Whats gonna happen if BioWare don't confirm IT with the EC??

I've lost count how many times I've seen this question, and the real answer is, not a lot short of invading the studio(not recommended!), personally it's all going to depend on the EC, I.T or no I.T, it's going to have to be something amazing to make up for the current ending, if it does not deliver "shrugs" time to move on, it will be closure either way as far as I'm concerned.

The ultimate answer came from HellishFiend!


I gotta pass off the credit to mans1ay3r on this one, since he is the mastermind behind that brilliant parody. :D

I honestly have no idea how they're going to wrap things up without the IT. I'm not saying that it's going to be IT, of course, but I can't imagine what they're going to add instead if they don't use it. How would they explain just how Synthesis works, for instance? And I'm very interested to see the squad's reactions to it. They just have to hate the idea if they keep them in-character. What about Joker picking up your squad members and fleeing from the battle, not even an attempt at rescue? If the wave truly did harm ships, then wouldn't the entire fleet have been destroyed since they didn't run away like Joker did? I just don't see what logical explanation can be used to clarify the ending apart from showing War Assets fighting the Reapers before the choice is made.

Come to think of it, if you want an excellent example of this concept, look at Lord of the Rings.

What some called allegory, claiming that LoTR was written based off stories of WWII, Tolkein preferred to call "applicability" claiming that certain aspects of his stories could be found in many stories, even if they were otherwise unrelated. (read the foreword to the books and Professor Tolkein himself will explain it far better than I could.

Sorry to be an annoying pedentic Tolkien nerd, and I know that it doesn't damage the point you were making, but the claim is made that LoTR is a reflection of Tolkien's experience of fighting in the trenches in World War 1, not 2. He was allegedly disgusted at the emergence of mechanised warfare (first seen lage scale in WW1) very much in parallel to Saruman's mind full of "metal and wheels".



Actually, the astounding thing is, I meant what I said. A frighteningly high number of people think that LoTR was based off of WWII stories, even though Professor Tolkein had never served in WWII.

Which by the way makes my point even BETTER since it shows that people can apply things to things the author never even necessarily experienced.

I am aware that the majority of Mordor came from his experiences in WWI, Tanks at the fall of Gondolin, Industrialisation creeping up the hill, ect.

Oh and by the way; the entire quote is "He has a mind of metal, and wheels, and he no longer cares for growing things." -Treebeard on the subject of Carumo, AKA Saruman the Many-Coloured.

See, I can do it too. Posted Image


You can also do it a damn sight more eloquently than me Posted Image I'm gonna make myself feel better by imagining you had to consult the book before giving that direct quote, but something tells me you didn't Posted Image

You mean you'll abandon Mass Effect at all?


Would you continue to fawn over a relationship if the girl provided closure by betraying you, telling you its over, and revealing that she's pregnant with someone else's child? Because this would be the video game equivalent of that.

Hey people, just wondering if anyone has gone back, like way back, to early statements about ME3 in search for IT related information...

I remember one video on youtube where a rep is asked about dlc... And strangely, somehow, the rep brings up the ending to the game....


edit: anyone found anything more like that around?


For those unfamiliar with it, she's referring to this video: www.youtube.com/watch

For me... I will just stick with my own canon ending if EC disappoints (IT or not). Mass Effect is too awesome to abandon.

I was reading some codex entries from Mass Effect 1 about the Presidium tower. One said that the base of the tower had a docking bay for emergencies and which was used by the council to evacuate the citadel when in danger. So.... The base of the citadel is actually a docking bay... used to evacuate the council... I'm pretty sure the whole area was scanned, studied and protected by C-Sec... Everything is a little more weird than before... XD

The entire surroundings were weird. Even from a purely design-specific perspective, part of me doubts everything was "just an oversight."

Sure. Why not. Whatever. Posted Image Peace. //sarcasm mode on

Seriously, it's a different relationship than that with a game.

Yeah, I'm not a Bioware fan(put the pitch forks and torches away!), I just like their games, if the EC does not plug the gaping plot holes then it's time to move on, that does not however mean I'll totally dismiss them, I'll keep checking in for future games and get user reviews before purchasing another.

That's why I said its the video game equivalent of that, not that it carries the same emotional weight.
