[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35443386]Open endings are not always bad, especially when the future is not clear. Especially in a game that revolves around player choice.
Another ending which I think could have worked would be where there is no conversation with the catalyst whatsoever - Shepard, in his last, dying, moments, activates the crucible - It fires, destroying the citadel, and we just see it being blasted apart around us from shepard's point of view as he whites out.

I didn't know about that, but as long as it's written fairly well then yeah, I don't see a problem with it.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35444734]Thing is that doesn't fit in, because it's a nice simple explanation, so why would they bother hiding it rather than being all "YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND US"

He could find some clue, piece together the puzzle, form a basis for an understanding of why they exist. Then he confronts them with it and they eventually fill in the blanks.[/QUOTE]
Because when Sovereign said it was true, which simply illustrates how completely fucking clueless you are. In ME1 the Reapers were the only ones strong and smart enough to stop Dark Expansion, which is why the line exists in the first place. That Mac Walters can't understand the plain english Karpyshyn wrote is HIS problem, not ours, and it shouldn't have become our problem either. Your defense of laugh out bad writing is going to be little recompense to the people who are going to be out jobs in a couple of years.

Well I thought it'd be ME3 spoilers but now I clicked it and got spoilers for Moon instead, which I was planning to watch soon.
Dangit.

Every time MST3K gets referenced I grow a little happier inside.
Stupid request, but I unfortunately started the final mission on Rannoch, only realizing after that in order to perform the paragon option to save both fleets I had to first do the other Rannoch mission where you defuse a bomb or save a quarian squadron or whatever. Is there anyway through console command for me to halt the mission and revert back to the Normandy so that I can first do the other one (my last save before the mission is 10 hours back and I really don't feel like replaying it all)?
I don't think that's possible, however, you could download a save editor and make it so that it appears as if you've done the aforementioned mission.

I worry about the save editor. Not that I've needed it, but if I'd had to use it I'd worry it edited the concealed.ini or something like that which gets you banned from the entire game, single and multiplayer.

Nothing wrong with open and ambiguous endings, it leaves the player a level of their own interpretation and the unknown element can be used to good effect. Of course ME3 disappeared up it's own ass a few minutes before the ending so it leaves the player confused before leaving them stranded. A shit ending, ambiguous or not.

I've been using it for some time now and haven't had any troubles.
But if you feel unsure about it I would not advice you to use it against your own better judgment.

In simplest terms, ambiguous endings only work if either (and only) the results of the story OR the circumstances of the story are ambiguous. It cannot be both, otherwise you aren't really telling a story.
For instance, had they completely explained the Reapers and neglected to show the results of Shepard's actions, while unsatisfactory, they would have given enough information for the ambiguity to lead to more interesting places.
Contrarywise, had the results of the adventure been concrete and clear (Shepard saves the galaxy, we are told what happens to all of the characters, etc.), the motives and means of the Reapers could have been left ambiguous and open for speculation.
The latter is the route they SHOULD have taken. The Reapers are a force of nature. We do not need to know why they reap, only that they must be stopped. Hell, they don't NEED a motive. They work just fine as an embodiment of arrogance and hubris, so sure of themselves and whatever they decide to do that they simply wipe out entire civilizations because they can. Now THAT'S scary. That there's something out there so beyond us that they don't even recognize us as lifeforms, but simply as playthings subjected to the whims of the masters of the cosmos.

I have no problem with the FUTURE of the galaxy being as ambiguous as it was back in ME1, I do have issue with Anderson fight on up being ambiguous to the point of teleportation. Context is EVERYTHING, and this endgame and ending has NONE. Walters and Hudson fucked over their own company and their own friends.

"saveedit-r79_b97.zip" is the one you will need to edit your saves.

It'd be good if they did play on themes of decadence and the decline of civilization, even throw in a few frontier or ghetto survival elements. It'd have to be done in the previous games, or at least early in ME3, but it'd work well and be a good motive.

thats sort of how a business works.
perhaps you consider buying games from a certain company to be some manner of tithe, but the rest of the world considers it a choice that can go in the opposite direction on any whim.

When you promise a bunch of things and not only fail to deliver, but don't even TRY to deliver, and then admit it later, you can be damn sure people will be pissed off.
So I'm planning on replaying ME3 once the summer DLC comes out. Should I get the Javik DLC beforehand?
