itsjustdrew posted:I'm currently playing through ME3, I've done all the DLC and when I go to talk to my most liked crew: Tali, Liara, so on, so on, all I get is the basic 'Hey shepard' 'Maybe another time.' Have I glitched it somehow or is it just 'cause I'm not doing the main quest so I'm running out of conversation options? You're out of dialogue. This happens in every RPG with those kinds of conversations, including all the previous ME games. It's not like every character has a procedurally generated conversation database. What exactly were you expecting?

Like, we aren't going to publicly admit we completely screwed the pooch but here is something new. I think Citadel is most powerful on the first time after digesting the ending for a while. Most people played it months after finishing the game and it works as a proper send off. Playing it immediately afterwards is a bit disconcerting and playing it in the middle is just

If you do Citadel right before heading back to Earth, you can just right off the whole ending as a space booze induced nightmare.

He lets oriana go 'Ok, but I want out of this alive, deal?' Miranda stands up , forces him through a window and I assume he's now dead. Heartwarming dialogue between sisters and then miranda and shep. She dies in my arms

Speaking of Miranda, it was only about four months ago that I saw the first two seasons of Chuck (thus ending all of the Chuck I would ever watch) and finally put a face/name to the voice actress of Miranda. She is hot as gently caress and a decent enough actress - I haven't really seen more to judge, but she was fun in Chuck. She's hotter than Jaime Pressly was.

You are smart to have ended after season 2. Season 3 is actually fairly decent, but it never reaches the highs of season 2 again. Then it turns to trash.

Yeah, I did my homework before starting the show. And even if I hadn't, the ending of season 2 made me never want to watch more of it again. I'm sure it wouldn't be horrible, but there would be better ways to spend my time...like complaining about Bioware in the Dragon Age thread. That's good fun.

She's also in Dexter, but only the unsalvagable last seasons. I can see and understand that they tried to model Miranda after her, even if it fell way short. Man, that was a show that ended on the same note as the Mass Effect series.

I think Dexter ended better than Mass Effect. With Dexter you can spoil the ending to people. They won't believe you. Then they see it and still don't believe it. But it actually makes a bit of sense. It's terrible, of course. But it's also the worst ending ever. So that's an achievement. ME3 on the other hand is just bad with no redeeming qualities. It's not even funny.

Well Season 3 deals with a lot of Chuck getting trained. They weren't certain how many eps they could make so it has a sort of stagger in the middle that is almost an end. It ends well, though. And then his little buddy gets the thing in his brain and becomes a spy and it's just stupid as hell.

Geostomp posted:I can only guess all the "dreamlike" portions of the ending were added as a sort of "get out of writer's block free" card that they never capitalized on because of all the public outcry about the ending making it too public to do without looking like fools. They said that there was originally a part of the ending that involved Shepard directly resisting Indoctrination, hence all those moments and imagery, but it was cut because they couldn't get it to work.

What does "couldn't get it to work" mean? As a gameplay mechanic? Did it have to be gameplay mechanic? If it worked better storywise, couldn't it have been part of the cutscene? Everything else but the staggering was a cutscene. The staggering was thrilling gameplay, though.
