Exactly. They should have gotten the Quarians to help them build their dyson sphere instead of magical individuality caused by reaper tech, which Legion made a big deal about rejecting in 2 when the Reapers offered them a reaper body to house the consensus.
God fuck this. Did the guy who wrote Legion not write the Geth in 3?

No, he left BW and joined Zenimax, IIRC.
Lol one mission with narrative consistency from a developer priding themselves of story-based games.

Awesome let us know things that Kotaku/others wouldnt say.
I'm curious the first thing they say... "WELL WE FUCKED UP!" would be nice.

They're not going to say that because the official company line is still that the ending was great and they're releasing an extension to the ending because gamers were too stupid to appreciate it.
you guys are jerks!

I find it funny they don't want to commit to anything. I wish they would just outright say no that's not what happened.

we wanted tali to be a real person and for the moment to be totally meaningful, so instead of showing it to you in the video game you play (which wouldn't be tasteful) she gives you a 5x7 framed photo of an edited stock image
The fact that they choose to make the quarians just humans with three fingers is nearly as insulting as the stock photo usage. She can look alien you know. Garrus isnt human looking you still got people fapping over him.
"Will Extended Cut provide new endings?"
" no no new endings, but closure."
"Why was that content not in the game at launch?"
"The dev team stands by what we release i n the core product, we're very proud of it (mild applause from audience)." "It was important though, for us to listen to the community, and community feedback ovbviously didn't come until the game came out"
"couldn't have included in game because we didn't know there was huge demand for it "
---Come on, really?

See, this shit makes sense, at least given the insane amount of variables that ME3 games could have from imports while dealing with a budget and a deadline.
What happened between here and the ending?
I really wasn't that attached to Eve though, and I didn't really get much of her hopes and dreams except for the general: I/we want Krogan babies and a future that's not in a nuked planet. It's pretty much what Wrex talks about in ME.
It's annoying that they don't have a camera in there.

Best part of the Tali photo is how they photoshopped two fingers off from the model, lol. I'm not usually one to call devs lazy, but that's pretty damn lazy.
Whats even lazier is they didnt shop it correctly so she look legitimately 3 fingered. Some dude in his spare time shopped the photo correctly.
Disturbing.
Haha yeah
It's so bad. Someone just used the Photoshop eraser tool to remove the ring and pinky fingers, filled it in with a dark shade and called it a day. Must have taken 5 minutes.

The one about the people in the Citadel? Yeah, I was wondering that as well. Supposed to be such a busy place...

So now they're saying people on the. Citadel might have lived? Lol
Beaten.
Beaten.
First questioner: when citadel is moved, what happens to everyone on it?
Answer: One of the things in the citadel codex is that anyplace -inside- the citadel has emergency seals, and some exterior areas have emergency seals that can keep atmosphere in. Even if the Citadel is destroyed (which it may or may not be in ending), "is not like the entire things blow up." People on (in) the arms may well still be alive. No reason to assume 100% casualtties
