Don't think they will, to be honest. I don't see them adding anything to what happens before you go into the crucible. 

Weeks said he wanted more closure on harbinger, that gave me some hope.


At this point, I don't care about Harbinger; I would rather fight Starchild...:unsure:

And honestly, all I want from this EC is a happier ending or something. ME3 was the most depressing game I've ever played in my life.

Harbinger was a brilliant enemy, scary because the Reapers were unknowable. I don't know why they chose starbrat over Harby.

I'd love a detailed convo with our dear antagonist like we did with Saren at the end. Tell/ ask him that if this star child is their creator did they ever stop to think his solution was wrong? The Reapers can think for themselves from what I understand, so surely seeing peace with the Geth and EDIs change of viewpoint of humanity should be a key factor and stop to make them think that maybe a change in their thinking was in order.

I honestly thought at the end of the game since the Reapers could not be destroyed ( well it would be pretty hard when you think about Soverign) we'd drive them back into dark space and cut them off. So with what I said above I could figure if they saw what Sheaprd had done they would also reject starchild and return to dark space to see what happens.

Im not saying this would work but it's a thought I had.

The same way they thought Space Magic :wizard:  was a great idea  <_<

Nah, harby chose starbrat, the coward did a runner.
The odd thing is I'm being both funny and serious when I say that, starbrat manages to diminish the threat and power of the reapers in just a few words.

Indeed. After going through the final mission, even tho it was just waves of enemies, but once I saw Harby I was PUMPED UP!!! I was like lets do this Harby!!! 

And then :wizard:.........

Exactly! Shame because personally I didn't need to understand the Reapers' motivations.

It's really not that bad, a good few years ago probs something like 2002 or so one of my mates persuaded me to play some stupid JRPG. It started off with the protagonists family dying in front of him, then over course of the game you aquire various companions, most of who sacrifice themselves to save you at some point, then your LI gets killed off and then finally you and the antagonist have a massive show down which ends with the both of you dying. So yeah, ME3 is pretty depressing but it could be worse.

EDIT: And tbh, I could deal with a depressing ending as long as it was GOOD

It was so much more epic when they seemed more self-serving.

It turns out they were supposed to just be confused and misunderstood *emo face*

I really think that bioware fired Harbinger's VA.xD
I can see no other reason for him not having a single line in the game.
I mean, come on, harbinger was the most cocky villain of all time, of course he would say something when he finally got his object of obsession(shepard).

See, that's JRPG. I'm used to dark and depressing JRPGs. Their tv shows are also very depressing. People dying in their media is like...the most natural thing ever. So I expect their games, tv shows, anime, manga to be very sad (I actually enjoy it; sometimes I need a reminder that my life isn't that bad)

But my problem with ME is that its main theme was hope and fighting for the impossible and succeeding, depending on your efforts. That was not present at the ending of ME3. So, for a ME game, it was the most depressing ending they could have made.

And I could deal with a depressing ending if we had the option of having a  very good and an okay ending. There was no choice. It was horrible, horrible, and horrible: pick your color. :crying:

If they don't retcon the whole ending, there's only so much they can do. I believe Weekes has stated EDI can survive the destroy ending on Twitter. Jessica mentioned that the star baby doesn't have to be telling the truth. Take that as you will, but if they keep their ending as it stands, there can only be so much they can do to fill in the blanks.

I need a link to that, if anyone knows anything please please find a source, and only a source to Weekes please.

He said it during an informal Q&A with a fan in South Africa. The guy posted it on a thread somewhere on BSN...

Thank you, but just to make things clear, I'm referring to EDI possibly surviving the destroy ending.

I know, that's the one I'm looking for, but they tweet way too much and there are only so many tweets Twitter shows before going dumb and getting slow...:(

True that. Although for the "my life isn't bad" kick I normally just use Eastenders or some other crapy soap. Hmm, I've never really read manga/watched anime past a few series of Gundam (because giant metal not-robots are cool) and some stuff various flatmates/girlfriends have forced me to watch. As for JRPGs, I pick one up occasionly but for a while.

I guess that one just sticks in my mind because it really, really was depressing. The only happy moment in the game was when my guy got to tell his LI that he loved her, then they had a kiss and then she bled out in his arms 5 minutes later.

I've noticed a trend in games recently towards sad/depressing story moments. It's half the reason I love games like Trine (if you haven't played it then you should, it's freaking awesome) who buck the trend and manage to have decent gameplay, story and still be lighthearted despite the seriousness of the plot.

Haha, that is so Japanese! Should watch their TV shows. I watched one once where every single character  except the blind girl died (the main character died too). By the end of the last episode, I was already used to people dying, so I didn't care anymore. 

See, I don't mind sad/depressing if we get the option of having a nicer one. Wasn't killing most of your squadmates sad enough? You need to make sacrficies all over the game and then...nothing matters. 
I was expecting an ending that I could compare to DA:O ending, and instead I got one ending with different colors and a "buy DLC" message...:crying:

The Japanese make a live action version out of everything they possibly can....... surely this can't surprise you?

But back to the endings....

No, I was too young when it was famous in Japan. I only know Neon Genesis Evangelion because I watched it later.

And hey, NGE has a ME3 ending! :devil:
