he never hesitated

a real human being

GODDAMMIT BIOWARE YOU HAVE TOYED WITH MY EMOTIONS FOR THE LAST TIME

Died for me.
R.I.P. Legion.

>>132543039
Hello Legion. I missed you so much. Promise you won't go anywhere this time, just stay on the Normandy with me forever. I love you bro

Someone called?

Killed all the Quarians, Tali killed herself, and uplifted geth.

That was a good day.

Does this one have a soul?

Yes.

I know.

;_;

can someone post those pictures of bioware ripping off other peoples artwork for ME3?

>>132543203
fucking this.

why, why did they fuck up the ending? it would have been perfect.

>hurr super secrete citadel control center which no human has ever seen.
>looks suspiciously like the shadow broker ship, complete with the diagonal beams with 1M1 written on them.

>>132543525
Like this?

>>132543654
yeah thanks. any one got the one of the ending too?

>Awww yeah time to bro it up with Legion.

SORRY SHEPARD I MUST MANUALLY UPLOAD THIS PROGRAM LOL SUICIDE.

>>132543872
He doesn't really die, he just disperses among the Geth. He's out there still. Somewhere.

>>132543872
I almost cried at mordin...

Had to be me....

and then I got to the star child at the end and flicked off my monitor while yelling FUCK YOU EA!

no. fuck you. not gonna "save" the geth after fighting them for 2 and a half game.

>>132543997

The big red Geth said he ceased to exist.

That's not kawaii.

>>132543564
you never thought that was part of shepards imagination... learn the indoctrination ending theory.
It's not a coincidence that the shadow brokers ship just miraculously place in there.

>>132543771
Like This?

>I know Tali. But thank you. Keelah Se'lai

>>132544019

"Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong."

:((

>>132544019

Similar thing happened with MGS4. A good ending can almost make up for a mediocre middle, but a terrible ending will ruin what would have otherwise been a good story.

>>132544125
There is no "he". If you'd paid attention to ME2 you'd understand what the Geth actually are.

>>132543401
Wait what, where do they hug eachother? Or is that fanfic?

am i the only one that generally actually dislikes the space-gypos?
Tali is.. mildly interesting, but still mostly just annoying as fuck. Rest of them I just want to beat to chunky salsa... backstabbing, cowardly, small-minded, politicians.

>>132544154
I've read that, and it makes the ending slightly more tolerable. buts its no excuse for telling me for 5+ years that I could direct the story choose how things ended, and then saying NOPE fuck off during the last 15 minutes of the game.

>>132544246
He was supposed to study sea shells dammit! :(

>Expecting me to feel sorry for the Quarians.

They started it, and the second that you erased the reapers control on the Geth the purple faggots decided to try and use the opportunity to finally crush them.

Legion was a bigger bro than any of those space gypsies.

>>132544352

Which makes Shepard's attachment to that one platform illogical.

>>132544352
>I didn't listen to the entire final conversation with Legion in ME3.

Thane died like a bitch

>>132544352
yes there is, once the code was uploaded, all geth became individual AI's with free will

>>132544379
sure it's morrally wrong because they've set it up for DLC but it's a brilliant ending.

1. the only human to beat indoctrination the reapers main weapon

etc etc it sets it up for a brillaint finale one that should of been in game anyways but still great stuff

>>132544538
For barely being able to breathe when you first meet him in the hospital, I think he did alright. At the very least, he saved the Salarian. That guy dies if you don't have Thane around.

>>132544538
>Have debilitating space asthma
>Still manage to fight off a mary sue ninja
>Die only because my body refuses to make any more blood due to the aforementioned space asthma
>Someone on an internet forum calls me a bitch

>>132544458
>>132544371
I always thought they were space jews. Their attitudes toward reclaiming the homeworld seem to have some pretty strong parallels with Israeli policy.

>>132544538

Fuck you Thane was awesome and the prayer thing during his death scene ruled.

>>132544458
If I had been forced to choose between the Quarians and Geth, I would have chosen the Geth.

>>132544371
Protip: You're an anti-Semite.

>>132544458
i have to agree

their greater population would rather talk to another biological species to calm the race that created them

its like a child saying im sorry mommy and daddy for messing up the house and not being what you wanted me to be by using a trusted family friend

to be frank i would of been touched but unnerved to hear the early robot say does this unit have a soul.

>>132544657
more like he made a ninja wana be sweat and only won cause his opponent was already halfway in his grave.
also how does thanes romance work?

>>132544594
Legion is not, nor any single platform, "a" Geth.

>>132544753

Good thing NOBODY ELSE DIES TODAY was there. Fucking paragon options were way better in this game than the previous ones. Badass standing up for what's right instead of bending over backwards and getting fucked.

>>132544538

>>132544371

actually I pretty much only actually like wrex, mordin, legion and krogan in general. Garus is "ok" I guess, but the rest i either dont care about or actively dislike.

>>132544916
They become individuals during ME3 if you aren't a retard.

>>132544605
I do like the indoctrination ending, it should have been included. However, they also should have included the option for the super fluffy bunny 100% completion ultra paragon shepard saves everyone and has little blue/purple babies ending as well. Thats what I believed would be an option, thats why I spent the last 3 week replaying ME 1 and ME 2.

>>132544657
>That guy dies if you don't have Thane around.

No, it's Kirahee who dies instead.

>>132544028

You fought humans for two games you dense cunt.

>>132544985
"Becoming individuals" would actually mean the deaths of billions.

I reunited the Quarians and Geth.

Legion still died ;_;

>>132544657
Salarians are assholes. Faced with extinction you find out who your true allies are. And that turned out the be the Geth, Krogans and Turians.

The Asari, Salarians, and Qurians all turned their backs on us to deal with their petty squabbles. I wish I could purge the galaxy of them all like I did to the Baratrians.

Except my blueberry waifu of course

>>132545108
Legion dies no matter what. shit is retarded.

>>132544975

>Garrus
>Only "ok"

Garrus is the best bro you could have. I actually felt guilt about getting him and my blue waifu killed during the last attack. Them reapers burnt good though.

>>132545018
Kirahee was dead in my playthrough. Great to see all these choice really did change a good amount, only to be shit on by the ending.

I actually really liked reuniting them and having the two races work together. Seemed really fitting.

>>132545189
How does Garrus die? Haven't seen any scene which you can see him dying.

>>132545189

I want to believe Garrus survived. My party in that final run were Garrus and EDI, and EDI is at the end of the "Green" ending.

>>132544458
Fuck the quarians. Tali and most of the civilians said they didn't want to fight at all, but instead of actually saying NO, WE AREN'T GOING TO RISK THE DEATH OF OUR SPECIES JUST TO HAVE A SHOT AT WINNING BACK THE HOMEWORLD, they just shrug and go along with it. They don't NEED to follow the admiralty's orders, since they each have their own ships, but they do it anyway. If I didn't need their assets, I would've let those idiots get themselves killed. Tali's not my waifu, and she wasn't even acting like the Tali I had grown to think of as one of my top three bros, right behind Wrex and Garrus. The Tali I knew would be heartbroken that her fleet was destroyed, but she would suck it up and be completely ready to fight the Reapers, because there's nothing left for her but a hero's death.

>/v/
>they're all crying about their favourite characters and their forced, poorly written deaths
Ha, you guys deserve the shitty game you got. Emotionally manipulative, melodramatic bullshit writing by a talentless fangirl and you go ahead and validate it.

>>132545087
We don't actually know that, I thought each Geth became individual, and they just needed to build a shitload of bodies, or groups of them combined into one personality.

>>132545269
Whoever you take with you on the final mission dies to the Reaper laser.

>>132545269
Not officially, but it's assumed that both party members you pick during the London mission get killed by Harbinger's lazerbeem.

Which doesn't make sense because 1 of the guys I chose was seen in the end stepping out of the wrecked Normandy :\

>>132543039

>>132545189
In my cutscene with the ship I saw that Liara and Garrus made it out on the planet they are stranded on, it made the entire that was the ending slightly bearable knowing that somewhere out there my best bro Garrus was alive and keeping my memory alive.

>>132545378
>groups of them combined into one personality.

How is that not equivalent to ever member of that group dying?

>>132544352
Legion gained self-awareness, judging from the voice and body type, "he" is probably the best identifier.

Saved both the Quarian and Geth, since there's really no reason why you should have enough Reputation, unless you skip every optional event. Geth are pretty much just trying to survive when the Reapers aren't fucking with them, but the Quarians aren't all bad. They have some warmongering fucks that desperately want their home back, but the civilian fleet admiral, Tali, and what seems to be the civ fleet itself are all pretty cool.

Of course, until Bioware gets off of their useless asses and delivers a decent ending, it's a moot point anyway, everything you have done in the past three games is invalidated.

>>132544729
so what happens if thane dies in the suicide mission?

>>132545386
I guess I'll take EDI and BULK SLAMCHEST. EDI can just cease operating the mech and PUNCH IRONSIDE can just die I don't really give a shit.

>>132545363
Hamburger Helper doesn't work on Mass Effect.

How do the legions reproduce if they can't have sex with the quarians?

>>132545386

No they don't. I had Garrus and Javik and Javik got out of the crashed ship in the end.

>>132545189
notice I did make him one of the 4 characters I actually give a damn about. ... mordin, garus, wrex, legion. Hes just not quite as interesting as the other 3.

Then there are the krogan. They are almost exclusively cool, and I wish I could have a "krogan rebellion 2.0" ending. That would teach those backstabbing ass-ari, gypos, and salad-arians a thing or two about payback.

>>132545492
Kai Leng kills the Salarian Councilor

>>132545110
Why is she so blueberry? I still wish she stayed the same as she was in ME 1.

>>132545269

Oh, no, he was in my squad when I went to the last mission in London.

This was right after the "Shepard and Vakarian raiding heaven" goodbye. I was thinking about them the whole time I was doing the ending sequence. I wish there had been a decent ending. The build up was fucking perfect, I've never been emotionally rocked by a game like that before.

>>132544729
>mary sue ninja

Thank God I'm not the only one who thought he came off Mary Sue-like.

>dat renegade interup to that faggot quarian captain and that look shepard does after it

meh, in general quarians are a mixed bunch

salarians and asari are the biggest assholes through

>That scene with Wrex after you betray him on the Citadel

"I KNOW what you DID, Shepard!"

You just couldn't accept that the galaxy couldn't handle the way the Salarians created you to be unstoppable, could you? You just had to make me take you down...

Why do the Geth pilot ships with their hands?

Why do the Reapers even have controls at all?

Holy shit! An actual discussion about ME3 without "DEM GRAPHIX" and "Hamburger Helper"

That feel when you shoot Mordin in the back and later kill Wrex at the citadel.

>>132545623

No, don't worry, you're not the only one who doesn't know what the fuck that means.

>>132545483
Well if they didnt have personalities before then it wouldnt really matter if they died right? And if they are fused together to form a being with independent thought then perhaps they will on some level be aware of it and appreciate it?
Or maybe not, how could we know, they dont really tell us or anything.

>>132545423
that entire normandy scene at the end is complete bullshit and shouldnt have been included at all. I talked to every single one of those squad mates (joker not included) before launching the final assault. And then they just decided to not only board the Normandy during the final battle, but joker also decided he wanted to fly through a few relays for the hell of it? NO FUCK YOU BIOWARE, FUCK YOU.

>>132545701

>>Not curing the genophage

>>132545623
To me, it just seemed like the one of the devs had just wached a Naruto marathon the night before coming to work and decided to come up with Leng and the bullshit ninja enemies. They fucking move like you'd expect Naruto ninjas to move like.

>>132545568
We don't know if it's a glitch or intentional. Some people claim they saw their squads bodies after the beam hit, but I did not, and one of them came out of the crashed Normandy. I figured they just got fucked up like Shepard and Anderson, but were able to be patched up since they were still on the ground. I don't know how Garrus went from the beam to in space in the Normandy so fast though, unless Shepard was unconscious for a while. Probably a fuck up judging from the amount of effort put into the "endings".

>>132545648
why are there medigel stations on the geth dreadnaught?

>>132545648
>Geth
Bioware oversight, probably
>Reapers
I think it's to masquerade as a ship and indoctrinate people before the main invasion.

>>132545701
>shooting Mordin
CHOKE ON A DICK

>>132545701

>>132545647
here

Full Paragon, but curing the genophage is indescribably stupid. If not for their ability to repopulate, I'd have no problem saving them, but they can fill worlds in years, and live for thousands.

There was no point in having the Reaper upgrades plot device in ME3. The Geth where already becoming self-aware, or at least learning to act more like organics in ME2 (shown by legion's personal attachments to the N7 armor and playing space vidya games). And the Geth on the homeworld where friendly anyway, Legion even told them they are maintaining the homeworld for when the creators return. Infact the Geth never did a single thing wrong. They only fought to make sure they didn't go extinct, or in self-defence. The Geth Shepard fights are a small portion of Geth that where hacked by the Reapers to kill all organics.

tl;dr : Geth rule organics drool

>>132544916
Yet in his final moments, he refers to himself as "I" instead of "we".

>>132545386
>>132545423
Seems to be affected by EMS. I was sitting at around 7k, brought Tali and Javik with me, I did not find their bodies anywhere after the laser blast, and believe me, I looked hard.

Apparently Tali found that time to board the Normandy, possibly while I was talking to Space God Kid, and Joker made sure to abandon my ass for inexplicable reasons.

If there isn't "True End" DLC already finished and ready to go live after this clusterfuck of an ending, Bioware is hopeless, not even worth the hard drive memory to pirate.

>>132545363
>>132545537
LOL!
-Fun fact: Her husband (also worker at biosuck) worked on me3. Coincidence?
Read the credits, my friends.

>>132545719
He had super powers and was relatively flawless. He beats you at the most ridiculous nonsense that could have been prevented were it any other antagonist. Instead Shepard just purposely looks like a fool - another trait of a Mary Sue: author favoring of the character.

That said, Shepard is also very much a Mary Sue as well.

>>132545605
because shadow borker stress increased her blueberryness

>>132545648
because...wait...


huh.

>>132545845
Either that or they just got done playing mgs4.

Fucking Bioware, I actually enjoy this game, but they killed all my favourite fucking characters. Fucking Mordin dies curing the genophage, fucking Thane dies being a badass nigger, and fucking Legion dies bringing his people to a higher state of being. FUCK YOU BIOWARE 10/10 I MAD

Thank fuck Grunt and Wrex didn't die, because then I would have broke the disc. WHY NOT FUCKING SHITTY NIGGER JACOB OR JAMES MCLARGEBARREL OR SHITTY ASS SPACE ARAB TALI?

>Salarians uplift Krogan
>make them bigger killing machines
>Krogan revolt

>in the STG lab getting the female
>Yahg station logs
>Salarians want to uplift Yahgs to replace Krogan

ME4: Helping Krogans fight off a Yahg rebellion and toppling the Salarian gov't. All of my bandwidth.

>>132545934
you know, that reminds me

in mass effect 1 they mention how geth are blurring the differences between synthetics and organics, with that spiderman-geths ones being very organic in apparience

that went to nowhere for some reason

Why did he have to die, /v/?

>>132545783
>Or maybe not, how could we know, they dont really tell us or anything.

This is exactly why none of the events in ME3 are worth debating. There's too much vague magic talk. Having the Geth say "We're individuals now" without explaining how that is any different from what they were makes zero sense.

What about all the Geth who weren't in platforms? They give the impression that they spend most of their times living in the drives of sprawling databases. Did each server farm become one giant super-individual? That's a lot of personality.

For the ones still questioning indoctrination;

www.thefreedictionary.com/crucible

>A severe test, as of patience or belief; a trial. See Synonyms at trial.

This was all a test of Shepard's resolve. There will be an ME4 where Harbinger himself is the final boss, and we will learn more about The Reapers. With EA behind Bioware, you've got to be fucking stupid to believe this is the final game in this story. They have all the foundations for large scale reaper battles, and you finale have the army you need to take them on through gameplay.

Also, this indoctrination episode is near mimicking what the Borg did with Picard, they took over him, made him their avatar. Harbinger has been after Shepard since Redemption, that's why the Collector ship stormed the Normandy.
You should be able to see how compelling this argument is.

Also, on the topic of WHEN he was indoc'd, he's come into contact with Sovereign, a derelict, yet still working Reaper, and a reaper beacon from Arrival. Also, his ship is made out of metal salvaged from Sovereign.

The people who have read all of the books and comics came to the indoctrination theory straight away, many of us did without checking the internet. It's the people who only play the games that simply aren't getting it.

>>132545878

I think you see the squad bodies if your readiness isn't high enough.

Personally I'm holding out for ending DLC. I didn't buy the game (thank god) but I might when it bundles up, like I said I've never been moved by a game like I was by ME3 then they threw it all away on the ending.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=booBmcFw_Lk

They should have kept the dialog and fucking forgot about the rest of the end, just watch the Reapers burn together.

>>132543564
>it would have been perfect.
You and I have vastly differing opinions on what constitutes perfection in a game. Or even in just a story.

>>132546024
>Thank fuck Grunt and Wrex didn't die, because then I would have broke the disc. WHY NOT FUCKING SHITTY NIGGER JACOB OR JAMES MCLARGEBARREL OR SHITTY ASS SPACE ARAB TALI?
>space gypsy is alive in his playthrough

>he didnt let tali fall off the cliff because so deep and edgy
what have you done?!

>>132545841

Two bro Krogan does not make up for a whole race of dicks.

>>132545928

Had to. He couldn't see the big picture. Guilt had over taken over him and clouded his judgement.

>>132546024
I thought Grunt was going to die, but then he proved that Krogan is indeed master race. Those rachni cannon things consistently fucked me up throughout the game, but does Grunt give a shit? NO, HE'S JUST GOING TO CHARGE THEIR ASSES AND BEAT THEM TO DEATH WITH THEIR OWN LEGS, FUCK YEAH BROGANS ARE NUMBER ONE

>>132545949
He's never said he doesn't like playing video games or bragged about having a vagina, just has poor taste in women.

>>132546062
That... makes a lot of sense...

I should go and read up a bit more.

>>132546062
Well they probably should've put it in the games then. Because if indeed this is the case then everyone with a working brain and some time to read through things should be able to piece it together, atleast that's how it should be.

>>132546163
>a whole race of dicks.

and you sided with the salarians?
did you ever see what they want to do?
they are like cerberus but with citadel council money

>>132545942
Indoctrinated/Destroy theory is what I'm going with. I highly doubt they'll do a new ending unless it was planned, and the old man with kid thing doesn't leave that impression. Plus, that would be them admitting they fucked up.

Only DLC I see coming for sure is "Take Back Omega".

>>132546176
fuck yeah when I saw that cut scene I was like no no no, and then FUCK YAW Grunt tears up those bugroboniggers

any of you wonder at the "stops healing" power on anything frost related in this game? Nevermind that it used to be fire in me2, but.. have you actually seen a single enemy that can heal/regen?

on-topic : krogans are totally bro, they have every reason to be xenophobic and paranoid.

>>132545537
her ideas leaked into mass effect you must be a tool to think that hasent happened we have fucking storymode on the fucking game

>>132544729
>implying Thane wasn't a Mary Sue too.
The only reason Thane existed in the first place is to be female fap bait.

>>132546327
Cannibals do it naturally, and Marauders do it when they try to absorb a corpse.

>>132546327

Krogan and Vorcha regen.

>>132546270
Who in the galaxy besides that Aria slut would want that shithole back? Infact why did Cerberus want it in the firstplace? That station is a hunk of junk.

>>132546179
Just saying, she could influence him.

>>132546378

You don't fight either of those in ME3.

>>132546062
I would endorse the theory if it was any company other than Bioware. I have absolutely zero faith in them.

And that Prothean VI immediately states when indoctrinated beings are closing in on it, and yet it never mentions Shepard is one of the ones? Or perhaps he was indoctrinated so little at the time that it couldn't detect it? The problem with theorycrafting is, because the writing is so fucking awful, nothing links together in a cohesive manner.

Mordin died because it was dramatic, is the prime example. There are plenty of ways to activate that tower without death, but that wouldn't have the same emotional effect.

>>132546176
i was about to restart my save before the choice then he comes out all bloody. my only reaction was to scream "fuck yeah". grunt is a badass

>>132546349
her husband worked on it. of course it fricken leaked

>>132546378
have you seen any krogan or vorcha as enemies?

>>132546374
ah right, i forgot those

>>132546378
>that feel when there are only three enemy factions in the entire game, one who disappears after an hour, and another who has no reason to be fighting you whatsoever

Why is Soldier such fucking easy mode. Wanted to save Vanguard for renegade playthrough and this soldier bullshit is getting on my nerves.
Pop pop pop watching mothafuckas drop.

>>132546214
No, you don't, not really. It's quite obvious. If you blow it up (resist indoctrination), you get an extra clip of Shepard gasping for air in London rubble (you even see a building), unless the space magic teleported him back there while it was busy blowing itself up, the only possible outcome is hallucination.

The real question is, when did the hallucination begin? Most say after the beam hit you, and that makes a lot of sense, but the game resets to just before you hit the Cerberus Base, it would have been far more convenient and made more sense to make the "point of no return" be after the base (entering Sol sector), but they intentionally put it THERE.

What if everything after entering the base is all some VR simulation Shepard's trapped in? Maybe Mary Sue Ninja beat him and they're testing him or something.

>>132546062
I kind of thought indoctrination when you see all the black shit on the edge of your screen around the TIM part, but it just seems like it'd be too... well thought out for Bioware. And then the Normandy and old man thing don't help drive the theory.

>>132546251
I admit that they should have tried to explain the processes of indoctrination better so that more would get it. TiM went through slightly similar processes when he came into contact with The Reaper relic during the events of Evolution, and I'm sure slow indoctrination is different for everybody, tailored to their mind. In this case, it uses Shepard's guilt toward the dying child and drives it into the players head that the only way you can save everyone is by merging with synthetics (The Reapers plan), or Controlling them (again, you still merge).

It doesn't matter anyway, as the whole crucible was Shepard's final indoc hurdle, whether you stay steadfast in your resolve and still destroy the Reapers decides whether you break the indoc and live to see another day, or not.

>>132546459
cerberus, reapers and....?

not like ME1 and 2 were better at that through

>look up what happens if you side with the quarians
>Tali suddenly tries to be sympathetic towards legion while he's dying, even after all the shit she says during ME1 and 2 about how much she fucking despises geth.

Was Bioware trying to make me hate the Quarians over the course of this series? because if so, good job.

>>132544848

Quarian = Great Britain

Geth = USA

The child surpassed the father and the father got all buttpained

>>132546510
Geth derp

>>132546510
Geth.

>>132546410

I think the general theory is that you got full on indoctrination when you got lasered. Too much reaper tech around for too long so you wouldn't have been all messed up during the Fall of Thessia.

Additionally it's confirmed TIM is indoctrinated, if he's controlling Shepard and Anderson who is controlling him?

>>132546035
>that went to nowhere for some reason
>for some reason
It's because they switched writers and were more focused on sucking corporate cock than making a quality game post-ME1.

Thane's death was the only scene in the game to cause me sadness besides Mordin and Legion.

>>132546383
The leaked script had Aria getting paid by Cerberus to give them eezo and access to the Omega 4 Relay, so they could investigate the collector base/ruins of the collector base. It's the explanation for why Cerberus has the reaper babby, but they cut it to release as DLC while leaving the reaper babby skeleton. Eventually, Cerberus had enough indoctrinated soldiers to completely storm Omega, capturing it so they could strip all of the eezo from the rock it's built around. Shepard would help Aria get it back, and as payment, get extra assets, rather than just the mercs.

>>132545110
Do you mean the Barathornians?

>>132546546
>>132546547
oh, yeah i forgot about them, you only fight them with the quarian missions through

>>132546383
Omega is a pretty big deal in the extended canon, it's basically the capital of non-Citadel space. Pretty high population too.

>>132546482
The entire game is easy. You can play Engineer and never have to shoot at anything at all for the first 3/4 of the game. Turret+Drone+Incinerate is literally all you need.

>>132546482
I played soldier on insane and had to turn it down to hardcore.

adept is easier on insane, than soldier on hardcore. Probably even normal, but thats guessing as I havnt tried normal.

take energy drain as extra power... energy-drain/warp/push/pull. Only time I use my pistol is for shield pylons and opening boxes on elevators....

its silly because push-pull combo kills regardless of hp, and energy drain takes the entire shield bar on anything but a mech or shadow on insane.

Anyone else impressed by Martin Sheen's voice acting towards the end? Shit was pretty intense.

>>132546410
Shepard could have been indoctrinated at the very end, buy the ghost kid or the area it takes place. Though a lot of people think the kid at the beginning was part of indoctrination too.

You use medi gel on Legion in ME2 and he decided it was the bee's knees, and took some home with him

In other news, did anybody feel like the ending and Kai Lang boss fight felt like the devs had played too much Deus Ex Human Revolution. Multiple choice but nobody wins endings, and a duel that negates however you spec

>>132546802

>Surprised a veteran professional actor has good work

>>132546802
I think The Illusive Man stands out as one of the better characters overall in most of the fiction he appears in.

>mfw Thane's death

He was a true brother

I'm gonna kick Tai Leng's little Asian ass when I meet him again.

So here I am having just destroyed the Reapers and I'm dying on the planet barely breathing.

And Joker takes this opportunity to steal my goddamn ship.

>>132546024
>he thinks Wrex didn't die

Might want to watch the ending again kiddo, he tries to ambush a Reaper with an assault rifle and gets his ass zapped.

This pretty much destroys any hope the krogan have in a post-genophage galaxy. Without Wrex's leadership they'll just turn into the menaces they were. The Salarians were, in a way, right.

>>132546537
She's like that the whole time in ME3, saying she'd been in contact with him since ME2 and grew to understand him. It's not all of sudden in the last 2 minutes.

>>132546925
>Killing him on omega
>"That was for Thane, you son of a bitch!"

Only time I used a renegade interrupt on my paragon play through. Felt fucking good.

>filename

>>132546410
Honestly, I think they've only put out one bad thing recently, and that's DAII. That isn't the same team though, and we should cut the Mass Effect team a little slack and see where it goes before we jump down there throats. It may not be the best written series ever, but it's still fun and damn entertaining.

I just think we should see what they announce next. If it's ending DLC, be pissed, by all means, but I'm hoping it's an ending expansion akin to DA: Awakening. I fucking loved that, and it had a further 20 hours of content for nearly have the price.

>>132546992
>implying Wreav isn't ten times the Krogan Wrex ever was

>>132546992
Correction, the Reaper fires at Wrex he jumps out of the screen and we are not sure if he was hit.

Anderson also said the entirety of operation hammer was wiped out yet the team you brought with you walks out of the Normandy. Why are they even on the Normandy I don't even.

>>132547070
Fuck, I'm doing that shit.

>>132546489
Actually the ship does. I picked destroy, had Kaidan and Javik on my squad. Hackett's radio says "nobody made it out", then they both walk off the Normandy completely unscathed. When they were right next to me. And I was in full body armor. And it shredded my armor to bits and left me a bloody mess. Not to mention that explodey thing would have totally rocked the Normady's (AI controlled and Reaper hull armored) systems into non-functionality and obliterated it, regardless of Joker's attempts to save it.

>>132546992
This can change if you aren't retarded. That scene for me was a few no name mercs lead by a random Asari.

>>132547164
I saved Miranda.
Her ass was too good.

>>132547141
>Javik

I don't understand. Why would it be the prothean? I mean, were you a complete dick to everyone else so that he was the highest choice for the game? Or is it solely based on the squad you take?

>>132547070
Renegade punching that asshole Quarian admiral is good too. I did the one to shoot Udina to make sure he didn't kill the Asari.

So why does EDI get out of the Normandy (in some cases) at the end of the game? If the Normandy is her brain and is no longer functional, wouldn't her body not work too?

She's just going to starve like Garrus and Tali anyway, unless they find some kind power source in the middle of the jungle

>miranda's ass good

I fucking lol every time I see it. It's like two floppy water baloons in her pants

http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Gianna_Parasini

This game was fucked as soon as they pulled the "LOL found a superweapon, let's build it" shit.
They should have been forced to come up with it on their own using dark energy like Mass Effect 2 hinted at.
Imagine,
>Luring the reapers into a trap in the Far Rim
>You've managed to pump dark energy into the star, Dholen
>It's about to hypernova
>Reapers pop in to rustle jimmies
>Everyone hops into the mass relay and escapes just as the star explodes and obliterates all those reapers. Leaving only a few for the collective galaxy to defeat.

>>132547334
Speaking of Javik, He gives you that memory shard towards the end. What are the implications of this? I wanted to live through those memories goddamnit.

>>132547459

I CAN'T GET DISTRACTED

>>132546062
As much as I want this to be true I don't believe in it. It's all too convincing as an actual badly written ending. This is deception on a meta level that I don't think Bioware is competent enough for.

However I do hope Bioware grabs this escape because I want a decent ending to it all.

>>132547334
Nope, everyone loved me. Saved the geth and quarians, full Paragon, told Garrus if I'm up in the bar I'll be watching him and everything. I was expecting it to be Garrus and someone else, 'cause of how heavy (and good) that final dialogue was, but oh well. Maybe it overrides it if you have the DLC because it's DLC and thus obviously far more important.

Also I only took Javik because he was going to kill himself anyways after the war, so I figured it wouldn't matter if there was no return, and I stuck it in Kaidan's pooper so I was sorta obligated to take him with.

>>132547334
With the indoctrination theory, it may be implied that the people who step out are the ones who were next to you, eing hit by the Harbinger beam. This is why Anderson tells you to pick your team carefully, as whoever you take with you may dictate who steps out of the sip, thus who may die if you don't fight the indoctrination.

They did it at the end of two, where your whole team could die. Why not now when the stakes are higher?

>>132547459
Imagine them lubed up with sweat from fighting and sliding your dick in between them

You will never play ME2 as originally intended, broing it up with Legion all game erry game.

>>132547585

>There will never be a true Mass Effect game save for ME1
Damn you for reminding me.

>>132547070
Huh.

Thane was dead in my playthrough. I killed him for Miranda instead.

>>132546482
Anything but Sentinel is easy mode really. The new power system lets you spam abilities nearly constantly. Vanguard with Charge/Nova can solo maps. Infilraper with shotguns is one of most fun things I've ever done.
>Ghost reporting

>>132547616
I took EDI and Javik and it was blueberry and Javik that stepped out, after Destroy. Clearly it's not that they died, since EDI totally fried if I picked Destroy, also why would Joker have died? He wasn't even around.

>>132547852

wait, what?

>>132547892
I wonder if you can't save Miranda if you have no Thane? She didn't die in my game.

>>132547708
No, I believe the Reapers aren't meant to save people, they kill them for their own gain. They were once a race who couldn't take that they were mortal, so they uploaded their personalities into ships, and emerged every 50,000 years to harvest the most advanced civilisations, in a greedy pursuit of knowledge, making themselves Gods.

They are nothing but knowledge hungry AI who will stop at nothing to be all knowing, becoming all knowing Gods. It's a heavily used Sci-Fi trope.

>>132547895
>infiltrator with shotguns

interedasting. How does it work for armor pieces and which weapon do you use? I just stacked damage/headshot damage on my bread and butter Black Widow Infiltrator.

>>132547309
>Turians
>fuck your planet, you need to help us first
Um, so their home world is more important to them than yours? That really surprises you? WTF

This fiasco is looking more and more like the KOTOR 2 ending.
< Hope someone makes this into a mod in five years when nobody cares anymore to top off the analogy between the two.

>>132547972
What the fuck do you mean what? ME2 and 3 were just Dating Sims in space wheras ME1 was a goddamn Space Opera RPG.

Not to mention the Space Opera genre as a whole is fucked for the next few years until this Mass Effect cockshittery sorts itself out and is forgotten.

>>132544357
yeah thats just fanart

>>132547651
For that matter, you'll never play ME3 as intended: trying to find the Catalyst (Javik) as opposed to a constantly inflamed kid.

>>132547895
>Infilraper

I've played Infiltrator since ME, and this is the most overpowered I've ever felt. The only enemies in the entire game I couldn't kill with one sniper rifle shot were Banshees, Atlas mechs, and Brutes. Everything else took one well-placed M-92 Mantis bullet to the brainpan to go down.

>>132547895
Playing Insanity I felt that Nova is too dangerous so I switched Dark Channel to my mapped power instead, otherwise I'm getting though the game pretty easy. Harvesters are kind of bitch when they catch you off guard, but I can annihilate Brutes and most normal enemies instantly. Not looking forward to Banshees, and Atluses are kind of hard.

>>132548158

Ah. "A true Mass Effect game, save for ME1." Not a "game save" as in, the file where your game is saved.

Punctuation is interesting.

>>132548128
They're the galaxies anti-heroes, who think they're doing everybody a favour by ascending them to an immortal plain as a collective consciousness, when in actual fact they're just information hungry.

>>132548409
I could've put a comma there but it flows just fine without one. However, I could've chosen my wording more carefully.

>>132548158
>ME2 and 3 were just Dating Sims

dating sims involved...you know, dating

mass effect doesnt have that, you say "hello" and they are already hitting on you trying to bring you to they bed
