"The one that got away"

You had her, it was perfect. You enjoyed every moment with her, and now she's gone. Problem is, you dont know if she's coming back, so you have no closure. You agonize over whether or not you'll ever enjoy her warm embrace again, and you force yourself to feel hope instead of worry, and remind yourself that you'll always have the memories, if nothing else. 


Thats exactly how I feel about ME3 right now. :crying:

Oh I agree, don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoyed ME2, it was the first ME game I even bought and I must've beaten it dozens of times within the span of 2 months before I got my hands on Shadow Broker DLC. That's what sold me on buying ME1 and playing through it all to import into 2 (because I really didn't know importing changed so much of the backstory, honest, and also didn't know you could romance Liara). I just meant that I liked the feel of ME1's story more than 2, maybe because it had a freshness to it. That being said, inspite of the very end, the Mass Effect Trilogy remains at the top of the best games I have ever had the privledge of playing.


Really? I still remember watching a preview coverage segment on X-Play years before ME1 came out. I think it was still called TechTV back then. The main thing they talked about was the new concept of a trilogy that had a single save game that would transfer from one title to the next. I was stoked. Was a long wait until ME1 came out, but it has been an amazing ride ever since.

I actually wish I had been there more regularly.  

In my life I have had two girlfriends, one who had been like a sister to me, wonderful, kind, pretty, pyromaniac, she loved life and was my first kiss, our fling lasted at most two weeks before she dropped out of my life, next time I saw her she had another guy.

The other was a plain, selfish girl who focused on her needs and wants, pretended to be suicidal to get my attention and sympathy, threatening to kill herself if I left her, our relationship lasted a month, which in my opinion was a month far too long. And even though I chose to cut all contact with the selfish wench, I have noted it's been a year since, and she hasn't killed herself yet.

I shall forgive you, but only because you gave me a reason to replay Katawa Shoujo.

So yknow, thanks for that much. ;)

Definitely sounds like the best has yet to come... Many of us are the opposite. We face the problem of feeling that the best has come and gone, and we'll never get there again. The grass is not always greener. Just prepare yourself to capitalize on every opportunity and make the most of each moment, and you'll be fine.

Yeah I found out all that after teh fact. Honestly the first I ever saw of the Mass Effect games was that gamestop ME2 commercial about the Vortex cannon and Terminus armor (which turns out is the only DLC I don't have for ME2 now and can never get). Saw the "Fight for the Lost" commercials and thought "well that's pretty cool, too bad I'm broke." funny enough I got a job sometime around ME2's launch and saw it for 40 on sale at my local gamestop a couple months later, and here we are a devoted ME fan not regretting a single dime spent on the game + DLC + ME1 + CE :)

I'm a naturally depressive fellow, usually a little controlled chaos is something needed to get me out of a rut.

Look at it this way; if you ever watched or read anything concerning Haruhi Suzimiya, my personality matches that of Kyon to a disturbing degree.

We Bioware fans are a sensitive bunch aren't we :). I like to think that's one of Bioware's effects, attracting a paticular kind of gamer or luring a gamer in and making them think, in turn making them think about life.

Fun side note: Another Bioware Effect I've find out, once you play one of their games and like it you immediately want to play another one of their games.

Ah, but that's the issue, knowing when to capitalize on the moment. Perhaps I am just naturally cowardly, perhaps I even subtly hate myself, just enough to keep myself from going for it.

Which is part of why depression is one of the single most horrible diseases that a man can experience.

Aye what he said. Sounds like got two ends of the spectrum under your belt, the middle ground is out there and even more. We may not last forever but mortality can still last quite long enough to find what we're looking for.

Ahh, talking about our first times then eh? Let's see, sophmore year of highschool, so that would make it early 2009. I think I played ME1 before Dragon Age anyway. I had heard Mass Effect was really good, wanted to try it, found it for download on a site called Direct 2 Drive, used my brother's account, called it the best 20 bucks I had ever spent, never looked back.

If it makes you feel any better, I remain largely unaffected emotionally.

Revisiting the leak,

Firebase Rio, Vancouver, and London?

I'm sure most of you guys made the connection already but given that most if not all of the mp maps relate in some way to the places we touch down on in the campaign, what's the deal with Vancouver and Rio?

I know Vancouver was where ME3 starts, right? But surely there couldn't be anything left there because of that.

Rio I can't think of any significance ingame aside from I think James mentioning he had family there? I'm not entirely sure though.

Feel free to correct me on everything, guys.

No matter what the issue, no matter how minor or how severe, somewhere lies the answer to any given problem. If you focus your conscious mind on the goal of finding it, your subconscious mind will guide you unerringly towards it. It is the single most powerful force of the Human race, and it is why we became the dominant species on this planet in real life. Subconscious drive. Only by failing to channel your subconscious towards your goal will you ever fail to achieve that goal.

While we're biased because we are of course, human, there is a lot of parallel in the ME storyline when it comes to how powerful we are as a species. We are so massively diverse that we are quite literally capable of anything we are ambitious enough to pursue, both physically and mentally. But that same diversity also creates the potential for weakness. That potential must always be there in order to balance us out. Without it, we wouldnt be capable of the opposite extreme, which is excellence and success. Whatever you allow your conscious mind to focus on will be what your subconscious channels throughout your mind and body. Keep that in mind, and you can accomplish whatever you please.

Anyone notice on how the maps have started closing in on the story line?
Condor, Jade, Goddess and now on earth? Seems to be following the way the story went and if this leak can be trusted Earth maps will be coming out. Grouped together with the information of the EC with it I feel something fishy here... As soon as these maps come out (Assuming its not fake) we need to give this a good looking over, I think there may be some clues to help prove some of our points in multiplayer.

Rio is where the Interplanetary Combatives Training  school is. This school is where all N7 operatives received their training.

I thought Hackett is from Rio.

Edit: looked it up, he was born in Buenos Aires. OK then.

Playing this music in the background

Lift your spirits fellow Theorist, the war is still raging and while we may have won some battles there are more to be fought. Stay focused, stay calm, stay logical, trust in a Theory that is just a Theory until proven otherwise. Trust in your own ability to comprehend the messages Bioware as sent us. Trust in Bioware's abilities and above all, Trust yourself.
