There you go people.
I don't have real issues with those endings. I just don't think they fit what devs proposed, and by that, they failed hard. And what are these mods you are talking about?
the mods were MEEM, and MEHEM... or the Mass Effect Ending Mod, and the Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod.
i prefer MEHEM because if you put in enough work Shepard should have a good ending, imho.
as to the original endings, they lacked the typical quality i have (or had) come to expect from bioware, and to top it off... they just didn't fit, with either me3, or the entire series, but they weren't as bad as people claimed, they just weren't anywhere near as good as the dev team claimed.

You mean nothing new in the last business day or so since they talked over the MP updates and where they got their data for the next path?
What these mods actually did?
And this one looks like a fun character creator.

it's far easier to show you, as opposed to write a few text-walls

i guess i could add, MEEM alters the whole catalyst ending dialogue so it's a lot less absurd. where as MEHEM removes the scene entirely, and you either get a Fail ending, or a modified high ems destroy ending where edi, & the geth survive (assuming the geth weren't killed off in the quarian questline), iirc they also get new custom made ending slides.

I meant it more generally.
Yes, there was some info about the multiplayer part, but nothing substantial about the many problems in the singleplayer.
The list of known problems has not been updated for a long time.
This would, for example, already make a difference.
But more than we work on it, is not.
I find it impossible, that no compressed information came back to us.
It probably runs according to scheme: "A snippet here and there on Twitter or on Reddit etc."
Is this the forum of the publisher who brought the game out or not?
Bioware has no own forum anymore or am I wrong?
These are many small things, which excite me up.
And I like to gamble the game, but I have the guess that fans of the MassEffect series are more concerned about this than the developer / publisher.
Sry that was slightly longer than planned.

I dunno. The MEEM ending completely bypasses and goes against the Leviathan dlc, which actually explains the whole background. From my perspective that dlc should've been a part of the game and a required mission before going to the point of no return. I was satisfied with the explanation in Leviathan and had no trouble with the ending of the game after seeing that.
The MEHEM, well, yeah I suppose that's what a lot of people would've liked to've seen but it's kind of a run of the mill, standard ending.
i actually contend the sacrifice the protagonist for extra cheap drama ending has eclipsed it as standard, at least these days.
---edit
after watching a vid by total biscuit, i decided i'd stop purchasing dlc that should have been included in their game to begin with, but were pulled for reasons revolving around greed.

Not sure what you mean. I was refering to the MEHEM ending there and Shepard is still alive at the end there.
i was saying once upon a time it used to be fairly standard for the game to handout a happy ending if you put the work into it... then dev teams started killing off their protagonists for a bit of extra drama, and that has become the new norm. that's all

ME3 and MEA are different in this regards. Shepherd almost certainly dies permanently, with only a small clue he might have survived by his name being omitted from the wall of fallen. Ryder brushes (oh so very close) with death, but they are alive and well after their brush. Ryder's 'near death' is to show how close to death they came, while Shepherd's is the end of the story.

Ahh I see what you mean. Yeah, BW has definitely gotten on that train and went beyond it, by killing their protagonist and ressurrecting them. Poor Ryder already died a few times in one game. So where do you go from there?
Actually, I'm afraid to even try to answer that question. I just want them to go back to good story telling instead of all this gimmicky stuff.
i wasn't talking about andromeda specifically, just the industry in general.
---edit
however, i feel my point still stands.

Yeah, I got that. That's why I said that BW got on that train (just like everybody else) and took it a notch further by killing em and ressurrecting them again...and again.
Looks like the next patch will come tomorrow.

Who's looking forward to more vague single player notes? I know I am. For those that don't want to convert the timezone, it's 12 pm eastern, 9 am pacific.
Whew, finally. Tomorrow I'll be able to tell if I'll keep following MEA or not then.

Just another way to maintain the 60 USD ceiling for the base game and release more content for more $$. It is kinda a hokey way to do it *BUT* we got an awful lot of content for 60 this time around as base. It is a shame they didn't use more of that content to close some plotlines, but, it is what it is.
You'd of missed Javik completely, and, that would of been a shame... not counting Citadel even.
At least you can always watch Youtube videos.
It's too bad they took so long to roll it out that I have completely and utterly lost interest in playing the game at all, and have already moved on to other things. 😛
The extra cosmetics that they were supposed to release this month for those with the deluxe edition will be coming with the patch tomorrow - https://twitter.com/GambleMike/status/862151940356100097

So you mean it fixes it for people that were not able to be awarded?

That is a separate issue. This is about new items that were set to be released this month.

i actually purchased the ashes dlc before watching the vid, so i do know the bada**ness of javik.
---edit
when you look at it logically, javik is kind of a must... why you ask? because without him your team lacks a vanguard, unless shepard happens to be one.

Well, I feel Leviathan should've been included because it's essential to understanding the game overall and in particular the ending of ME3. Beyond that though I have no problem spending money on dlc if the game is good enough and the dlc interesting enough.
If greed is your concern, I'd suggest being consistent and just stop buying anything that has EA written on it. Greed led to these poor character animations as it is.
There is more than greed though...Faces were changed at the last minute with the release patch. Particularly FemRyder got the worst of that...it wasn't poor design, it was a choice to ugly them up because they looked much better from what I've seen on the web. Here's an example:
That makes me angrier than a company wanting to cash in with some dlc. Oh and if you want to see real greed then check out the cash shop in SWTOR. Holy *, do they rip you off there.

I'd say it's too bad it was even released in that state. I wonder how much they could fix in 2 months for years of work on the game. 🕒 We shall see...hehe
I mean what happened in Bioware??? This is just odd... it's like they don't have an Art Director, Supervisors, Screen Director with a keen eye on the game experience, looks, etc.
We as players are capable of noticing artistic, appearance, tech flaws... and they don't? Just odd. It's like Andromeda was their first game on the market... lol
