Yeah, according to choice you were given, the relays weren't meant to be destroyed in the control or synthesis endings.  So i take it they weren't destroyed irrespective of what the lazy pre rendered 3 colour cutscene showed.  Besides, even if the relays are broken you can still communicate through the bad science fiction of quantum entanglement and presumably fix them.  But I'm trying hard here not to fall into the denial trap and start creating desperate fan fiction to try to rationalise what wasn't very good science fiction in the first place.

In my game I died in the believe that everything I did up to that moment was in line with my paragon character.  After that point, there's no more role-play, you're dead. 

I think I would just mod the save game if i were you.  I really didn't enjoy all that planet scanning and exploration "content" crap they had in the 1st 2 games.  UGH.

Re saving Rachni Queen, there's no other benefit other than Rachni being really useful in the construction of the crucible.

Yeah, I miss the engine rendered cutscenes from ME1. I can't imagine how good the cutscenes would have looked rendered in game versus using some grainy Star Wars looking footage. They would have been clearer as well.

I believe the quantum entanglement technology is still in its infancy at that point in ME3. In ME2, the Normandy was one of the the only ships equipped. Not to say the colonies/cities are like ships but its something to think about.

The indoctrination theory kinda gives my imagination room to maneuver tongue.gif I have heart they will do something about the endings. The neverending shitstorm (Udina's words in ME2 ring true. 'Do the words political SHITSTORM mean anything to you Commander?') is starting to get featured on CNN and other major news hubs.

Heh true too... I couldn't stand Mako exploring in ME1, couldn't stand endless scanning in ME2 (managed to avoid it for the most part) and fetch quests in ME3 (although it can be argued ME2 is one very good and very big fetch quest).

Sigh Rachni Queen is one of those 'OH SHIT' decisions. Save her and let her go and she kills Aralakh Company. Kill her and her successor goes batshit crazy if you leave her there. Release her and she turns on you and Aralakh. Really no 'good' ending to that tale.

Actually, I did get the good ending for Rachni queen. I didn't kill her in the first one because she promised she would leave forever. She gets captured by the reapers which means I have to save her sorry ass. The good ending is that while aralakh company does die while holding off the modified rachni, Grunt who leads aralakh company doesnt. You meet him again at the end of the game. Also, I get aralakh company as a war asset even if that team died. The Rachni Queen becomes a war asset in the completion of the crucible, to get vengeance on the reapers. Everyone wins.

Yeah QE phones are rare in ME2 but apparently everyone has one now. It's hilarious at the end when you go into that room with the communicator and you're able to pretty much speak with everyone you've ever met.

Guys. If this is true, I suggest you don't even bother buying this. Why reward Bioware for shipping a game without an ending?

What? Aralakh company as an asset after they're decimated? Damn Grunt nearly gave me a heart attack. I was so sure he was a goner! Then he comes up all bloodied and a 'big goddamn hero' to use Zaeed's words.

Yes the ending with the communicator was too convenient. I suppose its easier than trying to explain how they all ended up on Earth just to talk to Shepard.

My solution to this problem is easy, as new solutions are needed in this scenario: Dont buy anymore EA games. They arent getting a cent from me, unless they have done something "really" right to me to the point i'll ignore all the shit they have done. Mass Effect 3 has crossed the line way too far.

Just dont get me started with the long list of crap they have been doing.

Seriously, EA, go screw yourself.

If you read BSN, some stupid idiots are defending EA for charging for the DLC. My ass. So what they need money to fix this mess? It's their mess and they should be fixing it with their own money.

EA seems to have a great talent at destroying franchises.

Before long, Mass Effect will become a browser game like C&C. sweat.gif
