Guess who's just had a hard drive failure and fresh-installed windows since his last post...

ME :D
Now waiting for Origin to re-download. I am NOT missing EC tomorrow ¬_¬


That sucks bad man. My visual driver on this computor seems to find it funny to fail and then boot back up at random. Frustrating...<_<

@TSA_383: How long did it take you to do that?

Reinstalling windows & drivers - 20 minutes.
Reinstalling origin - 25 :lol:
Trying to work out why my crossfire setup won't play nice with the new AMD drivers - since then :blink:

re-downloading ME3 + DLC = ~12.5GB @ 210KB/s.... <_<

Right, I don't want to be spoiled either. Also, I can't play it any earlier than Wednesday morning.

This one is nervous. >.>

See you all on the other side...


Yeah me too, EC gets out Tuesday afternoon by my local time but my sucky internet speed means I can't play it before wednesday. :| Farewell people. It's been an honour serving with you :salutes:

No, but I was playing a Cerberus Adept at the time. That was the weird part.

It's getting late in Germany so I better go to bed now ^_^

I think I will not post anything before finishing the EC, hence I want to say a few words before "leaving":

Thanks, guys...you rock! :)
(...and don't worry, I'm not going to propose marriage now)

The Indoctrination Theory was the reason I got interested in the "Mass Effect" series and started playing ME1 in the first place. So this thread (and its predecessor, of course) was a place I visited often even before being able to post in this section of the BSN as I bought ME3 only after finishing the first two games. It was a unique and truly great experience to go through my first playthrough of the series knowing how it will end but with this awesome theory in the back of my head. For me, it was the way itself that mattered, not the outcome. And your fantastic ideas and discoveries like the "Mystery of the gun" or TIM/Anderson's "strange shadows" made this experience even better as I started to pay more and more attention to even minor things.

I'm really excited about the EC coming out tomorrow and to be honest I have a really good feeling about it. For me it's size alone, being slightly bigger than "Overlord" and "Arrival" combined, is a good sign that we will at least see something "big". What that will be in the end will be answered tomorrow. But maybe we are lucky and it's the Indoctrination Theory ;)

Anyway, it was really fun lurking here for quite a while, reading about new thoughts and evidence and watching all those great YT-vids about the IT that got linked here. And it was even more fun to discuss with you and contribute some (small) findings myself at last. I rarely had so much fun talking and speculating about a videogame, so I guess in the end it isn't really important whether IT will be confirmed or not  - I still had a really great time and nothing will change that.

So...thanks again!

See you around :)

I know I will have a clever line 5 minutes from now but right now I don't know what to say. This is it, isn't it? The EC is out in a few hours and we're going to get to know if our little "Trollville" (notice the quote marks) was right all along. See ya in another life!

lmao...so for the run to the beam, I just stood there, then I walked backwards and went around the edge, and the Makos never drove down the hill. I'm 3/4 to where Shep gets hit and there are 3 Makos just sitting at the top of the hill, perfectly still.

I managed to get Liara and Javik to follow me down by walking to the edge and walking slowly down.

The scene loses its impact when you treat it as a leisurely stroll :lol:

Maybe the Makos are like Watson from that one Sherlock Holmes game, where he can only move when you arent looking directly at him.

Leisurely stroll?  I can beat that.  One time I walked the whole way backwards just to see what would happen when Harby tries to give me laser eye surgery.

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to the good people of this thread for making the weeks of speculation fun and fascinating. The effort that has gone in to the theorycrafting and videomaking is amazing to see (and thanks for "Choose Wisely" Hellishfiend, it really caught the moment). See you after the EC for... whatever it brings us :-D

Once I just sat there for an hour watching Harby eliminate every single marine with pinpoint accuracy, leaving nothing but ashes behind.

Was weird when he then randomly missed me.

Heh. There's an SSV London mentioned when you're talking with Cortez on the Citadel. Unarmed, recommissioned, and a symbol of what can be done if people keep trying to stay alive.

Interesting.

Well you were Cerberus, maybe they had trust issues Posted Image

Shepard whips around at the last second to greet the beam like an old friend.  I was kind of annoyed.  Harby isn't allowed to assume direct control of me unless I pick control/synthesis.  :(

I'm in Japan at the moment so I won't be playing the EC for a while, I'l check on here to see if it's something to look forward to (IT) or if it is what it appears to be at first glance, either way thanks to all here for having this thread be a port in a storm.

I tried that when I played it with the music turned off.

Ever done that? It reinforces the "this is all kinds of ****ed up" vibe...

Grr. Liara and Garrus abandoned me.

As much as I hate to admit it, the music during the planet crash scene gives me goosebumps every time. That swell as as you look out above the Normandy and look out at the beautiful scenery.

The perfect lie.

Oh, lame. I figured that you would eventually hit some sort of invisible wall as you backed up and then would be able to just stand there watching him fire lasers. :/
