ok so what will happen if they find out that it was all dead people who support to get rid of net neutrality. Do they do a revote? I don't think it will change anything.

It won't alter the vote whatsoever. Some individuals could get in serious trouble (not likely), but it's ultimately unrelated to the vote itself which didn't have public input or representation.

What top 10 list? Get it?

I'll agree that Samara/Morinth (9), Wrex (7), and Romance (6) don't really fit this.

You only meet Morinth once and it's under false pretenses so you don't actually get to know her, while you've been with Samara for awhile and develop a bond. You don't just throw that away for a hussy you're sent to kill, no matter what she says in the final struggle. I will say Morinth's appearance in ME3 is a pretty cool nod though, if you choose her.

Wrex isn't a choice really, you either have the ability to stand him down or you don't.

Romance isn't hard, you just pick your favorite and bone 'em. The only hard part is staying loyal, since new options are introduced each game and being nice is an invitation to make out. This caught me off guard when I inadvertently made Shepard kiss Liara in ME2's DLC, even though we established earlier I had a new lover. Luckily I learned my lesson here and wised up to this behavior, and I was more rude with both Liara and the newly bisexual Kaiden in ME3.

I have some reservations about the Quarians/Geth (5) and the Genophage (4), and the Suicide Mission (3) choices. For the Quarians/Geth, I was pretty thorough on my playthrough so I brokered peace, I never had to make the decision. I imagine it would have been difficult if I did, because in no way are the Quarians the obvious choice.

For the Genophage, I really don't feel like the game presents enough counterargument to curing it. Somebody can mention consequences all they want but we know the game/series is ending after the Reaper war, so we'll never see the result of any of that. Unless you're roleplaying a xenophobic Shepard there's nothing compelling pushing you towards sabotage. Also this entry makes a mistake: it's possible for Mordin to survive.

For the suicide mission, Bioware really screwed it up by making it so we could delay activating IFF until you were prepared. If the IFF incident was mandatory as soon as it was available, then it would be a hard choice because you'd only have a few loyalties, and not many (if any) ship upgrades. You can go in early and risk losing teammates, but go in late and you won't save everyone, including Kelly who we get to know pretty well. It's still a fairly minor consequence all things considered, especially compared to losing your actual squadmates. They should have added more, like making the final mission harder if you delayed going through: ideas include more health for the boss, harder enemy patterns, and perhaps a harder survival threshold for the final stand so that getting everyone out alive isn't very likely.

Everything else is fine, with Ashley/Kaiden being the well deserved number 1. When I had to make that decision the first time I just sat there for several minutes unable to decide, it's the first time in any game that I had to make such a choice. I had to condemn one of my good friends to death and that was not easy.

I'll also agree that is sucks that ultimately none of it mattered. Damn near everything just turned out to be a war asset, a number of choices were straight retconned, and the rest had clones in place that meant the story was barely altered if mentioned at all.

that they can easily just repeal something and then flip a switch to turn off net neutrality in one day

ISPs have been licking their lips in anticipation for this, you really think they haven't been making preparations in advance? The inbound repeal has been public knowledge for months. Yeah the law won't go into effect immediately tomorrow, but we could see immediate results the moment it takes effect.

shadowsword87 posted...
Y'all are real bad at knowing how laws work.
It goes from congress to the senate then the supreme court then to the president.

This isn't a one-stop pony once it passes in congress.

It's not coming from congress...it's coming from the FCC who has federal powers to impose laws and regulations on telecommunications. Congress could pass legislation that supercedes it after the fact (good luck with a republican majority), but to my knowledge they can't actually stop it in advance because the FCC is autonomous.

NightMareBunny posted...
