So I'm trying to work my way through insanity.

guess what?

half way through one of the later levels I get stopped at an elevator, because I guess one of the geth got pushed off of the catwalk.

I can't kill him.. and I can't open the elevator.

so now I must start at the beginning of the level, which pissed me off to no end.

FIRE YOUR GAME TESTERS!!!

IF THEY MISSED THIS...GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE THEY MISSED!!!!!

I'm sorry that happened to you Acid Mars, but I'd like to say that our QA department worked incredibly hard and long on this project. None of them deserve to be fired. A game like ME3 is incredibly complicated to test. (Most of us in writing were testing ME3 by the end ourselves, just so we could have more people looking at it. I'm not trying to excuse any bugs, but making a game problem-free isn't as straightforward as we'd like)

Now as far as bugs go this is very minor since it does not break the game in any way and yet it annoys me every time I see it since I can't imagine how anyone could have missed this since I have played through that scene on at least 4 different occasions and it happens every time without fail, surely I'm not the only one to experience this.

That one drives me nuts because we knew about it (It was introduced by an alternate line about Liara's drone from playing Lair of the Shadow broker), it was just deemed too risky to fix since it had the potential to mess up the entire conversation if we went back in at that point.

Bugs are constantly introduced during all phases of game development, because a fix or new content or changes to one section can cause a dozen things to break in another. Sometimes the ones introduced really, really late have to be let go if
they're unfortunate but not game-breakers.

EA don't pay their testers. You sign up, and they just give them a free game every time you come in, play for a couple hours, write some stuff and give your opinions on gameplay mechanics, weapons, feels, environments, etc... They told people to ignore bugs, so don't blame the testers.

I tested dead space 2 multiplayer.

We pay our QA staff. It sounds like you were part of a focus group, gorezeelar. They're very different things.

I'm sorry you're experiencing a problem like that. Out of curiosity, what mission is this on?
Luckily you should be able to access your autosaves. We've built in quite a few of them so that the loss of progress due to death in combat (or, in this case, being unable to progress due to a bug you encounter) is minimal.

@Sylvia...

It is so good to see a dev/writer posting and replying on the forums! Thank You! !

You and that giantic picture of Shepard are welcome! (My posts are pretty sporadic though, it really depends on whether I have some downtime and anything useful to say)
