    This is probably what Walters envisioned (and most likely wrote) for the ending of ME3, but the EA overlords said they couldn't put this into the game because of the obvious Adult rating the game would receive, thus hurting sales.

    Masterfully skilled Biodevs masqueraded Walters' superb ending with subtle storytelling and cinematics, emotionally scarring you forever and causing irreversible brain damage to anyone that attempted to make any sense out of ME3's ending.

    Yes, because our minds aren't broken, unlike those of the Bioware writing staff.

    Only a crazy person can find this shit logical and reasonable.

    This isn't a children's story like WH40K. In the grim darkness of Mass Effect's future there is only extreme war.

    The attempt to attribute some higher meaning to genuinely random shit is a common human weakness. Trying to make heads and tails of what BW were thinking of is equally pointless because, despite their moaning to the contrary, they really can not into hard sci-fi. This shit in ME wasn't hard sci-fi to start with and it's been getting softer and softer with each iteration. From what I've been able to gather about ME3, it's gotten so soft that you could spread it on toast with a plastic airplane knife. I mean: dreams of a kid in the forest? Really? The only way that could get any worse is if, in the dream sequences, the Shepard model would be replaced with a Pedobear model. Probably the deviant wing of their fan club would welcome that with open arms.

    Maybe that's the legendary Bioware science expert. Remember there is a thin line between genius and insanity.

    Wait.

    What.

    Are you fucking kidding me?

    The Reapers are fucking Final Fantasy villains? Killing all life to stop it from being killed?

    This is what it fucking turned out to be? After all this fucking build-up? This is the best they could come up with?

    And why would you be afraid of the technological singularity? In my opinion, the question isn't whether or not it will happen but when will it happen. If you look into it a bit more, most people afraid of it are the same luddites who are afraid of technology even today, or who attribute ethics and morality to various technologies. That's a fallacy because technology and science have no intrinsic ethics or morals. That's the sole responsability of the user. If an AI will someday evelove past human intelligence levels and using that intelligence, it will determine that humans are shit and they need exterminating, then, instead of panicking now over how we could stop that from happening, how about behaving in such a way that when that AI appears, it won't come to that conclusion, but to the conclusion that humans have a positive influence on the planet/galaxy/universe and they need its support and protection?

    That's a very valid point, but you forget that humans gotta human.

    Overall, it's an interesting thing, BioWare have just decided to make it in a bland, non intellectually-stimulating way. :D

    I'm think this guy is going to become the most hated man in vydia game history when the biodrones play and finish ME3. The Talimancers are going to form a terrorist organization with the sole purpose of killing this man.
