Five Ex-Bioware Devs Talk About Mass Effect 3's Ending

For me personally, the whole idea of there being an "Avatar" is the biggest problem. Why can't we just have it be how Sovereign said? "We are each a nation, independent". Harbinger was the First, therefor he is the leader. Why does it have to be all this Master Computer crap? The kid model makes it worse, 100%, then having Shepards voice make up 2/3rds of it's voice makes it worse another 100%. Then him being totally unwilling to address your concerns in a rational, logical way just makes it comical. The whole sequence is just like some dumb fever dream that feels so out of place. 

To steal a quote from Tropic Thunder: "Never go Full Artsy, it's too pretentious"

Again. Unreliable narrator. Harbinger throws around a hollow threat. Or he's about as accurate about 6 months as he is about humans having 3 eyes.

While I don't disagree, without a huge military power jump for the milky way, or nerfing the Reapers considerably, to the point they're not that overwhelming threat we originally though, thus entirely collapsing as a big threat, the franchise doesn't work, within a Reaper invasion setting. The Reapers are just not an entity that can be conventionally fought, viably and don't make for a good gameplay device.

EX Bioware Dev's decide to talk about this ending that's made ME fans cry for years, NOW? Excuse me if I take no notice of whatever these EX Employees have to say on the matter.
PS: I came to ME late in 2016 so I've never seen this ending. I may have to search for a video to see what all the fuss is about!

destroying the relay would set them back a few months

And yet you would still be effected by it even without direct contact. In this case they specifically said lethal radiation that would fry the organic parts of the Reapers and Husks. Which means it would need to be high and intense radiation to have that effect.

No joke. When I used scientific accuracy/physics with the ME4 teaser to point out the teaser may indicate it being soon after the war, people ate me alive because it didn't fit their preferences.

Supposedly a few alien wrinkles transcend all the laws of physics- trap option. The things we learn on these forums. 

Everyone's favorite Angry Marine from Cadian will have a field day if  increased scaliness of Asari is a part of a greater conspiracy of Asari's true form and them taking over the galaxy. I will bring popcorn if that occurs.

I know, I know.   

Come to think of it, the ME2 bachelor party flirted with that idea, didn't it?

Indeed, it was a mind bending idea that I really wish got explored on some level.

I mean they have photos and videos of Asari as well. It would be weird for it to be mind control if you also see them that way in photo form, when no Asari is within light years of you.
