To me, that's a lot of things telling me that the war isn't over. That this isn't our last fight.

There's much more than this in the game, this is just the FOB stuff. Just played Priority Earth, hence these quotes. (Plus a few others I had written down earlier, but hadn't posted yet.)

To truly understand what I'm getting at, click the banner in my sig. :P

Ok, I didn't look at it in that light. It's just not the best in the game due to the setting of everyone thinking they'll die in the last fight and Shepard reassuring them like a good commanding officer. I remember that thread, and there is plenty of foreshadowig, hence one reason I joined.

Yeah, the beauty of it is that it has one meaning at face value, but if you look at allllllllllll these references from a distance, a new message shines through.

"Big picture made out of little pictures" is about the best description I can think of for IT.

I want a Javik avatar, damn it.

Too bad the DAO character creator thing doesn't work for me.


I'm glad you went back to Jack. I forgot what your other avatar even was, I only know that I always preferred Jack.

He had a Batarian to play up the Doomsday Batarian in ME2.


Orange Salarian I think


All correct. I started out with a Hanar. Then certain literalists made me pick the orange Salarian, then I used Jack for a long time and then I became the Mad Batarian Preacher for the whole Doomsday gag.

In-universe, sure, but this is fiction, so it means something for sure. What it means is pretty obvious.

Sorry about this but it is driving me crazy... I've seen the term "OP" used many times, and I don't quite know what it means. Does it mean "Original Poster"?

Also, Regaurding the FOB quotes, the whole feeling is "It's not over yet, our victory starts today." And I do find it ironic that in High EMS destroy it ends abruptly with the breath scene. The breath scene itself screams "It's not over yet, Shepard is buried under the rubble. Shepard needs help." That combined with the Stargazer "One more story" leads me to believe that the breath scene will be expanded upon, and that Shepard still has more left.

Or original post, or overpowered.

About the breath scene: I agree 10000000%. It's not over yet. To add to that, most of the people you talk to also make you promise to come back to them! And celebrations will ensue! How could it end there? Why would it end there? Why would they write goodbye lines like that if you only survive in less than one ending and there is nothing else to be added? No. It just makes no sense.

Again, I find it interesting that ME3's end is either awesome, or ridiculously bad. It can't really land in the middle...

I never understood why some people didn't want a "happy" ending as a possibility. ME is not dark! You can finish the suicide mission with no casualties! Why not this as the best outcome, utter failure as the worst, and everywhere in between?!

Me and my brother had a two hour discussion on that very topic just days after beating ME3 and discovering IT.

I have to create an avatar of the Catalyst, then I could start posting on every ending related thread I see. Possibilities that offers are just delicious.

Yeah, the shot where "Child" "smirks" after choosing control would be the best.

Just thinking out loud here :]

I get those fans wanting the game to be bittersweet like real war, but the game has those already. the ultimate player should get the ultimate victory and have the happy ending.

Sevial will fight you for Catalyst rights, since she is the Catalyst aparently. When that occurs, to quote Joker, "take pictures."

Only if Valve buys Bioware and lets them make games the proper way again.


Works for me!  I'd take waiting a decade for the next ME if it meant it was the greatest game ever.


ive been waiting about that long for a FreeSpace 3 game but I doubt it will happen so long as Actvision holds the license and Volitition remains with THQ... :(

Soon to be Ubisoft's. And waiting 10 years for the next Mass Effect is not an option. I would just move on. It's too long.

Exactly! If you want dark or bittersweet in ME2, well, you can go from every single person aboard the surviving, to all but Joker and EDI dying.

Oh sure, but the rights to their franchises would still lay with EA, which would be dead by that point. 
That kinda reminds me of the entire fiasco with Piranha Bytes and Jowood back in 2006. Fortunately, PB reclaimed the rights to the gothic series after Jowood died this year.


and what happened with the rights for FreeSpace. The other thing is we all may lose our dlc's and digital copies of games. We also likely would lose access to play some because of needing to register with EA online before playing. So a lot of great content would be lost unless someone took up the server maintenance and holds the license. 

This is where I like some companies better when they say no matter what happens to the company you would own the end user rights to keep playing the game, keep dl what you purchased and in general you own what you paid for for as long as you want it not for as long as the company exists

I can't find one but I didn't look too hard. It will be disgusting, but I have never seen it done before. I guess that shows how much people hate him...

ya it's why I just play the first two and just wish they could revive the series. Though ME is a pretty decent replacement

Yes! Most playthroughs would still land in the bittersweet category. Only the ultimate ones would get this. Though, with the EC halving EMS requirements I don't know... But oh well. It's quite possible the EC will be non-canon if there is a reveal. More fluid that way, as well as unnecessary.

I'll go to bed now knowing I was on top! Posted Image
