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.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
