Well I like to think we're all heroes. Sometimes I wear a cape when filing bugs.
Now I'm imagining a bunch of Co-workers, all with flying capes, heroically going for lunch.....
Or with a determined Face under some underwear mask trying to defeat the Arch-enemy -this one bug that makes absolute zero sense
You give me strange Ideas...
My favorite moments of ME3:
1. Anderson's final moments.
2. Mordin. Everything Mordin.
3. Liara's gift.
4. The dreams.
5. Just wandering around looking at all the gorgeous environments, including the hospital views, the space-walk, Palaven under attack...everything.
I could go on listing great moment after great moment, so I'll just say I loved pretty much the entire game. Especially after the extended ending DLC was released. The few minor things that I didn't like (journal system) didn't come close to ruining my enjoyment of a magnificent end to a magnificent trilogy of games. My hat is off to all those who put their blood, sweat, tears, and time creating Mass Effect 3, as well as the first two.
I look forward to the next phase of Mass Effect, wherever it may go.

Nooooo! :-( (hope you enjoy it man).
You. You I will miss most of all.
What. I feel betrayed.
You. You I will miss most of all.
What! We haven't even worked together since I moved onto DA but I feel betrayed.
You. You I will miss most of all.

It's ok. I expect dismissal from a Jays fan (we can discuss standings when you get back)
You. You I will miss most of all. For a Yankee.

Have good break, sir!
Favorite moments:
Citadel confrontation
Paragon interrupt while talking to the Rannoch Reaper
Ash's final line in the CItadel DLC "No, you'll find a way to beat the odds. And when you do, hero-man, I'll be waiting"
@DaveFeltham ah underworld. #dinosauradventure3D wait. What? You're taking time off?
Hahaha. I missed you yesterday. I'm sending an email.
Tell @Sjosz not to burn the house down. Or the level.
I think I get what Bob is saying.
We have these games where Shepard all but dictates what others should do. He's great. He's a hero for it. He says it how it is.
Then we have the ME3 ending, where it is suddenly 'nope, you're wrong'.
And we have Bioware going 'nope, you don't get anywhere from speaking concretely. It has to be 'in my opinion' and said nicely, or we don't like to listen'.
Something like that. That the model of Shepard isn't supposed to be something we should go with. He's the hero and all, but nah, don't follow his behavior. That Bioware does a 'we'll show you how a good person acts but don't act like that person when critiquing us; we need things said nicely and with it always expressed in a way that is empathetic of our lives and the nature of the development process'.
Bobid is hard to understand sometimes. And I don't agree with him - I think both heroism and critique has many more successful forms than what he regards to be the model. But I think he's saying 'objective truth is objective truth - get over how it was presented. If a game or part of a game is outright bad, it is bad outright, and you should take in all good critique about it, whether it was expressed with kindness towards you or not'.
I just... don't get how a power fantasy narrative in a videogame is at all relevant to how rational and considerate people should act in real life. Shepard's character has literally nothing to do with a request for more positive feedback. Why is Bioware's writing of hero archetypes at all connected to asking for more reasonable and less shouty fan responses?
Why are we even talking about this?

Well yeah, that should be evident. I don't think it is to Bobid though.
Why don't you just let the discussion die (at least in this thread )? Let's not derail the main business here: tweets about ME 
I am totally starting cape Fridays at work.
Why are we even talking about this?
Fun fact: During the development of ME3, KEI-9 was known simply as "Fifi" by many of the QA team. It was short for "Archduke Fifi le Yipyap"
Moved my desk to the corner. I'd take a picture but every wall around me has secret information I can't share.
On secret information I can't share, today was another review of the content we've been making for the next Mass Effect.
There was some stuff in there that has me very excited to eventually see everyone's responses to. They're going great work in Montreal.
that tease yea...of course that's new...we obviously have been reading enough tweets of #Space. give us some blurred pics in tweets that end with #Wallsofsecretinfo.
-.-
where did this Bob from accounting fellow come from? I like this stuff. I appreciate that out from nowhere he chooses to blantly state how he feels. it is emotion, it is logic, it is non-fleeting commitment to how he has been made to feel as a consumer of bioware's products.
Bob works...in accounting apparently, and he pays for bioware's products and he expects them to be of a quality equal to what he has paid. since when did voicing an opinion become a right consumers no longer have?
and since when did consumer's opinions become subject to censorship? if I see a hobo on the side of the road who tells me, " I'm a billionaire." and I respond and say, "Nope, you're high." that's my opinion based on what that hobo has said to me.
so when someone gives you crap, calls it "pretty logic" (of course I'm referring to something else), you as the consumer have every right to call them on their...whatever reasoning they used to arrive at that explanation. this will never change regardless of who asks for what and where.
I like this Bob person. says the things everyone is thinking, but no one wants to say. Props to you Bob from accounting.
Playtesting, a good show-and-tell, then ice cream and rollercoasters at La Ronde with the team. An excellent Friday.
Not to go off-topic, but is Bob that David fella from the older forum days?
Yes. Bob and David7204 are one and the same.
Really enjoying Jos' tweets and and insights. I always love getting some insight from devs! Thanks! =)
What's this talk about censorship? Asking people to be decent in how they voice their opinions and critiques is not censorship. Censorship would be not allowing those views to be voiced.
Also, I have to point out. This is Bioware's forum. It's not a democracy. We are given the privilege of posting and debating here under certain conditions. And with that in mind, it's not unfair for the devs to ask us to be nice towards them.
