  @cerealsthatkill @DanFriedman81 Woke is why you got to that point. If someone said that they wanted to show you a sleazy underworld bar on the edge of the galaxy, what would you expect to see there? Mass Effect 2 had alien space strippers. So who on Starfield decided that the sleezy space bar would have flabby male dancers in gross spandex onesies with florp hats? Who made this call and how did they get hired? 1. Are you really telling me that’s the best they could do? 2. Why hire someone like that in the first place? 3. Why did no one stop them from making something so lame? This demonstrates that the hiring process was corrupted, and that there was no longer a functioning management system capable or willing to make important creative decisions. Because we see a huge problem in that people were making decisions they shouldn’t have made, and there was no one stopping them from doing it! You cannot simply chalk these things up to some failure of management because these were studios that used to know how to deliver record shattering games.

  My first gut instinct is to agree because yeah. Mass Effect doesn't need a canon ending and it should by all mean respect what the players have done and explore those consequences to their natural conclusions. What the rachni choice should have been is exactly that. If you killed the rachni they shouldn't have showed up at all in ME3. Imagine hearing from a friend who killed the rachni and them saying "I didn't get that mission. Like I saw Grunt and we fought Reapers but the rachni didn't exist in my game. I killed them." And just being struck by how that decision not only makes the renegade choice correct (in a way) but also such a vast difference. An entire enemy type and race just doesn't have influence at all in the game. But that didn't happen. What happened is the rachni game back regardless and the only difference was if you paragon'd you paragon'd again to get war assets. If you renegaded you renegaded again to not loss war assets. Something that does have an effect but its not what the player expects on a bare bones basic or even what they wildly might think. And that is the issue with the ending choices of Mass Effect. The promise such divergent stories that can't simply be crunched into a similar path. There will just be fundamentally different conflicts and issues with each one of them. This video does suggest they just do what Mass Effect has always done but that is accepting a comprise instead of expecting what it should natural be. Not having different assignments to show that "Hey there are differences?" But genuine world differences. Synthesis is described where conflict isn't really a factor anymore. Where everyone knows what its like to be someone else. That story, that exploration of the themes would result in a much less action oriented game and more something like Disco Elysium where the central conversation is about what this life is like. Control is likewise a very different kind of conflict where smaller scale wars could happen. But galactic conflicts just won't exist. Something like a Krogan Civil War is just unlikely to happen with a Shepard controlling the Reapers. Where they could easily stomp down on any major conflict. And not only that but things like diseases, medically issues and similar things would nearly be erased. Maybe there is a story where Shepard becomes a tyrant and rules over organics as an AI god but I don't think many could see their Shepard doing that and I don't think BioWare could see Shepard doing that. Destroy likewise would just be about reconnecting the galaxy together and would be the one most similar to the setting before the Crucible. And all of this isn't even accounting for honoring other player choices. I mentioned it a bit with the Krogan Civil War hinted at in a N7 teaser but there is literally no way a Krogan Civil War can realistically exist in a Synthesis ending or a Control Ending. Not in the way the art depicts. Like I can not accept that if the quarians are dead in one playthrough that BioWare just goes. JK they live and the only difference is a mission. No, it should feel like a real loss. Something was fundamentally changed between a version of them living and a version of them dead. Because that is the promise of importing choices. A major decision was made and you will see how that plays out to its fullest. Not half, not a quarter but seeing it realized. The same feeling you get in a D&D session where a major choice you made comes back and makes you realize it would have been different if you made a different choice. I know for a fact that if BioWare does crunch the endings and the only difference is different side quests, I and other fans would be upset. Because that isn't what I wanted. The solution for BioWare is two fold. The hard path and the easy path. The first is they just buckle down make three games and honor the choices made in each game. Not saying Synthesis should be Disco Elysium but Mass Effect but its the one that makes the most sense in my head. But something that fully explores the ramifications of having this union between synthetics and organics. Same with Control and same with Destory. The second path is just canonize an ending. Its the easiest way because they can focus their efforts on story of the game instead of making a game that is literally about showing the player their choices and making the game before 2040. I think they should also canonize the Genophage, and quarian and geth choices because I know for a fact that if they don't it will be real sad seeing the only differences being less krogan, quarians and geth. And this isn't even considering the fact that the Krogan Civil War just won't happen at the scale shown in the artwork if Wreav is in charge, Eve is dead, and the Genophage isn't cured. Sorry but the krogan would just die out. Because the expectation of that combination of choices would be the krogan's extinction. Its how the games have framed it since the beginning and to alter that would introduce internal inconsistency. I hope this shows why this will be so difficult for BioWare but also why literally no other RPG studio has done it to this scale. What BioWare did with ME1 to 3 and DAO to DAI is astounding. Truly more than what I have seen. Because CDPR fumbled that and gave up with Witcher 3. Small example being Thaler is alive no matter what. And big example is that the dragon state you helped create alongside helping the Scoia'tael in the prior games just does nothing. No mention of it and not even the bare bones of them coming to help Geralt at Kaer Morhen. Obsidian did it fine enough but they just didn't do that with Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed. Larian? What about Larian? Larian has set each of their Divinity games 100s of years apart from each other just so they don't have to address it and on top of that they just are inconsistent. Only caring recently because they made it bigger. And don't even get me started with BG3. I know Wizards has already canonized events but what was with Viconia and Saervok? Just random guys with their names attached. Not even canonized endings just completely different people. Casey Hudson did an interview with Game Informer about this and he is right when he says this has to be planned out. So, many of these companions did these as features because BioWare did it because BioWare controlled what was supposed to be in an RPG. But as that feature waned without BioWare pushing it these other developers slowly removed it. Because its ******* hard to do. Great rewards if done right. A true feeling of your character existing in the world and having an effect long after it happened but a mountainous path it is. Again I want the hard path. BioWare. I'll wait man. Make three games and honor the choices of each of them. But as this video says its also about the money. And there isn't any reality where EA goes "Yeah, we can about 5 years with each release and for each of those games to be very different. Go head."

  @PunlshedGundam @RohanKarMooN I had issues w/ games w/ multiple client-app/DRM's - i.e. Ubi games on Steam (PoP: Forgotten Sands, req. Ubi launcher); EA games on Steam (Mass Effect: Legendary, which req. EA App); & RDR2 on Epic (always req. R* app). Just always boot the 1st-party required launcher first.

  Nothing's set in stone yet on how Saudi management will affect EA but they're more interested in live service and sports titles. I expect Bioware to get sold off. I've seen people speculate Mass Effect and Dragon Age will individually be sold, but I doubt it.

  @Pirat_Nation As someone who has done this, I can tell you why. It's because the games turn to dog ****. Very few games that are single player complete products actually Have 200 hours worth of content. Run the study again, only this time only check reviews on single player games that are complete products, no longer receiving updates like BG3, Witcher 3, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, so on. And the handful that do like BG3, obviously most people overwhelmingly, positively review. The games that do typically get 200 hours or more are either some form of live service or survival game. Which at first is very fun and actually gets you hooked, but then as you play through hundreds of hours you either hit a completely dead end game, or grind or otherwise. Have multiple issues that you have now played the game long enough to start to realize or it's a live service that becomes complete **** long after launch implementing things that no one asked for, that no one wants at best. or at worst goes years without fixing or patching basic bugs, resulting in developers basically neglecting the game. Either way, it results in a negative review, at least for me, because I don't put up with that bullshit. At least not without calling it out.

  @OrikonMods One of the few things stopping me from replaying Mass Effect story after more than a decade of having not played it is the fact that many of the best mods have serious compatibility issues with each other. I want them all, but I can only have some of the mods.

  @Grummz No. Anthem should have never happened as conceived. If it was a single player game with some multiplayer attached on, sure. They wanted live service and it was not built for that. They sacrificed Mass Effect for this game.

  -sticking to any kind of plan. Dark energy, the Cerberus plotline, so many little things were clearly planned and then dropped. You then had the Mass Effect 3 issue where two particular figures wanted the Shepard of ME3 to be their image of Shepard, not the players.

  @ApplefatGov @csaurageul Borrowing the color palette of Gears of War, or cover based shooting mechanics into genres it didn't belong like Mass Effect or even Uncharted (or a dozen other games) caused problems for a long time. But that doesn't say anything about the games where they worked.

  So, it took me a long while to realize Veilguard was just Mass Effect 2 because I was forcing myself to see it in a Dragon Age box. But also I don't think Veilguard really hits that Mass Effect 2 plot set up until the City choice. Before it feels like its live service remnants had it visit every major hub so that the grind could start for it. Only for that to be changed and now they had to change it because they could. And the Mass Effect 2 plot set up works well enough to visit different locations and do it multiple times.

  @PeterP_1985 @jasonschreier I've been seeing poor decisions like this in the industry ever since BioWare attempted live service slop with Anthem. They should've given Anthem to their Montreal studio while the main studio in Edmonton worked on Mass Effect: Andromeda, but they did the reverse and paid for it.
