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.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
