[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5882245, member: 58416"] Nothing a few thermal clips can't handle. That's a little bit of a joke, but not entirely one. My first instinct about Miranda was to shoot her; my gut instinct about the Illusive Man is even worse. The plot seems more forced than it does natural. Another issue I'm having right now is feeling as though the second game doesn't really connect very well to the first game. Most of the characters I found interesting or had a connection with have little or no part in the second game; a lot of things are left unresolved. A few plot holes bug me a little too. In a way, I feel as though the game would make more sense to me if I knew nothing about the first game than it does going into it with knowledge of previous events. Maybe it'll get better as I go. Knowing what I know of the first game; knowing what I now know of the second while playing it, and knowing a little of the 3rd game via my friends, I'm struggling a little to see the big picture in a way that is satisfying. It's most assuredly not the quality I expected based upon the reviews. I would by no means call the game nor the story bad; I just don't see what everyone else sees. To get things back on topic. I think the ending of the third game should have been something gamers saw coming. Just from the few interactions I've had with the Illusive Man in my current play through of the second game, more than a few things seem pretty obvious. For what it's worth, I do not believe the ending of the 3rd game should be changed. That's not because I feel it is a good ending, but because I fear that the 'indoctrination theory' will make it even worse. The main complain about the game is feeling as though choices along the way did not matter as much as they should have. If a new ending is made which uses the indoctrination theory, that's like saying you never actually made the choices to begin with. [/QUOTE]
