    I kind of want to know how
    all of my armor just neatly fell off, leaving the uniform underneath totally intact.

    I'd have liked it better if you just had banged up armor instead, but I understand that they couldn't do that with all of the armor options in the game.

    Also I was wearing Blood Dragon before I got lasered./spoiler]

    Yeah but I was wearing Blood Dragon.

    Well that's your own fault.

    That doesn't make sense, since Blood Dragon looks the best.

    A note regarding the ending
    according to the strategy guide, to get the final persuade option on the illusive man, you have to have used one in every conversation you had with him up to that point.

    there are so many beautiful moments in this game, and in this series, and so many great characters....well, I can't say that everything would be ruined by one small portion of it

    no spoilers, just feelings re: ending
    it's shocking, is what I think. it provokes a big backlash. after a day or two most people will come down from that frustration high and appreciate the rest of the game for the incredible work of art that it is, but in the short term, there is going to be a lot of angry pounding of keys

    Do they ever explain what was going on with the Dark Energy buildup in Haestrom's sun? I assumed that was going to be a major plot point in 3 but AFAIK it wasn't mentioned once.

    As I understand it, the original plan for the plot was that there is a buildup of dark energy that, if not resolved, would eventually overtake everything in the galaxy. The reapers apparently were harvesting new species in order to bring new minds into their fold in their search for a solution. Human ingenuity (or genetic diversity, whatever) made humans an ideal candidate, which is why they were making a human reaper.

    Apparently that all got scrapped in the end. There was a post about it somewhere, but I forget where I saw it.

    From what I read, it was originally intended to be the main plotline for the reaper threat, that somehow the reaper cycle was tied in to that. Not sure why they scrapped the idea.
