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.
