I'm getting increasingly worried that BW might change the ending instead of expanding on it with a patch or DLC, this would mean that there probably would be no boss fight and just the ending from after TIM dying and the cutscenes being changed.
I'd much rather prefer an expansion of the ending we got (since the only thing that makes sense is indoc. theory which then means that the game didn't really end) instead of them changing the ending and not having coherent post-end DLC. Ofcourse DLC that directly impacts the main story in means of a "true" ending should be free, I'm not saying that I'd prefer to pay out more to coax me out of my fetal position on the bed, just making that clear.
What do you guys think? Change the ending alltogether or expand on it?
I would prefer they expand on it. The whole star child event is fine for the most part, as long as it wasn't the ending. Honestly, they could even make it where two of the options DOES cause the end of the game, but choosing the other option has a chance to continue the game on to a different set of ending choices.
Say they make the blue and green option end the game, but the red option brings about an extended mission with the scene where Shep wakes up. He continues on (player controlled) to the next set of scenes. Perhaps then the previous area was a dream sequence with Shepard breaking out of indoctrination since he "Destroyed" the connection. It would be a very good twist, and show that a player choice mattered. Say then he continues on and meets up with the Illusive Man (as the previous scenes were all in his mind). Perhaps taht part will play out very similarly. Fine, sure, that can work. But then youa re presented with options or choices that can determine the next series of choices which take into account your actions across the three games. Say you brought no fleets with you, well teh Reapers overwhelm them, but you are given the option to still "defeat" the reapers and at least the galaxy survives.
Or, say you brought all the allies into the final battle. Well that would have the battle turn out differently, and a choice comes up where you are meeting up with either Star Child, or indoctrinated Illusive Man in a final attempt by the reapers to perhaps turn Shepard over to their side, letting you choose, if you want, to have the reapers win, or have the fleets keep fighting while you fight with both Starchild and Illusive. Who knows, you could even talk the Illusive Man into joining you and breaking his own indoctrination to fight the Star Child and perhaps giving TIM a chance to redeem himself to the galaxy in the end (I know it could be possible, as I talked TIM into shooting himself in the "dream sequence" part). This could lead to numerous events. Get enough points or have the right allies there, and the fleets pull out a win now that the "brain" of teh Reapers (aka, Star Child, or even the avatar of Harbinger, if TIM wasn't the avatar of Harbinger already just as Saren was the avatar of Soverign) has been removed. Shep could survive, or collapse from injuries, and we are brought into the actual ending. It allows for so many different options to come about, but it is caused by the player action. You would have your one "happy ending" where everyone lives, or every permutation of lives and dies possible, and you have not only kept the original chance for the game to end on the first Star Child scene, but also brought about the feeling where the player made the choices. the player determined how it would end. It would bring about desire to play all three damn games again to get different possibilities, not only making BW/EA a crapton of money form the selling of the older games, as well as rekindling buyer confidence in the fan base to buy more games made by them.
Overall, what we have now really seems like not only a dropping of the ball, but dropping the ball into the grand canyon...
