Tried to break this up, so it would be easier to read.

Your topic misuses singular and plural words, Mr. Literature Major.

Grammar is not important on a forum, nor is singular language. In fact the old english dialect removes the imperfects and singulars alltoghether.

He is here to express to us a point, he isn't writing a college paper to be presented to a university. It's a basic over view for the forums. It's very appreciated and helps explain the issues we all have in other words.

Also, sorry for the format. I like typing on Word for longer ordeals and it does not transition well.

Great add to the topic..............NOT
Oh and his name was not literature major so they should not have been capitalized nor should their be a Mr. there.

On topic:  Great write up.  Well thought out.

honestly at this point in time i want to side on the "Indoctrination" theory, as nothing else makes sense at all...except the torch and run theory...to me that is the only thing that holds water showing me that this might indeed be intended... and final...

Hold the Line

A great read and I agree with the quoted paragraph and pretty much everything else.

This is very intelligent and well thought out. We are all still in shock as to why Bioware did this. I don't hate the ending with all my heart but I do agree that it pretty sums to not really making a sense at all. Now if only Mac Walters would read your post and think about this for a very, very long time.

Totally nailed. Have you ever considered to start a study on the Mass Effect ending phenomena? I think it's really a good topic for literature research.

The grammar is not the point. I agree with the OP.

If your professor likened it to the ending of The Sopranos, it really wasn't that scathing an attack. Many people see the brilliance of the way that programme ended, and is still talked about.

Regarding “torch the franchise and run”, I didn't even know that this existed anywhere outside of the paranoid side of my brain. 0_0

Dear god, what have you done, BioWare?

Regarding formating: The easiest solution that I've found it to edit the forum post and start a the bottom line. You'll backspace from before and last word of that line to clear the line break. You may need to hit space again to split the last word for the next line up and the first word of the line you were backspacing from.
