if there is sunshine and butterflies ending, i dont think the vast majority will care tbh


I'm pretty sure Ieldra, Xil, and Seival will need therapy.

Well Seival needs therapy anyway, but maybe this time just a tighter straightjacket.


im pretty sure Seival really is indoctrinated

Either that or it's performance art on the internet on par with Andy Kaufman


when your asking the question "what kind of harvested would you like to be" you know somethings wrong


Or it's a genius performance. Occam's Razor says you're probably right though.

You know, call me crazy, call me delusional, or whatever, BUT - do you want to know what I believe?

What I think would happen?

I think that there will be Mass Effect 3 part 2.

And it will be either payed, or maybe even free DLC.

It will happen like this - Shepard wakes up in the rubble, and realizes that it has all been a dream and illusion, and the fight is still going on. Then slowly he would realize that NOTHING is actually resoleved yet. I mean NO RESOLUTION FOR ALL OF THE MAJOR PLOT LINES. The take back earth, and starting from there they have to retake the whole galaxy back somehow.


You're crazy.

Why would "Good luck!" or "Stay safe!" said in the time of war give Glyph away?

React before having all the facts? As in people going into the ending and reacting the way they did because they didn't have all the facts? Makes sense.

Better go find a Salarian to hook you up with the latest omnitool antivirus.

You're crazy.

The only crazy part is "free DLC". BioWare is not charity. They are done with free DLCs for the foreseeable future. The EC was "an exception that proves the rule".

EDIT: And If there was ME3 Part 2, I want a full game!

That would make a great gift to bring back to the Flotilla for your pilgrimage. (is this joke getting too old yet?)

No, it's all crazy.  Making the ending a huge mindscrew is one thing, but taking the entire game out of canon when we did things like cure the genophage and make peace between the geth and quarians is the kind of stuff that turns a fanbase into a lynch mob.

In fact Shepard is still lying on the marble floor in Vancouver HQ. He is attached with tubes and cables to the Reaper that landed nearby that feeds his brain with stimuli to create a virtual world and condition him to accept Reaper goals.

Balak would've been cool. I mean, Garrus and Tali could die in the SM

If Tali dies, then all hope is lost:crying::crying::crying::crying:.

Funny enough, I've accidentally gotten Tali killed more times than any other squadmate. She died twice on my first playthrough because I decided it would be a great idea to side with the geth, then take her on the beam run with an abysmal EMS:unsure:

Nothing involving Quarians is ever out of style!

I think I'll settle on the hallucination happening at the transport crash or a waking nightmare during the beam run.

Long time away from this thread, folks. Just heard the news about the new dlc. What's the thread consensus? Is there an exec summary? Work has been busy, I'm out of the loop.

Lots of quotes with subtle hints, mirroring, metaphor, and foreshadowing, but nothing substantial. This was mostly a combat DLC.

It's a Merizan interview? Should I even bother reading it?

Hey everyone. :)

You misunderstood me.  Everything that happened in ME3 before the beam run - happened. 

By no major plotlines not resolved i meant - not knowing what cerberus is really up, and not knowing how to stop the reapers. 

It is still crazy, but i wanted to make the difference clear. 

What you're talking about is exaclty what Hellish and his friend have in mind.

I think he meant the next one. We know all 9 writers and 3 composers including Sam Hulick are working on it. Sounds important.

Something else I was thinking about to explain TIM shooting you and ending up as a "game over message" (edited for Mass Effect 3 lore-wise).

Neo: If you're killed in the "dream world", you die here?
Morpheus: Body cannot live without the mind.

Morpheus: The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world. Built to keep us under control, in order to change a human being into this (holds a battery in his hand).

Neo: No, I don't believe IT. It's not possible.
Morpheus: I didn't say it would be easy Neo. I just said IT would be the truth.
Neo: No, I want out. Let me out of here.
Morpheus: Easy Neo.
Cipher: He's gonna pop.
Morpheus: Breathe Neo, just breathe.
