So by the sounds of it, there will be an inevitable ugly encounter with Ashley at some point, but I'll have the option to talk her down and keep her on my side much like I did with Wrex in the first game.
I can live with that(I'm still just hoping she can remain a LI truthfully and I notice there isn't really much of a mention of any of the characters in that context), and even though it will result in a revisiting of a 'lol dur I killed ***** lol dur' from the youtube community, as long as I get my preffered outcome, I can live with it.

Still to be honest this plot does sound incredibly epic and huge and also a little bit messy and all over the place, which is understandable give how many plots, characters, themes, romances and stuff need to be resolved this time around.
That said I do question some of the authenticity of this, but I guess I'll just have to wait until the game comes out to know for sure.

EDIT: Also according to a Bioware dev on twitter, a lot of the stuff listed there is 'old and outdated' material. Meaning that it was a rough draft, makes sense to me. I see no reason for why literally the entire plot for the game would be accessible four months from launch via just one unfinished beta.

Okay, so now the info dump is out of the way, I've got to mention a few of the "highlights" that Bioware has written in:

Alright, so So Mordin and Legion are dead no matter what. Legion dies off screen. FUCK.

We build a house with Tali on the home world and fuck the Geth....Zionist undertones Bioware... but whatever.

Miranda is currently not in the game apart from a few emails. The butthurt is going to be glorious to read.

Udina and the Council are ALL Indoctrinated. Fuck sake Bioware. Way to just use that for everything.

The Illusive Man is not Indoctrinated. He wants to use Protheon tech to brainwash the Reapers. What a surprise, ammariht guyz?

You MEET a Protheon. Their plan was to appear as GODS before the races and unite them against the Reapers, using their new super weapon. It's an Off/Brainwash button, like with the Geth. Then they were going to rule the Galaxy as Gods. Assholes.

I kinda like that last idea/twist. Apart from the big "Off" button.
Aaaaaand a large bit of my interest in the game was just killed.

Indeed. I always wondered WHY people would leak things in the first place? Since when did waiting become unacceptable? I think in the big picture, patience is a virtue that's been obliterated by modern 'culture', and it manifests in everything from road-rage to customer service to fast food and don't even start on the movie and games industry.

Also, say you leak something to the internet. WHY?!? You don't become internet popular or cool for doing it, and if whoever you work for finds out, then you're in big trouble. I don't understaaaand.

Quick update.

It's all but been confirmed by Bioware as truth. They said exactly the same thing as the Gears of War 3 team said when that leaked.
"It's outdated guys! But don't read it! You'll ruin it! But it's outdated!"

Quick question but:
where are you reading Miranda won't be in the game? She's not mentioned much but this is far from a description of the plot of the entire game.
Still being hopeful at this point!

I don't want to know anyyyyything. Not even more screenshots unless they're actually officially released cos every single piece of information leaked detracts from the game.

Eh, I am really getting sick of Bioware touting "THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO MAKE" in every game, without ever providing a middle option. It's either do this objective or that one, any choices you made in the last game aren't going to hold any effect anyways.

Try to reason with the Quarians vs the Geth in ME2? They still go to war in ME3. Legion says that the Geth don't all work for the Reapers? Not anymore!

Definitely not looking at most of that. I read the Reaper class one, that was it.
Honestly, most of it is stuff that was guessed months back, give or take a few bullshit options and ass pulls that force you into a decision rather than you taking the decision the way YOU would like it to go.

Careful with this thread though guys. Bioware have sent a C+D letter to Neogaf for having a thread discussing it.
C+D ?

Explains why the thread was taken down. Bioware are assholes. How dare we discus their aweful plot.

Im assuming thats what happened on the neogaf site.
