If you ask me, the ringing sounds in Firebase Vancouver can be easily heard.

Trololololol. Someone at Bioware has a sense of humour, at least.

A very subtle one at that. I like it.

In reference to what?

Holy crap, this just keeps getting better. Looking at the map in the article, the one of the coast of Brazil is almost certainly beside Rio!  Also, if I read the page right, it's actually some kind of Mass Accelerator or something?

??????????? That is a different game.

Hmm, then I don't have any ideas

Well the thing that I'm thinking right now is that we have firebase Rio - giant installation on water, and Firebase Hydra - giant installation on water. We don't really know the perpose of either. and what else has ties with water in ME universe? For some reason Leviathans come to mind.  

I'm almost 100% sure FB Hydra is just a cut part of the Geth Fighter Squadrons mission; the Geth Consensus mission. If you look at the cutscene it has a very unnatural break to it, like there was going to be whole combat section before you go inside, you even pop in a new heat sink even though you never fired you gun. That and the map looks like Rannoch and there are Geth fighters and VR Pods all over. There's also the unused tram that goes to the door into the dam.

It seems likely they cut it from SP to emphasize the Geth Consensus part.

What the heck is wrong with that thread? The one BT posted. You see people are going over to the Reapers side. Their way of thinking. The Reapers are the good guys, and it makes the whole ME1_ ME3 stupid?????

It seems that there is only a few ME players left that understand that the ending is a hallucination. The ending want us to not fight anymore. Let everyone die in refuse. Don't wake up at all. I mean come on.

Destroy is the only ending were you fight, refuse is more like Shepard quit, but gets a big fat F. Bioware is like " why do people want to refuse the brat? Destroying the Reapers wakes Shepard up, but since they want it I guess so."

Right, and we're comparing two very, very similar things about them.

 Just playing eletania in mass effect 1. i'm always interested by what it says, especially the part that is bolded



"Examining the strange Prothean artifact reveals a small, irregular slot on the underside of the surface. Remembering the strange trinket you received from the asari Consort on the Citadel, you pull it out and place it in the slot. The ball explodes in a brilliant flash of white light, momentarily blinding you and disorienting you.
Slowly your senses return as you wake from a deep sleep. You are alone in the forest, though you are not far from the caves you share with the others in your tribe. There is a pain and a small lump in the back of your skull, as if a chip of flint has been forced under the surface of the skin.
Leaning on your bone-tipped spear for support, you rise to your feet. A sound draws your attention upwards, where a strange creature hovers high above you. It is unlike the birds you hunt by the lake's edge – it has no head and no wings yet somehow it flies. It is a beast of shining silver; hanging motionless in the sky like a cloud. You sense it is watching you, studying you.
Raising a hairy fist, you shake your spear at it in anger and the creature rises up quickly until it disappears from view. With a satisfied grunt you make your way back to your caves and the rest of the tribe.
You fall into the familiar patterns of life – the hunt for food, the struggle to claim and keep a mate, the battles against the other tribes that would claim your territory. Days roll into nights and back into days. Each time you rise from sleep there is the sensation that you are not alone; that some "other" is with you sharing all you see, hear and feel. At these times your hand goes to the strange lump at the back of your skull and you remember the silver creature from the sky.
The air grows colder, winter falls. You must range farther for food, clutching the furs tight against you to ward off the chill. It is on one of these long hunts that the strange bird returns. You hear it before you see it, its call a deafening roar as it descends from above, swooping down on you. A single great eye opens on the underbelly, a glowing red orb. You try to run, but a finger of red light extends from the eye and engulfs you, and all goes black again.
You wake an instant later to find yourself on Eletania lying on your back, the Prothean artifact looming above you undamaged and your companions standing over you. They help you to your feet, puzzled. "There was a flash of light and you just sort of toppled over," one explains. "Are you okay, Shepard?" the other asks. You don't answer right away, wondering at the implications of what you have seen: the memories of a Cro-Magnon hunter, captured by an implanted Prothean data recorder. How long did they study the primitive humans, observing them and analyzing the results at their base on Mars? And what, if anything, did they learn from us?
"I'm fine," you finally reply, realizing that this is a mystery you will probably never solve. "Forget about it."

Something else I was going to mention about that misdirection thing a few pages back. It doesn't relate to IT, but it does to how the ending was presented. Basically in this clip John Travolta says something about certain endings don't work because audiences love happy endings, as well as somethings don't push the envelope.

Mass Effect 3's ending I would say pushes the envelope, because it's not something that we've seen a lot in gaming. As something to not only trick Shepard into getting indoctrinated, but the player as well.

Plus some other things.

Fascinating! Very relevant because IT would both push the envelop and be a happy ending (or could be, this is Mass Effect).

We're talking about how the Rio installation looks nearly identical to one in Deus Ex: HR, the details are on the bottom of the last page.

I always thought that the Protheans had implanted him with some form of recording device, but I dunno. The thing that kills him is definitely a Reaper though: deafening roar and glowing finger of red from its underbelly? Yeah.

@Paxxton- If you are referring to "They will succumb and ascend, or be annihilated.", I can't put my finger on what Shepard says that is similar.

May I have a hint?

"Only now do I fully understand the full extent (...)"

Its something from the control speech, but I dont know where, sorry. I have never watched the control speech, so I am not familiar to any of its lines.

 Click on the banner in my sig and enjoy the best of the endings to ME3.

Im sorry it took me so long to respond, what is that line?


I refuse to watch the Control and Synthesis endings, so...

*sigh*

Harbinger says that his enemies will understand the full extent of blah blah and Shepard in Control says that he now understands the full extent of blah blah blah. More or less they both use the same words.

Ah, thank you. Shepard sounds like Harbinger, Harbinger sounds like Shepard. We can only tell the difference because their voices sound different. The Catalyst has three voices, one of which is the voice of your Shepard.

Someone who's good with such things should replace Starbinger's model with Shepard's, and remove Starbinger's and OtherShep's voices!

Yep, the reapers are now the good guys and apparently we just don't understand that we need to be harvested every 50k to keep the natural order of things or whatever loopy BS things they've got going through their minds. Anyone who has sympathy for the reapers should be harvested. That's the natural order as far as I see it.

Or thrown out the nearest airlock

There was a quote from one of the devs several months ago on Bioware's twitter stating:

"There are no happy endings because nothing ends. Name that movie".

I'll have to find out who said it.

Ah, here we gp

Yes, there are only happy moments along a journey filled with happy and unhappy moments. It depends on where you stop the story as far as the ending you get.

That is actually pretty recent from either a movie or TV show. Might even be buddhist as well.

That's not how I took it. I read it as meaning "There are no happy endings because there isn't an ending yet".
