The impossible challenge of writing the infinte permutations of player choices into meaningful endings may have been too much. The need to make the game as friendly to new players as it was to returning players could have played a factor. It’s unclear what happened - time constraints or pressure from EA could have forced the team to rush an ending that should have had more time to develop. It feels like walking 100 miles to get lemonade only to get there and be told you can choose between a pair of shoes, some brass knuckles or a cheeseburger. The choices the player made throughout 100 hours of gameplay don’t have any effect, and a few eleventh hour decisions make all the small difference that’s available. They chose a lousy time to let it slip.Īt the end of the game, player control seemed to fall totally out of the equation. They let players take ownership of their character while keeping the narrative driving forward. The binary system, for its restrictions, allowed players to shape a character that reflected their decisions, and for a while the writers struck a great balance. The peak of the illusion of player control came at the end of ME2, when the player’s decisions really did determine the fates of every last crewmember aboard. It would seem that the developers had made a lot of improvements in the second game – some of those dialogue restrictions were smoothed out, and paragon and renegade interrupters made the choices feel much more fluid. I remember trying to play the first game with an even hand, and then I found that the game forced me to kill a squad member because I hadn’t committed to either track.
… The fans are every bit right to ask what you’re asking.It defines a struggle that Mass Effect has had since the beginning: allowing for player choice in the confines of what amounts to a linear story.įor me, the cracks in the illusion of choice became apparent as early as ME1: I was always frustrated with the way it shoehorned the player into the same old binary moral system: paragon and renegade, blue and red, good and evil. He further said, “Every fan has a right to boo my a** out of the stadium. We’re going to practice hard on Wednesday, we’re going to practice hard on Thursday, we’re going to practice hard on Friday, OK? We’re going to play for each other on the field next week. One game left and the most games they’ll win is five this season, OK? But I guarantee you this: Those men are going to walk in on Wednesday and be ready to roll. And that’s a lot easier said than done when they’re looking up right now. You have to change how people think, change how they f-king - pardon my language - believe in what you’re doing. You can get new players, you can have them in your damn locker room all you want.
You understand that? That’s the toughest thing. The toughest thing to change in the team, the toughest team to change in the club is the way people think. This ain’t some clown show organization or something else, OK? We’re talking about the foundation built. This ain’t a team that’s having fistfights on the sidelines.
