Not a surprise to those who actually "listened" to Bioware (unlike Bioware who SAYS they're "listening" but...not so much). It was always going to be the same ending, just MORE of it.
They will NEVER justify "Synthetics ALWAYS turn on their creators" or "I created synthetics to kill advanced organics before advanced organics could create synthetics to kill that would kill them.
See? Aren't you happy that MY synthetics are killing you instead of your own? "
This confirmation (as if it was actually even needed) merely confirms that my time around these here parts and with anything Bioware is fast coming to a permanent and ignoble end. ME1 and ME2 still sit in repose on my computer. ME3 sits dormant on a DVD. Upon release of the offensive anal gas otherwise referred to as the "EC", simply attempting to justify the unjustifiable (logically IMPOSSIBLE), the ME games that are current sitting static upon my harddrive will be uninstalled and forgotten. The ME3 DVD will visit the microwave (have you ever microwaved a CD or DVD? Nifty light show! Only do it for 10 seconds kids. Blue sparks dance a tango all over the disc surface...just like the blue explosions in the ending of ME3!) and then go into the trashbin.
For one, the milky way is not the only galaxy in the universe. Just the only one we've seen. The Reapers sleep in dark space between the galaxies. It's not impossible that Starboy saw one galaxy or more fall to synthetics before deciding to do the Cycle in the Milky Way. He's the same as Javik, all of his past encounters with synthetics have been bad, so thats all he believes they are capable of. And he never said outright that Synthetics will just up and destroy organics for no reason, but merely that conflict will happen one way or another, which is always has. Synthetics also evolve at a faster rate than organics and will always be limited to the flaws in their base programming. Meaning if their order is to eliminate all threats, they would indiscriminately kill anything that could be a threat.
Also Kimberly Brookes said that HER sessions for EC were simple, not all the dialogue, which as a voice actor, she lacks the privelige or the care to see.(I listen to comentaries of VAs and a lot of them don't actually watch or play the things they work on until they are completely done.) This quote proves it. "but they don’t tell us lowly actors anything.” And considering the fact that Ashley is only a supporting character/prop for Shepard, and ends up in a really obscure place, I'm not surprised that she doesn't have much to say. You cant expect Ashley to take precedence over Shepard, Hackett, or anybody majorly relevant to the central plot.
Also we already knew they were going to explain the ending in EC. That's nothing new and nothing to subvert to make attacks at Bioware.
I love this.
Kimberly Brooks:
“Well, I was surprised. Maybe because the response was so overwhelming.
Artistically you’ve just got to go with whatever your vision is, no
matter what the response is.”In other words, screw the ending haters! Your opinions mean nothing!
