[QUOTE=Dominicus;35546501][img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19495595/Castle.gif[/img][/QUOTE] i cannot tell if that is a good thing or not so ill rate you zing
[QUOTE=Eltro102;35546370]you know what would have been a really good choice at the end of me3? being able to send the Sun into supernova killing all the reapers in the sol system which would wipe out most of them, ie drawing the reapers close and then exploding the sun (and the charon relay just to make sure) to kill the reapers or possibly sending all the stars of the systems the reapers are in into supernova. This would kill all the reaper fleet, but not destroy the relays which could be discovered by the next "cycle"[/QUOTE] except there wouldn't be another cycle because all life is now radioactive vapor
[QUOTE=yawmwen;35546521]Yea, you couldn't destroy all synthetic life without destroying all computers and electronics. How does the giant space magic cannon figure out what is living and what isn't? That means all of those ships outside of Earth's Orbit are going to become giant meteors. That means that every person on life support in the galaxy will die. That means that anyone in space will die. That means anyone who relies on electronics or computers for water or food will die. Long story short, if you destroy synthetics you have signed a death warrant for most people in the galaxy.[/QUOTE] and anyway, how do we know there arent more reapers out there, in deep space? i mean the citadel didnt broadcast the space magic through its deep space relay so, the whole rest of the reaper armada could come through deep space with ftl and still kill organics (what if this was just the beginning?)
[QUOTE=Eltro102;35546534]i cannot tell if that is a good thing or not so ill rate you zing[/QUOTE] It seems wildly unnecessary and sort of crazy. "We have assembled the brightest minds in the galaxy. We have harnessed enough firepower to destroy entire planets. We shall use this great power to...kill ourselves."
[QUOTE=Cone;35546561]except there wouldn't be another cycle because all life is now radioactive vapor[/QUOTE] life will evolve again, and theres also the life on the worlds who havent discovered a mass relay yet but will later and also the supernovas would fling the mass relays away into new unexplored systems where there might be life
[QUOTE=yawmwen;35546576]It seems wildly unnecessary and sort of crazy. "We have assembled the brightest minds in the galaxy. We have harnessed enough firepower to destroy entire planets. We shall use this great power to...kill ourselves."[/QUOTE] Though I agree, last ditch system wide destruction events are no stranger to the Mass Effect universe, look at the Batarians and Protheans. Actually, now that I think about it, that was a human colony that detonated the nukes as a last ditch effort, wasn't it? I also recall Garrus saying something about war being worth it if one survivor is left standing.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;35546576]It seems wildly unnecessary and sort of crazy. "We have assembled the brightest minds in the galaxy. We have harnessed enough firepower to destroy entire planets. We shall use this great power to...kill ourselves."[/QUOTE] well its like an assassin shooting through himself to kill his target but the main point is if you dont want to control the reapers and you dont want to destroy all computers and you dont want to make everyone cybernetic then you could kill most of the reaper armada and everyone on earth whilst making a large amount of eezo for the future to use
[QUOTE=Eltro102;35546534]i cannot tell if that is a good thing or not so ill rate you zing[/QUOTE] I assumed you were joking. Considering blowing up the sun would kill everyone in the Sol System outright.
[QUOTE=Eltro102;35546597]life will evolve again, and theres also the life on the worlds who havent discovered a mass relay yet but will later and also the supernovas would fling the mass relays away into new unexplored systems where there might be life[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p77XnhzJz7g[/media] This guy knows what he is talking about. Those Mass Effect Relays won't just stop near planets. Those relays will be flung into stars, into planets(possibly killing life), or into deep space.
[QUOTE=Eltro102;35546597]life will evolve again[/QUOTE] not if there's no planet to evolve on, what with a supernova being powerful enough to vaporize the entire system [QUOTE=Eltro102;35546597]and theres also the life on the worlds who havent discovered a mass relay yet but will later[/QUOTE] if there is a relay the Reapers were there and their sun would have to be destroyed [QUOTE=Eltro102;35546597]and also the supernovas would fling the mass relays away into new unexplored systems where there might be life[/QUOTE] again you seriously underestimate the power of a supernova it would not be "flung" so much as it would just turn to cosmic dust
[QUOTE=Cone;35546702] again you seriously underestimate the power of a supernova it would not be "flung" so much as it would just turn to cosmic dust[/QUOTE] The Mu Relay was in a system that went supernova, and it turned out just fine.
[QUOTE=Grim Joker;35545971]Strangely enough, Starkid says that every single partially synthetic being would die as well. He didn't say "All synthetics will be disabled." he said "All synthetic and partially-synthetic beings will die." I get that it makes no sense, but it's a good example of Bioware coming up with an ending first and asking questions later.[/QUOTE] Bioware themselves said the kid was lying to Shepard. Who knows why they would do that. Pretty sure only the reapers were destroyed.
[QUOTE=Cone;35546702]not if there's no planet to evolve on, what with a supernova being powerful enough to vaporize the entire system[/QUOTE] Yeah pretty much this
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;35546719]The Mu Relay was in a system that went supernova, and it turned out just fine.[/QUOTE] wait really but then it wouldn't even be flung, just floating in dead space
[QUOTE=ZF911;35546728]Bioware themselves said the kid was lying to Shepard. Who knows why they would do that. Pretty sure only the reapers were destroyed.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I know, I was just bringing up that what the Starkid said in the first place didn't make sense. I mean, if he said something and was lying, that already adds confusion, but then the fact that he's saying something confusing and then is lying anyways really makes you question what Bioware was thinking.
[QUOTE=Terin7;35546379][sp]Do you have a video of this happening? People keep mentioning, but I have never seen EDI alive after the destroy ending.[/sp][/QUOTE] Replaying now with EDI. Will take video. (actually never seen it with my own eyes either)
[QUOTE=ZF911;35546728]Bioware themselves said the kid was lying to Shepard. Who knows why they would do that. Pretty sure only the reapers were destroyed.[/QUOTE] Can we get a source on this? I keep hearing people mention it but I'd like to read/hear it myself. Because if this is true, then how the fuck are we supposed to take anything during the last 10 minutes of the game at face value.
[QUOTE=Demon!;35546801]Can we get a source on this? I keep hearing people mention it but I'd like to read/hear it myself. [/QUOTE] it was in their Twitter or something
[QUOTE=Grim Joker;35546780]Yeah, I know, I was just bringing up that what the Starkid said in the first place didn't make sense. I mean, if he said something and was lying, that already adds confusion, but then the fact that he's saying something confusing and then is lying anyways really makes you question what Bioware was thinking.[/QUOTE] He wanted to test Shepard's resolve. He wanted to make sure Shepard had the fortitude to destroy all synthetics in the galaxy, to make sure that organics would be able to prevent synthetics from destroying them. That's my incredibly weak attempt at justifying that confusing piece of garbage. [editline]12th April 2012[/editline] For fuck's sake, the ending seems like it was written by a completely different team than the one that did the rest of the Mass Effect trilogy. The story is absolutely brilliant and well thought out most of the time. It's just everything past Thessia starts to get fucking weird.

Just out of curiosity, does your Galactic Readiness Rating decrease over time? Because I'm fairly sure it was at 63% earlier today, but after I turned it back on now it's at 62%.

He said that they debated about EDI surviving, due to her being made from Reaper tech, and they eventually decided she would live. Which shows that the kid is lying.

[url]http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/355/index/10225078[/url] This brings up a good point. Bioware unintentionally justifying genocide, bigotry, and segregation? I don't know if I fully agree with it, but it's still very valid.
Then why the hell would you make a game where the [i]single[/i] player game outcome is dependent on the [i]multi[/i]player? That has to be the most fucked up system of bullshit I've ever heard of.
[QUOTE=Lankist;35547017]Yep, which is gonna make the game real fun when the multiplayer severs inevitably go down (which, at EA's pace, will be in a year or two). [editline]12th April 2012[/editline] or perhaps the fucking vancouver hoodie poltergeist is just really fucking stupid[/QUOTE] In all honesty, I'm going to go ahead and assume it was a bug and wasn't intentional and he was covering for it.
[QUOTE=Lankist;35547017]Yep, which is gonna make the game real fun when the multiplayer severs inevitably go down (which, at EA's pace, will be in a year or two). [/QUOTE] By that time they'll have enough DLC pumped out for the game to make it possible to get the best ending without multiplayer.
[QUOTE=Eltro102;35545233]i know its probably been asked many times in this thread but is there any way to mess up your coal so that 1 piece armor helmets are off in conversations? I know there's and option for this but it doesn't work with collector armor (which is the one who's helmet i want to turn off( I cant find the helmet mesh to remove for it)) I dont mind if theres no helmet in combat really [editline]12th April 2012[/editline] maybe the reapers dont have some sort of restart functionality like joker probably restarted edi and the geth probably restarted themselves (it would make a cool cutscene though if you see all the geth falling and dying and your like "nooo!!" but then they all turn back on or a quarian comes over and turns them on and youll be like "yay" "happy" "fun")[/QUOTE] uhhh It works with collector armor just fine. did you select the right option?
