@sgtsphynx: Then yes, I think it would definitely be worth it. Easy little sacrifice there.

Is humanity going to be in a state that they're glad to be around for the next 10,000 years? If so, then yes, as that seems to be for the greater good, and your reputation won't make any difference to you when you're dead. If what you have to do is something that would drastically harm humanity perhaps changing society for the negative over those next 10k years (which it sounds like it would have to be, if you were labeled the vilest human ever), then I wouldn't say it's worth it.

@president_barackbar: There's nothing virtuous about martyrdom. While I disagree with the left, I'll defend their right to freedom of speech.... even if some of them oppose that.

Adding "even if some of them oppose that," totally undermines the civil point you were trying to make up to that point. Where's the push from the left against freedom of speech, anyways? Is this still part of the whole confusion about the difference between freedom of speech, and consequence-free speech?

Back on topic, I don't know if I have a favorite president, I just know which ones I really dislike, such as Reagan and Jackson. Though on the whole, I really just not a fan of the corporatist trend that both parties have been going with in the past few terms.

The ending was terrible before all the DLC, now it's just bad. Picking anything other than Destroy requires putting a degree of trust into the Catalyst (you know, the thing that's been controlling the Reapers - the things that are murdering everyone) that I just CANNOT fathom. The whole series had been about STOPPING the Reapers, not making deals or compromising with them. I think the ending would have been a lot better if they just cut all that crap out and just ended it with Shepard and Anderson bleeding out in the control room, with the Crucible defeating the Reapers.

Agree with this, and what @brodehouse said earlier in the thread. Destroy just seemed to be the right conclusion after that whole journey, even if it was labelled weirdly by that game as if it was the "bad choice." I liked the Geth,and made sure that peace was worked out, didn't mind EDI at all, but still figured that their sacrifice was necessary in the greater struggle. The Reapers were the enemy throughout the series and I wasn't going to let the Catalyst talk me into doing something that would keep the reapers around. Took a bit to think about all of that before deciding, and then was ultimately disappointed when that original cut-scene followed afterwards.

@brodehouse: Hah, that was just the first one that came to mind, been quite a while since I've played it, and figured it was the most well known choice. Again, it's been a while, but I was really, really hoping something would come of that sphere you find randomly on a planet, which only does something if you have the item from the Asari Consort. Believe me, I too wanted a ton of those small decisions to have a bigger impact, wanted every choice to really matter. Obviously I know that's a pretty big thing to put into a series, but man would I have loved it.

I think the rachni just kind of came to mind because of how little difference it really seemed to make.

@brodehouse: Yeah, it definitely was a great feature, I think it just didn't live up to the expectations I had built up. I went through that first Mass Effect, and did absolutely everything, expecting even small decisions to come back and have some sort of impact later on in the series. Still cool that at least some of those decisions made an impact, but I was hoping for a bigger difference in choosing to save the Rachni, for example.

But yeah, I do wish that more companies would take a shot at it, and really take advantage of all which that could entail. The potential is there for it to be a really amazing feature.

@brodehouse: I can think of at least one example, the first two Golden Sun games, which have come between then.

@veektarius: Yeah, that's why I specifically named those ones. Been voting since the beginning, just wanted to point out that there were PC games in this thing.

We're both basically just trying to say the same thing, lol.

@sjwho2: Neither was Crusader Kings 2, Dota 2, LoL, Starcraft 2, or Civ V. It has to do with when they came out, because I think most people would consider all those games (and probably wow too) as games of this generation.
