[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;34935409]without spoiling what actually happens, one thing in particular occurs in every ending which makes everything you do entirely pointless so the entire point of the series has been completely undermined[/QUOTE] If it's what I think you're talking about from when that idiot spoiled the script a few months back, oh god why
anybody else realize that the ending basically amounts to [sp]the age of strife from Warhammer 40K[/sp]
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;34935361]Well looking it over, i'd say they FUCKED EVERYTHING UP.[/QUOTE] I was already boycotting the game, but [i]damn[/i]. I always thought BioWare was a very talented studio, just that recently it's gotten a little too much 'for the money'. I never would dream of them making a bad game (Dragon Age 2 was made by a different studio, the 'fake' BioWare).

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;34935443]anybody else realize that the ending basically amounts to [sp]the age of strife from Warhammer 40K[/sp][/QUOTE] OH DEAR GOD NO ANYTHING BUT THAT [i]why would they fuck up the plot so badly?[/i]
I'd say I was surprised that this is happening, but we know that would be bullshit.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;34935465]OH DEAR GOD NO ANYTHING BUT THAT [i]why would they fuck up the plot so badly?[/i][/QUOTE] Holy shit, somebody please tell me this isn't serious. Tell me it isn't this bad.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;34935509]Holy shit, somebody please tell me this isn't serious. Tell me it isn't this bad.[/QUOTE] If these are, in fact, the only endings the game has and they play out like we think they will...then yeah, there's going to be a lot of unhappy people.
Man, now I feel like I have nothing to talk about or to contribute cause the spoilers are all the rage... Spoilers are too mainstream.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;34935516] in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only sheperd[/QUOTE] How about we stop the Jennifer Hepler bullshit unless it's a legitimate criticism, hmm? She has NOTHING to do with the Mass Effect series.
I need a picture to accurately portray my emotions right now... Quickly, someone flip his smile upside-down! [img]http://i.imgur.com/QRkFK.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;34935509]Holy shit, somebody please tell me this isn't serious. Tell me it isn't this bad.[/QUOTE] Ooooohhh, it's that bad Actually it's possibly worse, considering that the[sp] krogan will probably engage in bloody war on whatever planet they're on, completely annihilating the last remnants of society. at least humanity survived in 40K[/sp]
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;34935532]If these are, in fact, the only endings the game has and they play out like we think they will...then yeah, there's going to be a lot of unhappy people.[/QUOTE] Well, then let's hope they're not. I'm holding out for a chance that rectifies this whole thing, because if it's what I think, I'm going to be fairly sad next Tuesday. Or Wednesday, whenever I get around to beating the game.

I'm still being a tireless optimist and I refuse to get upset before knowing all the information. We just don't have any evidence to the contrary yet.

[i]These are quite possibly [b]final[/b].[/i]
I came down here to be like "hay guys got ME1 to replay" and the first thing I see is something about disappointing spoilers. Nothing to do here.
Almost finished my Me2 insanity runthrough! Well, not at all. I'm finished the Collectors ship, then I have to get Thane, Samara, then Tali. Then a few more loyalties. Then LoTSB. Then Overload. Then, I have to finish my Me1 femshep. Which I'll have to carry through! HOLY SHIT I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR ALL THIS Although, I am working harder on prepping for ME3, than I have ever worked on any schoolwork/actual work

We just don't have any evidence to the contrary yet.[/QUOTE] Eh, I'm just keeping hope that maybe these are outdated or only some of the final endings. I know, it's ridiculous, but I'd rather keep that alive. Besides, maybe the ending won't seem so bad in context, as you have said. The ending itself may be debatable, but maybe it'll still be an awesome game. Worst case is, we all collectively forget the ending and make our own canon.

As for there possibly being more endings...hell if I know.
I saw that live action commercial at a bar and there was no sound, and all I saw was people screaming and crying and honestly, when the Reaper swooped down my first thought was "HOLY SHIT THEY ACTUALLY CAME" it took me a few minutes to realize it was an ad.
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;34935630]Worst case is, we all collectively forget the ending and make our own canon.[/QUOTE] Paying for a game that I have to make my own ending for because the base experience is that awful. Worst case scenario seems like the nice way of putting that.
Has anyone seen this thread yet? lol [url]http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/9536382[/url]
Reading over the ending theories and shit, the Endings sound VERY SIMILAR to [sp]Deus Ex 1[/sp] (Saying the game is a massive spoiler if you know the endings.)
