Just a reminder that my Origin name is EmiW if anyone wants to add me and play some multiplayer. Maybe we could add peoples usernames and gamertags to the initial post so people don't have to sort through old threads to find other players?

If I manage to get the thread 61 started, I will do that for sure.

But in other news - why aren't you a cool kid like us and have it on the 360? I know you have a gamertag...

I got about halfway through A and had to stop. Why do you insist on rubbing the stupidity of the ending("s") into the wound?

Cuz I can.

And because I'm still pissed off that there aren't any little blue children

Finished the game; Clocked just at 40:02. Not bad for an Insanity run. (Though about twenty hours was spent on the "Critical Mission Failure" screen)

Must say, the internet was working me up to believe the ending was the worst thing to come into the gaming world since the Super Mario Bro's movie.. Honestly, its not. That's my opinion on it though, and while changing them would make me a bit more satisfied with it, I know it'll never happen.

However, after I finally went back to the Bioware Social Network after weeks of departure, I found an interesting theory that, and hear me out, actually made a bit of sense. The guy claims he has "proof" but I see none; However, it makes a s*** ton of sense story wise, and made me think that it actually might have been from the original script.

Give it a look for yourself.

I was just about to post that. Its WAY better than what we got, which enrages me even more.

I did find myself wondering why harbinger did not have a bigger role in this game? Seeing as big of a role he played in ME2, it didn't make any sense to me that they would only give him a mere mention and about 15 seconds of screen time.

And it still kills me that they could have a fairly large DLC ready to go at launch, but couldn't patch up the ending to make more sense? I don't care about the development process timetable, if the game wasn't finish (which it wasn't), you shouldn't be sending people off to make more content for your broken game.

Can you imagine how KOTOR 2 would have been received had they done the same thing?

Anyway, I'm pulling out my soldier playthrough now, though I think I am going to respec it (something I didn't need to do with my adept). She was fairly dependant on adrenaline rush in me2. But with the weight system in me3, I'm going to forget about powers and load up on the heaviest weapons I can.

But for a bonus talent, how good are the more defensive talents like barrier and defense matrix?

[stacy hamilton]

Wow, i actually managed to get my renegade score nearly full by the end of ME1. Without being total [censored] or racist even. I'm on a roll!

Now it's time to continue on, and become the new buddy of the Illusive Man And have to fix that face too, for some reason in certain light the skin looked like plastic And also going for the priiize

What happens to Javik in the end? I've been watching videos of him online and he's my favourite character so far.

In the final conversation with him, he says that he'll visit his homeworld "to lay the ghosts to rest, then join them". But since the Normandy crash-lands on an uncharted planet in the "good" ending with no obvious way off the planet, it's unknown what actually does happen to him.

Err well..

Spoiler

You approach him staring out at the reaper threat, and talk about the ancient Protheans and how they failed (for about the 5th time). He then says that he is proud to serve under you, you are what he was to his people, and thats.. Pretty much it. Just a motivational pep-talk.

We don't know what happens to any of the Squadmates after the end.

And for your viewing pleasure, another..

Right thanks

The biggest flaw that I have with the Mass Effect series is this, that the human race has only been in-contact with alien civilisations for 29 years. Seriously wtf? Does nobody find the level of power and the distribution of humans in Citadel space highly un-realistic?

Guess that makes sense. Out of curiouity, If I were to pick up the series for the PC, could I use a 360 controller, like Skyrim, or would I have to deal with normal mouse controls, which I am horrible with.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm level 30 now and about to start the suicide run. Too bad I got 2 have a new game+ though and not just continue to ME3. (Seriously not going to ME3 with my relationship being with Tali, and not my Miranda.)

[emily grieve]

I just got the game today, was so excited, pop it in, import character, and... "OMG ERROR ERROR WE CANT IMPORT YOUR FACE YOU HAVE TO START OVER DURRR" seriously, what the heck? is bioware working on a fix? seems like an awful big thing to miss. <-- That's what she said...

[Kara Payne]

so i'm at noveria in me1, i have never used biotics before, and i have to say laria's singularity is awesome. Might consider dropping ashley for her in my party. Also does it seem like you level insanely fast in me1? with only a handful of side missions done i'm level 25 with most of my abilities i use near maxed out.

Also whats all this "pansy talk" of not being cut out to be a renagade? haha actually this is my first real [censored] bag character, even my past renegades were only rude when the situation called for it.

[Amanda Furtado]

That's it?!? I threw away my playthrough 1 with Miranda for a proverbial peck on the cheek from Tali?!?

At first, I didn’t know how to feel about it. Child’s Play is a great charity that helps sick kids. I felt a little bad about people taking the charity’s good name and using it to try and shame EA and Bioware. It felt…greasy. I don’t exactly know to qualify my emotions regarding it. Pride and shame?I started investigating the

http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/355/index/9845819/1

, and I found out that it was totally an unfounded feeling on my part. While some expressed doubts, the overwhelming feeling is that even if Bioware doesn’t give up a new ending, the movement’s energy and time are spent in more constructive ways than flaming on Destructoid or Kotaku. The supporters of the Retake movement have made a real effort to channel their anger and disappointment into something good. To paraphrase many of the posts on the thread, “What’s the worst case scenario, we helped some kids out? What do we have to lose?” Many who don’t contribute due to age or financial restrictions are still tweeting the charity drive and encouraging others. This is the first time that I know of that fans of a game that have been disappointed so much, have turned around and done something this positive. Even if Bioware and EA don’t give them the new ending, they’ve done two things: contributed to a worthwhile cause, and started a trend wherein gamers of all stripes can do something other than flame and bomb reviews. Hell, a number of the voice actors have retweeted the charity drive.

Over $10,000 in less than one day in donations for Child's Play.

Edit: It just doubled to $ 23,000 since I made this post.
