[Hunter of Legends]

I'm seeing stark contrasts with Bioware (specifically upper echelons) and it's fans. On one hand we are unhappy about the ending for a variety of reasons (most which fall under the lack of following through with promises of closure and VARIETY) and Bioware with sending mixed messages and seemingly empty words.

I also see similarities to many other things in life; the biggest and most famous to us of the North Americas  is the American Revolution.

"WHATS THIS NONSENSE?" I'm sure many of you, fan and Bioware alike will say. "How can you compare War to fan outcry to a video game?" you might think. Because the war was caused from similar reasons. Now, I am not saying this outcry is akin to war; nor is it equal to a loss of life but the repercussions and fallout from this event and how it is handled will be akin to World War for video games.

"Why is this like the causes of the American Revolution?" The biggest reason was that British leadership did not understand American colonist feelings and sentiment; they didn't "get" them. They sent mixed messages and "punished" them for their outcry This in turn caused improper action to be done to the Americans and rightfully placed outcry to those actions to occur which led to war.

"But Hunter; what does a history lesson have to do with video games?" EVERYTHING. History repeats itself; even in seemingly alien and unrealted areas. Here the situation is no different. The fans are displeased, have shown why they are displeased and yet what I see is very...unsettling. They have sent confused and mixed messages to EVERYONE' and the fans continue to show their displeasure at Bioware. I have come to find Bioware the best storytellers in the market, and the most caring for their VERY UNPLEASABLE AND FICKLE fanbase. This inaction and confused response could lead to even more anger and displeasure and the destruction of not only this community but possibly the fall of Bioware*.

Now I myself actually liked the endings, but from a fan and consumer standpoint I am not liking the responses we have gotten nor do I like the talltale signs of the storm to come.

In the end, this is simply my input; and why should you care? Because I have seen such a great schism happen before. It happend to Bungie and it will happen again. If Bioware truely cares AND the fans truely care we will continue the dialogues but ABOVE ALL we will continue to be honest and open to one another.  If we are to solve this problem for all; we must discuss on BOTH SIDES. But I digress; a view words from someone such as I won't change either sides viewpoints. I simply wanted to get a view words out in a more "neutral" and more constructive way than simply saying "This is bad" or "I dislike you".

Now discuss away; call me a fool; call me a genius. But don't forget the rich, wonderful stories we have and remember that this community isn't just for the fans, but for ALL who enjoy great stories and fun times.

Be safe, be well and be nice.
