I like this guy's approach, even if I disagree with some of the thing he said about Dragon Age. I'll watch it when I finish this playthrough of Awakening.

Watched a bit of it so far; get back to me in a year or two if you want to hear my thoughts on the whole thing.
Honestly, I didn't think it was all that great. Most of the observations seem rather banal: Planet exploration in ME1 involves a lot of similar-looking environments? Who knew? Similarly, what the maker of that video says about the P/R system is mostly obvious, and when not obvious, wrong (there actually are a fair amount of renegade decisions that really are just about being as sociopathic as possible, like the renegade resolution to the Anoleis situation, punching Khalisah Bint Sinan Al-Jilani, etc.). So apologies to the OP, but I didn't really find it all that helpful.

Its an alright video. It is a retrospective after all.

Sorry for making a post without spending 2.5 hours to watch the video. Disregard everything below if it is a requiremenet for having an opinion.
If one needs to spend 2.5 hours explaining to a player as to why the ending makes sense, the ending is not done right. After pouring 100+ hours of gameplay into the trilogy, the ending should make sense to me, or at least it should not entice desire to punch walls and punt puppies. I have not picked up the trilogy until well after all the spoilers and rage were out. I knew the general gist of the ME3's ending before I started ME1. And still going through it (EC and all) made me...less than happy.

Me too. Is TL;DW a thing?
I suppose there's an audience for this stuff, but I've never understood why a 2-hour video is superior to just presenting the argument in text.

I watched most of it, and it is fairly well structured and thought out. However, we still get down to one thing, as I stated in another thread...
You can't sugar-coat a dogfart. All you can do is run through it, grab the potpourri and open the windows.
Maybe Bioware will learn. Maybe they will even learn how to end a trilogy - not just one or two games. But I'm not forgetting the hype, and the lies. I will remain on the fence, not preordering anything from them ever again. The completely depressing miasma of ME3 as well as the rancid dogfart ending(s) ruined the series for me.
I will watch from a distance and see if they can recapture the magic.
