[up][up][up] I know, but...

Well, here, I have an example.

I actually wanted to do a Kite-Runner style opening where a mother is reading a story to a child, and the story is basically the frame for the entire thing. But this beginning was scrapped bacause I'm writing about characters no one knows about yet and are still apparently "speshul" enough to warrant having tales written about them like Tolkien heroes of yore. That'd probably turn off a lot of readers from the get go.

I tried again with Recon hanging out with someone and just reminiscing. But that was just as presumptuous for the exact same reasons. He's talking with the main characters/ponies that nobody but me cares about and I expect the reader to give a rat's tail.

So I'm kinda stuck with the "Oh he's jumping around the forest spying on the village" prologue.

The EC patches it up quite a bit, but I can understand how some people would feel its a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.

The geth and EDI could certainly be repaired, but they would basically have to be retaught everything - the geth would be back to being drones slowly developing intelligence and EDI wouldn't have the experiences that helped her find her place as a lifeform. It's sad, but necessary.

In Mass Effect, AI's aren't created specifically, they always start off as computers, nothing more.

If the endings are leaving you depressed, you could always read this funny comic.

It takes the terrible endings and says "yes, they were terrible, but the characters are going to take what they have make it mean something."

You've linked it to me. Another reason I'm picking the red ending.

Also, this.

What have I done.

I've abandoned you again without warning.

I won't be on tomorrow, as I have to go to Melbourne again, (which is why I vanished in the first place) but I'll be back the day after.

I believe it's a city in Australia, my one of my big brother at first thought he'd go there a bit after his military service, he changed his answer to Nepal though.

I will continue playing Mass Effect for now, if only to get to 2. I'm kind of unmotivated now, though... thanks, Bioware.

Australia just got 20% cooler.

As for me I'm stuck in boring old Hattiesburg.

[up]Aw don't let the ending ruin the game.

But it does... nothing I'll do throughout three games will matter at all. That doesn't give me much motivation to accomplish things.

So...

Am I the only one here who was ok with the ending of the third game?
