Nepenthe Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 You mean the face change? The it doesn't matter what you chose and who you killed in the last game, and even though you imported a save from that game we're still going to ignore it. That's a stretch, the game is aware of quite a few decisions and reflects the appropriately, but Leliana's magic rebirth is pretty egregious. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

That's a stretch, the game is aware of quite a few decisions and reflects the appropriately, but Leliana's magic rebirth is pretty egregious. They've done worse. Right now, I am more than prepared to believe they are willing to ignore any decision the player makes or reasonably wishes to make.

HoonDing Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 What if you killed Zevran? Does he still appear in DA2? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Nepenthe Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 What if you killed Zevran? Does he still appear in DA2? AFAIK, not after the latest patch. (He was definitely wonky in the initial release, as were the Awakening end choices). You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
entrerix Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 anyone consider that, at least for the Rachni, they could show up as enemies if you killed the queen in ME1? i loved ME2, but am for some reason VERY apprehensive about part 3, probably because of how DA2 turned out... if they start doing mandatory preorders to get all the cast again like they did for ME2 and DA2, i think im going to skip ME3 and wait for the "complete" edition (or at least a 50% off sale on steam) Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Morgoth Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 It's probably gonna have some kind of Deus Ex Machina ending, like in War of the Worlds, where bacterias just killed off the aliens. Only this time, it's maybe the Protheans who return from some dark corners of the galaxy to kick butt, tell Shep some cryptic story, and vanish again. BAM DUM TISH! Rain makes everything better.
HoonDing Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I was happy to read that according to the leaked plot, my old theory about the Hunters of Dune/Sandworms of Dune Kwisatz Haderach "I'ma merge with the Reapers lololol" ending was correct. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Malcador Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Neat, I had wondered the same thing. I hope the cutscene before you merge is full of dramatic goodbyes.

Nepenthe Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 How about you add some ****ing spoiler tags to your auto-backpatting. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Morgoth Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I hope virumor just made that up, otherwise he might just spoiled the very reason why to complete ME3. Goddman virumor! Rain makes everything better.
Zoraptor Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I have no idea whether that is accurate or not, but it's been a widely distributed speculation, often with some Biowarism attached ("I want to be a Reaper!" / "Reaper - Shephard romance, problem solved!") . Given the religious overtones of calling someone "Shephard" it would hardly be a surprise.
HoonDing Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Well, I was only half serious. It's not like ME3 has only one ending, either. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Oblarg Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) I was happy to read that according to the leaked plot, my old theory about the Hunters of Dune/Sandworms of Dune Kwisatz Haderach "I'ma merge with the Reapers lololol" ending was correct. I've just read through the entirety of the leaked plot, and while it may hint at this it's kinda far from certain. What sounds *really* lame though is there are living protheans involved . If any of you want to read it, here it is: http://pastebin.com/KYJNWGug It's probably worth nothing that it's far from a complete plot summary - fragmented cutscene directions, mainly, and main quest descriptions.

Guest Slinky Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 If any of you want to read it, here it is: Had to take a look, like I will remember any of that when the game gets out Doesn't look like the Reapers can win, meh. Not a big surprise though.
Gorgon Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 They harvest a whole race in each cycle of the Matrix in order to create a ship two kilometers in length. I thought a ship needed to be metal, not flesh and bone, although that would be kinda cool I suppose. Pretty poorly though out otherwise. This is backgroundish stuff and not even confirmed, I think we can dispense with the spoiler tags. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Guest Slinky Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 This is backgroundish stuff and not even confirmed, I think we can dispense with the spoiler tags. Right. I'm sure nobody would mind if I would make a summary of the leaked story from the internal beta, because hey, I'm sure they will change it completely for the final version!
HoonDing Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 I don't really care about the plot, I just want to see Tali's face. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
greylord Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Well, the thing that I can't seem to figure out is If you get the best ending supposedly you MERGE with the Reapers...what the heck is that supposed to accomplish more than destroying or controlling them!? Why the heck would you WANT to merge with them and why is that considered the best ending? How is merging with something that destroys every sentient life form in the Galaxy every 50,000 years the ultimate ending that you would want? Anyways, sounds rather corny to me. Still am going to buy the game...you better believe that!!!
Malcador Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Well then you can have them..uh..share tech with the lesser races or get the joy of redeeming them. Or something.

Meshugger Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) The Reapers told it themselves in the first two games: "It is beyond your understanding" Edited November 9, 2011 by Meshugger "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy

Orogun01 Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Five bucks says that there's a thread right now on the BW social trying to make the fembot romanceable. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

How is merging with something that destroys every sentient life form in the Galaxy every 50,000 years the ultimate ending that you would want? There's actually nothing in the leaked information that states outright that this happens - read through it yourself if you don't believe me. Some of the dialogue with The Illusive Man sort of hints at it, but it's far from definite. The leaked plot info is fairly incomplete - there are mentions of some sort of prothean artifact, "the catalyst," "the crucible," and an actual, living prothean but not much on what these things actually are or how exactly they are used to defeat the Reapers. Five bucks says that there's a thread right now on the BW social trying to make the fembot romanceable. I wouldn't doubt it. One of the few things I did actually like is the protheans worshiping organic evolution . Kinda sets them up as a nice foil to the Reapers.

We must have read two different things then, because the one I read had several endings on it. Don't read the spoilers if you don't want to read the ending of the book before it begins... 1930.ACTION: 1931. 1932.Shepard must now make his final decision - to control the Reapers, to destroy the Reapers, or if they had a perfect game to become one with the Reapers. 1933. 1934. 1935. 1936.CUTSCENE: 1937. 1938.The DEVICE docks with the Citadel, Shepard leaps off the edge of the platform becoming one with the Reapers. 1939. 1940. 1941. 1942.CUTSCENE: 1943. 1944.The DEVICE docks with the Citadel, Shepard places his hands into the control mechanism and gains control over the Reapers. Earth is destroyed, and the Reapers leave. 1945. 1946. 1947. 1948.CUTSCENE: 1949. 1950.The DEVICE docks with the Citadel, Shepard destroys the tubes resulting in the Reapers being destroyed. Earth is also Destroyed. 1951. 1952. 1953. 1954.CUTSCENE: 1955. 1956.The DEVICE docks with the Citadel, Shepard places his hands into the control mechanism and gains control over the Reapers.

Earth is devastated. 1963. 1964. 1965. 1966.CUTSCENE: 1967. 1968.The DEVICE docks with the Citadel, Shepard destroys the tubes resulting in the Reapers being destroyed.
