Then how come they completely nullified the indoctorination theory for ME3 with the refuse ending? That's a slap in the face to fans.

It gives a pretty good impression of what bioware considers "listening"

Listening and kowtowing to demands are two very different things.

Not every fan is a supporter of the Indocrination Theory, some poeple were pretty clear that they did not want it made canon, Bioware listened to them.

Also, this thread doesn't even have anything to do with DA3.

That's a completely different team with a completely different lead, regardless. There's nothing anybody would have to go back on for DA3, not yet, because it's still in early developement.

So I'd say apples and oranges. And yes, I think they made the wrong calls, repeatedly, with the ME3 ending.

The DA team hasn't tossed around the term 'Artistic Integrity' yet, so lets all be thankful for that.

How is it that IT fans can delude themselves into thinking that IT is popular?

Because of all the evidence and facts. If you can't see them, then it's because Bioware's secret plan to indoctrinate the player  worked too well.

This has nothing to do with DA 3. Please take your complaints to the appropriate forum.

I asked why IT fans think it's popular, not why IT fans think it's true.

I don't see any reason to debate the merits of IT itself on this board. If I want to see IT laughed at I'll go to the ME boards. But I am curious how people convince themselves that "the fans" agree with their own positions, even when the evidence says otherwise.

I think the answer is still kind of the same. If everything they see points to one truth, then how can other people not also see it and believe it? It's purely delusion on almost every level. Of course, this is the opinion of someone who obviously doesn't believe, so any answer with real weight behind it would have to come from a believer.

And I agree,IT doesn't need to be discussed further on this board (I know I know I just furthered the discussion, I'll punish myself by watching one of their 'documentaries').

I don't think the IT theory was supported at all. All the "evidence" surrounding it was just angry fans making leaps of faith about things that either weren't there in the first place or things BioWare clearly never intended to imply.

I know this is a Dragon Age board, but I had to jump in and give my two cents since I've gotten a bit sick of people assuming that everyone who didn't like the ME3 ending supported the IT theory.

Listening implies no obligation to do anything.

Expecting them to cater to your every whim is ridiculous. Being offended that a major studio didn't completely disregard their own plans to indulge a deranged fan theory is nonsensical.

If Bioware listens to the fans in crafting the game then the game would be awful because most of the fans on here have stupid ideas that suck hard as any forums for any games do.

If they make their game and let fan "ideas" craft peripherals then it'd probably turn out fine.

QFT

I would've personally preferred to see IT theory utilized(as its more narratively consistent with the repeated message that the "other options" with Reapers are all traps) but not using IT theory is hardly an example of not listening to the fanbase. From what I can tell most people were concerned about having a more explicit ending for their choices and having a happy ending(a happy ending actually clashes narratively as well, but w/e).

Not Dragon Age related.
