I'll just say that the last part of ME3 was just a really screwed-up dream that TEH EMPRAH had.

I loved Mass Effect 1 for it's story.  I feel like 2 butchered the story beyond all hope.  1 spends the entire game creating this massive sword of Damocles hanging over your head.  2 starts from the premise that now you are going to fight the sword of Damocles.  I feel like it's no wonder the ending of 3 feels like a letdown.  If you are fighting what is supposed to be an unstoppable foe defeating them is going to feel wrong.

That kinda story happens in a lot of movies and video games but some of them can actually pull it off. ME isn't one of them. They ruined a great potential. Still, ME2 did it right in my opinion. It's called a suicide mission for a reason. You and your companions can die. I really expected something amazing for ME3.

But then SHPESS CIHLD MAJIK happened. I like to believe that it's a hallucination or something. Or Shepard expires. Either way, no space magic.

Turn the singularity inside out and backwards.

Incorporate the sword into my claws and attempt to ascertain how stuck the angel is.

Also nice.

"Aye, we'd best be about this. Time is money and all that. Why'd they hire us to do this again?"
Pack up my bedroll, grab some travel rations, and head in the direction of PlagueTattoos. Check that my equipment is in working order.

Make the edge of the universe connect to the indside of it in mindbending ways.

I think people who call Old Man Henderson's GM bad don't quite realize that all that crazy stuff he does - the GM allows all that.

Anyway;

29. Take your time updating your game. The players won't mind gaps of months between turns at all.

First point: Precisely!
