What makes you think the OP isn't new to ME3?

So why did Bioware change the explosion from the relay? Or the fact that they don't explode like they did back at launch?Robosexual wrote...

That depends on whether or not the Crucible releases the energy the same way as a massive rock. A lot of us on BSN didn't think so (before EC) and after EC Bioware confirmed that, albeit with a graphical change during the cutscene.
The codex in ME3 even states when a Relay is destroyed the energy released will devastate the entire star system which is why plans to destroy relays in certain systems to eliminate Reaper forces was shot down. Thus the Relay's were not destroyed only damaged but in a repairable state. The Crucible is connected to the Citadel and as you stated the Citadel is a Relay meaning it has the exact same, if not more, energy contained in it meaning if it was destroyed there would be no possible way for the earth, let alone the fleets, to survive that explosion. Thus again the relays were not destroyed.
Or the Crucible released the energy differently than a massive rock.

Ignoring the fact that a lot of this post is bizarre and nonsensical;
Of course not. You can take any view you want, it just has to hold water.
Bullsh*t. You don't want anything to hold water. Any argument is irrelevant to you. Someone can simply tell you they believe the breath scene, and you're relentless. You should leave them alone after that, but you're unable to. Whether you know it or not, you come off kind of like you're attempting to be domineering. So if that's case, f*ck you and leave me alone. And if it's not the case, f*ck you and leave me alone anyways. You're just as nasty as David.

OP: Join the long list. You'll never convince the blind faith fans who do more work than bioware trying to connect inexcusable inconsistencies. They're really mad at you for not doing the same, by the way, if you couldn't tell from their posts. And they are looking forward to the set of razor blades that are going to be included in the next release of Mass Effect.
Because razor blades are imaginative and artistic....

You stated they were destroyed, when a relay is destroyed the energy released destroys the star system the relay is in. There were two relays in the Sol System, The Sol Relay and the Citadel, if they were both destroyed there is absolutely no chance of anything surviving, The fact that the Sol system still exists shows that the energy released was minial indicating the relays were not destroyed as they were able to retain there energy.

To clarify the confusion over whether or not the Crucible released the energy the same as a massive rock, for those that thought it did, in the best way possible.wolfsite wrote...

Or that the Crucible released the energy differently than a massive rock crashing into it.

You are able to save Chrono from death in Chrono Trigger. Also, I wouldn't consider "Heavy Rain" an RPG. It is an interactive adventure game. I also though God of War was a straight action game but I haven't played that one so can't comment with any certainty.

It's not changed. You're the one saying that a destroyed relay will destroy the system it's in, because that's what happened when a massive rock destroyed one, and I'm just pointing out that relies on the assumption the Crucible released the energy the same way as a massive rock crashing into it did.

Your argument fell through and you've resorted to trying to project motives onto me in an attempt to come across as some sort of victim. It wasn't you I attacked (despite all your attacks to my character on this last page with made up motives) it was a debate on the argument you presented. If you don't want those, don't have them, or at the very least don't try to pretend the person having it with you is "nasty".
Anyway I don't usually respond to posts like this, though it would be silly of me not to defend myself here. But our debate finished, so yeah we're done. If you want to start it up again I'm fine with that, but if you just want to attack my character in an attempt to make yourself look like a victim, don't expect me to respond.

Low EMS maybe.
Unless you're going into HYR territory, and imagining that all his/her legs and arms are blown off and thinking it's just a torso and head and it's the last gasping breath. I can't really say that isn't the case, but I'd say it's far fetched. Unless Bioware is more trollish than I thought.

The codex quite clearly states that the release of energy from a mass Relay (regardless of how it is destroyed) will destroy the system the relay is in.

No, the Codex states that military planners have considered destroying mass relays in their quest to stop the Reapers because, due to Arrival, they now know they can be destroyed, but haven't actually gone through with it. It also doesn't say "regardless of how it is destroyed", it just says a ruptured relay liberates enough energy to ruin any terrestrial world in the relay's solar system, which is true.
Saying that the codex states the release of energy, regardless of how it's destroyed, from a mass relay will destroy the system it's in just isn't true. The codex just states that military planners have considered destroying relays due to the events in Arrival and the amount of energy it released.
