It's cool to see Shepard start to show strain under the pressure of saving the galaxy. It makes them human and not a machine But the dream sequence, chasing some kid in a forest, was a ham-fisted way of doing that

Or maybe Shepard can handle it, they say they're fine and they mean it since they (somehow) still have hope things will turn out well in the end, or they're good at showing a brave face; make it a choice how Shepard deals with the War

Yeah, I like to do Omega right after the Coup attempt It's sort of like Shepard's counterattack on Cerberus, attacking one of their major strongholds right after they wasted their resources attacking ours

SubponticatePoster posted:You could make an argument that the writing of the Quarians is fairly realistic - they could coexist peacefully with the Geth if they'd stop trying to take Rannoch back by force but the people in charge are blind to every option except violence. They violated laws to create the Geth and now pretty much the whole galaxy hates them, so eradicating the source of their shame might bring them back into the fold, at least on a political level. Private attitudes probably wouldn't change much as species like the Asari and Krogan have long memories and there are plenty alive that were around back when the original fuckup happened. I don't know if this is intentional or if I'm putting my own spin on things and it's just a coincidence. Also, if you follow Ashely's 'every race for themselves' view then the there's the chance the Geth are going to side with the Reapers, being synthetic themselves and because they've done so already (that was the Heretics, but still) So from that point, they're taking back their homeworld, wiping out their old shame, and also wiping out a potential army for the Reapers. Also, I'm the rear end in a top hat who tells the Quarians to keep fighting after the Dreadnought is disabled, since the Geth at that point are a lost cause when they gave themselves to the Reapers, and didn't punch Gerrel because I agree with him that Dreadnought had to go, though he could have given me like 5 minutes to get off the ship before he started blasting.

Also, Garrel's little war story about him and Tali's father going in guns blazing against some pirates that got them medals slapped on their chest and kicked off to an early pilgrimage does explain both Tali's father willingness to commit war crimes to get an advantage over the Geth and Gerrel going in for the kill on the Dreadnaught, even if Shepard and Tali are still on the ship.

There's that dude elsewhere on the internet who wrote something like 50 angry pages about how ME3 (and 2!) sucked balls. Just because ME3 jumps the shark in places doesn't mean we can't have a fun/healthy discussion about it.

Everyone is bringing up good points about the Quarian's constant gently caress-ups, but I still like them and want them to have their homeworld again Or at least let Tali build her house there

I'm pretty sure the Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod automatically starts the Citadel dlc after the ending so it's a 'real' epilogue Or there's a mod that will start the dlc after the ending

Durandal1707 posted:I dislike Synthesis a lot too. It tries being a pat "feel good" ending where the only sacrifice is Shepard (well, whomever died getting to the Citadel but w/e) but it doesn't really work on that level. The implication behind it is pretty jacked up. Synthesis is like the "third" choice in every Bioware game, that has little to no consequences and conveniently solves everyone's problem, but to me it's somehow overdone in being the perfect third choice that I just roll my eyes at "Shepard fulfilled their role as Space Jesus by dying for everyone's sins and bringing peace and understanding to the entire Galaxy and the Reapers are redeemed too and sharing their collective knowledge to everyone."

Pattonesque posted:just an aside: I found out the most recent Mass Effect novel (about the quarian ark in Andromeda) was released about a week ago and went to the Mass Effect wiki to read up on it ... and it's just got the plot summary from the back of the novel Wait, they actually released the book? I’m tentatively curious what was up with the Quarian arc, since I like the Quarians, Hanar and Elcor, and they are all on that ship.

Nah, don't like Control or Synthesis, never will I want Shepard to live as himself and not as a Machine God, build that home with Tali, and want to see the Reapers fall over dead Shpeard was "destroyed" and eventually brought back exactly as he was, no reason to think Edi and the Geth can't be brought back as well SgtSteel91 fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Nov 22, 2018 |

Honestly, I'm not holding my breath that even DA4 comes out, with how Anthem is looking, both the game itself and what other games are being released around it, Bioware might go the way of Visceral Games

One more thing: Shepard was brain dead, essentially ‘destroyed’ in every sense of the word and they were brought back exactly as they were. I see no reason Edi and the Geth can’t be brought back the same way Might take a bit more than two years, but that’s how I justify the Red ending because I really don’t like the Blue or Green ending, and the Red ending comes closest to my preferred end state (Shepard alive as himself and not an ascendant machine god, Reapers destroyed)
