    kudos to you, sir

    I hereby present you with the Joss Whedon Award for excellence in murdering beloved characters.

    samara: saved one of her daughters, stopped her from blowing her head off
    legion: died valiantly in the collector base, replaced by fake legion who turns out to be an asshole, killed him, ruined all geth forever
    zaeed: helped me save the volus ambassador, hung out in a shipping container for the rest of the game

    @takyris I feel like I should point out that, mild misgivings about the ending aside, this was one of the best written games I have ever played.

    Regardless of what other people say, you guys are aces in my book. <3

    Thanks, dude. That means a lot. :)
    (PS: Who would I have to kill to get a writing job at BioWare? I have the fiberglass omniblade right here, give me the word, I'm on a plane in two hours.)

    Let me get some addresses from BSN...

    I just want to throw out there too that I immensely, immensely enjoyed this game. Everything from the character moments to taking back Earth and kicking the Reapers in the quads was aces. I'm pretty pleased with how my Shepard's story ended too. I wouldn't mind a post game DLC, but that's partly because I don't want to leave this great setting.

    Thanks, guys. :)

    Oh, fun Easter Egg spoiler: (warning, Easter Egg may contain poison) (recommend avoiding unless you're past Priority: Thessia)
    So, Joker after Thessia, having the ambient with Liara?
    You learn that his sister Hilary is on Tiptree, and he's trying to find out if she got out.
    Then you hear the PTSD Asari's story, about what happened on Tiptree, and how she, by implication, killed that farm-girl so that the banshee wouldn't find her by the noise of the farm girl crying?
    The farm-girl who "wanted to be a pilot when she grew up" and who PTSD Asari slips up exactly once and calls Hilary.
    Yep.
    How do you feel now about authorizing a gun for her?

    yeah I'm real sorry some people are being shitheads about the game because of the endings

    even if I hated the ending, I don't think it would diminish the rest of what is easily my favorite series of games of this console generation

    Yeah, despite any of my complaints, I still love the series, and 3 might be my favorite.

    Edit: fuck mobile posting. How long was that half sentence sitting there. Ugh

    What the fuck. I've been staring at my screen for the last ten minutes trying to decide.

    Priority:Rannoch
    What the hell to do with Legion and making more smartgeth. It doesn't help that with subtitles on I get "Does this unit have a soul?" right in my face while I try to think. I've done everything I can in all the games to back Tali and the quarians because she is an OG spacebro from back in the days when it was just her, Garrus, and me making things happen. But Legion is a) pretty much right to ask whether they deserve death for defending themselves when fired on and b) a fantastic example of how this could all go so so well. At least with the Genophage I knew the salarian lady was a complete bitch about it.

    Thanks Taky, Bioware, Obama, for making me have to go get a drink and really think about my virtual actions.

    Best part was the level designer:
    Her: You want to put what in?

    Me: Authorization for her to get a gun.

    Her: But she's traumatized. She will totally kill herself.

    Me: Well... yes.

    Her: That is horrible.

    Me: You know, the girl she killed turns out to have been Joker's sister?

    Her: What?

    Me: Yep.

    Her: Oh, well, fuck that. I'll have the terminal thing in by noon.
