So I recently bought the entire Mass Effect trilogy and all the DLC for my beast gaming computer. Also downloaded some texture mods to make the games look fantastic. I never actually played the whole trilogy before (only 1&2, and ME3 released while I was in the military), so this was to be my magnum opus, my "real" Shepard.
And then I come across this fucking Samara glitch I'd never heard of and now I'm doubting if it's even worth it to keep playing.
Basically, if you don't recruit Samara before doing the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, she becomes locked out, with no way to recruit her. Which I did. And apparently this hasn't been fixed. Like ever. While searching for answers, I saw someone comment "I'm at the end of the game and I can't finish without Samara". Now I dread what that means. That, in essence, the game becomes uncompletable? That there's some vital part that asks specifically for Samara?
I'm not that mad about losing Samara, I never found her that interesting as a character, but
Do you guys know if I need to start over? I'm 18 hours in, and the only save I have prior to doing the Shadow Broker is 3 hours in. Do I need to redo 15 hours of gameplay because some twat at Bioware fucked up and hasn't owned up to their mistake? If so, I'll have a very sternly worded email going their way soon...

holy fucking shit is this some fucking cuntfuckery from Bioware. How in the fuck has this flow under our radars? That a company with the pedigree of Bioware fucks up this badly, and just leaves it unfixed. Fuck. This. Shit. How in God's name am I supposed to trust a company that allows this to happen, especially in a game that's perhaps to this day their most regarded and awarded work?
