Despite the post from the DA guy, I just can't support Bioware anymore after buying DA2, ME3 and having both of them snubbed at me in some way.
DA 2 had serious lacks of choice making and there were plenty of flaws in the game. ME3 ending as you know, made it terribly unfulfilling.
*cough*
To yougottawanna, can I ask your opinion on this rewrite?
If I was to rewrite starchild, it would be
- Starchild = collection of scientists super long ago, had a war vs synthetics, created Reapers out of desperation with initial goal to defeat synthetics because organics were losing.
- Reapers = twisted collection of dead alien bodies and machinery, twisted logic of organics always creating synthetics, and therefore exacting order from chaos by removing the two parties. Gives back Sovereign a sense of "you don't understand my logic" too.
- Starchild had no time to create crucible, therefore ended up as catalyst, in hopes that future generations can successfully overcome Reapers by constructing it. Starchild congratulates Shephard for the gathering all the races, reaffirming the efforts to get there.
- Discussion between starchild and shephard, as well as providing Mass Relay technology and hospitable homeworlds so that no one will starve. Ultimately Shephard orders Joker to pick up allies and retreat to safety. Reaper starts to chase after Normandy, no choice but to run away.
Endings
- Destroy. Reaper goes boom boom pow.
- Orders. Shephard fixes Reapers logic and orders them to leave.
- Synthesis. Shephard makes everyone hybrid, Reapers no longer sees them as organics and synthetics, leaves.
In this way nobody hates starchild because of a ridiculous logic, Reaper gets explained, mystery of Mass Relays get written, understand why Joker is running, no mass genocides from Shephard, no starving. Most of the biggest plot holes get coherence and this even makes EMS more relevant (how fast/slow you get to meet crucible for high/low EMS). All the stuff you care about gets some feedback, and the extended endings are now more palatable.
PS: In fact only Reapers should be targeted, adding geth makes you want to add all sorts of machines into it. Including EDI and what not. So all the metal parts? Boom. Quarians die first soon because their life support system fails. Even sci fi should have some form of limit. Super quantum beams rewriting Reapers and ordering them to leave? My sense of disbelief refuses to be suspended.
Deus ex machina, maybe. All along the goal was to create crucible, so it isn't really something of a last minute thing, and all the efforts from distant past to current present, arriving at a certain future of hope.
Is that much better than the current ending, yougottawanna? (am seeking 'clarification' on [my] coherent writing skills.)
