Top 3 WTF Bioware Moments (Spoilers)

  1. Mass Effect 3 : The Ending

    The starchild. The triple coloured ending, swiped almost verbatim from Deus Ex. The gaping plot holes that had to be fixed with special DLC. The lack of closure. The ridiculous tale of 'The Shepard'. If this were a school paper, the game would be an A+ downgraded to a D- purely due to the last ten minutes.

  2. Dragon Age 2 : The Ending

    For goodness sake. It was just ridiculous. Anders spends the whole of Awakening flirting, playing with kittens and healing people. He spends DA2 being romantic, tortured, and healing people; also rescuing frightened teenagers from rapey, murderous templars. Then he blows up the Chantry. For no apparent reason. He's my favourite character (apart from Varric) and I think he's pretty justified... it just makes no sense.

  3. Dragon Age Origins:Alistair at the Landsmeet
    You spend the whole game with Alistair. He's cheerful, funny, and either adorable or suave depending on your in game choices. He's a fantastic character, by far the upgrade to Mass Effect's Kaidan, and becomes really interesting. Then throws a hissy fit when you suggest sparing Loghain. Like a real, toddler style tantrum. Nm that it means acquiring an extra Grey Warden, an extra person to potentially sacrifice themselves, and a guy that pretty much beat out the Orlesians single handedly - Alistair doesn't like it.

Liberal Bioware


Great, humourus take on the religious right's fury at Mass Effect:

"They allow same-sex romance and preach multinational cooperation as the "good" methodology, and the one that asserts your own military muscle/divine mandate while saying f-you to the rest of the diplomatic community is the "bad" methodology. The wholesome conservative family values woman (Ash) onboard is portrayed as a racist, religious bitch, and the bisexual liberal (Kaidan) is a calm, mild-mannered gentleman. They prop up false gods like "Athame" and "Kalahira" and make no mandate for the player to stop and worship the one true God of Earth. And most importantly, they not only let you sleep outside your species, they wrote the alien romances to be more favorable, when they should have had only human options as God intended. What part of this series isn't left-wing propaganda? Not that I don't love every minute of it (save the last ten). lol :D"
