Scylla Costa, ME3 Live Producer Hi guys, We are discussing internally about a set of guidelines that can permit MP modding while protecting the IP, economy and other players. I ask for a little bit of patience while we move forward internally with this topic. I've been working on a mod that rebalances the game, as well as a 'platinum' difficulty level. The people I was working on the mod with decided to post some videos of us playing the mods in their beta stages, and a week later Bioware said that any and all modding is cheating. I was very sad. Now, there's a pretty decent chance we'll get developer supported modding! So, modding in Mass Effect 3 MP? Discuss! | ||

I suspect this is unlikely, but, is it possible to change the way the cover system behaves when using weapons that can be charged up? For example, as awkward as the Kishock Harpoon Gun is, I think it's quite fun to use. However, when using a chargable weapon from cover you remain exposed when charging the weapon until you discharge. I think it would be preferable if you could charge the weapon and still remain in cover, and only expose yourself when aiming. I hope that makes sense. | ||

I suspect that's theoretically possible by someone more technically skilled than I. I really don't know where I'd even begin to look, though - I did a cursory check through the coalesced file, but the coalesced is mostly just numbers. I can't change any of the core gameplay. In this case, I can change the charge-up time for, say, the Arc Pistol, but I have no idea how I'd let you charge it behind cover. Also, the DLC is stored somewhere else. Until I figure it out, I can't change anything related to the DLC - it's just not in the coalesced file. | ||

Maybe if we all stopped purchasing alright... not good or great dlc then they'd stop spoon feeding us this shit kool-aid and give some quality content... For instance a different ending then the single ending we all got. Personally I enjoy the multiplayer parts, it's obvious they did not invest too much time into it, but it is fun and gives me a way to pass the time. Of course I'd enjoy it more if I could play the campaign as Co-op, but sadly that is not a feature Bioware focused on. Yes the ending disappointed me, but the game itself is still the best of the triology, and I've loved every single minute I spent in this universe. Also note that so far every DLC (except the Day 1 collectors edition DLC, which i still haven't bought simply because i don't buy stuff like that) has been free, so of course we are excited about it. | ||

I dunno, I played through all 3 games in order, and I enjoyed myself in ME2 the most. Something about character development really got me into it the 2nd and 3rd times I played through. ME3 feels unfinished, story rushed, not very polished, etc. I think they wanted to get it out in 2011 but had to delay it so it wasn't complete crap, but it's still not as good/polished as ME2 or ME1. | ||

They're not actually going to change anything. Which is a shame. | ||

They believe their move was so gutsy and inspired that it was only natural that the unenlightened masses reject it, being as they are raised on convenient tropes and harmless narratives. Add to that the slew of supposed critics and connoisseurs who hold up the ending to Bioware's own marketing statements and you have a recipe for their current embarrassment. | ||

And even so, I'm ready to give Bioware the benefit of the doubt, because their games have always been excellent. People who jump on the bandwagon saying that Dragon Age 2 was crap mostly did not play it to its entirety - the game has better storytelling than the first game - sure, the gameplay changes, and repetitive environments were for the worst, but the game was still extremely enjoyable. | ||

All the clues & hints are either coincidental or down to people reading too much into things. And I doubt they will use any of it since all they're doing is 'clarifying & explaining' the current shitfest. Just go through all of Bioware's statements released after the whole furore started and you'll see. can you get me bioware's statements on the ending saying that indoctronate theory is wrong? thanks | ||
