After the Harbinger laser hit. I can't take stupid pills anymore. It was at that moment when nothing made sense anymore.

* Shepard was actually buried under rubble and (dead, mortally wounded, had limb blown off, severely wounded, moderately wounded, just a flesh wound) unconscious. That's what I figure.

* From then on it went all 2001: A Space Idiocy on me, and made no sense at all.

Marauder Shields. Never forget. No more pre-orders for me.

Hold the line.

I haven't actually completed the game, I can no longer bring myself to play....


Welcome to the fleet.

I've completed it once and don't want to play again (played ME1 and ME2 serveral times).  If they fix it, then i will.  If don't fix it, i hope i can return it to best buy down the line and get my money back.

If i had known what i know now before i baught it, i never would have baught the game even though these are my favorite games of all time (bettter then the first KOTOR).

IMO, it all went wrong when Anderson beat Shepard to the crucible.

The holo kid on the citadel was where everything went wrong. Everything he says is pretty much a one-finger salute to everything that led up to the moment, like a little child stabbing holes in my apple pie(the plot) with his middle finger.

When Casper showed up and started lecturing me and I saw I had no way to tell him to take his twisted logic and chuck down the nearest black hole.

When I got hit by Harbingers beam that is when I had felt like I had 'done something wrong' - because I thought the two chars with me had been insta-killed (turns out they somehow made it back to the Normandy though).

But everything after that is pretty much salveagable... UNTIL... until you take the magic space elevator up to the hologram kid that spews plot-holes and retcons at you. -.-

Looking back the Citadel being moved to Earth is where it all starts to go wrong. What motivated the Reapers to even do that?

The moment Star Child appeared. The Anderson / TIM stuff after the Harbinger beam was a bit odd, but emotionally satisfying. Shepard and Anderson's conversation while looking out at Earth was one of the most beautiful moments in any videogame that I've played. And then... then it all went horribly wrong.

Basically, everything after Harbinger's beam. The quiet scene with Anderson and Shep after TIM dies is pretty beautiful, but even then the version that got cut from the final game is way better. When the Citadel was introduced as *another* macguffin I thought "well....alright, I can deal with that I guess". When the Reapers effortlessly moved it to Earth I thought "...okay, that's kind of weird, but I can see where they're going with this." I liked the missions on Earth RIGHT UP UNTIL THE BEAM. Everything after that point except for the Anderson scene I mentioned is a load of rubbish.

Priority: Earth was, as a whole, a huge mess from the very get-go.

Yes. I also started to feel right at that point

'something is not right here. Am I playing a Call of Duty or what?'


And then everything began to go awry.

It just kept going downhill from the moment we headed to the conduit. Not seeing my war assets in play really put me off. But it was when the stupid child's light fell on Shepard and the platform started rising I thought yeah, it is ruined.

I would have to say that I loved the game right up until the glowy elevator.

Everything up until that point was phenomenal, I think. I have never had such a surge of terror playing a game than the one I had when Harbinger hit me, and I found myself trying to rock my desk forward in an attempt to urge myself on in that slow, painful limp afterwards.

I also loved the stand-off with TIM, it felt so much like the conversation with Saren, I thought it was a very nice full-circle scene. I'm even okay with Shepard and Anderson dying, as much as it sucks. I expected it to be a one-way trip to retake Earth. It all fell apart as soon as the elevator dropped me off at the feet of the Star Child. Amazing game right up until that point.

Honestly, I would say the downward spiral started when Shepard died/resurrected at the beginning of ME2.

However, the introduction to the idea of the Crucible was rather retarded as well. I mean, really...what happened to meeting with the Volus billionaire Kumun Shol, and using him to retrieve the weapons stash inside Ploba? Instead, we get the Machina to the Star Childs Deus ex.

Seeing Kaidan walk out unharmed of the Normandy, after remembering him being with Shepard when they made that suicide run to the beam...

That EDI's "Eva platform" joined Joker aboard the Normandy to help him assist the air strike team against the reapers (if you didn't bring her along with you) can make sense.

But seeing Kaidan, completely unharmed, walking out of there? If he'd successfully made it to the beacon without any major injury, my guess is that he should be somewhere on the Citadel, trying to reach Shepard. It's not like him to suddenly decide "Screw that! I'm running back to the Normandy, and Shepard will just have to make it there, and figure that whole thing out by herself!"

So he should either be dead, or on the Citadel.

Starchild give you three choices:

1) Blow everything up with the Reaper in a red explosion
2) Blow everything up in a blue explosion with the exception of the Reapers
3) Blow everything up in a green explosion with the exception of the Reapers

Gee, a really tough choice.

When it was first learned that the Citadel was the catalyst, I thought "really? well, ok. Guess they are using the Citadel for some sort of climactic battle (though we did that already in ME1)".

Then I'm told that the Reapers have learned that Citadel was the catalyst and they had already moved it to Earth. I groaned a bit there. Why didn't they just destroy it? Why move it to Earth of all places? And they did it, just like that? No fight at all? What happened to everyone on the Citadel? It seemed kind of lame, but again I figured they just had planned on a climactic battle and wanted to use the Citadel, so, well, somewhat lame but if I get a good final battle, then OK.

Then I get to the last phase on Earth and all my team is there. I figure, cool, this is where I can rally the troops for the final big battle. Then it starts to become clear that is not the topic of my conversations with them. I start worrying that BW has gone all nihilistic on us at this point. I start worrying that the end of the game is not going to be satisfying at all. I start thinking that I have been boxed into a single ending because so far none of the plot diversity that I expected to see, based on my past decisions, seem to have occurred.

Then it came to a screeching stop. Suddenly I'm hit by a laser beam and I've lost control of the game. My first thought is "how come when I got hit by the laser beam on the Quarian home world I died, but now I seem to be walking around?". Then I discovered that I was, in fact, in a boxed in ending. I had only one choice of actions to follow. Then I see the kid-god and I'm thinking this has to be a joke. There must be some way out of this, if I go look for it. There must be some sort of climactic final battle, right? He gives me three choices, and that's it. Then all three choices turn out to be basically the same at which point I know that I've been suckered by Bioware.

Soon as the little elevator takes you up to meet the Reaper god, it all falls apart.

I'm trying to decide if when the Reaper beam hits Shep on the face and we wake up to fight the ultimate Maurauder Shields........OR.....

After Shep gets lifted out of a Sushi plate to talk to the Reaper Daddy a.k.a. Harby God-Child.

I think after either of those sequences things just got a bit weird to say the least. I was playing a different game and I was confused.
