Chew on this, folks:


@JessicaMerizan If only one of those implications wasn't that Tali was stranded on a mysterious planet w/o Shepard... 8

@Dr_Endless so choose red and go save her

All of her tweets are basically convincing people that anything could happen afterwards. We should be happy when we see Shepard somehow barely-alive, and his/her LI stranded on jungle planet without any technology, because obviously that infers a happy-ever-after ending.
..Right?

They still have tech, the normady planet could verry well be with in ftl range.

It would be cool if the conclusive ending could actually tell me what happened. If they want to imply that the crew isn't stranded, why waste all the resources to show them get stranded in the first place?

Okay, I'll go replay the game as a Vanguard so I can Shepard Charge my away across several light years to wherever the Normandy crashed. Can anyone give me the speed of Charge so I can calculate how many decades that'll take?

Oh right, must be playing the wrong game then.

Seriously man, what the hell are they trying to pull? Insulting

I don't for a moment think there are any other endings, this was a hallucination, etc. Bioware/EA is letting these speculations go on for two reasons. First, they are letting people vent. Secondly, they are weighing options.

Years ago, I worked for a PR damage control team and everything right now is going by the book. First, re-affirm and ignore (also known as doubling down), then try and define the detractors in the mainstream with things like "this is all a big mistunderstand", etc. while remaining civil in the hopes the detractors go rabid. Meanwhile go dark and use countermeasures through third part sources to prop up your position and brand the outcry as driven by hacks, haters or a minority trying to wear out the detractors on these outlets or "shock troops" while protecting the corporate core. Next, offer something distracting (notice SWTOR is free this upcoming weekend) known as the "faux olive branch"/ask the angry people to explain their concerns (without agreeing to commit to a compromise), buy more add time (definitely going on right now), and hope it dies down. If the pressure is still on, determine the economic viability of 1) ignoring the outcry and banking on the fickle nature of consumers to get over it or 2) determining if we can make money off of fixing it.

If it is any consolation, the decision whether or not there is a fix DLC, etc, won't be made by the writers so illusions to things they wanted to convey don't matter much atm (to wit: the leads comments yesterday). I suspect he's been called in and politely told by the PR guys to not do that again. This is now a corporate problem, not an artistic struggle with fans. Somewhere in the EA bunker, attorneys, PR guys, writers and brass are sharing numbers b/c in the end this will come down to hard currency.

As one who despises the endings, I'm hoping the suits tell the visionaries that the customers are loud enough and numerous enough to swollow their pride and get them out of this storm. For those that love them, I readily accept your position and respectfully disagree.

Yeah...

Could someone ask her if she has in fact played the game?

This!

Yes one ending has Shep alive. alone and mortally wounded without a crew coming....  apparently keeps Shepard alive any not bleeding out and has someone stumble across her(his) body.

You forgot to mention in the middle of the wreckage of an exploded Citadel which I'm faily sure would have no oxygen and nobody's gonna go and trawl through the wreckage considering there's more important things to be doing really.

My favourite part is that she literally refers to the ending as "red".

Like running away from the Citadel wards that are about to drop on everyone..

You guys do realize Shepard can live right?

In your imagination, obviously! Man, you Mass Effect fans are so dense sometimes. 

That's why we all paid $80 for this game. So we could use our imaaaagiiinaaations!!!!!!

Don't forget the surplus of medical supplies they have at that magically untouched hospital with the full staff of doctors (who aren't dead).

[Almostfaceman]

Don't get insulting folks, you single her out they're gonna point at the forum rules and lay a smackdown on ya.

[Walrusninja]

I believe that the "indoctrination/hallucination" theory is correct even if Bioware never fix the ending, purely because of the "Shephard back in London breathing" ending. No matter, what, that ending stands as fact. Thanks for the info tho Kor, appreciated, genuinely

  Even if she is a communituy manager at least someone connected to BioWare is referring to an ending decision by its' proper name.

Seriously though don't harass her according to other members she doesn't deserve it.

[MB957]

the happy ending is when Marauder Shields kills Shep...and LI...and you both get to sit around in Heaven...happy...never having to have seen the magic lights!

[ReclaimedHavoc]

I'm assuming she's talking about the breathing Shep ending.

"He survived! Use your imagination and the ending is just how you want it!"

No thanks.

Space magic, of course.

[gmboy902]

It's the ending where you romance Tali and stop playing after you convince the Geth and Quarians to work together on Rannoch. The end.

[ElectronicPostingInterface]

I can't use my imagination to rescue my LI without invoking space magic or ignoring actual events.

You reminded me about the rest of the  BS... also Shepard crashed with an exploding Citadel onto earth, was able to somehow survive this (also earth is not just GONE). Now she's going to brush herself off, shout "HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY" and hope she's a Vanguard so she can charge across god knows how far and appear there with her crew.

She doesn't know anything. Stop bugging her and flood Casey Hudson's twitter instead.

[Nobrandminda]

I keep reading her twitter page, and I get the sneaking suspicion she agrees with the Indoctrination theory.

Well i am an indoctrinationist so I think it is all in sheps head. But consedering most of the squad talks about 
beaches and  sun, bioware probably wanted to show there dreams fufilled. Even if it is kind of backwards
