The entirety of your post made me LOL. THAT MACRO IS BRILLIANT. XD

Also, your Mood. PERFECT.

Luckily the game play is going to be awesome, regardless of all else, and I'm sure there'll be wonderful banter and great writing along the way, regardless of whether I like where it actually goes.

Reading this, it just became crystal clear to me that all this may in fact make up for the ending, if it's as bad as everyone says.

Because despite all of DA2s flaws (and good lord, there are many), not the least of which is that most of Act III is shite and they botched the ending in many respects, I continue to go back to it repeatedly because I love so much of the stuff they put into it in Acts I and II and the characters which I love so much.

If ME3 parallels that at all, I probably won't care how terrible the end is. (ETA): No, that's not true. I'll care. A lot. But I'll replay it anyway because the positives of the earlier stuff > the disappointment.

Ready for the damn thing to drop, though, so the speculation can end.This, this, 10,000 ( ... )

Banter + game play may help me really enjoy it once, but if DAII is anything to go by... I actually have no desire to play it again. :( I could be surprised, though! It could be spectacular.

I just really doubt it, at this point.

MP, tho. Hehehehehh. charrrrrge.

I'm wondering how long MP alone will keep me hooked. :) Obviously for at least two weeks, but...

Still holding out hope for a) still pieces missing from the puzzle and/or b) a massive troll job.

Either of those would be helpful, yes.

Though, being a denizen of the internet, the mental images that sprung up with the phrase 'massive troll job' are really, really unfortunate.

I agree on the writing and gameplay will make up for it. Part of me still holds out hope there's an "perfect" ending we don't know about, but . . . yeah I just want the game out so I can get rid of this anxious feeling.

Arggh, yes. There's actually weird anxious shit going down at my work, too, where there's something kinda big going on but none of us know or are allowed to know what it is, and I'm just ready for some resolution somewhere.

I'm sure there'll be wonderful banter and great writing along the way, regardless of whether I like where it actually goes.

While I'm glad others can do this (really!), I'm not one of them. If it's great writing up until the end, or if the ending is complete and utter horseshit, then it spoils the enjoyment of the whole for me.

Though your gif did make me chuckle. Even though I'm one of those wialing about my glass case. ;-)

Honestly, I think it's a bit helpful for me that I've known for months that the story I care about would only happen in my head. I knew I was going to be firing the head-can(n)on so hard shit wouldn't know what hit it, so adding something else is slightly less difficult.

I'm still not pleased, believe me. I'm having a glass-case day, too!

Yeah, I can see where that might make things overall a little easier. I wanted a Disney Ever After, but knew it would never happen. I would have happily taken even just a hint that a Disney Ever After might be possible - just something hopeful and uplifting, you know? Given the nature of the series, I didn't think that was too much to ask for or an unrealistic expectation.

Apparently I was wrong.
