StingingVelvet: Any series you can fuck Miranda Lawson in is PERFECT FROM START TO FINISH.
Meh, I preferred Liara by far. Heck even Tali comes before Miranda. Nevertheless, I did her too in ME2.

Blue babies Bioware? You deserve to die for not offering one of those endings. :D

IronStar: We mostly agree here, but every time I hear variation of artistic integrity ME3 ending fiasco comes to mind.

SimonG: Well, the rest was pretty awesome ... ;-)
And that's why it hurts even more. ;-)

Crassmaster: Oooooo, an irrational comparison between a game bundle and blood iamonds.

shmerl: It's not irrational. It's highlighting the focus on ethical business practices. DRM is unethical (even if not to a degree like blood diamonds, but still unethical). It's preemptive policing approach which disrespects legitimate users. So any distributor which has strong anti DRM stance (kudos to GOG) deserves extra credit and encouragement. And other way around, if distributor decides that DRM is acceptable - it adds to their bad reputation.

Crassmaster: If people would stop building up 'good guy' game companies in the first place, maybe that would be a good idea? They aren't your friend. They aren't your buddy. They only exist to offer you a product from time to time. Stop building them up in to anything more than that, regardless of who it is. It's time to put on some adult clothes.

shmerl: If people would stop holding the nonsense that business should be unethical, and wouldn't tolerate such practices voting with their wallets, companies would be much more thoughtful before engaging in any such kind of behavior. But no, people say they don't care and it's OK. You get what you choose.
If we lived on a totally different planet with a totally different history and we weren't human.....man just think of all that

The first time I played ME2, I resolved the Miranda/Jack situation without losing either of their loyalty.

The second time I played ME2, I chose to side with Jack, specifically so that Miranda would die during the suicide mission.

You and I have very different tastes in video game women.

It's not irrational to draw a direct comparison between a game bundle using Steam codes and the trading of illegal diamonds mined with slave labour and usually involving the deaths of many, many innocents? Dude, a comparison like that is the DEFINITION of irrationality. Your arguments might go a little better if you stopped attaching them to statements so gobsmackingly insane that all focus begins and ends there.

@Crassmaster: You evade the subject - i.e. that DRM in essence is unethical, with nitpicking whether using blood diamonds analogy is appropriate as an example of unethical business practice. Therefore your reply is off-topic. Please comment on the subject or better not comment at all otherwise.

That really was an absurd analogy though, and it deserved to be pointed out as absurd. Why did you pick such an extreme comparison when you knew it was extreme? You honestly couldn't think of a better example of something more fitting? Come on. Resorting to using such an extreme example just gives the impression that you can't make a solid argument against this with a comparison more appropriate

It's a common example of unacceptable business practice. I.e. something that could be presented as good on the surface, but bad underneath. And that blind usage of it without thinking too much that it's bad only promotes it further. So unethical business practices which are pushed to the market as "good" can be called the "blood diamonds". I don't see anything wrong with the analogy itself. But really I don't care about the analogy, I was pointing to the essence of the issue - i.e. to the DRM. And Crassmaster didn't answer anything on the essence, therefore contributing nothing productive to the discussion.

It's almost like your comment on the essence isn't the only thing worth discussing in here. I know that might sound crazy and all but it's true. His comment still made sense considering that it was stilll related to all that was quoted (that includes Andrew's post) and this thread itself

Miranda's death is second only to Ashley's as the most satisfying death in any video game ever. And that's mostly because you get to shoot Ashley yourself in ME3.
I really don't understand how they could make such an unlikable character out of Yvonne Strahovski's voice and likeness.
