That is like, super levels of crazy. The real answer is Bioware was lazy and didn't think that the citadel (especially that part) wouldn't have human numbers/letters on its bits.

I, too, don't think they need to change anything. By the time they release a whole separate ending, the game will be out for months or a whole year. People will not care by that point.I mean, at this point I'm sure that whatever they do will piss someone off, either the people that are fine with it, or the rest who will leave just as dissatisfied with a new ending. We'd be in Spoiler OT 3 by then
There will always be different options, so someone's bound to get annoyed by new changes. There will be an OT25 by that time.
This shit be hitting Dan Brown levels of speculation y'all.
dafuq are you talking man?
I'm sure EA isn't fine with this. Whether BioWare wants to ignore it all they want, they can't.
This has to have some long-term consequences. If they try to make other Mass Effect games/DLC, I wouldn't even touch it. Even if it was free. As much as I love the characters and the universe, to know how it all ends? There's just no desire left to play it.
I can't be the only one who feels this way so EA would be losing out on sales, and we all know the only thing EA cares about it money.

And it's only been two weeks since release.
So Squall lays in a coma at the end of Disc 1 in FF8.
In that coma, he dreams of some fantastical world-threatening crisis involving a future Sorceress who is actually the chick he's crushing on in the here-and-now, as she turns into a crazy deranged Sorceress.
In those dreams, he sometimes slips into dreamlike states where he inhabits the body of his father, Laguna Loire.
In Laguna's mind, Laguna falls off the cliff in Esther into the ocean. While in a coma-like state, he dreams up the story of Mass Effect.
Can we go any deeper?
Maybe I shouldnt read the old spoiler thread...
Clearly it leads only to madness. Like some elritch machine slowly taking over your thoughts.
"Poison Solvers Using K2D
Try both the K2D and K2D sparse codes. Start with a low N, for example 7, and work your way up. If you put a number too large in for N, you may risk not being able to use your computer for a while—possibly a long while."
"Poison Solvers Using K2D9
(See p.292, problem 5)
Again, start with low values/initial values for N (7 is good), and work your way up (in increments of 10, or 5 once things slow a little). ""
---
N7
poison solvers
reapers = poison
n(7 is good)
n7 = jesus
"in increments of 10"
10 / 10 = 1
"in increments of 1"
thus with each installment of Mass Effect,
Jesus ala Shepard ala "n7"
solves
poison = Reapers
lol
Easily the best thing to come out of this whole controversy are the theories. The lengths that people will go to rework the ending into something that makes them less rage-filled is a sight to behold.
I like how he doesnt even put forward why this is important.
You'll have to ask the Wind Fish.

Someone seriously needs to convert that Animal House epilogue into bik video so PC players can replace the ending vids with that one.
Prime colors? Did they mean primary? Because those would be red, yellow, and blue, not green.
Because speculation.
Doesn't it have to do with the Geth/Quarians/Reputation/EMS/Sexual partner/Ratio?

That 1M1 or 8M8 theory stuff is just weird, mostly trying to speculate dates or whatever.
The indoctrination theory is obvious!
Apparently it was originally supposed to be a recreation of Rannoch, and you'd have hostile programs trying to keep you out. Then it turned into Tron with "puzzles."
Aka the Golden Space Casper Ratio
I ultimately thought that section was a waste of time. They could have just shown the history without the lame level.
In optics (light) they are indeed RGB. Color works different in pigments (yellow, cyan and magenta).
I was ok with how it looked, but I wanted to Tron it up. With the Overlord boss music playing.
I thought it's a nice change of pace, I don't need to shoot stuff every minute.
But the dream sequence, we can do away with those
The Overlord one was done better, yeah. I still liked it because it was a nice change of pace.
The concept of entering the Geth Consensus was neat enough though I can see why people would be bothered by the repetitiveness of blasting away at infected portions.
It did allow for more Legion, which is always a plus. Unless he died in your previous game and you had that makeshift Geth, lol.

Nah I like that they mixed it up but they didnt do enough with it. Especially since it sort of skimmed the surface of the whole tranhuman/AI theme with stuff we could infer from 2.
I'm also a fan of the Fade in DAO. I like when games mix it up. I just wish they had spent more resources on it.
The whole point of ME3 was that they were going to answer the questions to the Reapers. Instead of doing so in a logical, well-thought out manner they answered it with a bad literary trope that only caused even more questions.
But as to the second point of yours I agree. Shepard always questioned everyone throughout all the games and finally you're at the end and you just accept everything at face value. I don't buy it.
I don't know, Shepard's incredibly smug smile right after saying that was good, too "Keela sa'lai" (By which I mean "By the homeworld that I am standing on and you may or may not see in a few hours for yourself, if you aren't idiots." So, your call, are you idiots?) Really, all the Rannoch sequence needed was an opportunity to facepalm in the beginning. The animation is already in the game.
Also, apparently if you take Javik on both Tuchanka and Rannoch and have him along for both Reaper kills, he'll actually compliment Shepard and humanity as a whole on being so cunning warriors. Drunk Tali may have it right. He DOES like us.
Replaying the game is a little bittersweet, to be honest. On one had, the bulk of the game is still pretty good. On the other, I know how it ends.
Also damn this thread for making me laugh whenever I meet a Marauder in the game.

UGHHHHHHHHHHH. It kills me watching this knowing how everything turned out.
Check the OP. I'm WAYYYYYYYYY ahead of you.
Biggest letdown: When I got that mission from the Elcor ambassador and thought I was gonna have a land mission on Dekunna.
Oh the disappointment. I even had to go right back and talk to him since doing the Code of the Ancients sidequest already got me the thing I needed.
Also I still want my Rachni party member so I can spit acid at people.

There should have been a lot more philosophy of A.I. stuff in ME3, especially since that became such a dominant concept with the Geth and Quarians, and the Catalyst after that and his reasoning for the cycle. They only touched on it some in dialogue, and mostly towards the end.
What can change the nature of an A.I.? Better writing.
I did like Javik's staunch belief that every A.I. - and Joker - should be thrown out the airlock.

Javik is good cause his personality isnt warped by Shepard. He is a horrible, bigoted asshat. And I'm ok with that.

She was probably my least favorite squadmate, which is a shame because I loved her in 2.
But...thats not actually possible.
those titays motivated me.
Supposedly the kid talks with Fem Shep voice in one speaker and male Shep in the other, supporting even more that everything was in Shep's mind.
I wouldn't be surprised if one of the forthcoming downloadable content packs utilizes Eve's crystal (the one she gave to Shephard) to form the basis of a new ending of some kind.
Or maybe I would be surprised. I'm just speculating.
And I have no desire to revisit Mass Effect 3 or play any new downloadable scenarios, either. BioWare had its say. It shouldn't expect anyone to stick around for more after that six-car pileup of a conclusion.

It seems you want to go down the hard wayCome to me Indoctrination Bros, let's discuss the endings till the second coming of Shep.
Very well. But remember, you chosen this path.
It's good. My Quarian Infinltrator demands teammates.
