(all of ME2) Harbinger is coming for you, HARBINGER is coming for YOU, HARBINGER IS COMING FOR YOU!!!!!

ME3: Harbinger shows up for 5 seconds, wounds you, and floats off never to be seen again.

[Xellith]

Harbinger is such a tease.

What about that one Twi'Lek Jedi chick who dual wielded and would spin to win

Aayla Secura?

not gonna lie...am a liara fan...since the first game....she is my LI on my main toon and insanity toon. i did feel bad for the fall of thessia..mainly cause of my toons ties to liara. london....well...been there IRL..so..i feel bad about that..not cause anderson but just cause. Anderson punched udina...hes awesome in my book if only for that. the little kid...well...seen a kid die IRL didnt feel much for her cause it wasnt somone i knew so seeing a virtual kid that even my toon doesnt know is not gonna tug at any heart strings. maybe if ash had gotten captured during the fall of earth and we saw her get torn apart or spiked on the dragons teeth...i might feel a little something...though with how big a turd she was to me in ME2....i might feel satisfaction.

following this legendary quote, from which I do not know the author, I think it was the Angry One (feel free to stop by this thread to receive your deserved homage)

This is a child.This child is now dead. Feel sad. I SAID FEEL SAD DAMN IT

let's recap these moments where you were supposed to feel something but the game failed to deliver the feeling.

this is james vega. he rams a ship into a robot. Now you like him. LOVE HIM ALREADY

this is thessia. thessia is now burning. feel bad for the asari. now. START CRYING

look at anderson,now look back at London.Now at Anderson, back at London. Anderson was born in London. FEEL BAD FOR LONDERSON FOR HE WAS BORN IN ANDERLON, OR SOMETHING!

This is Liara.She stalks you, so she loves you more than your LI. ENGAGE WITH LIARA TO MEET THE WRITERS HEADCANON.

This is the Catalyst.Agree with him.AGREE WITH HIM I SAID.No? well, shepard agrees with him.Now you do too.

What's really, really sad about this is that in every single of these instances, I had the CHOICE to do what was inferred, or not. I can choose not to like Freddie Prinze Jr, and I can choose not to give two sh*ts about the Asari (which I didn't. Oh, the Reapers are real, and you have to face them all by yourselves. Boy, that sucks, doesn't it, egotistical know-it-alls?) and I can choose not really care about Anderson, and I can choose to shag up with Liara or not (I usually do. I like her, sue me.)

But then that last one... WHY CAN'T I DECIDE WHETHER TO AGREE WITH HIM OR NOT?! Why does my Shep turn into this half-limp dipsh*t that just stands there and mutely let some frigging VI determine the fate of the entire EFFING GALAXY?!

Urgh. Just thinking about that ending again makes me want to

This is legion. He is making a jesus metaphor. BE TOUCHED

[Etereoooo]

Anderson trust you.
He does nothing for you but hey, he trust you.
you saved the galaxy 2 times but hey, you own him a lot.

Agree with your points though, kinda like how the cheapened Miranda's character which was otherwise good with giving her ass so damn much screen time.

Ok... I'm glad you put that last because I stopped reading right there!

Mirandas posterior can not, I repeat, can not have too much screen time.

Actually I heard her backside is getting it's own spin-off anime series which i'm looking forward to.

Is it called Ass Effect? If so, I'm totally in.

Ya know... if watching a child get turned to slag right in front of you doesn't kinda make you a little disturbed by default...

I just lose faith in humanity a little more each day.

Why, because a portion of humanity doesn't get emotionally involved with poor storytelling?

Ask any drama teacher what the first rule of drama is, and they'll say "Conflict." However, a good drama teacher will also tell you that in order for your reader/viewer/audience whatever to care about what happens to your characters, they first have to actually care about the characters to begin with.

Had the opening level on Earth been longer, Shepard could have met up with the kid and taking him along. Kept him safe during firefights. Have the kid help Shepard out in a tricky situation. Have the kid get wounded in a fight because he screams at Shepard to watch out for the Marauder sneaking up, and getting shot by the Marauder because of it. Have the kid ask Shepard if anyone will come and take away the monsters, and Shepard saying that she's damn sure going to try. Then, at the end of the Earth mission, you fight through a score of Reapers to get the kid on one of the last shuttles to take off for safety, and you succeed, and you watch the shuttle take off, feeling good about having at least saved one small child.

And then the shuttle gets blown up by a Reaper.

That would have made people more emotionally attached to the kid than this little BS "see child in vent. child runs away. child dies. FEEL SAD ALREADY." scene we now got. The whole Earth sequence felt horribly, horribly rushed.

The weird thing is, Bioware knows how to do it! See Mordin's death scene and tell me you didn't feel sad about that. The reason (most) people feel sad about that is because we care about Mordin. I never cared on whit for some faceless child that died. Did you feel sad for the defense council dying? You know, the people who ask Shepard for help at the start, then get destroyed by the Reaper beam? No? Then why do you feel sad about the child, who had even less face time than said council?

I actually have more faith in (the gaming community) of humanity for not blindly swallowing tripe storytelling, burping, and bleating for more. I know EA wants us to be that way. They'd love for Bioware's fans to just blindly gobble up Dragon Age 2K13 and Mass Effect 2K13, just like all the CoD fans do. I'm glad the people here are at least still capable of being critical of what they're given.

The catalyst part is the one part that really anoys me.. Especialy since it's philosophical and more open ended.

Thessia Burning... Well it seems to follow the general feel of the game... everyone was getting hit, the Salarians were mostly getting away from it by hiding...

I think it was good that pretty much everyone got hit, that made it a galactic war and a reason for everyone to unite. Otherwise it would just have been shepard running around complaining that earth was hit. And everyone elses reaction would have been, you probably did something wrong, as usual.

The Asari did nothing until their colonies got hit, then they told Shepard about that pylon just before Thessia got hit. It's unfortunate that the Asari e-democracies voted on such shortsighted leaders, though democracy usual causes people to do shortsighted things to remain in power with priviledges. Not saying It's bad compared to even worse alternatives... But every government type has it weaknesses.

Auto-dialogue says otherwise.

This is ME3 ending. All the "Journalists" love the ending. BE IN AWE OF THE ARTISTIC INTEGRITY! Your too stupid to understand. We will explain through DLC. BE IN AWE!!!

I'd say the worst about the child, because I didn't hold any particular hate for him, is the fact that you're supposed to feel guilty about his death, when it wasn't completely your fault. No, you didn't save him, but that's because he rejects your help and then runs off the moment you look away. It was more out of the failure to force him out of the vent than you simply neglecting to try.

I feel sympathy toward a child that died, but I would feel just as much sympathy toward him as any other (presumably decent) individual that was killed. I felt more melancholy when those I knew (teammates) were brought into the nightmare, especially right after Mordin's death, since I felt more responsible/cared more about characters I knew than a child I only see in two scenes.

It only just clicked, for me, that the one line the child says (assuming he's not the Catalyst), was probably supposed to be meaningful.

This is Wrex.Wrex is a badass.Wrex gets killed by a C-Sec officer with an Avenger.FEEL...FEEL SOMETHING DAMMIT!

Sounds very funny but could we not extend it to ME2 and 1. This is Jenkins. ..

I actually did feel bad when Jenkins died 

[sistersafetypin]

This is Kaidan. Kaidan likes you. No, Kaidan REALLY likes you...

[A lot of people complain about Liara in ME1, but Kaidan died in all but one playthrough because I found him so annoying with his stupid dramatic turn and smile]
