And that part where Aria sees Peteovsky in front of her, and charges straight towards him out of blind rage and falls into his trap. It reminded me of seeing the beam directly infront, and running straight towards it.
Running into a trap.

Well in the Omega files there are lots of notes from the design process left behind.For example:<data>- TEMP CINE DESIGN -Shepard activates the console to shut down the huge fan and the system announces that the shutdown is initiating. The giant fan slows to a stop allowing access to the maintenance area. Aria contacts Nyreen who is making steady progress with the Talons toward Afterlife. Aria tells Nyreen to keep pushing forward and sets a rendezvous point at the markets outside of Afterlife.Alternately it might be cool to see Aria be awesome by using her biotics to stop the giant fan in order to allow progression.</data> </string> <string> <id>728634</id> <position>145</position> <data>Shepard and Aria emerge in the Mechanical Sciences area where Cerberus forces can be seen through the window firing their weapons and retreating while shouting for support. They are quickly gunned down by unseen forces and suddenly another Adjutant runs past the window toward a chamber ahead (the player will encounter this Adjutant in the next combat location).</data>The intriguing thing about this is that there are bits that were obviously cut or modified:<data>Shepard and Aria enter a corridor with a series of apartment doors extending vertically for many floors.

Enemies enter the battle from the railings above and the various doors leading into the main chamber. The combat here is very similar to the Object Rho battle in ME2 Arrival DLC.Shepard must fight through these forces and protect Aria while she hacks / rips apart the 2 power sources that keep the General safely locked inside his control room (formerly Aria's seat of power).Once the Power is disabled Shepard and Aria advance on the General for the final cutscene.</data><data>As Shepard and Aria step onto the balcony Nyreen radios in. The talon forces are becoming overwhelmed and things are looking grim.

They'll never grant outright permission, but they can do nothing about people who post walkthroughs with commentary on YouTube because, under fair use, it becomes a different animal than their original product. You're perfectly safe doing so. However, I would advise against simply posting footage with no commentary.CmdrShep80 wrote...
Well, after asking for permission to do a let's play style of walkthrough for the trilogy, EA did not want to grant authorization to do one so I won't be doing a walkthrough for the trilogy. I'm kind of sad about it because I've never done one before and was all excited to do one based on Mass Effect.
The first few "minutes" of gameplay which ended up with me talking for extensive periods I thought turned out pretty good. Looks like I won't be uploading anything any time soon. Oh well, it was worth the experience to ask for the permissions. I learned a few things because of it.

Thats a shame:crying:, you would think because of the other let's plays, they would allow people to make them in order to gain publicity for their game. I've even bought a game after watching commentaries on the game months after it came out.CmdrShep80 wrote...

They won't give you permission because they want to reserve the right to take it down if you tear into their game or use it to abuse or badmouth their company. That is the only reason they don't want to give permission. It just means you can't represent the company or say you do. In no way does it mean you can't do it. If they have problems with it they'll simply force it to be taken down.
It doesn't matter what she said. No matter how you decide to post the videos. As long as you are providing your own commentary, coupled with your own subjective gameplay experience, makes the work transformative under fair use and shields you completely. I understand if you may be concerned, but I assure you you are in the clear.CmdrShep80 wrote...

ya but they agreed that under fair use they don't have a problem, but as the extended trilogy like how I was planning for all 3 games as a series, that's where they don't want to.
Its not all bad, the lady in the department was really nice and I appreciated her time and efforts

Huh. Apparently DA3 is probably getting delayed until '14. Unfortunately, it's still being released eventually.

Maybe with so long it'll actually be a decent game this time.

Don't worry it will be remembered for years. We just don't know if that's good or bad yet.masster blaster wrote...
IT's because the ME writers need more time with dlc for ME3, and DA3 will be in the way. They want ME to be remembered for years, not " Hey ME3 was awsome, and...holy crap Halo comes out, as does AC3, Black ops 2, Medal of Honor, and so on."

I dont see why you're so focused on getting permission. Just do it. Tons of people have done Let's Plays of Mass Effect.

To be honest, this is the only good reason that's been suggested which explains why they need TIM's mind specifically.BleedingUranium wrote...
I'm not going to spam this, but I did post it while most people were sleeping yesterday:
I've solved the puzzle.
I mentioned a before that my theory is each Reaper, though its brain is made from millions of melted people, only has one consciousness, one mind. The Reapers only make one new Reaper per cycle, why? Because each Reaper's mind is taken from the best that cycle has to offer. At one point in the leaked script a Reaper said "We are all Shepards".
Why do you think they were interested in Saren, but as soon as Shepard proved he was better, they went after Shepard? They want the best. Why did they fail to make a Prothean Reaper? They couldn't capture Javik; the Shepard of his cycle.
Remember Shepard's line to TIM when debating saving the Collector base? "Next thing I know, you'll want to grow your own Reaper". That's exactly what he's doing! That's his grand plan in ME3! And what does a Reaper need? Four things: An understanding of how to build it, a whole lot of eezo for the core, millions of people melted into goo to form the brain, and a singular consciousness to form the mind. Cerberus has both.
They have part of the Collectors' proro-Reaper hanging in their base, and the Illusive Man's been studying Harbinger to some degree since the suicide mission. Building plans? Check.
Cerberus's only true goal on Omega seems to be mining vast amounts of eezo very quickly, with emphasis on the quickly. The rest of what they were doing they could've done somewhere else far more easily. Eezo core? Check.
Remember in Sanctuary, anyone not useful in experiments or as troops was liquified, and now we know why! Organic material? Check.
"Humanity needs your mind, and they need it intact". We never did have an explaination as to what that TIM did to himself, much less to this line. Now we do. Singular consciousness? Check.
This also gives a better reason for dream-TIM from a writing standpoint. We've already discussed how having a goodbye with dream-Anderson opens up the possibility of him being indoctrinated or killed, but this does the same for TIM, as next time we see him, he won't be TIM anymore...
These are also listed in order of least to most important, story telling-wise; it has proper build up. While you can do Omega after Sanctuary, that's a terrible idea from a plot and story telling perspective.
Also of note, the official guide book for Mass Effect 3 calles the Control ending, the mentality and goal of Cerberus, "Become a Reaper". This gives that title much more meaning, as the other two endings match their supporters' goals.
