Ah, that's... unfortunate
I vastly prefer fully-poseable figures to simple mantlepieces (I enjoy me a handful of Play Arts Kai), but I guess for that price it's still a decent piece if the work is good
Wrong on both counts. From Ashes was never meant to be part of the main game and was put together from leftover scraps of a discarded storyline. An old build of the game was leaked onto the net in late 2011 which featured the Prothean character having a much larger role and a completely different character from Javik. It was abandoned sometime during development.
The Leviathan DLC was part of an (after the fact) attempt to fix the mess of the original ending. It wouldn't have been part of the main game as Walters/Hudson felt the "Lots of speculation from everyone" approach to be better than explaining the origins/motivation of the central figure in the ending.
No way was ashes content not taken into account. Most of the star kid arguments and points were never introduced outside of javiks comments. That was the core of my problem with the ending, it literally made no sense because the arguments were never presented without the DLC.
What comments? He didn't mention it once. Are you mixing him up with the Victory V.I?
Mostly he introduces the concept that AI turning on their creators is inevitable, as was seen in his cycle. There were a number of times that he reinforced the concept as the story progressed. This is critical because without it the majority of AI have been consistently shown as victims of organics and not the other way. Pretty much the exact opposite of the reasoning star kid gives for the harvest, epically when the fleet has synthetics fighting side by side with organics in the final battle.
He mentions it once, with the "throw Legion out the airlock" comments. The ending was written separately by Walters/Hudson, who took no input from the rest of the writing team, nor did they involve the ending in the rest of the process.
Reading "The last hours" makes it clear that they believed the synthetic/organic conflict was obvious as the central theme of the story, which did not need any explanation.
The arguments about revenue etc etc are arguing from the point of view of EA.
Since I am not EA make more single player. Or DLC. Or an expansion. Or a new game. Or anything else. BioWare games are not my thing for Multiplayer no matter what they do barring a miracle better used on more important things.
But since we're getting what we're getting hope someone likes it!
EA gets to decide how much money Bioware is given to make the game. That makes their point of view fairly important.
The money for MP would not be used on "more important things". It just wouldn't exist.
The "more important things" would be like the cure for cancer.
And no one can say what would happen if they cut MP, not even EA probably.
Cancer?!
EA absolutely can say how much (or little) money they will be giving one of their studios to make a game. Removing potential sources of revenue will make them lower that amount.

Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

This phrasing has clearly gone off the rails.
It would be very unlikely for me to care about the MP in a Mass Effect game.

Offhand there are also a couple discussions with/about EDI, a few in mission comments during geth missions, and he has comments about how the geth/quarian conflict was ended either way. Outside of the red/blue/green shift it was one of the big talking points in innumerable YouTube videos back in the day.
Regardless of what they thought, that ending got craped on so hard ME3 still hovers around 3ish stars on amazon to this day.
Xeddicus, if you get bored sometime (and on console) slap in the disk sometime and give it a whirl. The MP gameplay is a hoot and still pretty active on xbox, which kinda shocked me.

I'll probably still get the Female Ryder figure, simply because it looks cool and I currently don't have any Mass Effect Merchandise yet.
Although a friend of mine is going to print the vanguard, renegade and paragon symbols on some hats for me when he has time.
I'd like to get a sweet Mass effect mouse pad at some point, but the last time I looked on the internet for mouse pads, I was blinded by the molded boob and ass ones
I'm just going to place it on top of my computer and never touch it again except for dusting, so poseable or not doesn't really matter to me. That price is an amazing deal for how it looks.

Printed graphics aside, those molded mousepads are phenomenal. I got one from an office supply store (all navy blue no design) and my wrist was comfortable as hell when I used it.

I'm wary of molded mouse pads because I used to have a mousepad with a wrist cushion on it, and it's toxic chemical smell used to always make my hand stink.

I finally got around to finishing off the Citadel DLC, had stopped once it was time to start getting ready for the party. Totally worth waiting for, lots of funny moments in that party.
But god damn I was rusty in the combat arena, had to drop the difficulty all the way back down to normal... that's what 4 years without touching the game will do shesh.

Jorvik establishing that this has happened before is pretty key to opening the player's mind to the Star Child, and the Leviathan's, whole premise.

He doesn't though.
He whines about trusting AIs whenever Shepard doesn't urinate on an AI or delete it on his way to more serious problems.
If you talk to him about it on the normandy he tells exactly one story which details a race that created AIs, used implants and allowed the AIs to fine tune them, leading the AIs to enslave the organics.
It's a horrible mess, thematically, if you consider the amount of time you can spend getting the geth and quarians to bury the hatchet, only for the ghost child to say:
"AIs and organics can never co-exist, AIs will always turn on organics, here, let me reinforce that argument by using your goo to make a spaceship and killing your AI pals!".
And even if you want to go down that road, surely every species needs to be able to make that decision for themselves;
To see whether they can learn to get past their baser instincts and not nuke themselves to death (krogan, anyone?), create a murderous AI (leviathans, anyone?) or an unstoppable bio-pathogen.
The game's logic hinges on the butthole races (protheans, leviathans) being right.
They themselves assume they *are* right because they were the most advanced race, enslaved all the others but couldn't get AIs to work themselves (arrogance, hubris!).
WELL, perhaps being a slaver doesn't imbue you with the right temperament to code a moral AI.
serious question: the preorder bonus stuff. Is it the same across all platforms?
It looks like it, yeah. There hasn't been any announcements (that I've seen) that indicate otherwise. You can even get the physical items "add-on" on Amazon if you want instead of directly through BioWare.

The premise falls even more apart at the seams when you think about how choosing any of the endings invalidates starchild's "organics and synthetics can never get along". All 3 endings are shepherd and the reapers working together (even if that 'together' is destroying all ai).
It was basically the last minute work of two authors, and while the topic has been done to death, it is interesting to hear what other writers who are gamers have to say about it. In this case, the writer of the hit The Expanse.
Which is the oldest failing in the book, plan your damn endings. To be fair, the original planned ending was terrible too. It's just Bioware has a really poor track record at sticking the landing.

Eh, a well-crafted poseable will have a decent enough design that they're pretty unobtrusive, and its a great trade-off for more dynamic posing.
