I find it ironic that Walters' twitter account is @macwalterslives. Why is he the only person involved with the Mass Effect story who gets that privilege?  I mean, all the characters die.

Mac walters answered this on Twitter. He said that a bunch of people managed to evacuate as the Reapers came, but anyone who was left onboard died.

Source please.

So the Citadel did blow up? So the indoctrination stuff isn't true?

Can we truly believe him?  After all he's done so far?

So Jacob was killed on Twitter or what?

If my memory doesn't fool me you could communicate with Jacob near the end and he told you that he and others are "holding the line" on the Citadel?

The optimistic side is seriously hoping it's just a farse or a ruse. Then again, maybe my optimism is the true farse or ruse.

God, I hate this BS. I want the whole story IN THE GAME, not on Twitter or comics or books.

Yep.... I really don't like Mr Walters

Am I the only one who thinks the term "Bad Times" is pretty vague? I mean having your home jumped halfway across the galaxy by reapers and then being trapped inside it while dead bodies are piled up all around you could also be called "bad times"

For all the reaper presence on Earth, the codex says that 2 million people are killed on Earth in a single day. It seems unlikely that they manage to wipe out the millions and millions of people that live on the citadel during that time as well.

 My thoughts on this particular Mac Walters tweet: social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/355/index/10866056/3#10877150

 I like my idea that the people on Citadel are fighting the Reapers even as it had been moved. Also, if you did the Citadel missions it has an impact at how well they are holding against them. Check it out.

Hard to evacuate 11 million people. We can assume Bailey would never leave the Citadel, with earth burning and not knowing anything of his family this is where he makes his last stand.

Having to explain your story through twitter...This hurts me.

[CYRAX470]

All those fetch quests...for nothing.

[clarkusdarkus]

this is getting just boring now, for the love of god make the endings that tie with the choices that were promised, stop trying to be clever with this twitter snorefest.

Yet another example of information that should have been in the damned game itself, not revealed on some guy's twitter page (regardless of whether or not said guy is a developer, producer, writer or director who worked on the game).

Yep. The capture of the citadel was an immersion breaking and arbitrary plot hole unto itself, without adding arbitrary Twitter-death to the count.

• How did they take the Citadel so easily?
• If it was so easy, why only take the Citadel now? After 6 months of mucking about on Earth/Palaven/etc
• Why didn't they use the citadel to take control of the relay network... you know, like they did the last gazillion cycles?
• Honestly, why bother moving it to earth? It's not like they can't just move a whole bunch of them to it?
• So how does all the effort Shepard went to bolstering C-Sec's defenses and helping the NPCs on it actually matter? Oh wait. It doesn't. You just negated it.

The last act of the game is pretty much a lesson in what not to do with interactive storytelling. In this case: Arbitrarilly negating player actions and killing off well-liked NPCs for the express purpose of having a the final battle on earth... because it "would look cool".

Interesting. So Mac's tweet supports my theory that the end was real and was not indoctrination. This simultaneously makes me feel good and bad all at once.

How so?

IT doesn't start kicking into full throttle until AFTER Shep gets hit by the laser.  The Citadel was moved into position well before that.

Well, then how did the arms open up if Shep is down on Earth, which is what I've seen a lot of the IT threads claim? Shep isn't psychically linked to the Citadel. The arms had to be opened before they could line it up. See this here. Shepard opens the arms and then the Crucible is put in position.

I can't see IT being correct if they arms really are closed. Mac's tweet says that "some escaped before the arms were closed." The arms had to open for them to use the Crucible, and that part apparently needed to be done manually. So no indoctrination.

The actual image of the arms opening? The arms opened up because it WASN'T REAL. And all of that happens AFTER Shepard gets hit with the beam. What is so hard to understand about that?

EVERYTHING after the beam hits Shepard is in question when you're talking about I.T. It is supposedly ALL hallucination. The arms opening? Happening in the vision. IF you adhere to the I.T. How many more different ways do you have to hear/read it to understand that? O_O
