I missed the reference to DA 2 being shipped pre-Alpha as I was only skimming it. That's the kind of hyperbolic nonsense spouted by forum trolls. Not professionals.

I think 'Mass Shift' is a good title.
No, I am not trolling.
I just don't loathe everything on Earth.

If by some miracle Bioware can make the Godchild/catalyst angle actually work then maybe, just maybe I'll agree with you there. However Mass Shift requires that condition to be fulfilled to work for me.

Buch, I'm a disapoint.
Also the title Mass Shift just.... gives out so many oppotunities for everyone to abuse it with lame puns and what not. I'll start:
I don't give a shift.

I wouldn't mind the title.
...if the whole thing was actually true.
EDIT: Another thing I forgot to mention...
the guy who authored that original post called it a "spiritual successor". Anybody who read the rest of the post, and already realizes what the term means, knows it's a gross misuse of it.
Examples of spiritual successors:
BioShock (For System Shock 2) Fallout (For Wasteland) Supreme Commander (For Total Annihilation) Dragon Age: Origins (For Baulder's Gate) Demon's Souls (For King's Field)

All I said was I like the title. You hateful lunatics. Still, you have to acknowledge the fact that the title can be problematic in such a poor context as this. I mean, with the shit ending and the whole Mass Effect universe being shafted and all.

Hey, Buch. Is that shark in your swimming pool? The one that BioWare gave to you as a gift? Seems like BioWare did jumped the shark.
Ok, I'll stop.
About the Spiritual Successor thing. You're right, Cali. The Original poster did misused that term. Another reason why we should not take him seriously for now. Still, I'd say there's a 20 percent chance this is nightmare might came true. Someone mention there a couple of leaks from reddit and 4chan that seemed to be trollish at the time... then irony sets in when it came true.
Again, I'm done with the series and I'm done with BioWare. I'm damn tired for all that jumping into a pool of sharks and dealing with the BioWare's flip-flop in their 'artistic' quality. Unless there's a miracle happening in April, I'm not holding my breath.
Never thought I'll be emotionally exhausted from a series, until now...

As far as research is showing, it looks as though if ANY kind of continuation is possible, it will be an MMORPG. If that's the case I won't have anything to do with it.
However, I WOULD like a possible continuation with our own experiences, i.e. Tabletop? d20 system anybody? Cuz, THAT would be pretty cool imo.
But, that's just me.

Financially they are getting their buts handed to them via TOR. I don't see them getting funding for a second MMO.
I have been known to be wrong though

I think you're right Linders about the mmo funding part this time.
Besides, making an mmo is a huge risk financially, especially on the AAA scale.
