He probably plays as the Femshep
-
I wonder if he ads dialogue as he's playing.
-
That would be so cool! Even cooler if some voice actors were Shackers and made sound audio clips referring to us and posted them here :D
-
Invader Zim did that. Though he wasn't a shacker, just a cousin or friend or something.

Yeah, makes me sad that I think he was a shitty voice actor :/
-

Finally finished the game and I have no idea what the fuss was about, the ending was fitting and brought to mind many of the great sci-fi story endings...
-
Fitting for your version of Shepard. Not mine.
-
I don't think funneling you into A, B, or C, and even after that making all three the exact same, was very fitting at all.
I mean if you play it once, assume your ending is unique, and get the neat cut scene with the sweet piano theme, you might be satisfied with it.
I think a lot of the complaints were silly, and were just people begging for a happy, easily-spelled-out ending.
My issue was the laziness of it, and the needless addition of that confusing Normandy scene at the end that made no sense. After all, the crew on it were just on the ground, and two of them died running into the beam. But, they're fine now! -
What other great sci-fi story endings? Voyager? Battlestar Galactica?
-
Id say its possible to like it, but fitting isnt a word you can use to describe it. It really had little to do with the core tensions set up during the games (making moral or pragmatic choices - the renegade/paragon stuff, the responsibility for unforseen consequences - krogan, quarians, the struggle between loyalty on different scales -galaxy, species, organisations, friends, and actually the only interesting thing about the reapers (from the first game) - that they were an unstoppable incomprehensible force.)
With the ending as it is, all of a sudden the games become "about" synthetic vs organic life, which was only really set up in 4 or 5 lines of dialog earlier, and isnt really all that interesting because it hasnt been explored in a way that explains the motivations and outcomes of the choices. Its like the ending to another sci-fi plot that happens to mention the reapers. It would almost fit better in something like The Matrix.

I used to play in some games (mostly Amber and some Marvel superheros and drinking games) with Mark at university since he was in the gamers club there. A funny, multi-talented guy, who liked to party and was good at improv. He could open his throat and down a pint of beer in about 5 seconds. His wish/dream back then was to buy a chunk of hash as big as his head. He's actually pretty good at drawing, and used to do a comic strip for the university newspaper. I probably haven't seen him for about 10 years though.

And guess what.. they gave us a bespoked ending. Sigh...

To be sure, they have 9 different endings. Too bad they are all shit
-
-
-
-
So you don't care that...
potentially EDI dies and Legions sacrifice was in vein be cause you choose the "Red explosion"? That REALLY pissed me off and forced be to make the Blue or Green choice.
OR
Joker some how runs from the fight with squad mates in tow who some how leave Shepard in his hour of need so that they could make a break for the mass relay?
OR
The fact that the Mass Relays destruction srands all the ships in the SOL galaxy with a Earth in ashes and little to no resources forcing the remaining troop to ether kill themselves or go mad?
OR
The destruction of any Mass Relay supposedly has the force to wipe out a solar system?-

You didn't play The Arrival DLC then.
The Batarians are all nomads now because Shepherd blew up a Relay to delay the arrival of the Reapers for a while but it destroyed their home system.
-
-
-Yeah, I didn't pick red.
-Well if there's a large explosion, maybe you want to gtfo and don't have time to rescue anyone.
-Thems the breaks. Pretty sure they still have limited FTL - just have to find an abundant fuel source - or they would pool resources and rubble to come up with a new way of getting across the galaxy.
-True, but maybe it was more of a self-destruct? Or this boy-god thing designed them, so it knew how to prevent an explosion of that magnitude.
I do agree it all could be explained better, and in the DLC - it hopefully will be.
-
Mass Effect 2 "The Arrival" DLC. Mass Relays go boom. Galaxy goes boom.
-
-
"If asked why destroying a Mass Relay would destroy the system, Kenson will say that they are the most powerful mass-effect engines in the galaxy and the energy released from destroying one would probably resemble a supernova. There are three hundred thousand people on the colony in the system, and the resulting explosion would probably kill them all. "
-
-
They made it pretty clear even from ME1 that the Mass Relays have make pretty big booms if they're taken out. It's not just in the Arrival, read up on them in the codecs.
-
If they're destroyed through conventional means, sure. What happens in ME3 is unlike anything any organic has ever encountered.
Don't forget, the Codex is written as though it were for an audience without the player's knowledge. In ME1, Sovereign is described as a Geth ship. It isn't meant to be a 100% reliable source but rather a device for delivering background info in a more immersive fashion.

Wait so your idea of a good ending can only involve utopian outcomes where everyone lives happily ever after?
-
My idea of a good ending would be an ending that took into account all of the choices I made. Bump the Red, Blue or Green pill. Kill the god-child putting two in the chest. let me ride out. Honestly, I didn't expect any one to make it.

-
But it's a story presented to you via a game. Not real life.

Sci-Fi is about the future, unless its in the past.
The game has always been about your actions and decisions affecting yourself and others. You chose who lives and dies for one. Well in the end, you don't know that. Also there's also the matter of the Indoctrination Theory which seems like what BioWare intended from the start but then dropped but kept everything supporting it in.
This game was rushed is the bottom line.-

What about the choice of choosing to do nothing or choosing to disagree? Shepard HAD to pick a path? Bull. The developers chose to concentrate on DLC and multiplayer.

It made absolutely no sense whatsoever based on everything that led up to it. I'm not sure how anyone could have thought that was a "good" thing.
-
This.
Godchild: "You can either disintegrate yourself to turn into the Reaper Control Signal, rape everyone in the galaxy by forcibly changing their structure (and blow up all the relays), or kill all synthetic life, no matter how friendly...oh, and blow up all the relays, too. And yourself."
Canon Shepard: "Uh....I...don't know."
Most people's Shepards: "What the f***ing h*** are you smoking? You created a race of synthetics to destroy organics to prevent them from being destroyed by synthetics? Are you out of your f****ing mind? Tell those f***ing cuttlefishes to fly back into dark space and blow themselves up and stop destroying organics, you f***ing idiot!"
Gets even better if your Shepard made peace between the Geth and Quarians, because you're basically a legend to them now who'd make a great ambassador to establish real trust and all that.
But of course, Shepard just goes 'uh dur....okay....'
That is not good. No, that is not good at all. It's abso-fucking-lutely terrible.-
This needs to be put on several small sized billboards and set up throughout the BioWare offices. And in addition, printed on every page of a newspaper, rolled up, and smacked over the head of the person who made the final decision that these ending options were a good idea.

It's an interesting lesson if it was intended. However, i don't think it was an appropriate ending after playing all three games.
The entire trilogy has been about the player being able to make decisions that affect the world around them. Almost every single major decision would influence what happens next. You can't lead the player along like that for 100 hours and then suddenly take all that away in the last 10 minutes. There was never really any deep symbolism or anything fancy up that point. Mass Effect has always been fairly solid science fiction with some magic thrown in.
The current ending just doesn't fit in with the rest of the series.

This story was part of a bigger interview I did with him regarding a Mass Effect fan film he is working on. More details coming on that as well.
-
He's doing a fan film? That's kind of awesome of him

Does he just walk around and punch reporters?

Couldn't, although I could try to care less.

The problem with ME3's ending wasn't that it was "dark" or had "limited choices", it didn't even make any logical sense and was full of so many plot holes you could drive a semi-truck through it. It was insulting to the fans and was quite frankly, one of the dumbest endings I've seen since the end of "Lost".
-
[deleted]
-
At least Lost had a 'happy' ending. The ME3 endings were far from happy or even dark. It was just stupid.
-
-
Interesting as the originally said there would be no more 'extra Shepard added' I guess they realised, that no amount of rewriting was going to work, unless he was involved. I jut pray it makes some sort of sense..
