How best to ruin Mass Effect 3

[boag]

My ideas:
-Tali is genetically male with gender dysphoria and is living a lie with the female suit and fake female voice. This is revealed and he becomes Shepard's same sex romance option.
-The Reapers true motivations are benevolent and they want to transport humans to a land of eternal pleasure or something like that.

There are groups of people that would find your first suggestion arousing.

Your second suggestion would be a shitty twist but nothing to rage about, although it might start some slashfics about Shepard doing the mile long run over a Repears hulls.



Lets see, if you really want to shit things up, in the climatic final battle, just when the finishing blow is about to land on the Final Boss, Cut immediatly to black, put a 10 minute loading screen and then put in big flashing words "TO BE CONCLUDED IN MASS EFFECT 4"

The whole game is a QTE with only one ending. Also if you mess up a single button (some of which are ridiculously cheap) you die and have to start the level over. The dialogue is also handled via QTE, meaning if you mess up Shepherd fumbles his words or punches his love interest in the face. Oh and all of the voice actors have been fired and replaced by Nolan North.

Or even worse, every character has 10 different voice actors with no similarity between the voices.

*Opening shot of Normandy crashing into a planet (cutting inside to show each characters horrible demise) as Shepard watches from the mako on the surface of the planet. Picture fades out*
Shepard suddenly wakes up in a cold sweat "Just a dream"
'Objective: Search Normandy wreckage'
*Half an hour of 'Desert bus' style gameplay.*

Land on Earth. Turns out to be a false alarm. All the aliens died from Earth's atmosphere. Everyone has tea with top hats and monocles...

Actually, that'd be badass. I'd buy a 360 for that

People like me, for example

Everyone is turned into a form of the Nyan Cat. And every voice actor is the same, but the entire script is "Nyan".

 

[windlenot]

Commander Shepard is voiced by whoever voiced Duke Nuke'm. ... And it was written by the same writers of Forever. I dunno, I thought it'd be cool in a sadistic way...

 

[Azex]

Im a huge Tali fan and i want to see her face...but i gotta say your example of how to screw her character up is really cool idea. If they did that she would be the most complex character in gaming history!

 

[CleverCover]

Turn it into one huge planet scanning game.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

If the standard armor for female characters remains armored binkinis, spandex and high heel boots and the camera does that same thing of zooming in on the T&A every twenty seconds whenever they are on screen, that's a deal breaker ladies!

If the game is watered down to the point where it's just a third person shooter with occassional moments of dialogue, that's a deal breaker ladies!

If all the characters great and well established personalities have been cut down into stereotypes or re written to make for more 'mainstream appeal'... dealbreaker.

If they have a huge multiplayer focus, dealbreaker.

Does he get to do different voices for each character (I never even realized he was the voices of certain characters in certain games until someone mentioned it was him and I double checked the credits), or is it a Mafia II type thing where it's always his normal voice [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpRkT9JxdnE]?

It'd have to be the latter for it to work as a game ruiner, because he could probably pull off the former.

 

[Azex]

on topic tho...make it so you have to use kinect to give verbal commands to people you are talking too and squad...but make it so its so iff the only way to get it right is by doing perfect elcor impersonations

I'd make a whole new Shepard for that.

"Shephard, we just found some vital information about the Reapers...

They're all... your FATHERS!!!"

He's just allowed the one voice for everyone... Including the girls.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Oh please. Just releasing the game will be enough to ruin it for a lot of people.
"It's not RPG-ish enough now!"
"It's too RPG-ish, make it like ME2!"

"Waah, I wanted to see Tali's face!"
"WTF Bioware? Tali doesn't look like that! She has tentacles for a mouth!"

Y'know, the usual internet spout of hatred for anything anyone's ever heard of, especially if it has hype.
