"Another colony needs our help, Pathfinder"

So long as I can say "**** that colony. Send it a farewell package of **** yous".

I really think that confirms that we will have no resolution of the ending to ME3. So either we leave during the reaper war (most likely) or they don't mention it at all which by default the "canon" ending  would be destroy or control. Since those would be easy to account for and "forget" about. That or ME1-3 never happened Given the kid and grandpa at the end of ME3 it is possible it was legend, not actuality. lmao.

 

Of course there won't be a resolution to the events of ME 1-3. After all, that's the reason why the next Mass Effect takes place in Adromeda in the first place.

I know, but there was some argument about that in other posts. I figure this is just a pretty confirmed "we aren't going to do **** about it". I can't say I'm surprised and honestly relieved because I want to forget that ME3 ever happened.

As long as there's some meaningful reward/point on exploring I am on board. It doesn't have to be ground breaking but I dread going around exploring just for the sake of getting the 15/15 annoying hidden tokens. Your enviroments should either be interesting enough to be explorable without reason or at least have something worthwhile about them for the experience. Else it's just a chore like in DAI.

The N7-day teaser shows Earth as the ARK or whatever it is, leaving Milky Way, supposedly. You can tell it's Earth because it has the blazes of orange like it's ravaged by Reapers.

I don't expect us to see more than that as far as trilogy references go.

You're making unsupported claims. I don't see anything about a working build in the Summer of 2013 or of development beginning before ME3 was finished.

Oh. Look. Typical back pedaling when you are wrong. If there was already a working build six months after the Citadel DLC, that means the game had already been in pre-development for a long time. If you knew anything about game development, you'd know how silly you look right now. Admit you were wrong and move on.

The hell are you talking about? Neither of the links you provided support your claims. The only one who looks silly here is you.

Huh. Pretty interesting Citadel was released in March of 2013 and MEA was already well into development by September. Are these sources good enough for you that ME3 was NOT the last game? MEA had already begun development before ME3 was finished... Seriously, I went to google and found these articles pretty easily. You can do better Killroy.

Plus we were told before ME3 was released to hang on to our save files. ME3 was just the end of Commander Shepard's story.

[goishen]

I think that's a bunch of bull snot.  I don't think that they're gonna have a direct way to transfer your save files over.  At most what they'll have is a website setup much like the Keep for DAI.

Yep. Some folks are just in denial that ME3 was never the ending. BioWare never claimed it was the end of Mass Effect. Nothing but lies.

And yet you can't find any sources that back up your claims.

[pdusen]

Quantity comes at the cost of quality, people have a right to be concerned.

 

Yeah, and I can come up with a canned response that has nothing to do with what you said, too. Want to try that again?

[Drone223]

So basically people shouldn't express concern with something that could end up being very tedious and boring?

They said it even before ME2 was out:

As we're doing parts one and two, we have a really difficult challenge in terms of creating very different outcomes and yet being able to continue the story. The good thing about the third one will be that we no longer have that constraint and things can diverge as far as we can make them go.

That's similar to the quote Hanako was referring to. It supports ME3 as an end point for the series. He's saying they weren't concerned with making the end of ME3 continue-able.

Without context that means nothing. He could have said that last year.

And there's canned response number 2.

Should we even bother commenting on what's basically a 3rd party talking about their own impression of what boils down to uncomfirmed, non-final gameplay?

 

This is "my cousin's friend's sister said" stuff and you know how accurate that usually is.

Bioware hasn't released much info, so until Bioware releases more info on what to expect people can only speculate.

[von uber]

To be honest the best indication that they never intended a sequel to ME3 is ME3 itself - the divergence and complete and utter changes to the galaxy in the original endings make that quite obvious.

The thing is that it's the only kind of information we have. So either discuss this or blonde hanar LI.

I think Mass Effect 3 being the last installment in the ME universe was about as likely as marvel is to stop publishing superhero comics. I mean, sure, there's a chance bioware didn't intend to continue the franchise and there is a chance that marvel might at some point redirect its business model towards... idk, manufacturing of fishing equipment. But in the end, more likely than not, Bioware always intended to continue their most successful franchise...

[UpUpAway]

I see absolutely no problem with Bioware continuing the Mass Effect story even right from where ME3 left off.  Shep did not get a chance to actually activate the crucible... we watched him/her die and ascend on a lit platform (classic Christian image... going through the Pearly Gates and Final Judgment).  He/she never knew what actually happened to the galaxy and neither do we.  In the end, there is only one fate for the galaxy in the Mass Effect tale... and that is the one Bioware did not write into the ending of ME3.  Which ending you selected matters only to you... what form of government do you think works best - dictatorships, democracies, or military anarchies?  They all have flaws.

 

Whether they will now write an ending and describe what actually happened to the MW galaxy and continue on the story at a point in time after those events or whether they will morph us back to a time before those events occurred is their artistic privilege.  They are telling a completely new story in ME:A and they have made that abundantly clear.

 

As for telling us they weren't going to continue the franchise and then deciding to bring out ME:A... well, any company has a right to change its mind.

 

But in the end, science does not provide the answers most of us require. Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, How did it all begin?, science answers, Probably by an accident. To the question, How will it all end?, science answers, Probably by an accident. And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, Why are we here? and, to the question, What moral instructions do you give us?, the science-god maintains silence.

Sure they could change their minds.  And in fact did (or more likely, the EA suits did).

 

But they didn't really leave themselves in a good position to do so.
