All the Ewoks will look up and shout, "Save us from the Klingons!" And I'll whisper, "Why so serious?"

Well I guess that means we can, we just need to be civil and not all the, well...stuff that happens back there...

Give me cute or give me...something?

I have a feeling that Liara ends up with Javik. Completely ignoring the fact Liara has been fascinated by Protheans all her life (even being initially attracted to Shep because he was TOUCHED by them), he's the last of his species, and Asari finally get some new DNA to share (Prothean).

Plus, Liara gives Javik a little calm and softness, while Javik allows Liara to grow up.

Jonah Falcon

Javik doesn't seem like the kind of character that would get together with anyone.

Especially not primitives.

Can't talk about the ending? Watch me. Eventually. I do have to say I prefered Angry Joe's indoctrination vid to the "official" one. Anyone have a link to the google doc he mentioned about indoctrination?

And Liara was pretty disillusioned that her race of enlightened scholars turned out to be an oppressive empire.

Here's the Indoctination Theory.

Ah, words. Something I am comfortable with.

Ha! It's refering to Shep as her. Someone knows the truth.

fem!shep is the only shep!

Not according to 82 % of people.

i dont know what you could possibly mean by again, i mean, after all this is a completely new thread. never been locked before. ayup.

Wouldn't be the first time the majority of a population was dead wrong. But hey, the world needs another generic bald space MAHREEN!

"Tyyr's a necessary evil. " Spirit

Or just a player character who's male.

Fem Shep can't romance Tali. QED.

He doesn't think that as the game goes along.

Good afternoon.

Another forbes article

Soo...what's the current argum...I mean discussion?

Well, Javik can agree to write a book with Liara and try to enjoy peace when all it's over. I can see them being together.

Instead, I have learned a horrible truth of existence...some stories have no meaning.

I love both Fem!Shep and Penis!Shep, for different reasons.

In other news, I want Forbes to have my babies.

The "Dangerous Precendent" arguement is just bullshit. First it's been done before in exactly this context. Secondly, it happens constantly with other creative works as they are previewed to audiences. Movies, books, many other commercial creative works are altered due to the fact that audiences weren't happy with them. This usually happens BEFORE release but this is not really any different, aside from happening very publicly and very widely, than fixing an unsatisfying movie ending.

Have the people who are claiming, "Artistic Integrity" and the like familiar with the steaming pile that is the endings? How if they are canon they are completely illogical, full of plot holes, and directly contradictory to the previous 100+ hours of gameplay? Because if you are then admit that this is really shitty art.

Heresy. Then again I could totally see Tali hooking up with Vega.

...what?

I agree with what you said about the dangerous precedent argument at least.

Ah.

Don't say that about Tali, it's insulting

But yes, I agree with you (not about Vega and Tali but about the rest). Plus one can't really dissociate art and merchandise in this society. I believe videogames are an art, but at the same time they are a product, and we are its customers. I remember there was a book on the topic and I'm trying to find it between all the books in my home. I will post a bit more about that once I do.

The Tali-mancer is supporting the idea of Liara hooking up with a random NPC out of the blue so I forwarded the idea of Tali hooking up with another NPC completely out of the blue.

I wonder if there would be any impetus for creating a category akin to, "Commercial Artistic Endeavour." A label that acknowledges the artistic effort that goes into a project while still admitting that the ultimate goal is to make stacks of money and the need to satisfy an audience.

For some reason the link refuses to work correctly. Copy paste it and delete the spaces between the ","s and the numbers. When I edit the post I can't see said spaces so idk what happens. Must have something to do with wiki code.

Here a good thread with the various statements that Bioware had made prior to the game's release

I like Garrus and Tali as a couple.

Here's me entering my jaded phase again, but a company lying about the end result of a game's development is nothing new. What makes this time so special? Seriously, why is this of all cases different than say...Peter Molyneux hyping almost every single one of his games ever?
