Okay here is a question that I don't think has been addressed. One the complaints I have seen made here about the ending of ME3 is that our choices do not really matter in the end. No matter how high your Paragon/Rengade score you can't appeal to the AI God Star Child, you have to choose an option he is offering you.

So my question is do you think BioWare should just cut the charade and offer us a close ended game. You go in knowing there would only be one ending. There can still be the journey: individual choices in mission, LI's fr those who want to pursue etc. However in the end there is one ending, there never any promise of control.

Could BioWare survive making a game like this or is one of their greatest strengths promising a branching storyline.


In my opinion after seeing ME3 not deliver on the range of control that was hinted at for the ending I feel they should go with a new structure. It is sad to say but if they don't raise my expectations so high it makes it harder for BioWare to fail them.

I think they should make endings. There was no ending in Mass Effect 3. What happened to all the people stranded in the different systems? How will galactic civilization resume without the Mass Relays and Citadel?

I'd like to see some resolution.

ME3 was a 'close-ended' game though, so clearly that's what they're doing. That's how DA2 was as well.

Well should they stop falsely advertising this then?

Yes, they should stop falsely advertising it as open ended.

NO...

What they need to do is to KEEP THEIR ORIGINAL WRITER with them rather than letting them go, and if they want to go DON'T MAKE A SEQUEL, PERIOD.

By the way, I'm not raging at you OP, just... overall expressing my opinion with my depressed-from-ME3-ending feelings. I think BioWare is a good development studio. The issue with Mass Effect overall is that after ME1 someone else wrote the story EVEN IF the original writer supposedly "CO-WROTE" with the new one, it still shows anyhow.

I think they should stop falsely advertising this aspect and any other aspect they claim will be included and isn't...lying is bad.

But here's the thing: There was one ending in ME1, there was one ending in ME2 (ok, two if you include Shep dying but whatever) Granted, your actions affected various things, like who's alive, but the end is more or less the same regardless. But in ME3, the end just...sucks.
