You know, if I *could*, I would. But the game is tied to your Origin account, which is also tied to other games I'm playing. So I can't send you a copy of the game.
And I've stated that it's within your right to withhold your money. Perfectly reasonable response, there. I have no bones with it.
I am pointing out that you are, in effect, judging a book by its cover based on 10 minutes at the end. You are unwilling to listen to others when they say that the rest of it is brilliant and far outweighs the bad. You are screaming that Bioware needs to "fix this"; that your choices "don't matter". You are demonstrably wrong on this, which is what I argued. But you don't care. That last ten minutes is apparently important enough to you, even though it's been pointed out that it quite literally does not represent the rest of the game as a whole, that you're willing to throw away all of your potential enjoyment and amazement and sheer emotional intensity of a truly amazing, gripping story easily on par with the first two, and better in a lot of ways.
And that's fine. If that's how you feel, I'm certainly not going to be able to change your mind.
What I object to is the idea, the concept, the outright insanity of the idea that you have the ability to *honestly* criticize something when you have deliberately ignored the vast majority of it. I've never argued that the last 10 minutes weren't bad. I've argued that the rest is worth it, and you can ignore that bit. But your claim is that you can't ignore that. Okay then. Different strokes for different folks.
