I acutually have many problems with ME3. Some are little things and some are big things. Like I'm not a fan of the click npc and stand around or run in circles while they all talk to each other thing personally. Im much more into the whole chatting thing via the dialogue wheel.
Most problems in ME3 can be boiled down to a poor framework left in ME2. ME3 starts with you under house arrest after a bit of a time skip. So you are instantly dropped off into a situation that you dont really know whats going on with people around you that you have relationships with that you dont really know. Then instantly its all "we need to save earth".. because reasons.. like I get it.. saving Earth is important.. but it's mostly marketting. "Take Back Earth!". Earth isn't important when it comes to stopping the reapers. Then you have to get to mars because the Prothean Archives are bigger than originally thought (because reasons) and they think there are some plans for a superweapon left by the protehans (maybe?). It's an asspull. The entire crucible thing is just thrown in there because they had nothing set up from the previous games. Don't get me wrong, the writers did great considering they had written themselves into a corner, but it's a hell of a lot worse than it could have been.
The Mass Effect Trilogy will always be known to me as a trilogy that only scratched it's potential. I eagerly wait a remake of the series with a lot of these problems ironed out.

The problems with ME3 go deeper than the ending. Most just seem to let it all slide though for some reason.

I’ve never understood the love people have for them.
The sci fi space opera RPG well is running dry and has been for decades last I checked. Though I'd love some recomendations.

I enjoy the mystery around the galaxy in ME1. I enjoy the interactions in ME2 the most. However it's a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE sequel. ME3.. Honestly It's disappointing compared to what came before, however the multiplayer was some of the best fun I ever had. Then they come out with Andromeda which has some weird retcons or interference with ME3s lore which boggles my mind. Pick a lane Bioware!
Honestly I'd reccomend the original trilogy. After more than 10 years I have learned that if you are super into ME then its best off not digging too deep if you enjoy it! I dont even go into detail pointing out the problems anymore as I dont want to spoil anyones fun! lol

- Comment on Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Remake Is No Longer In Development - Report 11 months ago:
Group announces fan remake. Group get cease and desist. Internet tells them they should have just dropped it one day out of the blue. A tale as old as time. Im sympathetic. But its idiotic to announce a fan remake of anything unless you have the written consent of the owners. (and even then its risky because they can always revoke those permissions at random)

I just want to say fuck nerve pain and tinnitus. Most of all, fuck having these legitimate problems and not having any useful diagnosis.
- Comment on Former Mass Effect Lead Forms New Studio To Make Narrative-Focused Games 11 months ago:
Or as some of us affectionately call him, Jack Walter's. Guy can write characters fantastically, but I don't think he had it in him to write consistent narrative. Well, not unless he has improved over the last few years. (x to doubt).
- Comment on Christopher Nolan Says Buy ‘Oppenheimer’ on Blu-ray ‘So No Evil Streaming Service Can Come Steal It From You’: ‘We Put a Lot of Care’ Into Home Release 1 year ago:
I was under the impression that every blu ray inserted needs to show a certain encryption key in order to work. At some point if you dont get a firmware update on your player, it will stop playing newer blu rays. (In theory, its entirely within a blu ray players power to simply create a new player with certain keys revoked, meaning some or all of your blu rays wont play. But its highly doubtful this will ever happen)
I don't believe DVDs have to worry about any of this. Im probably wrong however. It's been a long time since I thought about any of this.

- Comment on Sikh 'barred from Birmingham jury service' for religious sword 1 year ago:
A kirpan is a mandatory Sikh article of faith. It is carried by Amritdhari (initiated) Sikhs at all times. The word “kirpan” comes from two Punjabi words: 'Kirpa' means an act of kindness, a favor; and 'Aan' means honor and self- respect. • A kirpan resembles a knife or sword.

- Comment on Women in Iceland including the prime minister go on strike for equal pay and an end to violence 1 year ago:
Doesnt answer your question, however I did a tiny bit of googling. The prime minister is appointed by the president under the Constitution of Iceland, Section II Article 17, and chairs the Cabinet of Iceland. So maybe someone the president will appoint someone else from the cabinet as an acting prime minister?
