    It’s not like Mass Effect was known for it’s story and writing.

        The ending to 3 was a bit of a cop out and generally out of line with the narrative of the game up to that point. Everything proceeding that was fantastic though. Still an 8/10 in my book

          Yup, 3 is amazing until the last 10-15min. So many satisfying conclusions to story threads started in 1 or 2.

            In my opinion this is fixed with MEHEM. But I agree with you, especially the OG ending before the directors cut.

          They hated you because you told them the truth. Haven’t played ME3, pretty much solely because the ending of 2 with the

          was so abysmally stupid.

        Lead writer left after 2 and his replacement was kind of known for not getting along well with his predecessor. So its still not clear if he intentionally made changes to the plan that had been put in place or if he just never actually read the design doc that had been left for consistency.

        They canned the writers from 1 and 2 and promoted this goober who said that “Twilight was good writing” to finish the 3rd game.

        Which is why we go from having Shepard being such a badass the Reapers tried to make a reaper version of humans, to all of a sudden being all PTSD about shit.

          That’s the worst writing change you can think of? That Shepard is finally showing signs of indoctrination PTSD?

          There’s so much more to the 3rd game’s narrative that they messed up, PTSD isn’t even on the map.

            I didn’t say it was the worst writing change I can think of?

              True, I’m just shocked you’d use that as the comparison to why 3 was bad lol
