Well, they succeeded with that. Lots of people with feelings. Not sure if those are the feelings that writers wanted though.

I'm so confused and disheartened.

I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was just rushed because they needed it released before the end of the financial quarter, with enough time to gauge reaction, and then move to remedy the situation afterwards with an excellent paid DLC package.

But seriously? Most of this was intentional?

I suppose they've succeeded in one respect, I do feel certain emotions.

Rage. Anger. Disappointment. Despair. Hate. Confusion.

groan. And now they're rolling out the "We did it for the kids!" stuff. Next we'll hear that a cancer patient told them that they really liked the idea of subplots that were fundamentally similar differing only in the color of the lighting.

Can we get confirmation on this before we explode in a furious frothing frenzy of fan fanaticism?

why would you even listen to a 7th grader. He is not even supposed to play it.

That is so  6th dimensional  nonsense... that is just  bonehead beyond belief...  why would  you even as writer do that... it goes against every establish rule of good writing  EVER.    

My god this is such a failure of step 1 it makes no sense.. good writing  first then move to more complex themes.

Because Walters is not particulary a good writer, personaly I feel he is one of the worst writers Bioware has on staff and I have no reason why he is lead on anything.

If those certain feelings were "disappointment" and/or "anger" then mission accomplished I guess.

In the name of all German ME-Fans I'd like to say: Sorry for this kid, but we will take care of him...

Hmm...now I guess that sounds quite menacing when written by a german...

Whodathunk that taking an ending from a 7th grader as inspiration would be a complete failure?

Maybe I'll start hanging around middle schools for business ideas. Wait...that sounded bad didn't it?

I'm pretty sure people have done it many times before, with that little note that ends with Lots of Speculation From Everyone.
