This thread has created some of the best Mass Effect related pics/captions I've seen. I love it! Anyway I suppose it's all been said, and Zeel is gone, which is sad because I wanted to ask his/her proof that the Prothean is not in the game without DLC. My favorite thing I've seen on here is "burden of proof is on the accuser" so Zeel's accusations are groundless without proof that the Prothean is not in the game at all without DLC. Anyway, this has certainly been entertaining.
If you had asked him that question the response would've been along the lines of:Xangba said:
"THE LEAKS! THE LEAKS IN NOVMEMBER MENTIONED A PROTHEAN AND BECAUSE THE DLC HAS A PROTHEAN THAT MEANS THEY REMOVED IT FROM THE GAME BECAUSE I SAID SO! YOU'RE STUPID! ADMIT IT! ADMIT IT!ADMIT IT!ADMIT IT!ADMIT IT!ADMIT IT!ADMIT IT!ADMIT IT!!!!"
Or something like that. Seriously though, many people asked him for his proof and he just kept harping on about that damn plot leak.
At least the mods finally suspended him. I thought they were turning a bit blind for not seeing all the insults he has been throwing for the past couple of days.erttheking said:
He actually used the words admit it in one of his posts. He said, and I quote "admit it admit it admit it admit it."anthony87 said:

Page 22 was the greatest page ever.
God, he wrote about us in his blog, brings tears to my ears. No greater honour.
If it isn't a duet with EternalNothingness I am going to be so disappointed.Daystar Clarion said:
It will be a battle for the ages, so epic in it's scale, that this world and all other possible worlds will be torn asunder, the very fabric of time itself will collapse, and all shall reside in a dark oblivion.Richardplex said:
Ohh man, ive been reading Zeel's blog
He has gotten banned from like 8 different Ragnarok Online private Server's forums and he doesn't seem to get why calling the GM of the forums a
should get him banned.

Why are people still raging about this? I am more upset about Bioware's announcement about the Arrival- like DLC that would let you meet a friendly Reaper that would join your cause. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&ob=av3e] That breaks the lore so badly... Bioware's really going too far.
I just wish that Dragon Age 3 will be decent.

I'm afraid I don't know him. The religion and politics threads I imagine to be this thread all the time, only with less ME subbed pictures that make me laugh. Probably a wrong opinion, but I stay the hell away from there.D Moness said:
I assume we shall be part of the battle, all badly dressed as batman, Gotham City Imposters style?Daystar Clarion said:
Pfft, my outfit is the real deal, my mum made it especially for just such an occasion.Richardplex said:
I guess you didn't see my previous post and don't know exactly where I stand on these whole thing. Don't blame you really - this thread is more than a thousand posts deep...
But let me try to clarify a few things, with the risk of repeating myself:
If EA is trying to be nice they are very bad at it. The gameplay content shouldn?t be part of the collector?s edition. I said it before: CE is about collectibles (keychains, fluffy armor, etc), not gameplay. Putting gameplay in the CE is great to promote it and terrible to build good will with costumers.
I do not think I deserve the DLC content for free. It is their game and EA can do whatever they want with it. The sex analogy wasn?t judgmental but YOU seem to think that anyone who goes for sex on the first day is a slut, I did not suggest such thing: there are people that go for it and there are people that do not ? the point is that, whichever the case, it is still sex, meaning: EA is still after your money with DLC, in this case they tried to sell it to us earlier than they used to ? some were ok with it, some don?t. If enough people are OK with it they will probably try to push it a little harder in the future (you gotta love sex analogies).
There is such a thing as a social contract in every economic relationship. There are a lot of things that consumers expect both explicitly and implicitly every time we reach for our wallets. That?s the reason why that same content offered in different circumstances wouldn?t start such a ruckus.
Well, maybe this will pay off in terms of money for them, but I really think that a more friendly approach would have been even better, both in short and long term.
In any case, I guess that every fan has the right to be angry about it, post in the forums to their hearts content and not buying the game or the DLC ? change rarely comes from this, but when it does it is very nice.
That said, the discussion with Zeel is a whole different, parallel story, that I?m not interested to be part of.

Some people in the thread are saying that the DLC story is good, not me. The thread is about Bioware justifying the From Ashes DLC. I don?t know if the content is good or bad as I haven?t seen it.Zachary Amaranth said:
It sure is. It is completely subjective and a matter of opinion. That?s the reason some people are pissed about it and some don?t. But when the content is about gameplay (good or bad), it does not take a master degree in psychology to foresee that some people will be upset about it.Zachary Amaranth said:
The reason you can buy it is for EA to make money. If they were worried that I didn?t lose content, they would release it for free. I know ?it costs money to develop?, but Zaheed also cost money and the extended edition of The Witcher 2 also costs money, both were free.Zachary Amaranth said:

I never questioned the decision to make it available for the public since the CE is sold out. I questioned the decision to put it on the CE to begin with. Not because I think I?m entitled to anything, mind you, but because I think it is just cash grab and they could be smarter about this. Look at this thread and all the irrational arguments been thrown willy nilly, look at all the pre-orders cancelled talk (even if they are not real). EA was coming from a bad situation with the whole Dragon Age 2 thing, do you really thing the smarter thing to do is go to the easy cash strategy?Zachary Amaranth said:
