Oh heaven's to Betsy! *this time using Annie Wilkes voice*
@Renmiri - How much I love your Thane "smexy-time" in Second Life. I don't play, but glad to see you are attempting to populate the SL world with many, many Thanes.....this is a good thing! <w_i_d_e/grin>

Hey Moira!
Not Ray - CASEY.  Ray tweeted yesterday about poker, and Casey replied to a letter sent by the HTL community. 
They are BOTH alive!

Hmmm...so he listens to feedback. I think I'm going to hit him with my newest round of wants. I want a ME3.5. I want an alternate storyline, one where Shepard not only has to save the darned galaxy but Cerberus has really messed with her. I want TIM to abduct all the ME2 squaddies and it's a mad rush to save them from indoctrination. The price of failure and being too slow, you will have to fight them. I want the fights hard. If I fail to get to Thane in time, I want him to put a serious hurtin' on my Shep. I don't want Shepard being the Alliance's puppet either. She has a choice act as an Alliance soldier or a Spectre. This way I can choose whether I am stuck with Vega or not. They can give me 7 squadmates but I want to choose them myself. It's a war and I feel Shepard should get who she feels is best at her side. Choose wisely though, once you lock in your choice, you are stuck with it. Your choices come from saving your squadmates. Oh yeah and Thane lives long enough to make it to the end at least. I'd still take Javik. They can go make that game and then maybe, just maybe I'll shut up.

I like this. In my one and only play-through of ME3, I kept waiting for Cerberus to throw everything they had at Shephard.  And then...

/crickets

I was like...wtf?  I mean, Shep just stole their ship, employees, and not to mention herself, from TIM, and....nothing.  At least, as far as I can remember, lol.  I also expected alot more plot along the lines of exposing who TIM really is, exposing more about Cerberus, since that's discussed in ME2 quite frequently, but again...nothing.

Then there's the fact that half of Shep's ME2 team, who I refer to as the Dirty Dozen (Kasumi+Zaeed), drop off the face of the planet.  We get little snippets of them here and there, but half of them are doing there own thing, and apparently aren't interested in helping Shephard save the galaxy anymore.  W.T.F.

Then, of course, there is Thane, who has gone bipolar on us, and is only too happy to die now.  Again, wtf?

/end rant

I know!!  But that's because of this:

"Hey, you, ME fan - look over here!  Something shiny and new!  That's right, Multiplayer!!  What?  Story and plot issues?  No flushing out of backstories or filling in blanks?  Um....look!  Over here!  MP!! 
It's NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEWWWW!!Posted ImagePosted Image  Shush about SP...MP is over HHHEEEERRREEE!"

Posted Image Not. Cool. BW.

There were so many characters that were out of whack I didn't even enjoy most of the game.  TIM and Cerberus are just off, and then we know what happened to Thane...Tink stepped in.Posted Image  Thane is on vacay with Shep Posted Image

Hey wait Utaker TIM can't abduct all the ME2 squadmates. At least not Samara, because if your a jerk and all you'll have to fight her because The Code will demand her to kill Shep. After all that scumbag Casey seemed to say that was the direction they were going with Samara, in a long lost saved interview document I got and just discovered a few days ago, gotta go look for it and find which External Hard Drive it was stashed on but still.

Also Unless you sold Legion to Cerberus I think he'd be safe back in Geth space TIM don't seem to have the balls to go into such alien territory, when was the last time he went and had people in Batarian Space? When did he last touch Batarins? He's always butchering humans.

Also think Mordin being STG could give TIM a bit of a hard time getting Mordin.

Kasumi, Zaeed, and Jack and especially Miranda, Jacob, all humans TIM would have no problem getting them.

Also I want to have the choice to have my ME2 Crew back with me at the start of the game, Kelly, Ken & Gabby, Chakwas, Joker, and pick up Steve too.
Screw Samantha she should have been a punishment for those who got Kelly killed in ME2.

Another person I think TIM would have a hard time getting is Grunt and Wrex Korgan don't go easily and they seem the type to die before being taken alive.

Another thing I can' imagine Samara ever getting herself into being capture. It's just so not her, she's the ultimate bad@ss in ME, and she'd kick anyones @ss no problem, she's one tough chick. Is it odd that I find her super badassness and toughness hot? If so to hell with you people who hate the thought that woman can be strong and kick @ss just as good and better than men. 

Yeah I'd like to fight some of my old friends who became indoctrinated, MY VS  Ash seems like a appealing idea, someone I like am close too, and would cringe and have a hard time pulling the trigger and fighting even if she was indoctrinated.

Miranda haha I'd have no problem doing that, infact My Shep considered shooting her many times and never got to tell her if she didn't fallow his orders he's have no problem killing her, because HE IS NOT WITH CERBERUS, and therefore this is not a Cerberus operation if anyone don't like it they can k!ss his ass.

the one characters I'd have a really hard time with Thane, Jack, and Garrus and Wrex, Ashley, Kelly, Anderson, of course I'd go out of my way and let everyone else die to save Samara, I think I would, it may just be too hard to let so many die for Samara, I think I could do it, maybe not and Samara may have to kill me if I saved her and let Ashley, Garrus, Thane, Jack, Wrex, Kelly, Ken and Gabby die to save her. I'd be gutted over something like that.

Did I mention how mad I was when in ME3 Miranda died and my Shep started telling her she was his best friend and he'd never met anyone like her? Yeah I screamed at my TV over that stupid Auto-dialogue, he was more emotional about her than Thane and acted like he loved her, are at lease seemed to show more love to her than the only one he really Loves Samara.:wub::wub:

My Shep was so ready when he had her restrained preventing her from killing herself to just steal a kiss right there, he's ballsy like that, he was tired of hiding and ignoiring his feelins for her. He'd just nearly watched her off herself, time to take a kiss from her, right there in front of Falere, in front of Garrus and Liara (whom I took along to see if she's have any snide comments almost rival like fighting for my Shep).

While were adding a list My Shep don't care about Earth he''s never once been there before he could give a sh!tless about if the Reapers harvest and destory Earth. He'd let Earth die and Save Kar'shan , he'd let Earth die before any other homeworlds. He's odd like that he's seen more evil from humans than anyother species.

Save the Batarian homeworld Kar'Shan and let Earth fall doing so, suddenly the Batarians are no long outcasts and I'm gonna go save the Coucil with an Army of Batarians, Krogan, Geth, and Rachni, haha Coucil now you all owe them the respect and gratitude you've denyed them all.
Rub your faces in it haha everyone would be happy, well except maybe some humans but really if Hackett has a problem with Earth falling as a Spectre my Shep could come up with a good enough reason to beat the living hell out of the that thunder stealling glory hog.

@renmiri - LOVE your Thanes!  Too bad I don't play

Did anyone see Jessica's response to receiving two #FindMiranda posters from the HTL community?  She basically said that it's her job to make sure she knows what the fans want, and she would prefer they save their money :)  It was a well-written, nice post.  Plus she acknowledged that she got them!  Posted Image

That's totally awesome! I wasn't aware.

Tell me about it.  MP is where I seriously start to rant.

If BW/EA wants to do multiplayer, then fine.  I won't argue that there are plenty of people out there that wanted it and like it.

HOWEVER.

The implementation of MP should not have come at the cost of anything in SP.  ME is historically a SP game, and it has a large SP audience.  That audience expected the same caliber of SP game they got in the first 2 installments, not the shoddy product we actually received.  The ME3 budget should have been equivalent to or greater than the ME2 budget, and if EA wanted to force MP onto everyone, the budget to make that happen should have been above and beyond. 

If they wanted it, they should have to pay for it, and not at the expense of SP.

In addition, nothing in SP should be influenced by ANYTHING in MP.  MP should be optional.  You should still be able to experience the full scope of the story in SP.  No secret things accessible in SP only if you've played some MP.  That's complete horsesh*t in my book.

I have no knowledge, mind you, of what the budget for the 2 games was, but it sure seems like they spent a hell of alot less on SP in ME3 in order to provide us with the shiny new MP option.

Fark that sh*te.

TIM could abduct them all if we were treated with the Kai Leng from the books. Regardless of the cartoon character we got, he was quite capable of pulling off abductions. He also had no problem sending Leng into Omega, having Cerberus infiltrate the Flotilla, if he wanted something done bad enough, he managed to get it done.

Being a jerk has nothing to do with fighting them, it is dependent on how fast you get there or don't get there. If one chooses to have their Shepard ignore certain people, that is their choice and their game to play. Have them all unlockable in the first act, if you don't do it by say the middle of the second then they have become indoctrinated and you can't save them. What I want is not stuff inserted into what we have now which is why I said alternate. Can anyone, no matter how tough they are be knocked out or killed? Yes, they can even the almighty Shepard who walks around the Citadel like there is nothing wrong. One good sniper, like Thane, up in the rafters and a perfectly executed head shot would equal a dead Shepard. Trust me there were times where I wished Thane would snipe Shepard out.

Wow! This is so positive and beautful! :) Are they celebrating destroying the reapers? That would be perfect ending... damn it, I want such a happy ending...

Edit:
@ utaker, please become a writer for BioWare's future games... I like your ideas.:)

Seriously good idea utaker and Vlk. Why wouldn't the galaxy celebrate the end of the Reapers? And why wouldn't TIM try to hit Shepard where it hurt?

So many lost opportunities in lieu of MP. Stupid. Just bloody stupid.

And I'm just dropping in to say that there are still some missions available for the photo album project, so please go along and choose which one you'd like, if you'd like to take part. People are welcome to do more than one mission (especially, though not necessarily, with different Sheps). I have received photos for quite a few missions already and they really look great!

I love that pic...although everytime I picture fireworks with my Thane and Shep it isn't quite like that. I guess it goes to show that not everyone takes everything innocent and turns it into smut.

Oh yeah the missions and traveling Thane..need to go check up on those. I think the hot weather melted my brain.

BeanieBat, later I will check my saves and then sign up for another mission with my second Shep. :)
Im in love with that picture above already. It's full of joy and love, just amazing.

I have to admit though that I wanted ME3 to be more dramatic. I mean a lot of "Virmire type" choices, so that you will never have everyone alive, each playthrough would be more unique then. Of course every death would be optional, you can always save someone that you care for the most. I heard rumours before ME3 that you will have to make choice between saving PAlaven or Thessia and that will affect your relationship with Garus and Liara. I spent some time then wondering, what would I choose. I like difficult choices. I wouldn't mind sacrificing someone to save Thane (but not Kolyat or for example a lot of people- I think Thane would be mad at Shepard). In a DLC, where we would get a cure for Thane, I'd like to have a choice (not paragon/renegade). I can imagine some different scenarios, that would provide such a choice and that would be still enjoyable for players, who don't want "a miracle cure".

I probably should have said that there's no real rush for the photo album - have a summer student at the moment so have been pretty busy myself. I just thought it would be nice to have the mission list as full as possible so I can figure out what size photo album to buy and get started making the cover etc while people have time to gather screenies/photos.

So basically, if you don't have time right now but would like to take part, then you can go ahead and choose a mission and I promise I won't immediately start pestering you for the photos! =P

This is rather nasty, just thought I'd warn before I said it, I use to care about asking for a miracle cure and not wanting others offended over it but I don't care anymore what others will think. Put in a miracle cure and let them whine. Why do I no longer care? Because I'm tired of those same people constantly saying we are wrong for wanting him to live, telling us to deal with it or get over it as it was fitting for Thane. They don't care enough to actually do the romance, check the differences or actually read what the issues are then I don't care enough to concede by saying "I don't want a miracle cure." They think that just because we romanced a man who said he was dying it is ok to squash on our feelings and say hurtful things then I no longer care if a miracle cure ruffles their panties.  

IDGAF if the starchild comes flying through the window riding a my little pony, waves a magic wand shaped like a giant lollipop and cures Thane at this point. I'd probably just laugh and wonder when they hired Cheech and Chong.

And oh yeah....

Very well said! I get pissed when people say stuff like that will Samara, "She doesn't want to be with you , deal with it" or "Her code wont let her". Cant stand that sh*t, and none of it is true. So I feel your pain, just keep up the good fight and dont mind those shallow people who take stuff at face value.

Absolutely, utaker! You know, I think the thing that pissed me off the most? Seeing a REPEAT of Thane's LOTSB letter to Shep in the email after he died in ME 3. I was like, W T F?! ***hats couldn't even create NEW content?

All the ME 2 squaddies (who weren't in ME 1) got screwed on the romance to some degree over ME 1 LI's. But Thane's... just burns my nuggets the most(probably because I never romanced Jacob).

One thing I do think we might see in this EC is proper romanced character flashbacks at the end. Certainly they've had time to cut out pics for everyone and stick them into the proper file by now. Seeing Thane's face flash at the end would be great. It won't make me like the end or care about the game or BW, but it would be nice AND it's something I feel safe expecting.
