Tbh the whole 'lead them or fall spiel' makes no sense when Bioware gave you /no way/ to fail. Yeah, companions will leave if you piss them off, but it doesn't really matter if one guy leaves when you have an entire army at the ready. Two proper endings would've been better, instead of just 'you lost lol retry until you win'. There's no stakes! No one dies! Every important choice leads to the same end! At least change the game's fuckin tagline if the reasoning behind it got cut
that’s the point tho they advertised that there was like a TONNE of endings and there never was. bioware fucked a bunch of people over and the only reason it didn’t get as much fuckin shit as, say, fallout 4 now gets (i LOVE tht game, personally, but i know a lot of people fucking hate it– fr both valid n not so valid reasons) is because it’s bioware and people were willing to put up a tonne of industry Bullshit for representation for lgbtq folks n people of colour and also a Big Sworde………….. which is valid but it’s also like, lmao, now we’ve had two bioware games where launch has been incredibly wonky & full of, frankly, unacceptable bugs and cuts
