ME3 failed thanks to ME2 ignoring half the topics it needed to address, LE made me realize that ands there are more and more users who are pointing out those flaws. While ME2 could have done it better, ME3 failed in that regard as it didn't explain why ME2 mattered and how it did address at least some of the topics needed. If ME3 hadn't ignored it like it hadn't happened. But instead revealed what mattered about the collectors, what they were doing, how stopping them effected the reapers, how blowing up the relay effected the reapers etc it could have worked. So could have ME2 done a better job setting up ME3 sure, but ME3 didn't help the situation by just ignoring it. You know, your right. they both epically failed. ME2 failed because it had a totally pointless, filler narrative that meant absolutely nothing and was basically Shepard just dicking around ignoring the Reaper problem for 90% of the game, also ME2 failed to properly foreshadow a Reaper weakness that could be exploited to avoid stupid ass pull Ex Machina's. But on the other hand, I could argue ME3 didn't follow through on it, because ME2 gave ME3 almost nothing to work with. It's The Last Jedi of Mass Effect, a middle work that kind of ignores the first one, and leaves nothing for the third to work with. Now as you said, It's ME3's job (somewhat) to make nothing into something, I agree, but given Biowares roller coaster writing quality across the franchise I don't know how feasible of an idea that is to expect from them. ME3 fails because it didn't take that threadbare story left behind and do anything with it, as you said, acting like it never existed, which, lets be honest, ME2 might as well not exist at all from a narrative point of view outside of Arrival to explain why Shepard is confined, and Lair of the Shadow Broker to explain how Liara is suddenly the Shadow Broker. The only real relevance ME2 provides to 3, is if you have a Tali or Garrus romance, since that's the only content locked to ME2 that you get for the whole game in 3. ME2 provided incredible world building and characters, but I have to wonder why Bioware spent time on more world building when, at the time, they were convinced ME3 was the end of the franchise, if your franchise is ending at the end of the next game, why are you still fleshing out a setting your about to abandon? (which they did anyway, but for different reasons) I'm glad more people are finally realizing how terrible the ME2 plot is, because I feel like I've been shouting into the void the past 10 years on that Hill.

I was also thinking that Cora and Lexi are seen as annoying or boring (by some) because they're the ones who actually take things seriously. Hmm. It's funny because I found Cora to be the only tolerable person in the entire game. So much so that by the end of my playthrough, I recognized that she should have been the protagonist and not Ryder. It's funny, because honestly, Cora is like solid Wife material. She hates making risky/frivolous financial decisions (as proven by the poker game) she's very level headed for the most part. Always trying to be responsible and meticulous. Exactly what the Pathfinder needs to be (cough)

Yeah I feel ME2 is the weakest of the bunch easily, and then 3rd one as they failed to catch the "space magic" of 1st one, which Andromeda brought back for me. Also I am not saying they are bad games, just not as good for me and I've probably overplayed them, which is the reason I could not much care them anymore during LE. Actually did not complete ME3LE because of its janky combat mechanics and all out boring war. Now ME5, with Andromeda combat style (unarguably and easily the best in the series) and even more better visuals (newer engine iteration etc.) ... thats something to wait to me. I'll take Andromeda or MW, dont care so much but just dont make it like 2 or 3 ME3 failed thanks to ME2 ignoring half the topics it needed to address, LE made me realize that ands there are more and more users who are pointing out those flaws. That's partly why it failed. the 18 month dev cycle EA forced on em didn't help either.

It will be a black female transgendered lesbian Shepard because tokenism. She'll probably fall into a love triangle with Liara and retconned Lesbian Ashley, She'll be renegade towards male characters because they constantly "talk down to her" and don't respect her so she has to constantly flex on them while the females on the crew flail around squeeing "WOO GO QUEEN!" while she dismantles the patriarchy. Saren will be the "fake bad guy" because hes a dumb male and he represents the oppression, so he'll get shot in the face on Virmire, where they reveal that Benezia was the real villain the entire time, the puppet master behind the scenes because shes a woman, thus having all the brains to actually come up with an intelligent plan. When they reach Noveria they reveal that Sovereign is the real Reaper and etc etc, Benezia gets shot on the Citadel control platform, they show a pointless make out scene with FemSHep and whoever wins the love triangle at that point (probably Liara) and roll credits. Oh and Kaiden dies on Virmire, because he's a guy, screw him.
Every Alien will be fully CG, as will all environments and most "sets". Talking more CG than the Star Wars prequals here, because practical effects are for losers who like to waste money on quality when you can just do it cheaply and get the point across.

Not sure if this has been discussed here yet, apparently this got announced a while ago and I just never heard about it. Looks like a pretty neat concept. I'll probably get it for sure, if for no other reason than to support Spiders, since they try really hard with their games with the small budgets they have.

According to one of Mark Darrah's videos, they finished pre-production but later fell into pre-production again. That's part of the reason why he left Bioware. I think that may involve the transition to a single-player focused game. Last year they had completed the latter pre-production.
OK, let me get this straight. DA4 was in pre-production. Then EA told Bio to remove MP and go strictly to a RPG SP game. Back into-pre-production, followed by a one year delay to get the new blue print stamped for approval.
Reading between the lines, if it took one year to get deep characters, emotional cinematics.. et al, What on earth were we getting with the original live-service MP game? A short 3 hr RPG story to appease the fan base and all MP combat? More nerfed mage spells? A four-man fire-team à la Anthem?
I shudder....

This is exactly correct. Saying Fighters is adequate defense from foreign powers who have the ability to use battleships is just ridiculous. This isn't a universe where 1 X-Wing can make a 1 in a million shot and blow up the Super Doom Ship with literal magic. And for all these supposed fighters I keep hearing about, I never see them. Not even during Liams mission where soldiers from Eos show up to "help", in shuttles with no weapons...even if you picked a military outpost. YOu know, during that extremely important mission when the entire AI is at risk due to Liams stupidity? Guess the fate of the AI isn't important enough for fighters. We gotta settle for unarmed shuttles full of soldiers whose only contribution is altering shipboard systems, which SAM could easily have done, because SAM does everything the fuck else in any other situation because SAM is a writing crutch. Hmmm, I do remember the colonists fighting off the enemy during the mission. Then my game must have been horribly bugged, because all I got was a bunch of "soldiers" in shuttles, telling me they can't really do anything except hack systems.

Having a bunch of fighters is not the same thing as having actual ship to ship weapons. It's like being a ship without cannons sending out boats with musketeers against a ship that does have cannons. This is exactly correct. Saying Fighters is adequate defense from foreign powers who have the ability to use battleships is just ridiculous. This isn't a universe where 1 X-Wing can make a 1 in a million shot and blow up the Super Doom Ship with literal magic. And for all these supposed fighters I keep hearing about, I never see them.

Why, exactly? neither the Angara, or the AI have warships, at all. The AI is an idiotic organization that deliberately chose to show up in foreign lands with NO WEAPONS. *shrugs* Making the Arks into dreadnoughts would have failed any rational cost-benefit analysis. There's a window of, what, a couple of decades where a handful of dreadnaughts can be competitive with a new interstellar power. After that, you'll be at their mercy even if you brought dreadnaughts, and if that situation didn't come up at all, you've put yourselves decades behind in terms of papulation and economic growth, which is another way to lost to hostile alien civilizations. And you don't send unarmed colonists into uncharted lands either. I'm sorry, but that's basic logic. Not once in history was unarmed civilians told to go settle a place and just pray the natives would be receptive.

Nope, not at all the same argument, because 1, the tempest does not have a stealth drive, it has no weapons, it's not testing a new CIC design. It represents nothing other than an unarmed ship that can't hide its presence. The ship provides no tactical benefit whatsoever, which was not the case with Normandy. exploration vessels need weapons for self defense, end of story. There is no defending this point unless you're just willfully being an idiotic fanboy. Every manned exploration vessel in history had weapons to defend themselves, because people aren't as stupid as the AI is written to be. The Tempest does have a stealth drive. From the wiki: Owing to both the Citadel Council's restrictions on civilian vessels bearing military-grade weaponry, and the Initiative's own emphasis on peaceful exploration, the Tempest completely lacks any external armaments such as torpedo launchers or mass accelerator cannons. Heavy armour and a main gun were traded in the design phase for a vessel that is small, stealthy and fast, capable of both interstellar exploration and subtle infiltration in equal measure. With an IES stealth system derived from the technology first employed by the SSV Normandy, the Tempest can remain hidden from most forms of detection, while its superior speed and maneuverability make it easily able to evade any pursuing vessels should its presence be discovered. Well then, Bioware themselves clearly forgot that fact, because they never use it once, in the entire game, when it would have been useful multiple times.

The AI did show up with weapons. Not just handheld firearms, but also turrets and star fighters (we see both numerous times in MEA). The Arks and Nexus not having armament makes sense considering they are civilian in nature, so having no weapons makes them not targets to most races, as expressed before in the franchise such as EDI’s and Joker’s comment about the Quarians arming their civilian ships. Same with the Tempest since one of its main roles is basically be an ambassador ship. Real world vehicles that serve that role, such as Air Force One, are also unarmed. Plus the other reasons such as it’s speed and stealth making those unnecessary (unless you think for example the SR71 is a failure of an aircraft because they didn’t have armaments either). At least try to make arguments that can’t be immediately refuted by loads of ingame and other evidence.
You arrive on Habitat 7 with pistols, rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, and etc. So yeah the AI isn't an unarmed group they also have strict First Contact Protocol that the use of weapons is ONLY allowed when the aliens show hostile intent or the life of a member of the Pathfinder team is in jeopardy.
And the criticism about the Tempest not being armed reminds me of the the rear Admiral in ME1 said that the Normandy SR-1 was "a of taxpayer waste money" and thought that the spy recon aspect of it was a "gimmick" and that "the role of a war ship is too destroy the enemy not count how many time their troops go to bathroom." He also blasted the layout of CIC and the fact that Shepard had "alien nationals on board an Alliance war ship." and while he wasn't 100% sold on Normandy SR-1 depending on how you handle his criticism he does state that his report won't be as negative as he originally intended (or even more negative if Shepard tells him to clear the deck and more or less to get get lost if you go full renegade on his ass). Same people who complain about the Tempest not having any weapons are making the same stupid arguments that jackass Rear Admiral made in the first game about the so-called iconic (I'm not sure it's in the same league as any of the various ships from Star Trek and Star Wars but that's just me both versions of Normandy to me are in the same league as the ships from Farscape, Babylon 5, and Space: 1999) Normandy SR-1 and the Normandy SR-2.
Nope, not at all the same argument, because 1, the tempest does not have a stealth drive, it has no weapons, it's not testing a new CIC design. It represents nothing other than an unarmed ship that can't hide its presence. The ship provides no tactical benefit whatsoever, which was not the case with Normandy. exploration vessels need weapons for self defense, end of story. There is no defending this point unless you're just willfully being an idiotic fanboy.

Why, exactly? neither the Angara, or the AI have warships, at all. The AI is an idiotic organization that deliberately chose to show up in foreign lands with NO WEAPONS. None of the AI's ground vehicles even have weapons. What could these groups do to stop a fully focused Kett attack exactly? The Kett could sit in orbit, with their warships, and just bomb planets into submission. For gods sake the one time at the end of the game Ryder magically summons the Forerunner ships, THEY DON'T EVEN FUCKING SHOOT! This is the most ridiculous, lopsided set up I've ever seen in fiction. It's like a bunch of brain dead fanatical pacificts wrote this crap. Ryder can't be everywhere, and your team is clearly the only ones capable of defeating any Kett at all given the missions we're given the whole game. THe only reason the Kett haven't already won is pure narrative bullshitery. Essentially i take the view that by the end of the trilogy Bioware was very uncomfortable with the militaristic setting they'd created(hence their perfect ending is space jesus) Andromeda is a bad extension of this. Hopefully this trend isn't continued in ME4. If that's the case, then Bioware needs to get over it, because the only consistent game they have going right now that's profitable, is based on the second most militaristic setting in the history of sci fi down in Austin. The stupid part is, in a post reaper world you can de-escalate as much as you want. Have the next ME game be like 50 years later and chase a Pirate Warlord across a sector to stop him from raiding neighboring planets that are trying to recover from the war. You can tone shit down as much as you want. Your the bloody writer! But the shits gotta make sense man! No one is actually going to choose to just not be prepared to defend themselves. That's naive to a level that's just ridiculous. Just ask all the anti-gun senators that walk around with armed bodyguards.

Everyone here realizes Dragon Age 2 didn't get finished either, right? The Exalted March was cancelled, and it's whole narrative neutered and squished into being a footnote in Act 1 of Inquisition. Bioware decided to Prioritize their stupid, pointless Felicia Day DLC, the Mark of Felicia Day instead because they wanted to fanboy over a massively overrated actress. The abandoned plans were because of the massive backlash against DA2. Hawke was being set up to be the Shep of Dragon Age, and clearly the Inquisitor was originally Hawke. Even the opening of DA2 is clearly a framing narrative for this. Not entirely true. DA2 got 2 big DLC's. Exalted March was cancelled because the DLC sales were bad...which is amusing considering the second one was quite literally pointless except for teasing Orlesian fashion styles. You bare however 100% correct about the rest. Hawke was clearly going to be the Inquisitor, and should have been the Inquisitor frankly. Dragon Age 2 was billed as "rise to power" and how Hawke was "the most important person in the history of Thedas". Corypheus was Hawke's problem to solve, because Hawke was the one who was tricked into releasing him. It should have been Hawke. Alas, Bioware has long since burned that bridge with me. I'm done with DA because they refuse to deviate from their "New character every game no matter what" formula.

I think it’s made pretty clear that the Kett may not be quite up to engaging the Initiative and Angara directly after their losses at both Khi Tasira and Meridian. Even if they decided to attack the planetside settlements, they’d have a much harder time getting to the operations within the Dyson sphere. We don’t really know what’s left that the Primus has under her command, though the ominous final cutscene suggests at least something to be concerned about. One thing’s for certain, the rest of the empire could not in any way respond to this anytime soon, since they need their own arks to even reach Heleus. By the time fresh troops were to arrive, the entire cluster could be settled with cities with fleets patrolling the entire region. Why, exactly? neither the Angara, or the AI have warships, at all. The AI is an idiotic organization that deliberately chose to show up in foreign lands with NO WEAPONS. None of the AI's ground vehicles even have weapons.

I find it very hard to imagine Ash being adopted, considering how her family is basically her religion. As someone said above, Her writer said she was hispanic, which makes total sense honestly. But that begs the question of her last name, which sounds Not Really Hispanic. Very bizarre situation overall. ofc, it probably wouldn't be if Bioware ever bothered to elaborate on anything not named Garrus, Tali or Liara. I meant to say in my head canon she is adopted. At first I thought she was half Hispanic/ half Black like former NY Yankees centerfielder Bernie Williams. But then you showed me that clip about Sarah and there's no doubt they pretty much abandoned Ash as a character. So while she looks Hispanic she's really White. But like I said before Black, White, or Hispanic it doesn't matter I like ME1 Ash the best. I know man...she was really something, once...

Yep, I was right, Sarah is white as fuck. She's Neon white. Way to go Bioware...what a stupid ass mistake, and absolute proof how little bioware gave a damn about Ashley's character. I never saw that scene but you're right there's no mistaking it Sarah is white. I'll just head canon it that Ash is adopted. I've heard how badly they handled Ash in ME3. But I did not see that clip you posted entirely I only saw 5 seconds worth. I downloaded a mod for LE3 that's suppose to restore some cut lines from the romance, and add some better camera angles. Anyway since I am Hispanic in real life, I like to think of Ash as a sassy Latina. I find it very hard to imagine Ash being adopted, considering how her family is basically her religion. As someone said above, Her writer said she was hispanic, which makes total sense honestly. But that begs the question of her last name, which sounds Not Really Hispanic.

If it's not Bio's favourite blue waifu, then they don't care. whats funny about that, is Liara in ME1 is basically a cardboard cutout whos ready to bone you after 2 conversations. Ashley is actually the most fleshed out character along with Wrex in the game.

As far as in know DA2 should have been a DLC for DAO. But with the big Success of DAO, EA forced Bioware to make a full game out of the DLC. You are incorrect. Origins was made to be a one off game, with no sequels ever in mind. That's why the game has a proper ending with satisfying epilogue that is now constantly being ignored or contradicted. The game made boatloads of money, so EA asked for a sequel, that Bioware never had any plans for, and was only given 18 months to make it.

That's kind of why I'm in 2 minds about the next game. Why should I invest in the next ME if they can't finish the story they started to tell? I get it that MEA wasn' t that well recieved but it's important to finish what you start imo. At least for those that did like it. “Even DA2 had DLC support”
“can’t finish the story they started to tell”These tell me you both missed something pretty huge, which is that DA2 was actually made by BioWare from start to finish, even though it was rushed. Andromeda was made by another company, who wasted years of times and millions of dollars doing little, until some people from BioWare came in last minute to try to salvage something out of what they had, in the year before release. This is not a story they started to tell. It’s a train they redirected before it completely flew off a cliff, but they didn’t start that train. Everyone here realizes Dragon Age 2 didn't get finished either, right? The Exalted March was cancelled, and it's whole narrative neutered and squished into being a footnote in Act 1 of Inquisition. Bioware decided to Prioritize their stupid, pointless Felicia Day DLC, the Mark of Felicia Day instead because they wanted to fanboy over a massively overrated actress.

Ah hah, the truth comes out from it's dark corner. The real reason all you psychopaths think punching people in public is a totally acceptable thing to do. Real talk though, I agree, she needed it. Why would I want to punch anyone in public? idk, thats a great question, but punching the reporter seems like The hip thing to do, as if people think that's a totally normaly, not crazy person thing to do.

Ashley is hispanic according to her ME1 writer Christ L'Etoile Yeah, she does look Hispanic now that I think of it. Though with the last name Williams she can be half Hispanic. Isn't Sarah white as fuck in ME3? you know, her sister? So... Honestly, BIoware probably forgot she was hispanic since they never gave a rip about her after CHris left.

I only care about bro Shepard. So: Maya Brooks Kasumi Emily Gianna All female human romance are Caucasian. Some variety would be nice. I'd say even Khalisa could have been more interesting than Allers. Ashley is hispanic according to her ME1 writer Christ L'Etoile I mean...all i'll say is, I ain't never seen a caucasian woman with that nose shape. I thought she was Italian or something.
