Its fake , bioware tweeted it , also it was on 4chan ..........

Of course they denied it was real. You really think they are going to admit that one of their ex employees leaked their future plans for dlc and games?

Now I'm not saying it's real but it's surprising people would actually just take the word of bioware as true.

If it wasn't fake I think their reply would be "No comment" rather than "Fake" given the situation they are in.

I must say, the ending did not make much sense to me.

The catalyst says he does it to stop Synthetics destroying Organics or something along those lines. So to stop the synthetics destroying organics, he gets Synthetics to destroy organics. He is in essence, the cause of his own problem? I honestly thought that was some sort of writing error at first, it just did not make any sense to me. Add to that, it's a ridiculously stupid excuse that doesn't actually explain much anyway, other than the catalyst just saying what basically amounts too "because". Well that's a great explanation .__.

Does anyone know how to

keep Tali alive?  I am on my 2nd play thru and she keeps dying by committing suicide.   first play thru she lived.  I know Mordin just dies as well as thane and there are no options (I am pretty sure) to keep them alive.  But I know Tali can be saved.

Stop legion from uploading. The only other option is to play straight paragon and save both of them. That or it has something to do with saving both commanders.

If you made the right decisions in me2 and me3, and have a high enough reputation you can have legion upload the data, and stop the quarians from attacking creating peace.

If not you need to have him stop the upload for tali to survive. If you do this legion dies instead.

Stop the uploading code.

Or

Not exactly. I figured it out. Yyou must have killed the heretics in ME2, prevented Tali from dying or becoming exiled in ME2, and a few decisions in ME3. Also, as I found out, the last mission you do on rannoch is Destroy the Reaper Base. If this is not the LAST mission you do on rannoch, then Tali will die. I made the mistake of doing the mission Destroy Geth Server last.

So Tali is alive, Quarian fleet saved, Legion dies regardless, and both Quarians and Geth working together. Geth invite the Quarians back to rannoch so now the Quarians are settling back on their home planet. Tali joins your squad. She is located in the engine room.

Anyway, Legion always dies as well as Thane. Also, either Mordin or Rex will die but you choose which. Mordin will die if you reveal the sabotage and Rex will end if getting ****ed if Shepard lies to him and Shepard has to put him down.

Read what I said in my post before this one.. My results were different since I did things correctly in ME2 and ME3.

Legion will die no matter what. Thane also dies because of main story line association. I believe Wrex can live, in both my playthroughs, he lived and Mordin died

Yup, depends what decision you make during the last mission to cure the Krogan on who dies...Mordin or Wrex

. Never liked Mordin...he was annoying.

It's not explained very well.

They don't destroy all the organics, they harvest the ones that have advanced enough to create AI/Synthetics and turn them into Reapers to "ascend" them to stop them advancing so far so they don't create synthetics that have the potential to become more than the creator which the reapers/catalyst prophecises will wipe out organics if left unchecked.

They leave the non-advanced civilizations alone, as the catalyst explained that they left the humans alone in the cycle before because they weren't advanced enough as to pose a threat to the universe.

Thus they are on a never ending cycle of every 50,000 years coming back and harvesting the civilizations that are too advanced, only this time they didn't factor in the human element, no other cycle has completed the crucible or met the catalyst.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

      This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
