I know we take twitter with a grain of salt, but... ugh. I hope that the closure is actually something that makes sense and not more space magic. 




I can't find the tweet. Has it been taken down?

Haha, thanks guys. I'm just reassuring her now that she's not alone. I'll see if she wants to join the ranks.

That's a mood killer. I don't want clarification. I want it to change.

Hold the line.

I have a feeling they will release a slideshow with some "clarification" before the ending......


Nah, they already said to a couple pubs that they were going to add some more gameplay... I imagine that means the citadel kid scene may become an indoctrination attempt or something...
They won't be releasing a slideshow haha, they might release cutscenes of 'post sheppard'.. which still leaves Citadel Kid... but I'd take that better than the current ending with the plothole space magic.

A slide show would be released next week, I guarantee it wouldn't be all hands on deck for a month to give us a powerpoint show.  That sounds far more like cutscenes and maybe new dialog, using some of the current voice work spliced together, maybe getting more... lots of options there, but I guarantee they'd already have released it if it were just a slideshow.  They may have dropped the ball on the ending 5%.. but they did the other 95% in 18 months, I guarantee a month is going to give us more than a slideshow lol.

Amen to that.

Probably. Don't want things to get out of control on the boards. Like I said, I'm not taking anything from twitter all that seriously. I just wish that they wouldn't wait until April or PAX or whatever and just give more of a definitive answer.

I honestly dont get how people actually thought that Bioware was going to actively change the ending with DLC xD

if they did end up doing that it would be super crappy with rushed in game cutscenes that try to appease fans and a lack of dialogue because they wouldnt be able to get certain voice actors back. It would be way too ridiculous.

Closure is all I really ever expected, and im pretty sure they were planning to do that from the start. We just couldnt wait until a month or so to start raging about the lack of it.


After all their official statements (especially the last one), I really don't think they were going to make anything else for the ending. That was the ending. Period. Everything else would be before the ending, and probably spin-offs. 

And hey, they always do DLC; the ending DLC would not be anything different from the others DLC. Plus the VAs don't even have to go to Canada to record it (they do it at LA, London..wherever the closest studio is).

A bit off topic, but, i have to ask.

I mean, i see no other reason for him not having a single line the game.Image IPB

Which publications did they say that to, and when?  I haven't seen anything about it.

I missed the "assuming direct control" lol
My mom was actually wondering why no one was talking during battle this time. :lol:


EDIT: in case you are wondering, the VA for Harbinger is also the VA for Bartrand (DA2)

Just rebuild Edi~ cant be all that hard. After all, synthetics are basically just organics that we learned how to build lol

What irritated me about the Destroy ending killing EDI and the Geth (other than BioWare arbitrarily doing it just to make it a "bad" choice) was that they are just software on computers. How does the red energy pulse take out just the AI software itself and not all computers and/or circuitry? If all computers are fried, galactic civilization is f***ed.

Maybe it just targets that AI software...otherwise...SPACE MAGIC.

Has there been any recent tweets that specifically point out the direction they're taking that is supposed to 'satisfy the questions' brought up?

If so, really bioware? please don't. Unless you're actually just simply redoing the ending or at the very least going with the Indoc theory (both of which are sort of an unreasonably large/heavy task for a mere fan-service DLC), it will be just like putting lipstick on a pig.

It's one or the other, if you care about your 'artistic integrity' so much, don't do this. Do a flat-out no, and the fans will just have to learn to deal with it. If you feel otherwise regardless of the costs, then you should simply do it right.

This half-way solution is just gonna ****** EVERYONE off.

I forget where I saw it.. I've been following so many articles this week on it.. it may have even been in our local print publication (probably syndicated from the Edmonton papers or something)..  Google around, if you find that I was mistaken my bad.  Either way, rest of my post still stands.

That's the part I'm confused about. How does an energy pulse "target" software rather than circuitry?

If you think you too hard on all the plotholes at the ending of this game, your head may explode. That, or you'll end up with nice padded walls.

From Anderson's death on is called "Space Magic".

My read on the "April" thing is not a release date for content. That is when they will have more *news* for us. So they're basically planning and taking data and calculating money costs right now. They're trying to see what they can do and how much it's going to cost them.

Once they determine their course of action, they'll make an announcement.

Once they make their announcement, I'll know if I'm going to bother with anything else they have to sell or not. :)

Hold the Line!

I think i got what bioware is trying to do.
They will delay the ending dlc ultil 12/21/12 so, the world will end before we play it.
