An episode of “Hoarders” recently sent me into a neurotic frenzy of cleaning. While sorting through a pile of crap I found a copy of “Game Informer” I bought for its cover story on Mass Effect 3, dated from around this time last year. Because I’m a masochist I decided to re-read the article to see what was being said about a year ago. I’ve cherry-picked a few passages I thought were funny in hindsight.
 
From a section entitled THE PLAN:
 
“In Mass Effect 3, you know you need to take back Earth, but the path to victory is less clear at the outset. You won’t just find some long-lost Reaper “off” button; says Hudson”
 
From a section called OLD CONFLICTS, NEW ALLIES:
 
“Don’t expect to win the loyalty of the galaxy by simply completing a series of fetch quests,”
 
This is a text block entitled MASS EFFECT MEETS MULTIPLAYER?
 
“When the teaser for Mass Effect 3 first released, rumours were swirling that the project was actually a multiplayer title set in the Mass Effect universe. Those rumours turned out to be false, but it got many gamers thinking about how a multiplayer component would fit into the Mass Effect trilogy. Rest assured, the team has thought about this, too. “As a single-player experience, and just as a world that people want to immerse themselves in and share, we’ve been trying to think of a way that makes sense for people to experience Mass Effect with their friends,” says executive producer Casey Hudson. “We haven’t yet come up with a way to do that, so we don’t have anything to announce at this time. But, obviously, multiplayer is something we want to do more of in the future as a company.”
 
In a section called BEYOND THE TRILOGY:
 
“… part of what you’re trying to do is save the universe so you can live in it. That’s part of the promise, I think, for any great IP. It has to be a world worth saving… I think Mass Effect has that quality to it. If you get rid of the Reapers and win that, wouldn’t it be amazing to just live on the Citadel or just take a ship to Omega? That makes sense.”

Oof.

Though I guess he's technically right; Shepard does (potentially) get to live on the Citadel!  :wizard:

It's issue 217, May 2011.

But yeah, Casey Hudson completely lied to us. The key to winning was to build a Reaper off switch in part by playing countless hours of multiplayer to get your galactic readiness up and in the process, destroy the Mass Effect Universe where you can't just live on the Citadel or travel to Omega.

ARRRRRRG!! EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Every time I spend some time looking around the forums for news, someone has to discover something that makes the endings WORSE! It's infuriating! And it never stops getting worse!

"Welcome to the citadel"

"Hey, whats in that room over there"

"Oh that? Its nothing, just a closet. Just don't go shooting any pipes in there though, you might just instantly destroy all synthetics in the galaxy and cause all the mass relays to explode."

"Oh...."

I think we need to hold an intervention and get Hudson in to see a specialist. It's like he's incapable of telling the truth. Almost every direct statement he has made about ME 3 over the last year has been almost the exact opposite of what he says. It has to be an illness.

Oh dear. What's the date on this magazine? [EDIT: May 2011] Could they really still not have written the overall story at that point? I guess it makes sense - the various alliance building missions and story are great, and the Crucible parts are dopey. Maybe the dopey parts were all written much later on.

So HOW did they end up with the ending they finally got?

They knew what kind of finish was required, and how to get there...
