There was a report of an alleged EA employee in spain/portugal (?) that claimed we'd not get different endings through DLC, just closure for existing ones. As I told silver though, hardly official or the internet would be buzzing, and it wouldn't just be mentioned in some obscure foreign paper.

Having said that, I don't think this outcome unlikely per say, but in no means is this report official.
We should wait for PAX.

i still havent found a suitable version of the ME2 Sexy hair mod...frustrating, none of the ME3 ones are as good

They've always said they're not changing the endings, just clarifying it.: http://i.imgur.com/eMYVd.jpg

(I don't want them to change the skittle color endings personally -- I just don't want the game to stop right there.)

PAX is coming up real soon and there will be news coming out then. Just gotta sit on our hands and wait. Don't let speculation toy with our emotions!

They don't have to actually change the ending. I just want them to explain all the nonsense.

Yeah see even if this rumor was true/official, it's nothing we didn't already know, or rather, nothing that wasn't already highly likely to happen. Also, masseffect twitter claimed it not to be official. Wait for PAX is a safe bet I'd say.

I have no interest in in DLC explaining the ending. The ending is actually pretty easy to understand. It's simply not very good concept wise.

That's what I'm worried about.  Them "explaining" the endings means that they've failed to grasp what we're upset about.

As has been said a number of times before, if you're explaining yourself, you're losing.

Ha, basically.  I understand it; it was just bad.  Clarifying won't fix that.

And clarifying may ruin the headcanon I've made up to "fix" them myself.

At this point, unless there's a complete rewrite, I'm going to be living out the rest of my days with my headcanon.  Of course, even with my headcanon I don't have a "how it happened".  Just that all my post-ME3 stories continue to have a live Shepard and Mass Relays with no Reapers.

Oh, I think I might have the "how."  Except for the Synthesis one.  I cannot grok that one.

I'm actually working on a fic that simply accepts Synthesis without going into the how.  I wholly reject it as an actual ending concept for the game, but I felt it offered an interesting storytelling opportunity.

I can see how it'd be interesting. And not really in the Firefly sense, either.   It just... breaks my brain.

Deus ex machina. Godchild. --> all bets are off and everything's possible.
If there's one thing humans want it's to understand everything, the whole premise of the endings (ALL of them) was that it's BEYOND our understanding, which is, if you ask me, exactly WHY people have such issues with it.

^ This- so if the report is true - no more BIoware games for me,. They just took one of the greatest game franchises with  not one but two of the best lead protaganist Femshep and Bro Shep and turned into a complete joke.   

Matters not I have my head canon,  Kyra lives on with Samantha -furfilling Thane wish to live a long happy life. Nathaniel her brother settles down and builds a life with Tail on Rannoch. Alice - who started out a clone, a contructed discovered who she is and what it means to be alive. She busy busting heads with  Garrus.    EDI made a promise that she would safe the balance and keep records of  her time with Jeff and the crew. She will strive to keep the peace, protecting not only  organic life but Synthetic life.

I have to say Kallen transferred really nicely into ME3. There's something that makes her even more awesome and kick ass.

That also remind me why I disabled all started/ended game popups in Steam and Origin.

happy couple
As a soldier, every fiber in Erica's being screamed "let him go." He will be a much bigger asset to the effort w/ his biotic kids than he would ever be on the Normandy. She asked him to stay anyway. It's funny. Erica's relationship w/ Kaidan was always one of want rather than need. She doesn't need him, but she wants him to be w/ her. The reason being is that he will always be with her no matter what. But as the story in ME3 unfolded Erica felt more alone than she had ever felt in her life. Letting Kaidan's moral compass be her "conscious" wasn't enough any more. She needed him, and it was very humbling for her to admit.

lunch time
"Oh course I still love you and want to be w/ you. I didn't put on this stupid dress to impress security."

Erica had always been pragmatic and kept her emotions very close to her chest, but on the lunch date she got to be vulnerable, something that scared the hell out of her and yet was very liberating at the same time. I might add that the lunch date was almost surreal in its normalcy. Erica may come off as rough, even a bully at times, but she is not a selfish woman. Everything she does, for good or for ill, is for the greater good. It was nice to see her be selfish for once.

proposition
Wrex: Before you go, there's a matter of a matting request we need to talk about.
Shepard: I knew that was you. I'm flattered, but as we humans say, "I'm taken."

I've only played two femsheps so far, UJ and Erica. Each approached the Surkesh deal differently. Erica was practical and honest and told Eve that she was a bargaining chip and nothing more. But after speaking w/ Eve Erica's perspective changed somewhat. Curing the genophage was still a risky proposition and I had originally intended for Erica to take the Salarian deal, but that would go against her character. She told Wrex and Eve of the plan. She knew that she may have just doomed the galaxy, but she also knew that they could all die tomorrow. Theories on what if didn't matter if all she had was today. And that's the way I played her from then on. The future be damned as there may not be one.

the mystery
"Snake eyes again? Damn."

UJ on the other hand is constantly rolling the dice. She saw both sides of the genophage argument w/ equal validity, but she trusted Wrex. She was going to gamble on that trust. Meeting Eve solidified her decision to stay on her path and she never considered entertaining the Salarian deal.

I really how deep you seem to have gone into your Shepard(s) developpement! I mean they did almost the same thing regarding the cure of the genophage but the motivations you gave them (even if they didn't go in the way you wanted them to) make all this very different.


Well, even if I'm feeling that I'm pulling a lazarus project on those subjets seeing how the thread moves fast... Here Margaret Emma's stance about keeping Kaidan and the genophage:
Despite being full paragon and all, Margaret is someone who can be selfish when it comes too close to her, some of the decisions she took were more about her than thinking about other's safety. It was the case about Kaidan.

The idea of encouraging him to go to Hackett never crossed her mind. The way she saw it: she was dependant from Kaidan's feedback and help since he was her paperwork pusher lieutenant in the Normandy SR-1, it helps her feels more secure. To herself, if so many goes wrong during her collaboration with Cerberus, it was because she lacks of people who wanted to do "the right thing" at her side, so, when Major Alenko asks about returning to the Normandy, it was "To the ship, now!" without feeling any guilt or throughts about the danger she could put him into.


About curing the genophage, it was almost a no-brainer, it was already in Margaret head when they found Maelon's cure even if she thought that her part was done at that point. Talking with Eve and seeing the ruins in Tuchanka convinced her that it was definitely worth it.
(However, I have to admit, when I played this part with my renegade, it was difficult because it forced me to calculate the worth of the salarians over the krogan, knowing that I couldn't have them all since Wrex was alive. Calcul which result in curing the genophage, even if it make sense since the renegade could make this calcul, it was quite disappointing for me because the salarian didn't seems to be able to make a good deal alones in game-mechanism terms)

I'm too tired to think of the endings tbh. Especially since that wasn't the only thing pissing me off about ME3. Anyway, incoming pic spam.

Conrad told her he has a shrine dedicated to her:

I think those fumes got to Kaidan's head XD

So. Much. This. You can explain something broken until the end of time. It's still broken.
