squadmate.
Samara: I killed her... I dearly regret it now...
Ash: Never liked since ME1. And her constant, whiny complaints like "I don't know if you're still with Cerberus..:" made me kill her in The Citadel Mission in my 2nd playthrough. With no regret.
For Kasumi and Zaeed, don't know I've never played.. their DLC. Maybe I should

You know the one geth picking up the gun and Shep then saying that it looks just like Legions gun was with high probability Legion itself?
It later just got more programs added to it's platform.

This doesn't mean anything. Quarian names have just certain rules how they are built:

Simple fact that the fans have overanalyzed it, and now BW wouldn't go for it because we'd already know it.

I wish they'd do it though, get through the whole citadel/Casper spiel, then we can have a real showdown with the reapers...

You know, you might want to put that quote in your signature. (About stupid people)  As for Gamble, it is possible that he's just trolling us.  Bioware has been very flip-flopy about the endings.

That's one of the biggest lingering questions about IT, in my mind.  There has been a bunch of Bioware "hints" that Synthesis is supposed to be the "right" answer.  If they really want you to pick Synthesis, then it makes absolutely no sense in the confines of IT - since you are basically giving-in to Starkid's stupid recommendation.

But, if that's the case, WHY make Destroy the only one that gives Shepard any chance of living?

Yeah, Synthesis is giving in to the Reapers.  I'm wondering if Bioware is trying to contribute to the indoctrination as well by telling us the follow the wrong path.  You know, they're testing us to see if we'll stick to our convictions.

Yeah I know many times he does that, but just as many times as he crosses the line when he needn't. Anyway, people like waldstr are pure trolls, we all know that, and I've seen people follow that guy's game for over 20 pages.

"Never argue with stupid people, they'll drag you to their level then beat you with experience." would be a nice quote.

Btw, and trying to take the topic back to IT. I've been checking Michael Gamble's tweeter for a while now, and while he says all that "DLCs are gonna be awesome" stuff, some of the things he's been sayin (I believe a screen capture was posted a while ago) seems to suggest he likes the Synthesis choice over the others. The guy is slowly killing my hopes of IT becoming true this summer.

Either that or he's just trolling and draggin away our attention. He also said he "won't be commenting any more on the ending" a few minutes ago.


You know, you might want to put that quote in your signature. (About stupid people)  As for Gamble, it is possible that he's just trolling us.  Bioware has been very flip-flopy about the endings.

I think it's a dangerous game. The situation is enough ambiguous as it is now. No need to add more confusion.... I don't know, if they're aware that they are playing their neck with this DLC...

I thought rightaway that Synthesis was supposed to be the "ideal" ending. You need the highest EMS and it's in the middle of the 3 choices. But it still sucks, as an idea.
