Do you want a new movie? Yes? What do you prefer, prequel or sequel? Sequel? Okay, great. Then the next movie will be called minnesota jones, starring tom cruise, and will be about an adventurous paleontologist. ok. This. Good luck Hudson, but good effing riddance. Shit the bed as bad as the ME3 endings debacle there should be accountability. Bring him back after that and then expect brilliance? Insanity. RIP. Now, how about his co-“I‘m going to totally screw up the franchise”-conspirator MAC Walters? Is he still cockroaching around? Of course he is. More insanity.

Don't people understand work place need to new blood and new ideas to evolve. You can't have same people working in the same studio forever.

Sure, but have the new people done anything to get you to think they were borderline competent. The place has mostly been new people for a while and we got MEA and Anthem.

Sure, but have the new people done anything to get you to think they were borderline competent. The place has mostly been new people for a while and we got MEA and Anthem. And therein lies the problem, according to what's come out about the development of Anthem and Andromeda.
Supposedly, the issue lies in bad decisions or incompetent management from certain people at the top of EA and Bioware, while those at the ground level are either too new, too worried about their job security to really push back or question those decisions. Meanwhile others in the middle have become jaded because they know that they won't be listened to even if they do say something.
This has allegedly created a chaotic and unhealthy working environment which lead to many of the devs working on MEA leaving the company (some due to stress) or jumping to another project after completing their assigned work (not even sticking around to see it launch), as well as why Anthem kept having flight added and removed until very late in development, because no-one really knew what the game was supposed to be about?
For a company that makes games where fostering cooperation and communication between various groups is often vital to success, they're not that great at following that same principle in real life.
I mean, the Inquisitor never decided to shut down the tavern because they got fed up with people in the Inquisition questioning or criticising their decisions, requiring those members to have to set up their own bars outside of Skyhold in order to meet?
(That said, this is based on information given by ex-employees, so take it with a pinch of salt.)

Well it's not like they had a choice, the Mass Effect 3 endings were so world altering it was going to be hared to write around it. I've said it before, Destroy is overall the best ending from a storytelling perspective.
With it, you get a post-apocalyptic Milky Way where everyone's struggling to rebuild society and many Mass Relays have been destroyed or damaged. You could have a game about a team of explorers attempting to chart the remaining Relays and opening previously inactive Relays to try to find new ways and damaged part of the network, in the hopes of re-establish contact with colonies and races that have been cut-off since the end of ME3. This would also lead them to unexplored areas of the galaxy and maybe even to races that managed to never be discovered by the Citadel Council.
(Making our protagonist quite literally a "Pathfinder")
There you go, Bioware, a game set in the Milky Way that would deliver on the premise of Andromeda, that doesn't fundamentally break the universe like Synthesis or Control did. No reprogrammed Reapers to fix the mess and leave us with a cosy catastrophe, but actually delivers on the brutal consequences of a post-Reaper invasion Milky Way would look like and operates under the confines of established lore.
See how easy that was?

But that ignores the people who chose control or synthesis. It was clear that Bioware didn't want to deal with the Milky Way anymore otherwise they wouldn't give us those huge choices at the end.

With respect, statistically so few people picked either of those options....who gives a damn. suck it up and buy the next game, or don't. As people love to say around here, not every game is going to cater to "you" personally. Destroy was the overwhelming majority pick, regardless of how many folks around here hate it, or think it's boring, or w/e other excuse they have.

They should have hired the Indoctrination theory people and made that cannon then we would have destroy as cannon since in that case the other two endings are an illusion. IT DOESN'T change the fact that everyone still forgets the whole quote and misinterprets part of the quote by Hudson FOR ME3 ENDINGS: Yes he refereed to the alphabetical crap -it is after that part that follows that people forget/misinterpret or just plain forget. Its my opinion that Mr. Hudson was NOT referring to the ENDING ENDINGS but squad-mate story arcs here.
And no I am not defending him - he has made plenty of other mistakes. Its just that without all facts a lie is a lie and we all know that leads to the occupation of a public liar AKA a politician. And Casey Hudson in public office is something i would rather NEVER see.
Does that mean the default ENDING ENDINGS are good to me: Meh.
Wouldn't know -never played them. I didn't complete ME3 till this mod got released: Yes that means I am a PC gamer. AND YES THAT MEANS I WENT 8+ YEARS WITH Shepards AT 95% COMPLETION -I missed a few missions on the side so what.
And before you go whining and complaining that I am breaking their "artist integrity" remember this: I bought the game so take that whimpering lip and eat it.
If they don't want someone to data-mine or explore the assets of a game or program -then don't sell it. If you do the I will do what I want with it within TOS.
And for the console-rs out there who hate the fact I modified the game to use a mod and you feel ostracized I have solution for you: -Get a used Dell Optiplex and a 1050ti low profile card OFF EBAY- it will usually be less than these new console prices.. -Get PC ME3 off steam when on sale
-Get Microsoft Controller for Windows
-install mod and necessary files and what not and play the game -NOTE: IF NEED CONSOLE SAVES -THERE IS A WAY TO TRANSFER FROM CONSOLE TO PC.
If that makes you mad or angry... Then just know this: Consoles are a symbol of conformity and unity but also a symbol of totalitarianism.
You have no freedom except within bounds of what the consoles gives you or doesn't.
A PC gives you that freedom back.
Unless you don't want that freedom -then... I DONT CARE!

The Extended Cut basically paves over that hokey dialogue from Star-geezer, especially a high-EMS ending. That change over time nonsense only works in a galactic dark age, which gets retconned into oblivion.

Yes! This is exactly the idea I had for ME4 right after ME3. I remember being dissapointed when the relays were rebuild in the extended cut because it worked against this setup. Go explore all the "fly over country" in the milky way that was too far away from mass relays. Have planets in various stages of civilization. Make every system a Star Trek episode.

"One early idea was to develop a prequel to Mass Effect, set during the First Contact Wars of the series’ lore, when the humans of Mass Effect’s galaxy had interacted with aliens for the first time. In late 2012, Hudson asked fans if they’d prefer to see a game before or after the original trilogy. The answers were resounding: most people wanted a sequel, not a prequel.. “The feedback from the community, focus groups and the team working on the project was the same,” said one person who worked on the game. “We wanted to do a game set after the trilogy, not during or before.” if what schreier reported above is true... and if Hudson based the concept of his new game on what the fans asked for... how stupid do you have to be to set the "sequel" in a totally different galaxy with totally different characters, where the very semantic significance of prequel, midquel and sequel loses all meaning? did you guys like indiana jones? Do you want a new movie? Yes? What do you prefer, prequel or sequel? Sequel? Okay, great. Then the next movie will be called minnesota jones, starring tom cruise, and will be about an adventurous paleontologist. ok.

So? And it was made clear by the guy telling the story that the details he told the kid have changed over time. Who told the first story? For that individual to tell that story, he/she had to have been up on lala land when Shepard encountered dumb, dumb to know exactly what happened. Come on. The Extended Cut basically paves over that hokey dialogue from Star-geezer, especially a high-EMS ending. That change over time nonsense only works in a galactic dark age, which gets retconned into oblivion. Or just time. We rewrite history on the daily now, why would it be different in the future.

This is, what? 7th or 8th time BioWare had died? And it's no less true now than it was then. You don't need to physically die to be dead.
