Mass Effect 3

[Psychosplodge]

There's too much female arse in the game anyway what with Miranda and the like, why not balance it out with Brosheps buns of steel?

That's upto you, I don't belive such a thing exists...

Well the whole romance thing really decided the sex of Shepard for me, I just couldn't bring myself to chat up one of the fellas on the Normandy.

If I had the choice of race, Well Krogan it would have to be. I love those bad *** turtle dudes.

Having another crack at the game. Going to get a better ending and I have downloaded the extended ending.

Neither could I but I still played fem shep, and you can still chase the ladies
It is a shame you have to play as a human...but it makes it easier to have just the one campaign...

I don't care, Mark Meer is an awesome guy!

He's the kind of guy that I could share a pint with.

I like Mark Meer, but I prefer Hales ME voice work.

I'll see your Mark Meer offering to bang and raise with Ali Hillis and Jennifer Hale flirting:

Meh.

Have you downloaded any of the DLC? The Extended Cut Ending makes it a lot easier to get a "good" ending, though there is no way to avoid Shepard dieing - unless you get the "good" ending and pick the red option.

I just spent three games playing a Paragon, I'm not about to sacrifice the geth to save myself.
Besides, it's time Harbinger learned the true meaning of ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.

What, not even Garrus?
And I thought I was heavily repressed.

Well you're not just sacrificing the Geth to save yourself, you're sacrificing them to save that cycle and all future cycles. I never found the other two options compelling (as choices, I mean, the writing itself is good), to be honest. Synthesis was grossly immoral, forcibly hybridising all life in the galaxy without permission to satisfy an ancient, lunatic AI or strip Shepard of all her humanity and put her in charge of a race of giant killer AIs, no human should have that kind of power even with their humanity intact.

As FemShep you can romance Liara, Kelly Chambers and Samantha Traynor so that isn't a bad choice really. I always romance Liara...

Lol, I'm not repressed. What ever floats your boat. I like to play RP games and make the same decisions I would if I were in the position Shepard is in this example. Garrus is a fantastic friend in the game but I'm it about to shag him.

I personally found Liara lacking personality in the games, plus Tali's mystique was too alluring not to romance her. To be honest I just wanted the achievement really.

The more I think about the extended ending, which I have now seen. I think Bioware should have left it alone. However if anyone has thoughts on the "Stargazer" please share them.

I disagree with you on the ending though EG, basically my thoughts are if you go red or blue endings the Reapers kind of get what they wanted. The galaxy taking a big step backwards with all the spacefaring civilisations having to cope without the relays. The Symbiotic ending at least allowed the galaxy to continue to evolve in a positive direction. I dont mind the idea of all biological and symbiotic life merging. But then I do play Necrons

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Deadlift! Does this mean that we can kill noobs together now?

I liked Liara's shyness, same goes for Tali.

Garrus is my bro! Never shag a bro!

[eldargal]

Pfft, Liara has all the personality.

Well the issue I have with Synthesis is that Shepard has spent years (and died) to give synthetics and organics both the ability to choose their own path, yet then she can choose to just forcibly hybridise every lifeform in the galaxy with no choice offered. I understand the circumstances didn't exactly lend themselves to a galactic referendum, I thought it was a good option just not one I could take personally. I doget quite annoyed about people who talk about how the endings don't reflect the themes of Mass Effect, particularly synthesis. Saren talked about a harmonious joininf of synthetics and organics in Mass Effect 1 (on Virmire) for gods sake... But I do see this one as the Reapers winning, succeeding in rewriting all life to match their conception of the univers.
Control I just see as being a temporary solution. Shepard gets turned into an AI and plugged into the Reapers and completely divorced from her friends, Liara (:P) galactic society in general and we expect her to maintain her sanity for how long in those circumstances? Nope, don't trust that either.
Destroy, on the other hand, rids the galaxy of the threat of the Reapers forever, not just (potentially) temporarily. It isn't perfect, though, as you have to sacrifice the Geth (and EDI) to do it. But given that the Geth have possibly alreayd been killed by the Quarians OR signed on to an all or nothing attack on the Reapers I figure it is like sending soldiers to their deaths and somewhat more morally acceptable.

But this all highlights one reason why I love the ME3 endings, none of them are perfect, happy endings and each is radically different with considerable ramifications if people would just bother to think about it and pay attention while playing the series. Sadly most people don't think or pay attention, hence the ending nerdrage.

Tl;dr.
