When asked what his favourite moment of the trilogy is so far:

'I have to say when I saw the final hour-ish of Mass Effect 3 come together it was something that, having written much of it, whether it was just the emotion of it - I've been on the project for 8 years now - finally seeing it wrap up and tie together and having a chance to say goodbye to these characters; the sense of wrapping it up in a way I found personally very rewarding and fulfilling.'

i'd like to play the game he played, sounds like a good one. Last one i played severely disappointed me in the end

Sign me up for that game.

I wish he would just stop. He already said it was a rush job, now he is trying to back track.


He thinks we are stupid.

Does BioWare even know what the fans want? Do they know them at all?? What the hell!

BioWare, you provided 2.9 fantastic games but that .1 was an enormous failure. Mac, you seriously need to do a re-check of who and what your fans are all about. We are absolutely NOT on the same page.

[AwesomeDudex64]

Obviously they've been disconnected with their fanbase.

[xiaoassassin]

He's bull****ting himself. Same reason Casey said there wasn't gonna be no A, B, C endings.

[BigBossBoo]

 

'I think it will be less about what I want and more about what the fans want.' This is the end of Shepard's story so I think for a lot of the characters, if not ALL the characters and everything that's happening in the current timeline, this is the end.'

'To go back and re-tell that in some way I don't think would work. 

'Nuff said..

I guess he says what he says to keep EA management and investors happy.

Every day I see these new quotes and I keep wondering if BioWare accidentally shipped the wrong endings to the game and has never bothered to see what all the fuss is about...

Yup. I'd guess he'd had enough and decided to torch the series and give the finger to the fans.

This. I think they made this ending to be released at april fools or something and someone thought it would be funny to change the actual ending to this one.

[Warlock Adam]

...you're s**ting me.

This is the part where Mac Walters gets compressed into a garbage cube and vented out Zaeed's airlock, right?

Right? Wait, what's that, Bioware? This is for real?

Well...then can you compress ME into a garbage cube and vent me out Zaeed's airlock?

Sounds like the people who write Bioware/EA's PR circulars are a completely different group fromt he ones writing the game. It sounds like Mac Walters was busy writing the real ending while someone scribbled his name on the statement in the OP.

I like the comments about the future being limitless and wanting to be back in that world. I think being back and trying to do anything within the ME universe now that it's plunged into a space travel dark age with starvation and death everywhere would be a very bad thing indeed.
Either the writing team literally went insane back in November or someone accidentally loaded the joke endings into the master copy of the game just before release.

I am surprised no one has lost their job over this so far.

[I...AM...KROGAN]

Is it really too much to ask for the ending to make sense? Just a little? That's all we fans want, Mac. That's all.

Public denial is like trumpeting the illicit relationship - everyone can see it, and all are scratching their heads as to why it was done

This ... this is just nuts. Please tell me this is all an elaborate practical joke.

[ElectronicPostingInterface]

Somehow I already forgot about this extreme trolling Thanks for the bump.

I think that Priestly's and Mac's views are probably the near universal kind...

[Midarenkov]

Those quotes physically hurt me.

 Hey guys

Just reading an interview with Mac Walters in 360 Gamer magazine and thought I'd share a few relevant quotes with you. Take into account this was likely done before the endings backlash.

When asked what his favourite moment of the trilogy is so far:

'I have to say when I saw the final hour-ish of Mass Effect 3 come together it was something that, having written much of it, whether it was just the emotion of it - I've been on the project for 8 years now - finally seeing it wrap up and tie together and having a chance to say goodbye to these characters; the sense of wrapping it up in a way I found personally very rewarding and fulfilling.'

'As a writer you always worry on something like this, and certainly as a trilogy you worry did you do everything you could to bring it to this satisfactory finale and we came away feeling 'yes I'd love to be back in that universe' and 'thank you for ending it properly'.

'Having seen it come together I was just like 'wow'. I was so emotionally moved by it but I could also take that deep sigh and go 'Yeah, we did it'. We did everything we could anyway, and to me it's one of the things I'm most proud of'.

When asked where he saw the trilogy going from here:

'I think it will be less about what I want and more about what the fans want.' This is the end of Shepard's story so I think for a lot of the characters, if not ALL the characters and everything that's happening in the current timeline, this is the end.'

'To go back and re-tell that in some way I don't think would work.'

'Who knows about the future? I can't talk about it too much because I don't want to give away the endings but it really is kind of limitless. And the passionate fans that we have are always going to want to see something happening in this universe so I can imagine there will be something eventually, but this is definitely the end of SHepard's story'.

When asked about the science of the game being plausible

'From very early on we wanted the science of the universe to be plausible. Obviously it's set in the future so you have to make some leaps of faith but we didn't want it to be just magic in space'. 



So there you go. Seems like the endings were possibly not a rush job after all, but actually deliberate?

Here's the website for the magazine but the review is only in the hard copy I'm afraid.

Thanks for sharing, so we have a quote somewhere about it not being an A, B, or C ending and now a quote about Space Magic... this... lol... this is truly ironic.

Well, Mr. Walters, can't say I agree with how you wrote the ending. You should have been a lot more careful about how you end something that a lot of fans have paid over $200 and countless hours to get to. Sorry, but according to fan response, you really missed the mark. Let's hope you correct your mistake.
