It just angers me that they would even try to add a "canon" option. I know it's technically part of a way bigger universe, but it's not like it matters all that much to the Star Wars EU either way. It's largely pointless to get angry over it because it's for the sake of storytelling more than for solidifying a gender for Revan and the Exile. Leaving them ambiguous wouldn't really do much, especially since they do seem to play a major role in TOR. Remember, this was the days before you could carry over a save. Literally just asked you some questions at the beginning of the game and said "good enough." -- TheRock ~ Slow dramatic zoom-pan. Doesn't phase the hooded man. "You have issues." - MWC. Pot.

Seriously because most of the people choosing that option pretty much most likely haven't played the game and witnessed the travesty as the actual fans have. Really, I've seen people say the ending isn't that bad, but I have not seen anyone say that they were actually pleased with it. I just don't understand how it could be f**ed up that bad. Even the ending to the Hunger Games trilogy wasn't as bad as this.

Refund guy is on the Citadel outside of the warehouse you go into to talk to "Fade" for Garrus' loyalty, IIRC. Right next to the Tupari machine. His is funny simply because it's a saga across all three games. There's the turian right at C-Sec customs that keeps calling the customs chick racist. And a whole lot more that I can't think of because I mostly remember the ME3 ones right now. ME3 is cool because the conversations have multiple parts and you can hear something new as long as you check the people out everytime you come back. Of course you could just go to a different floor and come back repeatedly to hear the full convo, too, but that's no fun. -- Gamertag/PSN-Murphiroth "Would have liked to run tests on the seashells..." <cite>Murphiroth posted [p:923218] in Mass Effec...

That's pretty amazing, actually. Honestly it's pretty much assured that the ending was just indoctrination.
