Shouldn't be posting this as I swore I wouldn't and even though this won't do any good, the kid makes sense now. Though it should have actually been partly obvious anyway even before running across what I have just now.

And no, I'm not elaborating further. I'm sure others explain can explain if they've been privvy to what I have, but it become clear near the game's start why the kid's voice appears at the end (two possible reasons actually). But again, context is everything as is playing the game.

Just tell us, man. I'm assuming it's a running theme through the game that builds up to the heart-warming message that having children in an inbred colony makes galactic destruction and forced separation from your loved ones no matter what you do a nice feeling...except it doesn't.

I AM KROGAN came in with pictures of the Prima Strategy guide. According to the guide, there is a special surprise for people with ME2 save files that have the Prejak Paddlefish. We have import the ME2 save file that has the Paddlefish, beat the game, play the SAME file (I'm assuming the same unless it can work with another save that contains a Paddlefish) for the NG+, beat NG+, the game will reload after the credits, and you go talk to Liara and she has special intel.

Will it help with the endings? Is it something that unlocks a secret ending? Or is it just some stupid easter egg? No one knows.

Honestly, it has to be something bigger than a codex entry or an easter egg. The fish is 7500 credits alone. And why would we have to do all that playing just for a codex entry or a small easter egg?

Tank from SA confirmed the fish intel is just a war asset, and it appears in the pastebin of war assets. That much has been confirmed. The lack of any video file or audio file regarding a hidden ending should tell you that there isn't going to be a happy ending based on a fish.

I'm not tech-savvy with codes and files within games, but is it possible that there could be a hidden file packet? 

Not likely, since all of the video files share the same file extension. People have been looking for other endings, but they simply do not seem to be there.

Actually, it would technically be possible to name a file the incorrect extension, then use a bit of code in a .bat file to rename it to the proper file extension and move it to a different place in the file structure.

Not gonna happen, but certainly possible.

Interesting. Can you elaborate this for me?:

"In the case of Mass Effect 3, a day-one patch is required before playing on launch day, but this patch is already included in the pre-load data. That means you will be ready to play an up-to-date version immediately upon release."

If the patch is already in the pre-load data, why do we need the day 1 patch?

For all the people saying that the spoiled ending is 'realistic' and that we shouldn't want a 'rainbows and butterflies' ending, I must ask: why not?

Going into the third game the Mass Effect series is a story about a cyborg zombie super soldier, who has made a career out of doing impossible things, leading a galaxy of diverse aliens and against an invasion of space mecha c'thulus. Said super soldier's allies includes a guy who blocked a gunship rocket with his face and lived to tell about it, one or two members of species that has no natural life span, a sentient computer hooked up to his ship, and more than one person who got superpowers from radiation instead of cancer. Mass Effect was never a 'hard' sci-fi series; or a gritty, 'realistic' war game. Mass Effect is a space opera all about big damn heroes saving the day at the last possible minute and shrugging off impossible odds.

So why is it so wrong to be upset that after getting the metaphorical eqivalent of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, we learn that our expected Return of the Jedi goodness seems to have been replaced with some generic 'war is hell' grimdark finale?

So why are some of you so offended that others want to be able to choose to take our cyborg zombie super soldiers and kick the space mecha c'thulu's asses, than fly off into the sunset to find more evil to kick in the daddy bags?

Very good post.

But dark and edgy seem to be the "in" thing now, since all the cool kids are doing it. <_<

I, too, expect a cheesy space opera ending, since Mass Effect IS cheesy 80's style space opera. Not some "deep and profound" (i.e. bullsh*t) pseudo-philosophical tale. But they tried to end it that way.

I'm just taking a guess that he's referring to the fact that the kid and the Guardian have the same voice acting.

Man, I can't wait!

I hope that's not the "Shepard is hallucinating the kid" again?

Read what I said a few post above. It's possible, but very unlikely.

Bug fixes, most likely. What it means is that the Origin customers pre-loaded the original game data, and then the patch was pre-loaded on top of that.

I've heard that the PS3 day-one patch is only 16 MB. Not enough to sneak in an ending worth being described as such. The 256MB update is probably to improve compatibility with various hardware/driver configurations, or what not.

Innnnnteresting. Can you elaborate more about how the file would revert back to it's correct extension? I'm just trying to understand more about files and codes when it comes to games.

I've heard this as well, and the limitations of the 360 patch would also imply that no additional content will be added in patch form.

[Ghost Rider LSOV]

Day 1 patch will be bug fixes. That's what I expect too.
The pre-load files are what everyone has. Digital Deluxe edition even has From Ashes DLC installed. The only thing not letting the game go is Origin checking the date.
