What are your too ***SPICY*** to handle hot takes of the trilogy?

Had they gone with that and properly developed the game the reaction to the endings would have been so much calmer, I don't support Synthesis as the Reapers have only themselves to blame and the genius said: "We need to make everyone equal to solve the lack of genetic issue." But Bioware/EA rush and crunching employees (as well developing the game ending separate from the rest) and mixed with player reactions plus the journalists throwing the fuel to the fires it all adds to that big mess.

Oh that is still there, it is very pronounced in the ME3 LE.

Bingo.

True, the game was horribly rushed but the idea of the Reaper Queen was awesome.

So I got a surprising response to a comment chain in the cited video and if what he says is true then I think I am truly done with Bioware. He hasn't agreed to allow me to cite him so I won't mention his YT username at all. Do not go sending death threats, the media and the company is likely hoping they get them to go after us (and if you haven't been seeing what the US Justice Depart will do to parents who are protesting CRT on an apparent behalf of the teachers Unions then trust me that this isn't a free society anymore), but if companies like: Bethesda, CD Projekt Red and more are worthy of constructive negative criticism then so is Bioware:

"No, I'm not in charge of the tools we use, so I only saw correspondence as a third wheel, and the BioWare reps stopped appearing in our chats when the project was closed at around July this year. But some of the tool developers still talk to them privately. So I did get to see the shock on their "face" when they realized 3-hit melees were accidentally missing in Legendary Edition Mass Effect 3. A feature that will never be added back at least on consoles. It was clear that the reason he couldn't push to get it fixed is because their QA department only had room to address "critical" bugs, i.e. actual game crashes and other serious problems. Unfortunately an ugly save glitch is still stuck in the PlayStation ports where random plot flags and values are truncated in rare instances of saving. That will never be fixed.

The initial correspondence was allegedly by accident, because someone said they worked with modders but we had not heard a word. We contacted them because of that, and they owned up to it by actually collaborating directly after that point. We now have details like all their entire "StoryManager" plot table, which means we know what every single plot flag in the trilogy means, which means we have much more clarity about plot-branching issues and how to fix them, and the ability to create story-driven mods that depend on official choices you make in the core game.

But the bottom line is: The reason we are even able to release mods today for Legendary Edition is because the toolset developers worked directly with BioWare to know how the game works under the hood. If BioWare hadn't done that, there wouldn't even be a sprawling mod community for Legendary Edition in 2021."

Edit: if I tagged you it isn't that I consider you of any wrongdoing, it is just that I suspect you wanted to read this and discuss it. Bioware can claim it makes art and not just products for sale but we have wallets and regardless of our salaries they aren't infinite, and we have to be picky on how we spend our money.

This isn't targeting anyone placing them under those disgusting people, it was just to share with all of you of a message I ran into from an apparent third party observer. I am sorry if you though that I was calling the users listed as those but it is not like that, it is just a message that I think fits very well in this thread.

Thanks for what you said at the end, I am not planning on leaving but I am also frustrated how this Legendary Edition turned out and that behavior tells me volumes of what will likely be the reception to DA4 and ME Next, a big mess from a group of proud people who never see themselves at fault and who only listen to the group they like.
As time goes on more players are seeing the bugs in this game and when that goes up well, they will go into turtle mode.

Agree, which is why you write unverified claims (and even verified ones) as: "this person alleges x and that other person says y," it is why I advise against any rash action and recommend simply to gather more information.

Man that is how I feel like sometimes, my head is so full and empty at the same time.

Lord is spot on.

Delusion is believing the same people/culture that led to Biower’s debacles in the past decade or so are going to turn the ship around.

Especially since they don’t even acknowledge the fact that there were debacle(s), much less assign accountability, or, -gasp-, corrective measures.
