    Wait, do vanilla players not have access to tweaks done to existing units in HOTS?

    I may be completely wrong but I don't think so. pretty sure WoL will remain as is and HOTS is its own thing

    honestly not sure now that I'm thinking about it.

    da fuq, that sounds weird

    If that is true that is the most convoluted solution to RTS expansion packs I've ever seen.

    If I did have kids I would keep them in line with raw vegan gluten free sugar free mint macaroons.

    "What did you just say to me, young man? I think you need to eat a cookie."

    "Por favor, padre, no la galleta!"
    As a kid our parents would buy Frookies - fruit-juice sweetened health food store cookies. One time I offered one to a friend and I warned him he might not like it and he's like, "nah, there's no such thing as a bad cookie."

    And then he said, "well, I guess I was wrong."

    In fact, from an entirely meta-gamey stance, the fact that EDI and the Geth die in the canon red interpretation was only done because the asshat who wrote it wanted to ensure there was no completely good ending.

    Indoctrination theory doesn't really work with the other endings.

    Although it does pose the question, what if indoctrination theory is only correct if you
    choose red, and otherwise it isn't?

    Are narratives of player choice retroactively flexible? My instinct is no, not without precedent in the game.

    I think it works with all endings, but retroactively changed endings would be cool as hell
    there was some game that had this but i don't remember which one

    dragon age, perhaps? except it was terrible because it was like "no matter what you chose, it was the right decision. yay you!"

    games should make fun of the player and call them stupid

    Buh?

    The only choice in Dragon Age at the end is which Grey Warden must sacrifice himself to save everyone.

    There is no right or wrong choice, because all wardens have this responsibility.

    The final option of the ritual so no one has to make the sacrifice is presented as a "have your cake and eat it too with very, very potentially bad consequences paid forward choose at your own risk."

    There is no truly bad ending.

    And sarcasm yes, but it deserves to be said.

    No game should make me feel like I was an asshole for playing it.

    Especially not a whole trilogy.
    no it wasn't the ending

    maybe I was thinking of the dwarf kings decision in orzammar but it's possible i'm thinking of another game

    also games should challenge your beliefs and make fun of you for being a bad person like in alpha protocol

    Shameful pursuits and utterly stupid opinions

    honestly not sure now that I'm thinking about it.

    Right now, it seems like they're planning on combining them. When you play Heart of the Swarm, you have to select a different server domain for the beta. Then when switch back to Wings of Liberty, it leaves your account in the HotS beta domain and WoL whines that your client is not authorized. After that you get a popup that lets you select the production Wings of Liberty servers. That wouldn't make sense unless they were going to eventually combine them. Otherwise, just hard code the clients to use the separate domains always.

    No.

    Organic life is extremely orderly. That whole "the Reapers are order to organic life's chaos" is Reaper mystical bullshit.

    I believe that they might believe that, but don't tell me the player that's how it is.
