Yeah -- there's a thread in the S&C forums right now -- someone was asking what happened.

I left a lengthy reply.

Imagine that.

Not surprising with how ME3 went and now the closure of the C&R forums

I know, I left for a period of time when the C&R forums were closed/locked. I think for many of us it was a last straw that we really didn't matter and so it was like going to work and coming home only to find you girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever had all your stuff packed up and sitting on the door step for you and all the locks had been changed so you couldn't get it in. 

And that's how I'd describe what locking the character threads was like, as such many of many of us just left it was the last straw of betrayals and hurt so we decided we were  better off without 'em. In this case the "em being BW/EA. Yep I'm rather good at using such metaphores or comparasions to describe things.

The Miranda fans are getting a lot of the blame for that happening.

I still think it was silly to close the entire C&R forum. Instead of trying to fix the problem they just decide to close it. I guess thats how Bioware deals with problems. They just ignor it and don't deal with it at all.

You mean after months of the tempermental Miranda fans who are quick to become defensively hostile and months of threads filled with upset fans BW decides it's best to lock the forums.... yep it still screams to me as BW saying "Shut up, we don't care, we don't want to hear from the unhappy fans, so here lock."

Pretty much.
They weren't moderating these forum like they should have been. So the solution is to close the forum.

Things probably wouldn't have gotten so bad if bioware would have just admitted that some were unhappy with their game. Instead of addressing the problem they just ignored it and a lot of the fans. Of corse things would get out of control so they are just going to ignore the issue.

[Hisilome]

Heh, I remember coming back after a few weeks' absence and finding the C&R forum shut down; I was stunned a bit, then Thrazesul told me what had happened...Really, BW ignoring things will never work for them in the longrun; do they really think they have too many game fans perhaps, so they can afford to lose a large number of them?

[JECW]

I'm starting to think they maybe they do think they have so many fans that they can afford to lose some of them.
If they believe that then they are sadly mistaken.

I have to agree. buttware will NEVER create anything like Halo or CoD. And IMO, FPS gamers are far more fickle than RPG gamers. We are in it for the long haul, while they are in it until they get bored (which is easy in ME3). So who is going to lose here? Yeah, buttware is gonna lose. I hope I'm around to witness the fall.

[Sable Rhapsody]

A belated happy holiday to all of you lovelies. I'm at my folks place in Middle of Nowhere Desert, USA, so Internet's been a bit shoddier than usual. Hope you're all enjoying yourselves.

[mnomaha]

Guys...guys!!!!

I just bought Fallout 1 & 2 and FO Tactics for like $7. Old Skewl my lovelies!

Oh, but it will wait. I've rolled Daniel (Dnaiel) into ME2 and been screenshotting (is that even a word?) the hell out of it.

Lemme know if you need ME2 Dude(note bi)Shep. I can even put that Village People outfit on him, poor bastert. I rather like Dnaiel (it was a type, but I kinda like it). I would do him. He's a lovely carmel shade with vivid green eyes. Yummeh!

[Stilographium]

Hello again, it's me, DragonSlayer's sis -- finally on my very own account.

So, I have a question about ME1: are there any paragon/renegade interruptions in it at all? Because my brother has been playing it about six hours now and he hasn't seen any. Or will they just appear later in the game?

//edit
@mnomaha I see, thanks for the info!

[mnomaha]

Hm, I think the interrupts were introduced in ME2. IIRC, you just had to rely on the good ole dialogue wheel in ME1.

[gearseffect]

@Stilographium you just used the dialogue wheel in ME1 there is no interrupt system.

@Squeegee, to put it kindly I find much of the Miranda fanbase to be very temperamental.

@Mnomaha, WTF there is a village people mod? *facepalms* Now I'm wondering if you can get a more metal version of the mod ya know more Judas Priest Rob Halford?

[mnomaha]

@gears...I just saw a thread that compared Diana Allers to...please be sitting...Blackie Lawless.

Also, no there is not a mod like this. one of the casual outfits available just screams "edit for censors". It's awful in so many ways.

[gearseffect]

WTF? NO NO Link where how I can't I someone is high omg this is too funny omg hahaha where is the link omg someone is high for sure haha.

Ohhhhhhh wait that causal outfit the raider or whatever it is Merc outfit yeah that's why I never use it.

[mnomaha]

Oops, sorry luv, didn't see your reply.

http://social.biowar...ndex/15407390/5 page 5 if it doesn't work right.

[gearseffect]

It's okay I sometimes don't see replies either. I fail to see the connection of how allers looks like Blackie. Also noticed everyone in the thread just ignored that persons post.

[mnomaha]

I admit I did giggle. Love that picture of him though.

[JECW]

That thread is funny. A lot of what they are saying in there is true.

[gearseffect]

 I always thought Allers looked like Snooki here
also I'm pretty sure that photo of Blackie is from '96 right before the release of Still Not Black Enough, I still laugh at the grundge killed rock thing because some bands were alive and active very active. 

Hey remember the old ME3 Thane thread? We used to just go of topic and back on and off kinda like the new thread here, ironicly this "New" Thane thread used to be the old one now the new one is the old one.

[mnomaha]

That thread is funny, and of course, that Dean guy is there. He must work for buttware or something.

And no power on Earth can make me look at a Snooki picture. I do NOT see the appeal.

[gearseffect]

I'm not sure she has any appeal she's just dumb from an equally dumb show called Jersey Shore. I think all those anti-birth control people should watch that show or parts of it. But I've never really watched it except for on Beavis and Butthead when they made fun of it watching it.

Wait Dan who? Buttware is now back to hiring people to wander the threads and act like a fan or whatever like they did with Dragon Age 2?

Dean the Young. He always seems to be avidly supporting buttware.

[JECW]

I noticed he was the only one really supporting bioware in that discussion. They seem to be ignoring him because no one has responded to his post yet.

[Elana.S]

 Hello lovely Thane fans. I think you are a like-minded audience for the longform romantic Thane fanfic I've been working on. I just posted the first chapter. It's going to go through ME2 and I have plotted out ME3 but shall reveal nothing of how I may or may not be modifying his fate!
It's kind of cerebral so it's titled "The Phenomenology of Shepard". It deals with the themes of memory and death in their relationship.
Here's chapter 1! I'll be posting on a weekly basis for what looks like a long, long time. 
I hope you enjoy it!
