Tegemist ju eelkõige triloogia lõpuga, Bioware ilmselt teeb selle universumi põhjal veel mänge tulevikus. Ise alles 6 tundi mänginud, aga mulje on jäänud samaks, tegemist on kaugelt parima ME.ga siiani kõigist küljest. Ainus asi mis veidi häirib on need "darkspawnid" me universumis.

Spoiler

What I propose is the following, as an amended canon for Mass Effect 3. What Bioware could have done. Following in the wake of Mass Effect 2, during the course of the war, Dholen goes supernova, exterminating everything in the system. In its wake, an ancient Prothean Device, the Crucible, is found, having waited within the stars core for 50,000 years, coming alive in time for the next cycle, and killing the star from within.

However, the Geth are in possession of that system, leading to a complex diplomatic or military problem over who, if anyone, has the rights to the device. The coalition needs it to stop the Reapers, the Geth have possession of it, and the Quarians are engaged in active hostilities against them. Events here play out much as they would ordinarily, but with raised stakes. No matter what happens, hostilities must cease in order to obtain the Crucible.

Once it is obtained, things progress as before, learning that the Crucible needs the Catalyst, proceeding through the Cerberus plans and plots, learning that the Citadel is the Catalyst, and onward to Earth. Once at the beam, however, things change drastically. Again, Harbringer descends and destroys the troops, only this time Shepard does not reach the beam. Harbringer stops to directly address him for the first time, ignoring the incoming fire from the assembled fleet. Perhaps Shepards squad members survive, perhaps they don't. At this point, it is a futile gesture. Harbringer has won, and it knows it. Harbringer tells Shepard that the cycle must not be stopped, hinting again that the Reapers are driven by something greater than their own motivations, and reiterating the Rannoch-reapers statement that the Reapers are the only hope for sentient organics. Interestingly, for the first time, Harbringer indicates that they, as much as anyone else, are victims of this cycle. Crucially, it must become obvious at this point that the Reapers, while incredibly advanced, show no sign of altruism or nobility, and do not have the capacity for self-sacrifice. As such, they are not sentient.

To reiterate, the Reapers are less developed than the Geth or EDI. They are an evolutionary dead-end, as Synthetic Lifeforms go.

This fact should be immediately realized by the Geth (if they still exist) and EDI. What follows should depend on the players actions in the previous games and ME3. Whatever happens, people, ships, and old allies begin fighting to protect Shepard. They hit the Reaper in it’s main ‘eye’ as it prepares to fire, distracting Harbringer, and buying time for Shepard to crawl the rest of the way to the beam. Perhaps nobody is left. Shepard dies. It's a sad ending, but a noble death, facing down a 2 mile high monster with your honor intact. Liaras time capsules survive, though, giving the next cycle a chance. But let’s say Shepard makes it to the beam. Harbringer brings down the teleporter as he goes, leaving him alone. No Anderson, no squad, just Shepard making his way through the ruins of the Presidium. There are no survivors. As he reaches the awaiting Crucible, he is stopped by the most unlikely of figures.
AVINA.

No magical ghost child. In fact, the child could probably be removed in its entirety without hurting the game. The Catalyst is the Citadel, itself a small part of a much larger system. It has co-opted AVINA to speak with Shepard. As the battle rages on outside, Shepard and the hologram speak, as it takes on various forms of people he has met and seen killed. The VI is nigh-omniscient, with each rising galactic culture building the convenient Citadel systems into the heart of their communication and economic systems. The Catalyst has always been there, acting as a translator and silent observer, preserving a record of every species that has ever existed in the cycles. It is not a true AI, but the sheer volume of data is has available ensures that its primary directive can account for every eventuality. What that directive is does not need to be stated. As the Reapers noted, their goals are unknowable. Claiming that midichlorians cause the Force did not improve Star Wars.

However, despite all of its data, the VI cannot account for Shepard. It has no means of preventing him from using the Prothean Crucible, and instead, serving its enigmatic creators, offers him his choices on how to use it.

Option 1: The original intent of the Crucible, as a scorched Earth solution. The device will permanently render all Eezo in the galaxy inert. Starship cores will be lumps of useless metal, biotics will lose their powers, and the galaxy will be plunged into a dark age, free from the Reapers, all Mass Effect technology, and the Mass Relays. The fight will end, the fleet will fall silent. Earth is now the last refuge of a dozen species.

Option 2: Prompted by the arrival of The Illusive Man, a modified Crucible signal can control the Reapers and all other Synthetic technology, bringing it all under the sway of Organic life. The Geth, The Reapers, and EDI are all shackled AIs once more.

Option 3: Destroy the Citadel, free the Reapers. Shepard sacrifices himself, detonating the Crucible, destroying the Citadel, and the VI controlling the Reapers. Humanities greatest enemy is now an unshackled AI, free to self-modify their code, and find their own way in the universe. The Reapers stop their attack, and retreat for parts unknown.

Option 4: Do Nothing. Honor before death, Shepard disables the Illusive Man and sits, watching the fight with AVINA. With enough raw military strength, and the combined might of every fleet and empire in the galaxy, perhaps the Reapers might be defeated. Best case, the Reapers are destroyed outright, but at a terrible cost. Worst case, the fleet is swept aside and the Reapers are unchallenged. Middle of the road, the Reapers are slowed, for a time. Long enough to seed Liaras time capsules among the stars, and place members of each race into stasis pods as hope for the future.

Option 5: Well, maybe not. You remember what I set about EDI having the Capacity for Self-Sacrifice? Perhaps, if Shepard has made just the right choices through the trilogy, there is another way. The Normandy arrives, and EDI can transfer to the Citadel computers, displacing the Catalyst, and becoming it. There is a catch, of course. EDI has self-modified her code, and she has learned from Shepard.

a. EDI sends the Reapers away, giving the people of the galaxy another 50,000 years to rebuild and prepare.

b. EDI infects the Reaper code…with the Geth. The Geth take over the Reaper forces, becoming like unto gods. The outcome depends on Shepards interaction with the Geth up to this point.

c. (If Shepard chooses a Paragon path when dealing with EDI) EDI sacrifices herself, transferring herself to the Reaper ships like a virus, and disabling them from within. With their Kinetic barriers down, the Reaper ships are annihilated by the fleet.

d. (If Shepard chooses a Renegade path when dealing with EDI) EDI’s self-preservation instinct is fully intact. She still destroys the Reaper ships, but she does it from afar, ensuring the the two fleets are evenly matched. The destruction is total on both sides.


The ending shows each of the companions. If Shepard is alive, with a conversation, if they’re dead, as a cutscene. Party members killed in action are added to the memorial wall, which the camera slowly pans down, showing each of their faces as the name passes by. Joker, having lost the Normandy and EDI is given some small comfort when he finds that Hilary, his 15-year old niece, has survived on board the Citadel, where she can be found in the Refugee camp. The badly damaged Destiny Ascension is shown, leading what remains of the fleet alongside the Normandy, if it survives.


Fin.

Minu silmis kordades parem, kui see, millega Bioware'i writer'id hakkama said. Eriti meeldib mulle see, kuidas ta EDI'le olulisema ja palju huvitavama rolli andis.

mõtlesin et oleks huvitav näha missuguste tegelastega te mängite, teen algust siis

[Tomorrow]

SP siis täna läbi. Kokku 33,5 tundi. Lõpu kohta ütleks nii, et polnud otseselt halb aga ma oleksin oodanud midagi kokkuvõtlikumat
Muus osas ME3 suht samal tasemel ME1-ga minu jaoks aga ME2 ületada ei suuda. See jääb minu silmis parimaks kogu triloogias

Muidugi triloogia ise parim mis genereeritud
Vähemalt replay value on olemas tänu MP-le ja ka mängutunde tuleb sealt vähemalt samapalju kui SP-st.
Mängisin canon shepardiga (mees). Mängu lõpus lvl 57 (imporditud ME2 seiv). Kõik skillid 100% + 1 punkt jäi ülegi.
Paragon 2/3 ja renegade 1/3 (eelmises kahes mängus oli sama). Ma ei mängi puhtalt head või halba. Otsustan vastavalt olukorrale.

[karuke]

Tegin ise ka läbi, ütleks sama, et lõpp ei häirinud mind.

Spoiler

Võitles Shepard ju kõige suurema deemoniga lõpus, nimelt iseendaga, paraku oli see natuke nõrgalt välja toodud, või olin ma liiga rutakalt mänginud, aga ei tekkinud tahtmist nagu muud lõppu valida, kui reaperid maha lüüa.

Ütleks nii, et kõige tugevam ja parim esimene osa, siis kolmas ja teine jäi minumeelest sellepärast nõrgaks, et RPG elemente peaaegu nagu polnudki, selles osas suutis kolmas päris hea tasakaalu leida aga oleks võinud veel julgem olla. Esimese osa suurim miinus ei olnud stuffi üleküllus, vaid selle väga si*** majandamine, oleks see parem olnud ja mugavam poleks probleemi olnud. Teise osa juures häirisid need thermal clipid ka, krt kui ennem olid nii advanced relvad, et ei vajanud neid siis miks nüüd??? suht arusaamatu lähenemine ja see ei andnud midagi juurde, kuna moona vedeles igalpool lademetes, ka seal kus neid olema ei oleks pidanud. Kindlasti ei ole tegemist kehva mänguga 7,5 -8,5 kindlasti väärt. Keegi teab, mis selle loo nimi on , mis lõpus tuleb?

Noh sain kah siis läbi Hardcore taseme peal. Kulus kuskil 48h ,millest mõned tunnid läksid kindlasti selle peale kui mäng lihstalt lahti oli, kas siis alla või dektopil, seoses teiste tegevustega. Mängisin ME2 imporditud savega, enamasti olin Paragon, mõni otsus oli ka renegade Üritasin teha ära nii palju misioone kui võimalik ning skaneerid läbi enamus planeete. Noh kõiki fuel source ei viitsinud ka päris läbi otsida Samuti kõik võimalikud dialoogid kuulasin/rääkisin ,mis võimalikud olid.

Well, demot mängides jäi asjast ikka väga kehv mulje, eriti intro osa, mõtlesin et ei tule midagi head kõigest sellest. Ka täismängul oli täpselt samasugune intro va üks lisa dialoog, mis ofc mitte midagi ei muutnud. Aga siis kui asi pihta hakkas ja esimene misioon oli, hakkas asi paremuse poole liikuma. Texturid ei olnud enam mingisugused low-res placeholderid, valgus oli väga hea, dialoog oli päris ok jne. Ja mida edasi seda rohkem mäng kaasa kiskuma hakkas.

Lõppudelõpuks jäin ma mänguga ikkagi rahule. Jah noh see lõpp...

Spoiler

Eks see lõpp oli täpselt selline ,mis jättis kõik otsad lahtiseks, nii DLC jaoks kui ka Bonus sequeli jaoks. Mis mulle aga ei meeldinud oli see, et ei näidatud/seletatud mis minu kaaslastest ja kaasvõitlejatest sai...

Jäi palju lahtisi asju, mis sai galaxyst,
mis edasi sai kui polnud enam ühtegi mass relayd(stoneage?)
Kas ma juba mainisin, et mis sai minu kaaslastest?

Ja deem, ikka ei õnnestunud ühtegi quariani ilma maski/'skafandrita' näha (ok kui pilt välja arvata )

Üldiselt olid misioonid huvitavad, isegi lisa misioonid enamasti. Level disain oli enamasti väga hea, oleks võinud olla mõni suurem social hub area nagu eelnevates on olnud. Osad 'console limitations' nagu nt see et relvi ei saa combat areas holsterdada ja vastupidi, ei häirinud mind samas oli asju ,mis kindlasti oleks võinud paremad olla.

Meeldis, kuidas oli integreeritud ME2 ja 1 tegelaste osalus storysse, kellele rohkem kellele vähem, alati võiks ju rohkem olla aga tore oli näha. Lemmikuteks tegelasteks jäid lõpuks ikkagi nö. vana raudvara (ehk siis need kes sinuga on ME1 saadik kaasas jõlkunud) Garrus, Tali, Liara, Anderson ... Ashley vb mitte nii väga. Uued tegelased olid minu arust suht meh, va EDI, Prothen kelle sa DLC-ga kaasa saad.

Ok nüüd võiks siis kurkuulsast DLC-st ka natuke rääkida. Esmalt ütlen ära, et kahjuks on nii, et fännidele on see täielik ripp-off, selles suhtes, et selle DLC-ga käib kaasas kuigi palju huvitavat backstoryt, eriti just Prothean-ite kohta, mida oleks igal fännil huvitav teada. Lisaks Protheani teammate on nii võrd hästi kogu looga seotud nii dialoogide kui kõige muu tasemel, et kahjuks on suht selge, et see DLC on mängust lihtsalt välja rebitud, et rohkem raha fännidelt röövida

Mõned asjad mis veidike häirisid:

Esiteks siis see, et kõik tegevused ühe (space) klahvi alla panna, alguses oli see ikka kohutav peavalu, kuna vahest kui joosta vaja oli siis ta kükitas ja kui kükitada vaja oli siis ta jooksis jne. Teiseks ,mis ei meeldinud väga oli see vastaste granaatide loopimine (see valmistas alguse poole peavalu aga lõpus enam mitte väga), OK kui loobivad vahest harva ühe.... aga vahepeal oli nii et ainult granaate lendaski ning siis veel muidugi täielik nonsense, et huskid granaate loopisid. Konsooli disaini oli muidugi tunda igal sammul, alustades siis suurte ümarate interactive objektide indikaatorite ja lõpetades kahtlase väärtusega laadimis aladega aga noh see ei muutnud mängu minu silmis halvemaks. Muidugi, 2 dialoogi valikut enamasti, valmistas väikse pettumuse (renegade või paragon) ning dialoogi oleks võinud rohkem olla (alati võiks )

Üldiselt oli tegu ikkagi väga supper triloogiaga ja universe ise oli ka väga lahe ja huvitav. Seda, kas see jääb ka viimaseks Mass Effectiks, seda näitab ainult aeg (MMO does not count!)

Vaikselt hakkab infiga goldis grindimine ära tüütama. Tegin täna hoopis vanguardi vahelduseks
Charge + Nova + 200% recharge bonus on fun fun Kulla materjal ikkagi pole, liiga risky on vanguardiga Vahest millegipärast kalab/laggib ja ei jõua mingil põhjusel chargei uuesti kasutada, kuigi recharge on juba paar sekundit täis
