I can't put my finger on it, but something about her face has changed, too. Her face is not as expressive, for whatever reason. Those ass-shots got a chuckle out of me at least. Can't be mad about that when they went as far as putting EDI in a sexy body.
Where does Orianna disappear to once you've got her father off her, btw? She seemed to vanish from the scene immediately. Another bug, or just sloppy?
Replaced here generic model with a different generic model?
Lay in bed, fully clothed, with her? AWWWWWWWWWW, YEAH!
I did it too, best ME dance ever.
I would have loved getting Kasumi and Jacob on the Normandy.

Like every other minor character, she probably gets teleported to the Citadel where she can probably die off-screen.
I'd expect Miranda to have the good sense to go somewhere else.
But then again, everyone on the Citadel is likely dead anyway.
Check Youtube. If there isn't a collection of those on there now there will be in the future for sure.
Man, that was rough. I only found out later that you could suggest an identity change to her.
But then again, everyone on the Citadel is likely dead anyway.
Traynor is worse. I've repeatedly mistaken her for other people around the ship.

Likely? That shit exploded into Volus-sized nuggets. She's dead. The Elcor are dead. The Volus are dead.
Everybody died.
That's how we do it in SPACE!
But how do you use the sea shells in the bathroom?

I can't even figure out what they were going for with the ending. Who thought it up? What were their ideals behind it? Did they think people would honestly like it?
It's like they tried to piss people off. But why?

I have to admit, I was disappointed that my FemShep was going to have to cheat on Liara, to get with Traynor. Being able to have Kelly on the side in ME2 was amusing. Thankfully I saved her!
Just so that she could get reaped when the Citidel was taken

LOTS OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE
One possible train of thought, going by the "Speculation for everyone!" note: they may have interpreted the massive fandom around the series as evidence that a "conclusive" ending would be disliked due to leaving too little room for the characters to expand in people's minds, so they opted for "who the fuck knows?"
Stupid, yes, but entirely possible.
Maybe Miranda just like how her ass looks in white hexgrid.

I'm trying to figure out how Mac Walters and other top development people can do all of these interviews, say how they're not going for this and that....and then make something that does exactly what they said they weren't going to do.
Like that one interview that was done I'm assuming before launch with Mac Walters that was posted today. He specifically says they didn't just want "space magic" to explain everything in the ending. How the fuck can you say that with a straight face, knowing the ending you guys created?

It's gotta be that the ending and beginning were done by somebody else. It's the only thing that makes any sense.
Hey now, you can't say that for sure. After all, whoever was on the ground with you in London teleported to the Normandy just in time to crash land in Jurassic Park (and possibly came back from the dead in the process), how do you know everyone on the Citadel didn't do the same?
Drew left so we'll probably never get an answer from him.
At this point, I don't think people would know HOW to finish a story like this. The Reapers are taken care of, so I guess that was enough for them.
What I really want to know is who the hell made the Reapers? That little guy? Is he an organic or a machine?

I see you're speculatin'. Keep it up. Bioware wants lots of it.
why else would he kill himself?

Vent god said he was controlling TIM and TIM could never control vent god

Shepard is very persuasive.
Link?
The ending was plenty conclusive. The conclusion just is that most of the galaxy is completely destroyed/fucked up beyond recognition, and Earth sure as shit is in some kind of trouble from the goddamn Citadel exploding right above it. Essentially the choice at the end is just what colour you want the mass relays to explode with when they destroy most of the habitable planets in the galaxy.
Well we know Mac came up with the ending at least. We saw his writing on the notebook paper and we got a quote from him saying how we didn't need to know about the ME universe at the end, when we're talking to starchild. I wouldn't be surprised if he was responsible for all of the child parts, which are the worst parts of the game, and everyone else came up with most of the character interaction and development.
These were some of the questions I wanted answered at the end. Questions that I thought were going to be answered.
Damn you Bioware >.<

Well, I think they could have either had the Reapers win or lose, without Starbaby being introduced 10 seconds from the end, had some resolution with the characters (some of which were developed for around 90 hours of gameplay!) and maybe had an ending that didn't tear away firmly established lore (Spoiler Alert: If all the relays blew up, pretty much every inhabited system is gone)
....and yeah, you know what? If you did all the stupid errands, made peace between all the warring races, saved the lives of billions ... why the fuck not a happy ending? The "everything has to be bittersweet, or the hero has to fail" schtick is getting old and especially sucks after spending so much time doing everything along the way.
We all might as well just set the game to action mode, for all the good anything else did. From the very beginning, not just this game.
Here's the post from this thread from earlier in the morning.

Wow, did he turn in the wrong script, or is the man just completely insane?
I would have been perfectly fine with there never being an explicit reason for why the Reapers wanted to harvest the sapient species, other than to make new Reapers out of them. I liked the idea of our galaxy basically being a fruit tree for a group of highly sophisticated beings, and that they would harvest other galaxies when they were ripe for the picking. This would have kept it in line with the cosmic horror themes established in ME1 (which are also, I imagine, a big part of the reason that the Reapers look like Cthulhu-oid tentacle monsters).

Considering that we were fearing the worst, the fact that he was "alright", is actually pretty decent. And he did have a few moments, so.

I was just thinking that myself. After reading the stuff that Hack Walters keeps saying I keep thinking "I got it Bioware shipped the wrong version of the game".

Yep, had similar sentiments however many pages back.
Yeah, I mean this is by far the most important question after "How do you kill them?"
Also, (we're calling him vent god now? well ok) vent god says that he puts the previous species into a reaper so that they could "never die"----so what happened to the Prothean Reaper? It failed so they made the Collectors. He needs a new plan
Was he supposed to be Hispanic? Couldn't really figure that part out.
What I still don't understand is why didn't they just keep it simple instead of introducing the god-child?
Just imagine after Hackett started saying that it wasn't working, Shepard stood up, played with the console some more, and then badabing, badaboom the crucible works, they fire on the reapers, Harbinger is destroyed and the other reapers begin to retreat. Scenes of forces on the ground celebrating, the various fleets onboard start going crazy, Hackett says some inspirational shit, orders the fleets to chase after the reaper retreats, thanks Shepard for his work, says they're gonna win this thing, the the Normandy picks up Shepard, the crew greets him, everyone is celebrating, Shepard gives a little speech, reminisces on all thats lost, but talks about the future they've gained, everyone is happy, emotional moments, maybe a little something something from the love interest, a couple last words from Shepard along the lines of "we did it", credits roll.
Who has a problem with that, honestly?
Sure, doesn't account for individual choices, maybe some want more closure, maybe more backstory of reapers, but still, that has to be better than mother fucking star child. Like why couldn't they have just done something like that? Anything besides introducing something completely unknown.
