Did you realize the 'vision' you get when you touch the prothean beacon in Mass Effect 1 is actually footage of meat (organic) and electronic equipment (synthetic) mangled together? That's.. not a coincidence.


You are mixing up Deus Ex and ME.  Deus Ex is about the relationship of technology, transhumanism, etc, and what it is to be human.  That is not the theme of ME.

Well, I saw EDI step out of the Normandy after having chosen the Red ending, so Im inclined to believe the starbrat is just full of bull****. Also he smiles when you chose synthesis or control as far as I remember.

Joker... Come in Joker!
Whats up Shep?
Joker, I need a bathtub with some water in it delivered to my location by shuttle. Oh yeah and that anti-synthetics gun Tali gave me at Rannoch.

No.  They created endings that either violate everything you were fighting against in all 3 games (blue and green) or violate anything but the renegade run (red).  There is no option that is properly the paragon run.  Renegade has NO qualms screwing over the Geth and EDI.  Paragon does.  Renegade gets a proper choice, paragon doesn't.


Control is perfectly Paragon. What is your definition of Paragon? Is it the same as 'good', because if it is you don't understand what paragon means.

Was EDI with you on the final battle run?

The same thing happened to me! I think that the child wanted us to make that sacrifice but in actuality, I feel that it wasn't a destruction of all synthetics but rather just the reapers. Crazy child just wanted to scare us and see if we would sacrifice.

The ending not being redone or reworked is extremely dissapointing, adding "context" to it as is like giving a plaster to someone who stepped on a landmine and lost their leg.

Having said that, BioWare was founded by doctors and made some brilliant games, so maybe if they're creative enough with this context and these epilogues are numerous and reflect the choices we've made in the game and throughout the series(like in DA:O and as originally promised) then maybe they can stem the bleeding and stop the patient from dying atleast.

I.. don't think that's supposed to happen? AFAIK EDI only gets out of the ship in the green ending...

I liked the Prothean DLC, we thought before they were like gods etc, but they simply put it where like the Roman Empire etc, Kill or Join us. Which was fine with me.

This clarification how long do we have to wait? What about other DLC's, If Bioware does not pull through with this properly, Knowing Next year they will be releasing and now developing C&C Generals 2, I really hope they dont SCREW UP that franchise, as the first one was awesome used to play it all the time online and LAN. If they do not sort out ME then I do not think I will be getting Generals 2 :/ or other Bioware Games.

No, you show your true colors as far as preferences in game.  Control is the TIM option and TIM is NOT paragon.

Then by your logic. Since Anderson is a Paragon character, destroy is a paragon choice.

THAT would make the Red ending acceptable (to paragons but unacceptable to renegades who "don't care for synthetics").  If that is clearly shown in the "clarification" I will lose SOME (by no means all because there is just too much f*cked up and illogical, nay, retarded, about the ending) opposition to the addition.  It would also mean the Geth likely survived.

Paragon is order.
TIM wanted an order with humans at the top. Control has Shepard at the top, how he fills in that role is of course up to the player. A paragon shepard in control might move all the reapers out of sight and eventually come to the same conclusion the god did. Might even still be paragon.


I actually picked synthesis because I thought that gave the species of the universe the best chance for creating a harmonious society for all.

Control is paragon? You die, how can you control anything while you are dead? More spacemagic? Who's in control after you are dead?

The starbrat smiles after you chose control, making it look like he tricked you or something?

Actually, the way it is phrased is something like "You can destroy all synthetics, if you wish".
I figured it might mean that when you choose Destroy Shepard implicitly gets a further decision that doesn't have to be spelled out by the game in whether he destroys all synthetics or not.

No, I saw the same "vision" stuff you did but you interpret it differently than I do.  It was NOT clear, it was NOT objectively clear.  It was ambiguous for interpretation.  I see it as simply indoctrination and/or "husking" of the Protheans.  Husks ARE mostly synthetic husks made from organic feedstock.  I don't see in that what you do.

Sometime this summer?

look I'm not an unreasonable man, I know
it takes a lot of time and logistics to get even a patch done let alone
dlc (BTW after a month there still is no patch), but in the meantime
were stuck paying for dlc or playing the multiplayer which a lot of
people have admitted they have no interest at all in playing...

I know being a cynic and a pessimist has its advantages but... I still cant help but feel let down... oh well, back to skyrim for a few months.

Yeah, well it's specifically mentioned as being what Mass Effect is about in the Final Hours app, so I guess your interpretation is just off.

Why would synthetis prevent future conflicts? A race of synthetic-organics probably have plenty of reasons to build synthetics of their own, which in turn would turn on their creators....... According to the spacebrats "assumptions".

How would synthetis even work? Are nanomachines magically dispersed to all organics in the universe? Would it prevent new organics species from appearing, thus starting the cycle again?

Didn't the Protheans fight a synthetic-organic hybrid race of some sort? In the Metacon wars?

Yes, *to control the machines* is a key part of that sentence. He's not GONE, he's just no longer 'alive' in the old-fashioned human-in-a-body sense.

I chose Green because it was what saved the most people...but it sucks because it alters everyone to be what the starturd THINKS is the "pinnacle of evolution".  My @ss.  I didn't like green because it arbitrarily kills Shepard when all he needed to do was spit into the beam.  Plenty of Shepard/organic DNA right there.  Space magic can take care of the rest.

I like to think of the entirety of ME3 as an ending, a conclusion to many plot threads built up from the previous two games. Did the story sometimes venture in ways I didn't particularly like? Sure. But as much as Bioware wants the players to make this story their own, it is ultimately Bioware's story, and it was an incredibly fascinating, compelling story at that. You want your story to end the way you want? Build an unfathomably rich and complex game from the ground up and write the ending the way you envision it.

This is getting old ...<_<
Yes, it is their story and no, as a writer you can't just write anything. You have an obligation to write something that makes sense, that is plausible and logical, that follows established rules and respects the lore, something that is consistent with what came before.
All of this is violated by the ending. It disrespects the invested player and is an insult to anyone who is interested and pays attention.
