Poll: The villian of the Citadel DLC....WHAT!? (SPOILERS)

[Erttheking]

I have not played the Citadel DLC so I cannot comment on the quality of the character development but I just learned who the main villain is and...I'm worried you'll think I'm lying, because IMHO this was a really dumb idea. The villain is...an evil clone of Shepard who was created to act as backup parts in the project that brought Shepard back to life...SERIOUSLY!

Ok...maybe I'm in the wrong mindset, maybe I'm the only one who thinks this. Please vote on my poll and let me know if I'm in the majority or the minority here on this idea.

...what?
FUCKING WHAT

Oh my christ that's hilarious. Jesus. I knew people say Bioware has been going down the shitter recently but... damn. Please someone prove me wrong.

EDIT:Oh god it's true. Oh jesus. Oh god.

whatthefuckhaveIdonetodeservesuchapunishment?

Seriously... What?
Why does this exist? WHY????????????????????

 

[PsychicTaco115]

Alright, who let the fan-fiction authors make DLC?

EA, was it you? I think it was you...

OT: Uh... Yeah, that's pretty silly, even for a sci-fi game

 

[Erttheking]

That sounds absolutely hilarious and I must play it to find out how absurd that is.

Is it like an parallel opposite to my Shepard? Will it be a Paragon Shepard if I'm Renegade? Because THAT would be amazing.

Don't get too excited. He's an evil asshole either way.

Does he have the same face? Or do they cheap out and have some modification on the default face?

Sorry for prying, but it seems like you know what you're talking about.

Actually beyond that I don't know much. I can't find any pictures or videos of the guy. I just found a bit of a plot description. I do know the clone has the same voice actors though.

Darn.
Well, there's a Let's Player I know who gets up to date on this stuff fairly quickly. Should be able to see it then, just to see how... ridiculous it is.

 

[Starke]

Oh god, if that's actually true, it's probably the most unintentionally hilarious thing in the series. I need to see this.

 

[Xukog]

...What. WHAT! Seriously? I...I don't even.... Why Bioware? Why must you do this crap...

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

Haha, fucking really? Wow, that's god-damn awful and embarrassing shit right there. That's coming from someone who didn't mind the ending too. I like forward seeing the further backlash this generates, it's always a laugh.

 

[Kurt Cristal]

Speaking has someone who's played it, it's probably intentionally hilarious. And it was. The campiness was ramped up to 11, the humor was over 9000, this DLC by all means is a break from the po-faced demeanor of the game and a chance to make you smile. It's as if Joss Whedon wrote it or something, every other line of dialogue in it is begging for a wink at the camera. Trust me, it's A+ material.

I'm gonna go with this. I have no intention of getting the DLC, but to do something that cliche and campy, then either:

A) Bioware's writing team has devolved into shitty fanfic writers.

B). It's supposed to be funny.

Bioware's had a marginally rough streak lately in their writing, but there is no way in hell that they would do something this ridiculous if it wasn't supposed to be humorous.

I looked up the final fight. Clone has the same face and same class as your Shep.

Here, have a video Quality sucks but its the only one I could find without commentary

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Am I the only one reminded of this?

 

[Starke]

A) Bioware's writing team has devolved into shitty fanfic writers.

Based on the Mass Effect novels, they started out as shitty fanfic writers.

 

[Sassafrass]

Oh god, yes.
To steal a joke from someone on Twitter, does s/he have a mustache they twirl around their finger while cackling manically? XD

 

[Yassen]

I've played through it. Trust me, they are not taking it seriously. Every other line is campy gold, even have a moment where the clone leaves and says "I should go" with such emphasis you know the writers are taking the piss. Citadel is just FUN. Lighthearted, campy FUN which after some really depressing moments in the story it really sorely needed. However it kind of makes more sense to imagine it as a post ending celebration but don't think too much about it. Just buy it and enjoy the (intentional) campy hilarity.

 

[Eddie the head]

Well yeah, it's dumb but clones have been the series since the first one. So it's hardly braking any lore or anything.
