Did anyone else screw up their romance?
I romanced Ashley and Tali respective in ME1 and ME2, and I thought, like the previous games, you can flirt around and fool with the romance options ( I know, what a player..). So I was doing so with Liara, and it locked me into her relationship!! I eventually wanted to romance Tali, but I got stuck with liara. So now with this current save - I've romanced 3 different people in the trilogy. This sucks. I wish I got more a headsup; in the previous games they would confront you to choose, which is what I was expecting. Did anyone else do this? Also, is there a difference if you romanced a character in a previous game and then continued the relationship versus a completely new romance in ME3? Was just wondering if there were any noticeable dialogue differences if I had romanced Liara in ME1. |

The more I think about it, the more I believe the "indoctrination theory" is correct. The ending makes so little sense it can't be anything but intentional.
I'm not giving Bioware a pass here, though. If the indoctrination theory is correct, then Mass Effect 3 was released with no ending. If the indoctrination theory is correct, then the ending to Mass Effect 3 was intentionally left off so that EA could sell it to us later on for $10. I'm not any happier, at all. The two most likely circumstances lead to either laziness and incompetence or sickening levels of corporate greed.

After spending as much time playing these games as I have, I would rather it be intentional bullshittery by EA to get the shit by DLC (preferebly free). Because if it just ends as something horrible (if the indoct theory is wrong), then it's just a giant let down of following something for years. Not that it makes EA right either way, the game should've ended properly on release.

Unless they just ran out of time (and were really hell bent on the 3/6/2012 date). I mean they've released stuff for free before. But yeah, I do think it would be very easy to charge and make bucket-loads. Everyone will complain, everyone will buy it.

They've really got us over a barrel. This makes me concerned for future releases from EA/Bioware. It makes me not want to buy them, not get invested in the stories or become a fan of the series, because they'll use that to squeeze many dollars out of me. Perhaps I should consider giving up gaming. It's changing so much and not in a good way...

People will probably have to wait a long time for that DLC if it ever does come. First DLC's details have been leaked.

While the ending is indeed a catastrophically massive letdown, I honestly think having a DLC to change it is the wrong thing to do. If BioWare has to apologise for that ending, they should do so by making another, better game with a good ending, not by validating people's self-entitlement. Self-entitlement and the "need" for self-validation are the two absolute worst things about people on the internet.

But if they release a DLC for the SP which maybe adds characters or something I dunno if people would be up for that. I mean at this point we all know in the end it doesn't change the poor ending. IMO there's very little incentive. There's more incentive on the MP but there's only so much you can do for that one. I'm hoping that down the road people won't buy the DLC's from ME unless they do something to improve the ending (which is highly unlikely). As someone posted before, how far can you go before the dam breaks? Yes people will buy it regardless but there's always a line that shouldn't be crossed and Bioware IMO is tredding dangerously close there. Quote:
And besides, didn't Fallout 3 get a DLC that did an alternate ending? It's highly unlikely anything will happen but I would like to hear an explanation of their side. I am also aware that there's a panel coming up on April 6th and unless Bioware addresses this it's going to be a gong show. If there's one thing that really ticks people off it's the fact that they spent so much money and time in this only to have it revert back to a linear-style like game where everything you did didn't matter.

Honestly, considering how people are angry after the endings I don't see this DLC doing good. |

http://svn.gib.me/builds/masseffect3/ I'll look up the other one later. Edit: http://wenchy.net/me3-coalesced-utility/ <-- this one is easier to use. I've seen people use it for readiness levels but I haven't done it myself, since I'm already at 100% readiness from doing one day of grinding on MP. |
