Yeah, every company has at least one terrible employee, bioware is no exception.
Well, I just beat the game, and I'm pretty much where everyone is feeling.
Coming from someone who's read most if not all of the Codex in-game, I don't think the ending would've aggravated me nearly as much as it did had it not come entirely out of left field. There is no explanation, no reason for what had happened, to happen.
And even then, it pretty much ruins everything that was already established - "It was the plants all along." So many better explanations and answers to the Reaper problem could have been presented and addressed, but they missed the mark.
But alas - you guys have discussed this to death.

It doesn't help that they had a really short development time to do everything they needed to do. Didn't DA2 only have 18 months of dev time?
oh god i was making a joke and it started a shit storm

Yeah, pretty much the problem with the ending is that it's badness reaches in the future and in the past of the universe we learned to love.

Would've made it a bit better if every now and then they show you how fucking dark the ending will be. Not plain old anti-war shit, real dark shit, shit that makes you see just how fucked up absoltely everything will be by the war and nothing will ever be the same.
For the most part the galaxy felt the same as it did before, nothing wrong with that, but looming on the horizon is more than war, and they really didn't capture that.

More than that, the [sp]destruction of the Mass Relays[/sp] came out of the fucking blue (like most of the last 5 minutes) and makes very little logical sense.
[QUOTE=Flicky;35100990]Oh, not at all if you don't count how if you have <1750 EMS the Earth is destroyed in a wall of flame/storm of electricity.[/QUOTE]
I went to Earth with 1600 EMS and I can confirm this
i was like "oh shit" when that happened
serves me right for having never carried my saves from me1 to me2, and me2 to me3 v:v:v

Even with a non-import, how could you possibly have such a low EMS? Did you skip half the game? Alliance assets ALONE give you something like 1300.

50% galactic readiness
without that whole system in place i would have been at 3360

But you still must have missed an INCREDIBLE amount of content. I'm nearing 4000 EWS with 60% Galactic Readiness. The Alliance alone gave me 1497.
Max, did you do ANY of the side missions?
[QUOTE=ParoshWasHere;35104589]Max, did you do ANY of the side missions?[/QUOTE]
He can be forgiven if he didn't. The fetch quests were really boring. And there was only like 4 or 5 actual side missions
[QUOTE=Sardonus;35102385]actually, an edit
the Reapers say they're willing to leave
but only if Shepard sleeps with Harbinger
Shepard takes one for the team, and Shepard's ass is never the same.
It's a heroic sacrifice.[/QUOTE]
Still a better love story than Twilight.
[QUOTE=ParoshWasHere;35104589]Max, did you do ANY of the side missions?[/QUOTE]
didn't do most of the "go there, fetch me this" kind of thing, didn't handle aria's clan thing well either
i don't really know what i could have missed, i did the actual sidequests when i saw them on the galaxy map

Did you get the Krogans, Turians, Salarians, Asari, Quarians AND Geth on your side? You must be missing at least a few of them.
Also, those fetch quests add up more than you think.

got the krogans, got the turians, i don't recall if i got the salarians since [sp]i didn't sabotage the cure[/sp], got the asari, got the quarians but [sp]i stopped the upload halfway through[/sp] so I didn't get the geth
also while i'm at it
i was on the normal difficulty, with the mixed playstyle (can't remember what it's called, it wasn't story but it wasn't action either)
i did not have to take cover for the [B]whole[/B] game except against a few turrets
i just had to walk up to ennemies and shotgun/melee them in the face
am i the only one
also, I fucking hate the Salarians, I wish they would go die.
Hate to say it, but it defies imagination how your EWS was so low. *shrug*
And I found the game challenging, but I was playing on Hardcore and I rolled Vanguard, which has shit for shields.
[QUOTE=WubWubWompWomp;35104646]also, I fucking hate the Salarians, I wish they would go die.[/QUOTE]
but they're lizard bros and love science
they're not like asari or anything, nothing to really hate
Going through the files it seems like the [sp]destroy ending[/sp] is the one they focused on most. Most files point towards that as the default. Plus that ending has the most variations compared to the others.

Except for the Dalatrass. Cunt.
Wish I could have slugged her like I did with Han'Gerrel.

[sp]I reckon so. If they were to do a sequel MMO or something, it'd have to be based on destroy with the galaxy reforming into something organised after centuries of dark ages. Control would be fucked up and synergy would be OP and change the scenario too much, they'd figure out some way to get the Geth back though, in all their glory.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Revan564;35104185]I'll just continue to believe this is the true ending until Bioware says otherwise.

this was my reaction too
Did a full renegade play with default femshep
Pretty much everyone died
[sp]I took the Geth and slaughtered the quarians, then at the end of the game I turned off synthetics and killed the geth.. oops[/sp]
