Orogun01 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I've said it once before and I'll say it again: the sooner Bio dissolves - the better.

Azdeus Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Atleast Bioware is around to make Obsidians games look even better. Edited December 15, 2010 by Azdeus Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Malcador Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Pft, some Renegade. That's called 'smart' action. The way some of the Renegade/Paragon actions are defined is a bit wonky, like the trigger when you're looking through the scope at Garrus' place. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 "Technically speaking its EA's new game' Bioware is just a subsidiary at this point. bought out twice now. Only a matter of time before they get merged in with some other studio in 'cost saving measures'." Nope. Still BIO's new game. BIO is part of EA, but the people in control of BIo are the same as always. Don't forget that the docs are members of the EA board. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Nepenthe Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) I don't get to do this often, but Volourn is pretty much right. The Bioware doctors were, post acquisition, moved to key positions within EA. It's safe to say that on some levels, EA became a part of Bioware, instead of the other way around. The interrupts don't have checks in the first place, nor is, thankfully, every action either renegade or paragon.

Purkake Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 You know what would make the masselectors even better? What if they are actually the remnants of the good Reapers, all but wiped out in the Great Reaper Schism eons ago. They tried to give up the whole destroying civilizations thing and move on to a more sustainable diet, but the other Reapers were having none of it.

Gorth Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Wild guess time... Sheppard is going to find the "Creators" who build the Reapers and ask them nicely for the shutdown sequence code? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bound to get too metaphysical. Still, not likely since the whole crux is too unite the galaxy against the Reaper in a DA kind of way.
