You're defending an incorrect position and, consequently, perpetrating an unfair image of an important aspect of modern social philosophy. I guess that's where the ire arises from.

I mean, I'm not an internet troll or anything, but lolumadbro?

Huh? I haven't mentioned the incorrect usage of the term "feminist" and I'm not trying to defend that. I thought I was pretty clear that my usage of the term in that context was a mistake.
I essentially conceded that a ways back when I noted to DFM that he could have just told me I used the wrong word and I'd have been cool with that. I also noted that I barely even gave the usage of the word "feminist" a thought when I plugged it into my original post. I (obviously incorrectly, based on your responses) simply thought the usage I intended was properly implied and so it wouldn't offend anyone.

I'm arguing against the insinuation that I intentionally did so to piss anyone off, and/or that I'm sexist or have a vendetta against women and that it influenced my decision-making. I don't see that as defending an 'incorrect position.'

Guys let's just go to PM this thread seriously ran off the rails and now we're all in Canada, except Funka, he's in...Scotland. I already sent one to SS.

I was just making a joke man. I don't really care one way or the other. I'm just pissed I don't have HOLY FUCK SHIT MASS EFFECT 2 YET!

also, I've never been to Scotland!

I think he was just implying that their original rails were in the US, and they got so derailed that they ended up in Canada... and Funka got catapulted into Scotland.

Anywho back to ME2 talk, in regards to the ending I also made it through the end without anyone dying, and other than not having the right upgrades, the only way I can see you getting someone killed is with bad decision making (I have no idea how loyalty affects the end, though I plan to find out with my Renegade Infiltrator who's gonna go in with minimal everything). Seriously, for the first part even though Jacob volunteers, Miranda counters that a tech expert would be best in order to get the doors open quicker. And then when picking a person it says "pick a tech expert." So it's pretty straightforward that you should pick either Tali or Legion (Maybe Mordin? Not sure I'd wanted to risk that though). All of the decisions just require some basic logic.

I remember reading a post on Destructoid where Anthony Burch was griping about how he felt that two of his allies died because he picked the wrong answer in a multiple choice question. However I find it hard to take his complaints seriously when, even though the multiple choice question analogy somewhat fits, you have the answer sheet right next to you. And no I'm not talking about the internet, I mean that the correct choices are so damn obvious that you'd have to have terrible decision making skills in order to get characters killed solely from picking them for a task.

That's enough of end-game spoilers / ranting for now. Hopefully this brings the thread back on track.

I'm actually interested to hear, what happened if you didn't upgrade your armor, shields and guns on the Normandy.

So been working my way through the game. Spoliers for around the Horizon part of the game.

I really hate that all the women I want to knock army boots with are people I hate. Miranda's getting much much less aggravating through, which is fortunate as I wouldn't touch Jack with a ten foot pole.

I'm not a big fan of the fact that after completing a story-based mission three comrades of mine dump plot with "Can we go do this? Please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease Shepard?!" felt plotted, really annoyingly.

Also since I picked Ashley in the last game it was a real disrupting moment to be talking to her and have her be all "Man how can you trust Cerberus?!" and the only options for me were "I'm trying to do the right thing," when I told at least five people at that point I didn't trust Cerberus at all. So she naturally took off leaving Shepard to be all upset while I sat there, beating my fist against a wall, trying to shout that the Illusive Man could go fuck himself but Shepard apparently wasn't interested.

So yeah. Much as I bitch I like the game.
