I'm still half expecting either a ME3 expansion (its own disk, greatly over the size of any DLC, but with same characters and Normandy and it takes place after the ending of ME3, and its at least several main missions long (1/3-1/2 the size of base size ME3))...

Do want!  Hell, if Dragon Age: Origins gets Awakenings, GTA IV got LATD/BOGT and Red Dead Redemption got Undead Nightmare, I see no reason why we couldn't see a seriously substantial addition to Mass Effect 3 in the form of an entirely new addition to the campaign.

An expansion with 10-15 hours more game time?  Delving deep into the mysteries of the ending, the purpose of the Crucible and the implications of the final decision?  TAKE MY MONEY BIOWARE.

Plus of course, THAT multiplayer trailer aside, Bioware is keeping curiously silent on the topic of Harbinger.  I can't help but feel that Big Evil and his Collector hordes will have some role to play in the game before the DLC cycle is up...

I think the Reapers just basically take everything at hand except for certain primitive yet sapient species that hold potential for future harvest. Everything else is up for grabs. I can certainly see them taking Yahg, if the war gets desperate for them (hint: even by London, its not).

The galaxy is both a crop field and an experimental lab for them.

Heh... I actually live right in the middle of an 'experimental farm' in my city

They could easily get Yahgs as their troopers, but not harvest them in the sense to create a Reaper Dreadnaught/Destroyer.

Give @Sjosz a hug for putting in some much overtime lately. He's doing it for an upcoming DLC, and it's unlike anything we've done before!

But what could it beee?

Why should I bite your head off   ?

Ah I was just teasing / being melodramatic.  The thing quoted here isn't even in ME and I'm using it to make a point which is somewhat vague, which you had warned me away from recently.


@ Humakt and Andromidus, thanks for the stuff about Bailey, I had been meaning to ask about him.  Didn't know he was corrupt, it makes sense now (the conversation about Udina choosing him without him even applying for the position).

You see the way I see it is that the brat is the emporer and you are luke ( no vader just luke and the Dark lord) Now luke has a choice join the dark side and his friends can live. Don't join the darkside and you and your friends will die.

I know I didn't do a good comparison, but it's just a thought.

On the contrary, on this point I think you are exactly right.

I don"t think Bailey is working for Cerberus, more like he is a puppet/ a tool. He I think was suppost to take the fail when the councile died. Also um

This is more likely.

Bailey is someone who won't really 'ask questions' of authority, even if he grumbles against them.

Yes I agree that Bailey is more 'easily manipulable' rather than pro-Cerberus.

He is a man of action rather than words and one who can be convinced to do what he's told when the time comes.

Udina likely feels he has him 'in his pocket'.  Didn't he say something about attempting to arrest, and then killing,  an Udina opposer when the evidence appeared to add up?

It seems that Udina is one step ahead of him and can make things happen when necessary, no matter how he goes about it.  The whole thing sounds similar to when Udina presents 'evidence' to the VS that it was Sheaprd who killed the Turian councillor.

I picked it for Ash not Liara. But really I picked Destroy for everyone in the galaxy. Also I don't know Max. I wonder if he means the Citadel dlc, or maybe Project X?

It's stated that the galaxy's economy will pretty much flatline within a year.

But to me, that just means that with enough resistance (depends what happens on London...heh), the galaxy will enter a full-time war mode shortly, with no more space for entertainment, tourism, credit, etc industries. Everything will have to be reshaped in order to survive, stave off, and fight back against the Reapers.

If the Prothians, blocked off from the mass relays, lasted literally hundreds of years of survival (though I understand the first 100 may have had tons of fighting, the next 200-300 of struggle, and last 100 was pure survival and lifepod time), then I honestly cannot see this galaxy lasting at least a few years, instead of just 1 year tops. The major population centers and militaries may be hit, but that doesn't mean that all resistance is crushed.

It's important to note again that pretty much the entire Reaper force was separated on Palaven and Earth when ME3 started. Things of course spread, as the Reapers could afford ending 'token' Reapers to Irune, Rannoch, and eventually a larger force to Thessia (once Earth became about picking off resistance, and Palaven was holding steady for them), but its not like the Reapers are some super mega huge army whereever they go, EVERYWHERE. In most places, they left a handful of Reapers at the very most, and if we can find a way to counter those, we may win 'semi-conventionally'.

I will point out something I learned during my history classes in my last years of.... grammar school?
Anyways:
I guess it is a well known fact that the Third Reich was preparing for a war since mid 1930s (not sure about the exact year and I am too lazy to look for it).
So, you would usually assume that the German industry would've been mainly focused on producing armaments, weaponry and combat vehicles in the late 1930s and the first years of WWII (being 1939-1942, where the Third Reich was clearly nailing everything on its way to total domination). Moreover the German industry being severly harassed by Allied bombardments, shortage of resources and energy (oil for example) as well as the Red Army driving the Wehrmacht/Waffen-SS back and Allied forces invading Normandy (not the ship...) and in general causing a lot of casualties, you'd say that in the years from 1943-1945 Germany would just live on the accumulated war assets from the years 1935-1942.
Well, that is not the case---
The German industry had its peak in the production of armaments, weaponry and combat vehicles in 1944!!!
Most of the cities and industrial complexes were already destroyed or damaged and the Third Reich was short on resources, energy (they even started to build experimental planes out of wood) and qualified labor force (though the use of forced labor mitigated that effect a bit).
BUT this shows what societies are capable of when they are threatened by total annihilation.
To some extent this has happened to the USSR shortly after the German invasion, but I do not know the exact numbers.

As you can see, if you cut corners and cut down the expenses on superfluous things and focus on war, a lot of potential can be freed.

Sorry - stuff like that - I don't like it. Yes, Germany had it's peak in 1944 ... but "cutting coners" included the death of hundrets of thousand slaveworkers, warprisoners etc. Yes a lot of "potential" can be freed if your willing to do what they've done. Please don't use examples like that (sorry but after reading Seival's "theories" I'm quite sensitive about that topic).

Well that guy he referenced in the tweet was the one who tweeted something about a chunk of 'logic' he got done.
I'm not a games programmer, so I don't know if that's programmer slang...but it could be related to that.

Who knows, might be a mini flight simulator. But then, they did that already in LotSB in the skycab scene. So who knows what that new thing will be.

But I do hope it's more than just the detective part in 'Leviathan' which sure was new, but nothing really big in terms of scope. Oh well...here's to playing the waiting game.

[Home run MF]

I know there are a few BSG fans in this thread if you haven't already  you need to watch this. 
It's a prequel that focuses on  Adama's story during the first cylon war.

[masster blaster]

Well the problem with Javik's cycle was they were divided, yet our cycle isn't. We place to much trust in one another which is good and bad.

It's bad because if someone is Indoctrinated we don't know who is. We can spot some symptims, but really can we prove that they are? Not at first, but deepending on theur actions, then yes you can say they are.

Also the Reapers went through system by system I believe. They could have left other systems alone while they harvest, well turn the Protheans into Collectors to build up their ground forces.

Then go to othersystems once they are done.

Also actually guys Earth got the hammer the most. Think about it the whole galaxy is holding their own, even the minor races, while Earth fail in hours.

Look at everyone in the galaxy, except the Batarians they already lost it all, but you can help them regain some things back. is holding down the fort.

Yes Thessia falled, but how long did it take? Months.

Turians are still holding their ground with the help of Krogan.

The Geth and Quaraians plant hasn't been attacked yet, so it gives them a chance to help everyone in need.

The Vorcha are actually helping the councile beileve it or not. The Elcor too, as well as Hanar/ Drell, and Volus.

Yet Earth got hammered hard.

Harbinger lead the attack with the main Reaper horde. If Harbinger had the whole Reaper fleet with him Earth would have been gone within a week.

The thing is if they captured the Citadel, then they would have been done within at least a 100 years or less.

In this cycle however we are throughing everything we got, instead of conserving our forces. So we are actually going head to head with the Reapers, while the Protheans did hid and run tatics do to their low numbers.

And after that, when asked if it was about Omega...
@ChubbyNinja1319 @Sjosz Naw. Omega comes out on November 27th. There's no way we'd be able to still work on it!
