Just played through Burial at Sea episode 2, which was a sight better than the first one, which is good. But there's some retconning in there which is so bluntly reactionary to a particular bit of public opinion that all of my internal organs facepalmed. Spoilers below.
What an obvious load of pandering horse shit. I was pretty well on the fence when it came to whether they should have changed the Mass Effect 3 ending, but that was at least controversialy bad, not just controversial. It is meritous to add to a character or piece of narative after the fact, but the forced backpeddling nature of this puts it into Han Solo shot first territory for me. Gameplay can and should be tweaked by popular feedback; but narative is authorship and the public should not piss in that pool. That is what Facebook is for.
One argument for this could be it was all some elaborate play by the developers from the beginning. If so, colour me entrirely fooled.
