I don't think I'll be buying any DLC.  The story finished, and I don't like how it ended at all.  I loved my entire experience playing it except for the ending.  I don't think I've ever felt so betrayed as a player.  I can't see any DLC fitting into the experience.  If you make it during the main story, it's meaningless because I've already reached the end.  If you make it afterward, it makes no sense because Shepard is dead, the relays are gone, etc.  If they do a retcon and make a different ending, I'll watch it on youtube and feel slightly better.  But I'm not paying money for it.

[...] just a little disappointed in the lack of information about what followed in the universe after I made my decision. From a writers standpoint, Bioware still has a lot they could work with with the story with the future DLC and they even stated as much (especially if the rumor that the given ending was simply a hallucination as many of the threads on here state). Mike Gamble, Mass Effect's Associate producer, was quoted as saying "Hardest. Day. Ever. Seriously, if you people knew all the stuff we are planning...you'd, well - hold onto your copy of me3 forever." after he saw the reaction to the games ending on the forums.


I guess that's the main point but, after so amazing stories, can't understand how and why Bioware didn't thought about what people might read, or not, on the endings..., many ways to interpret them, halucination, indoctrination, a simple and sad choice......, and destroying the mass relays... :unsure: .. dunno, but with more info maybe some people
(even myself) could bear and accept those endings, or maybe not.

PS:and about the boycott..., I'll wait to see how evolve the weeks to come

Same here. Won't buy another thing from BioWare unless they change the ending.

This thread needs to create a poll, so the 20 000 people who voted for a new ending can inform Bioware theyre forgoing a nice amount of money.

After how disappointed I was with SWTOR, and being so disappointed in the ending of DAII I had planned on making ME3 my last chance redemption for BioWare, this was strike 3 for me. No plans to buy anything from BioWare, especially DC.

I will be buying whatever DLC they are selling. In my book they have earned my dollar vote with the masterpiece that is ME3, every cent of it.  I hope there are enough others like myself to counteract this backlash to what I consider a masterpiece.  Yep, that's selfish of me.


It's getting a lot more positive feed back on twitter then it is here, thats the problem with forums, they are usually populated with people who mostly only have negative feed back and a large population of the fans of the games the forums are for don't even ever use or graze over the forums.

Anyways, I'm right there with you bud, this game is a masterpiece from start to finish.

I will be Boycotting everything Bioware or EA, Including ME3 DLC till they fix the endings.

if you want your voice heard louder got to my blog which I have a link too in my Sig , click on my ME3 review and click on the links to my polls.

1. would you Boycott Bioware if they don't fix the endings
2. do you believe Multiplayer should have no impact on the single player campaign
3. Facebook Campaign demand better endings for ME3

I'm not buying a single piece of DLC for this game unless we get the endings we deserve. And this is coming from someone who bought all of the ME2 DLC.

I didn't really want to create a poll as I didn't want to take away from the polling efforts already in process.

boycotting Me3 dlc will be extremely easy as the endings made any dlc completely unappealing and pointless



/\\ this....I refuse to buy any dlc that's not ending correcting dlc.

So, any future dlc purchases from me depend solely on Bioware rectifying the endings. To quote my man riddick, "When I say goodbye, it's forever!"

Haven't said goodbye yet (depends on Bio), but I'm darn close.

I think the main problem is the general inference anyone could get from the writing of the end is that BioWare said goodbye first.

I won't be buying DLCs either. The endings or... at least let choices matter. Killing Rachni Queen => no Rachni or something like that. This would have delighted me. But instead nothing I did mattered. The game corrects itself. Well only the Old Blood decision.

I really feel ripped of. It feels like not a single thing I did in ME1 or ME2, mattered.

The endings could feel more final. You don't feel like you have achieved anything. Unlike in ME2 when you fly away from the collectorbase. The entire series could have ended with that.

I agree with O/P and this is already my plan. For what it is worth, I will almost certainly be unsubbing from SWTOR -- even though I am massively enjoying that game. I hope they send and exit survey so they can understand why I feel passionate enough to punish their studio to get at the larger company.

Also, I can't imagine playing a 'fixed ending' DLC -- even in the unlikely event that it was free.

The reason being is the Devs are extremely proud of the game as is...any changes to the ending would only be coming because of the pressure of fan backlash. Thus their hearts would not be in it, and likely they would sabotage it to the point where it would be worse than what we have now.

I appreciate the developers efforts all the way up to that last 20 minute stretch. They should be proud of what they accomplished with ME3, I think its a very good game.

But the train went completely off the rails at the end. It didn't just make me angry enough to close my wallet, its literally put me on the fence about uninstalling all three Mass Effect games and deleting all my prior saves.

I'm not saying the developers shouldn't be proud of ME3, but when your chosen ending evokes that kind of emotional response, you might have potentially made one mistake that could cost you an entire franchise.

Its really not about 'boycotting' the DLC, the problem is that any DLC that doesnt involve improving the endings would just be meaningless, since the point of playing the game is getting to the happy ending you've been looking forward to throughout the series. Since you can only get some variation of a terrible ending, there's no point in playing, therefore there's also no point in getting any DLC that ultimately leads to that same negative result. Once we have the ending that we need to motivate us to keep playing, then we will happily buy whatever DLC is available. Thats how I feel about it.

And yes thats largely what my issue is.

I feel BioWare just signed off on the entire ME franchise with the ending of ME3. There is nothing that could motivate me to be further engaged in the galaxy because everything I did got flushed down the toilet of bad writing and scene decision making in 20 minutes of what was, otherwise, a great game.

But this 20 minute period is so noxious, so pervasive to the entire ideal of what Mass Effect has meant in my head that its literally poisoned any motivation to replay any of the games in the series. To import any of my unplayed Shepards into ME3, to have anything to do with any "pre-end of the game" DLC they release.

You didn't just end Shepard's arc here, everything just ended. The "Mass Effect Galaxy" isn't even viable as a galaxy any more, anything added to it is simply salt on that wound.

I'll probably buy all the DLC that's gonna be released for this game. You might call me, a collector?

Badum-tish.

If they made a free DLC that alters the ending in good faith to prove to their fans that they're listening and understand the outrage, I would absolutely buy DLC after that. I never ever buy day 1 DLC, but was enjoying the game enough that I actually considered breaking my own rules and getting the Prothean thing for a second playthrough. Not anymore. What's the point?

^This.

I doubt any DLC will change the bad taste the ending left in my mouth. The entire thing felt like it was done to prevent us from wanting to go back. After finishing the game, I felt like all my time invested in the game didn't matter. Knocking out every side-quest I could find didn't matter. I was dead from the second I booted up ME1 back in '07. I won't be spending any more on a franchise I really did enjoy. Maybe I'd play a free ending re-write DLC, but that DLC would need to be oscar worthy for me to dump another cent on this game.

Such a shame, too. I really did like Mass Effect.

I refuse to buy any DLC. Any DLC that fixes the ending should be free or screw it.
