    Nevermind... just realised how astoundingly idiotic my comment was.

    How the hell do you know when you're being flirted with?

    I'm not referring to blatant hitting (eg. "nice legs, what time do they open?"), but to the subtler clues that occur on a more regular basis. Vocalisation, language, stance, gestures, facial expressions, nervous tics, etc. I'm evidently missing some key factor that's obvious to almost...

    We have a pandemic on our hands...

    If you want to keep something alive, just post and give it a shot. People shouldn't mind that much unless it's self-promotion. PS: They last a pretty long time to my knowledge.

    What is your ULTIMATE TV snack?

    A massive stainless steel bowl of rice and tuna.

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    The link doesn't work. Bioware employee of the month right here. It seemed like they were doing fine... right up to the last fifteen minutes. That's really the only part of ME3 where they totally failed. But if he was already a sleeper agent thanks to TIM and Cerberus, then why would he...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    Well it succeeds. Even if it's never officially confirmed or denied. Seems a bit pessimistic. That said, I won't be pre-ordering a Bioware game again... Link? From everything I've seen, they specifically declined to either confirm or deny IT ("speculation for everyone", remember?).

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    It's true that we don't have closure within ME3... but like you said it's possible that said closure will be provided by the upcoming game. Or maybe even a later game in the franchise. Although you're right to be sceptical I guess. PS: We don't know exactly what Shepard's condition actually...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    Not if it's followed up though. And I think the trope would fit in tactfully. :) No more so than ME3 was a retreading of ME1 or ME2. Even the example I gave in the OP would play out drastically different. The outrage to ME3's ending (including the EC) was unprecedented. This would be a...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    Not true, the third video in the OP was actually created specifically for the EC. I've already answered this. Please stop repeating the same questions over and over again. 1. Shepard is still incapacitated following the indoctrination attempt, regardless of whether he 'passed' or 'failed'...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    That's not true. Several actual Reapers (alive and dormant), Object Rho, various artifacts, countless Reaperfied or indoctrinated enemy troops... hell, potentially even the Reaper IFF aboard the Normandy (James mentions a humming sound, remember?). Doesn't really matter anyway, that was just a...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    He's been exposed to all manner of Reaper forces and items over the years, it's very possible he even has Reaper tech implanted inside him by TIM (who did the same thing to himself and all his troops during ME3). That's true. But there are also lots of little hints that take place during those...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    If IT is true, then the Reapers still haven't been beaten and there's still an epilogue that still needs to be told. They may not need to abandon the overarching Reaper plot at all. :) They might even combine the two concepts you mentioned. Put players in command of a mixed-species commando...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    A strange combination of denial and optimism I think. P But that's what IT is actually about. What is seen and experienced in the game? There are multiple ways of looking at those same events, one of which is indoctrination. Another is more literal, taking things at face value. Both are...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    I'm sure that no matter what direction they take the series, they'll still try to shoehorn in a few fan favourites. But you're probably right. I miss Firefly. C'mon, that's a bit of a stretch... 1. EC doesn't do that, and Bioware have specifically said they want to leave the end open to...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    I'm just a slow writer who gets distracted easily... We don't know any of that. Why do people assume though that IT automatically rules out an epilogue? Shepard isn't necessarily in a critical condition (in fact, his immense willpower suggests otherwise). He isn't necessarily alone. And...
