With that last Tweet, did Priestley basically confirm that ME3 was an unfinished product?
Both are quotes from that show.
Didn't you notice that the synthesis ending was similar to BSG?
No, but you're free to extrapolate.

that's what I assumed at first, but then some people started saying a certain criteria had to be met in ME2 in order for the "Wake Up" thing.
I didn't meet those, so i thought it must be related to the EMS (mine was high iirc).
But yeah I still don't get the motive behind having that "ending" vs the other one where he's a dick.

yea....I know. re: all three points.
3000 is EMS, the 7000 is your max. When your Galactic Readiness is at 50%, all that means is half of your max war assets are effective.
Apologies if this has been posted before
James Edinboro is our hero.
Probably already brought up, but the ending...that's it?!
I picked destroying the Reapers, and all I see is them getting wiped, Joker flying the Normandy to its doom, and it surviving and the post-credits scene. I was waiting for more, like what happened to the rest of the crew, other planets, etc.
I heard about the disappointing ending, but having experienced it now really hits me. I'm not even mad, just really disappointed like hell.
So I shot The Illusive Man after he shot Anderson when the renegade option popped up. What happens if I left it alone? TIM say anything more?

RockPaperShotgun has a refreshingly even-handed take on the ending.

I don't agree with a lot of the defenses, but that's probably my own opinion taking precedence.

Mostly because a lot of people couldn't handle the religious stuff at the end. It could have done without the patronizing "modern day" extra ending, but it actually did a reasonable job of rapping things up while still leaving some questions unanswered.
So far only Tuchanka was the real standout.
What's this "Wake up" thing you guys are talking about?
jason the catalyst tell Shepard to wake up after the elevator to heaven since he is clearly not bleeding to dead
You could say that, yes.
Bioware is copying Squeenix' Final Fantasy XIII-2 ending confirmed!
Oh. /disappointed

You actually think people are copying FFXIII-2?
Also, went back to find the videos.
No, because if they had, they'd have said "To be continued" instead of leaving us high and dry.
You're right. I need Shepard to go berserk while losing half of his eyes before being stabbed by lances ten times. Now that's hawt!
Also, Giant Liara, where art thou?
Funny you brought up Evangelion. Only hit me now that The Illusive Man's room/office reminds me of Gendo's in the show.
I never noticed that either. Gendo's also a bit of an Illusive Man, and he's almost like a weird father figure for Shep.
NO FATHER I WON'T DO IT!
And Shepard masturbating to Ash's comatose body in the hospital?

Interesting pic from ME1. Not really related to the ending but still cool.

dat film grain.
Jesus, this means everything after the Normandy was destroyed was just a dream!
Vega complains about this constant hum he hears, as well . . .
But the rooms all have glass.
It would have been nice to visit the statue in ME3 and for someone to mention the noise.
I wonder why they removed it. ;;

Not sure if you already knew, but here is information regarding the statue.
Nice one

The Normandy is a mass relay

Does that make any sense? How could the Citadel have a back door to Ilos without the Reapers knowledge? I know they had indoctrinated Protheans and that it was highly classified, but with the Citadel being the central control hub (?) for the Reapers, it doesn't make much sense.
I never noticed that. Any details on when and where you heard it? Or was it just random?
The Reapers never made it, the Protheans did.
''It's in there if you look..'''
What a shitty excuse for the upcoming retcon, though I'd rather have that than keep the RGB ending as it is.

They're playing the last 10 mins of ME3.
The wiki didn't mention that. I need exhaustive data.

Well played my friend.
wat. which locations? it would make sense in the hospital and refugee camp.

But they did know, thats why they sent Saren after it.
The Keepers were disconnected, any remote power over the citadel they had was gone. I'm assuming the plot hole of the catalyst always being on the citadel is that it doesn't interfere or is dormant most of the time.
There were Protheans that waited in stasis until the reapers left, then went to the citadel and sabotaged a lot of the reaper stuff, and then starved to death for some reason. So they never became collectors.
This exhausts you Shepard.

The Reapers knew, but the Protheans disconnected the Keepers from the Reapers' signals. So they had to send in Saren through the conduit to manually turn over control.

Mass Effect is pretty unique for a space opera universe where people are paranoid about A.I. and already prohibit it in the beginning.
