@ct

How do they feel? Wow. I mean, obviously they were thinking about that, but this is the part I simply don't understand, unless IT. Where were their testers - the people who told them how they felt? You know, in QA? How could this get past QA? Wait, aren't they having a conference about the game's QA in March? Just after the anniversary. Speculations...

Well, I think it's pretty obvious that if literal, this is beyond stupid. They didn't anticipate how people would feel at all. Especially considering the Brave New World reference. I've read the book, and it's clear it's a dystopia. How could writers of all people miss that? Is it even possible? That's why I think it must be IT -
Because it's too stupid to happen otherwise.

Truly a post worthy to be THIS'd!

Good thing we have this GDC conference coming up in March

YOU HAVE FAILED, I WILL FIND ANOTHER WAY

Repost! For great justice!

What is IT’s best piece of evidence?

The utter improbability that Bioware would write such an awesome, deep game with such great lore and characters, then apparently forget all of those characters, break the lore, and release a generally unsatisfying end the their awesome trilogy. The end of ME3 is arguably the most important part of the series. But then, after that, release more awesomely written DLC. How could they be awesome, screw up very badly, then be awesome again? Doesn't make any sense! So my biggest piece of IT evidence is BW screwing up that badly, because it simply makes less sense than the endings!

Basically if the literal endings are true (regardless of breaking themes and lore) it means Shepard and all of Shepard's friends and allies are just stubborn idiots. They should have listened to the antagonists (Saren, TIM, Reapers) the whole time. Instead they're just soldiers only able to look at the world down the barrel of a gun. That would not only make no sense at all from a writing perspective, but it would be totally, totally lame.

I also want someone to ask why the apparent moral of the story was something like this:
“The villains were right all along; the hero and associates were just too stubborn to realize it. Also, free will sucks, and gets everyone killed. Better to force something on everything in the galaxy."

Here's how I see it: Whether intentionally or not, BW has in fact indoctrinated much of the playerbase. The fun thing about that is you can't really argue it, because said portion of the playerbase aligned themselves with the reapers willingly. If BW didn't intend this, they indoctrinated themselves, much like what the reapers may have done.

Me too.  You can mod for heavy weapons. It's freaking hard though! I've tried.

MB I don't understand why you keep posting the faceless Shepard. How does that act like an emoticon? Anyway, which mission is that again? Koris?

This. Right here.

What would the point of the entire trilogy be? You have had one goal: Stop the Reaper. Not just the harvest- that is not enough- you must eliminate every single Reaper.

I guess I was wrong to stop Saren in ME 1, because he was only doing the right thing.

I guess I should've not killed TIM, but instead let him ascend up the elavator, so that he may control the Reapers.

I guess my Anderson wasn't the mentor, he was just a bumbling idiot who knew nothing in the end.

Incorrect, you never trust an enemy that has not only eliminated thousands of cycles, but uses a tool of indoctrination as its most dangerous weapon. If the writers couldn't have even foreseen Shepards indoctrination... Wait a minute they did, and tried to implement a sequence of losing control over Shepard... And it just so happens that the indoctrination of Shepard conveniently fits right in with the broken and "bad writing" elements of the literal interpretation. 

Yeah, of not IT (or something similar) Bioware has failed massively and doomed the ME series.

Not a clue. I like posting faceless Shepard because he has no emotion. Free of all weaknesses.

You mean with Shep sitting in the dark? Pretty sure thats after the primarch's son dies, as thats the only time I can recall when the shuttle is ever that dark.

Which is weird since you're on Tuchanka during the day. But whatever.

So you play MaleShep and think Shepard is best when he shows no emotion?

Why am I not surprised.

It is only personal preference how you like your Shepard to be. I personally think that Male Shepard is amazing.

@401 and masster

It was just a joke. Calm down.

MaleShep is actually sort of ok in ME3.

Weird post to get top.
