The Mass Effect 2 Après Jeu Game Discussion Thread (with spoilers!!!)
KvP:
Playing through the game again, it's striking how incredibly small the main game is - the core path takes up about 25% of the game, if that, when we define "core path" as "missions not related to recruitment and NPC backstory". That so much of the game is recruitment (10 out of the, what, 13 or 14 main setpieces, leaving out loyalty missions) feels really weird. On my second playthrough I'm finding the party drama less fun, and I'm wanting more stuff with the collectors and Cerberus that's just not there.
It might just be that beating the game once has stripped it of the mystery and uncertainty of Illusive Man and Cerberus' role in the whole thing, which was a big draw for me the first time I played.

The fuck, I thought I responded to this. Anyway, yeah man I could not agree with you more. I get the sense that a lot of this team is going to be on the last episode so hopefully they frontloaded the team gathering this time around and we're going to get a double helping of storyline on the next one. The kotaku review emphasizing the degree to which the bioware rpgs are getting formulaic was dead on though.
What I was really surprised by was they're their decision not to reveal that the Illusive Man is an alien manipulating humanity for his own ends. They gave him a number of lines referring to "you humans" or "you and humanity" and between that, the eyes, and the fact that he only interacts via projection I'd say this is pretty much definite. Yet they're saving the reveal for the final episode. Seems like a mistake.
Melodic:
that is a ridiculous theory
pilsner:
Say we make a little bet. Loser has to post a photo of themselves in a dress. And to specify, I'm betting that it will be revealed in the final chapter that the Illusive Man is not human but either an alien or a robot. C'mon tough guy, let's see the courage of your convictions.
Storm Rider:
I think you're wrong but I'm also extremely self-conscious. So fuck it.
