LOTR MMO went nowhere fast for me, and I'm a Gandalf wannabe if ever there was one. SWTOR still has interest

I miss being feared and hunted in Britannia. I was the master of North Brit road. You couldn't own a Castle there without my say. The entire region's lowbies gave me tribute for protection. I tolled the road and you'd pay. If not out of respect for my reputation then because I was entertaining. Picture this.
You're riding full speed eastward along a dark and woody path. A bear cries out from the south and you're reminded that at any moment an Ogre might lurk onto the road ahead. You hear the stead sound of chopping wood off in the distance and soon all around you the echos of woodworking fill the air. Ahead, sitting calmly in a tall chair and behind a large wooden table that blocks the road, a figure in dark blue robes patiently awaits your arrival. Could it be? Is this the Dread Lord Illmyrin? "I'm dead," you think as you hear a dozen or more shadowy figures emerge from the forest as the chopping stops. A man named Silent Knight makes his way towards you wood and axe in hand. He places his load on the ground before you and begins writing in a book which when finished he hands you. It says "Hi, please get off of your horse." While you read this Silent Knight has begun to turn his wood into a chair for you. You return the book receiving a *Nod Towards The Chair* from Mr. Knight. Sitting down your attention is torn forwards towards the blue robed man who has stood up and is almost upon you. You scan for a way out. You see that the forest around you is blocked in like a fence made out of carpentry items. Tables, chairs, desks and chests are hidden within the trees all around the road preventing escape. "Hello, I think this is my new horse. Right?"

I replaced Sauron with Santorum in your story.
Not intentionally.
It still made sense.

The ONLY way the endings could have made sense is if the indoc theory is true. If it isn't, they are the stupidest endings of all time everywhere. If it is, Bioware pulled off the greatest feat of metagaming of all time...but mass effect will still need a proper ending to bring closure. Mass effect will get another ending, even if for no other reason than to ensure the stability of the franchise.

ROFL. ME3 players are literally taking them to court over the ending.
Mass Effect 3 fans are taking their fight against Bioware and EA on the issue of game's ending to EXTREME level. Gamers are now filing FTC complaints against EA and Bioware for "FALSE ADVERTISING" after the ending of Mass Effect 3.
Mass Effect 3 EndingHere is what Bioware Forum user "El_Spiko" wrote:
"Against EA. After reading through the list of promises about the ending of the game they made in their advertising campaign and PR interviews, it was clear that the product we got did not live up to any of those claims. This thread has a great compilation of their claims:

I don't understand why people play games expecting some awesome ending. True, Bioware games tend to be story driven, but if I want a story I'll read a book or watch a movie. I play games to play.

BW games have a long history of weak endings too. So I dunno what people were expecting.

If you see EA on the box, you know something about it is going to suck.
Or you should.
