What if they were all canon?

[Geth Supremacy]

It was a very stupid get out of jail free card.

 

better than what you got.

Eh...

 

I don't know if I would agree.

They all are canon endings with respect to the ME Trilogy.  They are there written on the game discs and in the EC (if you downloaded it).  There is no "canon" with respect to the game that overrides what is actually written into the game itself.

 

All interpretations of the endings are valid interpretations... but they are still only player interpretations (including the IT). 

 

ME:A is a new game... so that does not mean that Bioware has to stick with any of them, acknowledge any of them, or officially debunk any of them in ME:A. Writer's privilege - They can start this new story of theirs any way they like.  They can write this new story of theirs in any way they like. 

 

If people don't like it, they can just not buy the game and play something else... and continue to write their own fanfics about the ME Trilogy.

I want Iakus' input on this.

Sylvius, too.

Where are those uncannily level-headed people when you need them?

When you're given an offer of getting out of Alcatraz and/or Azkaban for free you effing take the offer.

I don't care about ending but i think refusal would be the best option (we need reason to flee to Andromeda)

I just hope the game will acknowledge the choices i made throughout the trilogy (class, relationships, personality, big decisisions)

[Abraham_uk]

Can I keep beating this dead horse please?

 

Then I can keep this up even 60 years later to people who have never even heard of Mass Effect.

 

 

Grandfather Abraham: So. I would like to talk to you about a video game franchise called Mass Effect.

Grandson: What's a video game?

Grandfather Abraham: You don't know what a video game is. Hmm. Well. Back in my day we used to have interactive stories where you pressed buttons and stuff happened.

Grandson: Laaaaammmme!

Grandfather Abraham: We also used to spend all our time in front of screens. Then we would carry our computers with us. Where was I now?

Grandson: So your generation was addicted to computers. Lamest generation ever.

Grandfather Abraham: Don't you want to know what Mass Effect was?

Grandson: Don't care. I'm going to go outside and breath some fresh air.

Grandfather Abraham: Well, since you're going outside, perhaps I could drive you to somewhere nice in my fancy car.

Grandson: What's a car?

Grandfather Abraham: Well before the days of teleporters, we used to move about in motorised carriages on four wheels.

Grandson: You are the most boring grand parent ever. Why couldn't I have one of those cool grandparents who fought in World Wars 3 and 4?

[Toddler Tosser]

 

 

Nope, none of the endings are cannon.

[Draining Dragon]

Back in my day we used to have interactive stories where you pressed buttons and something awesome had to happen.

Fixed.

No, no, that's not gonna happen.  None of it matters, it's a clean slate.

[slimgrin]

As far as I'm concerned, Shepard trilogy doesn't exist. It is just a figment of our

 

This. If Bioware even attempts to link Andromeda to ME3 beyond some codex entries, I'll uninstall, burn my PC, my house, strangle all my kittens and set off for a new life on Pluto.

I'd reenlist to fight a world war.

Burn your PC?

That seems excessive.

I knew someone's going to post this sooner or later.

[PSDSTRYOR]

But surely a little codex entry wouldn't hurt anyone

[Sylvius the Mad]

Where do people get the idea that IT was ever popular?

I like it.

 

Which could probably be taken as evidence that it's not popular, as my opinions tend not to be commonly held.

 

But I also think the endings worked better before the Extended Cut.

... um... just another fine example of all the rational thinking that goes on here.

But it would assume that the folks on the ark found out what happened next, and I believe the whole idea is that they never find out.  So is the codex what they know about the world, or about the world in general?  I actually don't know the answer to that....

Urdnot Mordin saved all your asses! And now its up to me. ZipZap Zip, The first Krogan Spectre, Champion of Tuchanka, Saviour of Sur'Kesh and Illium; Destroyer of Irune, to protect you.

Sadly they're sending me after Geth. GETH. We all know they aren't the real threat. However the council will never trust Cerberus. But ZipZap Zip? The Krogan is a legend, a bloody icon.......

They're sending you after Geth?  Uh...you may want to watch out for any odd looking ships in the area.  Especially ones that look like rocks and have their own dramatic theme tunes.

Reminds me of the time I left a cripple behind to save myself from collectors. Like Aria says though we'd hardly be a family if id gotten spaced that solar cycle. So it turned out for the best.
