Not to mention ~~killing off the main character at the beginning of ME2, then magically bringing him back~~. Like, where the hell was that technology all throughout the first game or ~~any other time Shepard gets killed~~? I don't mind that really. It took several years, millions and millions of credits and a project lead by a genetically modified scientist.

It wasn't feasible under any other circumstance during the trilogy. It felt to me like one of the cheapest cop outs for changing your class/appearance ever. The timing of it was terrible too. ME1 ends almost on a cliffhanger with this huge, climatic battle at the Citadel. The Council is either destroyed or recuperating, reapers are invading, Shepard has a full crew ready to stand up to them and... ...suddenly we're escaping a med bay with characters we've never seen before, the head of some company from ME1 sidequests is hogging screen time, and two years are just skipped over. Ugh. The series went from being my favorite, most hyped and most played game on the 360 to not even wanting to play ME3. I still haven't touched it to this day. <cite>Vertania posted [p:886867085] in What's the... [t:75790084]...</cite> <quote><cite>Darmik posted...</cite> <quote>I don't mind that really.

If that is an FFXVIII reference , they explained why that happened, and much more interesting then ffxii garbage. They did explain the orphanage scene, but it was still a very contrived and pointless plot point that went nowhere. A small blimish on a otherwise enjoyable plot imo. --- I won't have it!

Strega was really bad. Not much about Nyx or shadows explained well in game. I personally thought Nyx being a celestial body was dumb. While touching, the fact that Minato lived another month was kind of dumb, but that's the smallest thing. To be totally honest, the Answer had a better ending plot wise despite the fact that it seems to conflict with the reasoning of Nyx's coming. --- http://i.imgur.com/zSHmk.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qT9WxSu.png <cite>giantblimpN7 posted [p:886868248] in What's the...
