Tale

My life would never be that wonderful.

I already did my part about the intro when the demo came out.

It doesn't sound like they rushed the ending, as I initially assumed. But given all the iterations they went through, it seems like they just never could settle on how to end it. Like in one, Garrus and Liara die outright. Another says "sense of hope," which I don't think is anything like where we ended up.

I less say that's amusing and more that it's depressing. They want desperately to believe there is something there other than what was received.

I don't wish to make potentially unfair claims about Mr. Hudson. But that doesn't mean I'm not thinking them. There is a decent discussion to be had about where the lines are separating detachment, where one does not really understanding the situation, dishonesty, where one is afraid to face the truth, let alone admit it to others, and sheer bloody salesmanship, where one knows what's going on, but twists it around and smiles at you the entire time. One of those is the reason I can not to go the mall.

That just pushes my buttons. Sometimes I forget I even have buttons.

Everytime I hear about projects getting cancelled, I get Ritual and Ensemble flashbacks. And if this was Sawyer's project, that's a great loss for us all. Is Obsidian running just the South Park and one other team now? And we don't know what the other team is? Or do they still have three projects in the pipe?

Emos, Eskimos, Europe, or Europa. Just not each other.

Please, everyone, just stick to discussing the topic and not each other. If you can't manage that, it would be best to leave the thread altogether.

War assets do not affect that. IGN is wording it badly. It's a conditional, not a result.If (WarAssets > 3999) && (Anderson = Lives) then Shepard = Lives; Not If (WarAssets > 3999) then { Anderson = Lives; Shepard = Lives; }

Not as much as they like the turret sequence. Which has a reload mechanic, too... I played a bit more of my no-reload run yesterday. Discovered my favorite line in the entire franchise.

Explains why Zaeed died in my first playthrough. It was with my character which I basically said...screw you Zaeed, I'm helping the workers! You can help the workers fine, you just need to do a charm check at the end.

I think you just misclicked. Her bonus power is domination. Like AI Hacking, but for people. Which was pretty awesome.

Lots of them are back at denial. Remember that Kubler-Ross doesn't have to follow the order it's listed in. The current popular theory is that Bioware implemented a fake ending. Y'know, to simulate the player being indoctrinated. And they'll release the real ending as a surprise. Because that's sane.

Yeah, that's an autosave. I crashed in the final sequence, booted it back up, hit "resume" and was back at that spot.

Considering they ended with I'm not expecting them to stick to any one theme anytime soon.

30ly/d is Reaper speed. 12 ly/d is Alliance speed. Lifespan shouldn't be half as problemantic as resources. Only the Quarians are repared for long term travel.

About the ending

Nobody so far has reported anything even at 4000 EMS with only the default 50% modifier. 1500 more seems unlikely.

Pop, I think you make a good point in the idea that ending DLC would open up some doors better off closed with regards to what is acceptable as DLC. But I also think that if they were rushed, as I agree it would seem, then Bioware probably isn't all too satisfied with the endings either. I wouldn't put my money on an ending revision being released as DLC, but I couldn't discount it completely given that.

I don't think saying what essentially amounts to "there is no ending at all, because it isn't real" is giving Bioware any credit. I think they just consider the endings that do exist would be better off if they did not exist.

I'd hardly call a "nice" end.

Got the Game of Thrones season one Blu-Ray. Trying to finish up Farscape before I hit that up.

No, they still had it randomly. I've seen the Particle Beam being used with a cutscene that fires. Which is awkward to see it firing bullets.

ME2 was still better than this. A repeat of ME2 would have been fantastic.
