Mass Effect 3 - Plot Details Mined

[BIOM01]

Alrighty, here are my two freshly-registered cents:

If everything I've heard is true, then I think I'll enjoy the game quite a bit. Granted, I'll be able to predict it a bit better, but oh well. However, the problem I have with the spoilers is that they are incomplete. Yeah, we can see that A will almost definitely happen and that B does this, but those can be consequences of your choices, and my not be guaranteed to happen. And I think with the size of script that was released, it'd be really difficult to determine the whole story. And as a quick reflective comment, did we learn to love Garrus by little snippets from a script? No, we love him because he's a bad ass who we all like. Or even Wrex and his constant one liners. We don't experience the characters or the settings or the plot from the script released, but from the actual game, and that's what it's all about for me. Well, that and shooting stuff. The beauty of any story is in the details, and these spoilers offer none.

I'm still ordering the collectors edition and I'm still going to play the game in all of its glory, spoiled or not. I'll still enjoy making all of my decisions for the first time, and I'll still enjoy seeing A happen or B blow up (no, this is not a spoiler). Criticize BioWare when the game comes out, not when a stupid MS employee clicks "send" and causes all this hoopla.

all i can say is, given the nature of the internet, all those so called spoilers are unsubstansiated bullshit until proven otherwise

Since when did waiting become unacceptable?

When pre-order exclusive dlc was invented to punish those lazy fuckers who force stores to waste shelf space by not buying the game on time. You reap what you sow.

Might as well play a JRPG for all these CHOICES.

The overarching plot of the 3 games is Act 2 you work for someone Act 3 they betray you which has become the most hackneyed narrative structure for videogames.

Wait, is this the NEW story they've done after massive fan hatred of "Hamburger Hepler"? Cause otherwise the story has already been spoiled in it's entirety.

As this got bumped up again, I figure I'll post this new tid-bit in here.

Voice work for the new Protheon Squadmate. (No idea how to imbed the video, I always forget)

I can't tell if that is African or Jamaican... Help? Either way I have seen some leaked quotes on what he says, and they are funny.

Also...

Spoiler

I heard about this thing called a crucifex, what is that?

His quotes were the highlight of the leaked script in my opinion.
It's a shame he might be DLC.

And about your question...

Spoiler

It's some super weapon from the last cycle. You need to bring it to the Citadel and it acts as a big Reaper "off" button. You have two options at the end, and a third if you picked a certain choice earlier on.

Double Post-Sorry.

Look at Fenris in DA2. Unnaturally skinny, white hair, over sized sword to compensate for something,brooding 24/7. This is not, sadly, the first time Bioware's putting JRPGs in their WRPGs.

Anyway, thanks for putting this up TC.

Wow, that was..... actually better as an ending than the one we got, also pissed off the Prothean was reduced to DLC, in an earlier script he WAS the Catalyst, and popped up as a squadmate at the end kind of like Legion did in ME2.
