Here's another one regarding Marauder Shields and it brings back an old friend

Oh god the Marauder Shields stuff is killing me.

Man, the inhabitants of Gaf loved Mass Effect so much that it got another spoilers thread.

Why Bioware? Why would you do this to us?

Nope, they're still gathering feedback.

Like they have been about Dragon Age 2.

For a year now.

I'm sure they are going to string along with the "we are listening" stuff, wait till PAX East then release some big reveal about how they are going to give us an epic conclusion yada yada yada and look like the heroes again.

Or just try to overshadow it with DA3 news.

Who knows.

If they want to gather feedback, they just need to go to the old spoiler thread here, go to the SA forums spoiler thread, or better yet, the BSN forums. Hell, they should've been gathering feedback since Speculatin' Thursday (I don't have better name for it.)

Fuck it. I'd take it. I'll take just about anything that adds to the end.

But, we know the DLC is going to be set before the end. So that you can run around and do more pointless shit that doesn't matter.

They are in a pickle on that, now that you bring it up. I'm sure PAX East is where they're going to announce DA3, so where does that leave ME3? I'm sure they don't want to upstage their sister series, but they'll have to say SOMETHING.

Or just send out their community managers to be eaten alive by the fans.

PAX:
-Plant audience members to ask positive questions
-Announce DA3 and ME3 Omega DLC
-Deflect criticism of the ending
-Increase the merger of awesome, speculation, and buttons ten fold
-Leave with dignity in tact

Sad thing is I could see Bioware doing all of this.

If I could make it to PAX I would love to drill them about the ending.

This is plausible and makes more sense than ME3's ending.

I'm going to PAX, but I'm not sure I want to sacrifice most of my Friday going to those two panels. But I'm really tempted to try.

I bet the Omega DLC (if it's even real) sells like shit. Casual players not huge fans of the series have likely already moved on, and with the amount of "more passionate fans" or whatever the hell they called, completely pissed off about the ending, I can see a lot of people passing on DLC that takes place before the ending.

Kind of like how no one bought the DA2 DLC and now they are "shifting focus"

"Glad you asked! We're proud that our true fans understood the story we wanted to tell couldn't be finished in typical ways. We've innovated and shifted the ideals of what constitutes an ending, and we're glad to have fans, such as yourself John, that are on board with our new way of thinking. Thank you!

Now, let's talk about Omega."

This is going to be my first PAX, and I'm wondering how long before the panel starts to people start lining up for it? I really want to go to the DA and ME panels.

I hope you do. At least I can have the comfort of knowing at least one person there wasn't planted by Bioware.

For these? At least an hour, unless they're in the main ballroom. That thing is HUGE.

Please for the love of God, go to them wearing a Marauder Shields t-shirt.

Haha, not a bad idea. That would be pretty cool. I'll see if I can get one done. What image should I use that would best illustrate the awesomeness of Marauder Shields?

The Obama knock off one that somebody has as an avatar now.

Edit: Yup that one. Also somebody needs to cosplay as the endings in those one piece greenman suits.

It's nice to see we've all moved beyond anger, and have settled into the more comfortable "mocking the ever living shit out of the ending and it's paid defenders" stage.

Yes. Based on the flowchart for how ME2 calculated your decisions and their consequences.
