Don't get me wrong, NV isn't linear game and you can explore world to your heart content picking up the quest as you go - you just don't have to. It's the way the quest are placed and structured that makes difference -

no, last time I checked there was racial segregation in US up until 1964 - that's merely 2 generations away and not enough time for turning 'most' black into mixed - unless after 64 every black person picked spouse from other race - and that never happened :)

it was supersonic boom, on video you can see plane fly by and AFTER the flyby you can hear its sound - you actually can't hear planes approaching because they are approaching faster than sound.

yes, sadly lego has patented every possible configuration of "plastic block" and is dragging through courts everyone who dare to thread into their garden - LEGO IS a patent troll.

funnily since I know old man is voiced by Buzz Aldrin I never considered Stargazing as part of the game ending, more like independent message from the Man Who Walked on the Moon to us, players.

testing, testing...so how can I see tree of all the posts in single discussion?

...and thats actually a beauty of the thing, [at least in my version of the ME universe :D] since husk are still machines they can alter own bodies as they see fit and e.g. became Edi styled humans, or little pony's, or whatever they want - is it a loss or gain?.

Well..alternatives are galaxy wide police state or delayed yet impending cyber doom, I'll call synthesis lesser of all evils? ;)

Wrong. Reapers are forcing everyone in the same form to annihilate diversity and conflict, Synthesis simply adds additional layer of affinity between all beings - humans are still humans and geth are still geth in almost every aspect, just now they are simply different races of one single specie.

to make post ME story Bioware has to choose one of the endings as canon and that will create another fanboy clusterfck :D, improbable

1) is a gardner viciously trampling ants evil? or maybe he is simply annoyed by them:) - but real answer is that we as players have to loathe reapers and that why they are given evil face, otherwise every fanboy on the net would be complaining that we are destroying faceless boring flying ships

synthesis dumb? First you are tempted by the devil, you are picking an apple from the tree of knowledge and... Adam and Eve are crashlanding in paradise - it is best ending evar :D

Stargazer scene is voiced by Buzz fcking Aldrin who tell us that our future lies between the stars, it is a message from the guy who walked on th moon, to the nerds in front of tv's, it has very little with the game itself.

With the nickname like that you should pick synthesis ending - you know, the one where you are being tempted by a snake to pick an apple from the tree of knowledge and then Adam and Eve are crashlanding in paradise :)

yeah, with the Vorcha as leading race :D

do the weeds need to know purpose of the gardener? he's job is to keep damn garden healthy :D

also...synthesis = Tali without the mask = instant win :D

old man from stargazer ending is actually voice of Buzz Aldrin - you know, a REAL space man telling you that stars are our future - there is a message in here and it has little to do with the game itself.

in the synthesis endings - scene with edi and jocker leaving normandy is a homage to the Adam and Eve in paradise - literally, You just created new world where everyone will live happily ever after. They have all knowledge and technology of all times, they are connected to the reapers 'telepathic" network, they are…

first - artist by definition aren't given any time to do stuff unnecessary for a project (and majority of the assets is simply not t-shirt ready), obviously artist could do it in his free time but that possibility depends from his contract. I did tried once to do more for my company in my free time only to hear that…
