However, from what i've seen in the past few weeks, most of the passionate fans are people who have played all the games and follow all the lore, they just want an ending that makes sense, an ending that made you feel the choices and decisions you made in the past 4 or so years actually made a little bit of difference. You know, rather than watching some CoD playing teenager rush through ME3 on Action mode and STILL experience the same ending(s).
What bugs me about Casey Hudson's statements is that he seems to dismiss these fans, which IMO make up the majority of the Mass Effect fanbase, as people who are simply unwilling to let go of their story and move on.
But we also recognize that some of our most passionate fans needed more closure, more answers, and more time to say goodbye to their stories—and these comments are equally valid. Player feedback such as this has always been an essential ingredient in the development of the series.
It would have been nice to actually see what happens to your companions, but that was very low priority on my list.
I am not even a hardcore ME fan, so I don't care about saying goodbye to my stories... I just dont want a fricken deus ex machina to end a glorious 4 year campaign that even spans to multiplayer.
Maybe I am just misinterpreting his words, or maybe he is reading off a script his PR team made for him. The impression I get is that he is basically saying "Whaat? our fans didnt like the ending? fine... we'll release some DLCs next month to let them play their Shepard a bit more". But what Casey Hudson needs to realize is that the fans are not just simply unwilling to let go, they want a logical explanation to the conclusion that fits with the ME world, as well as paint a clearer picture of the future before cutting to the stargazer.
This is also my problem. I want to let go, I want to play something else and move on, but I can't, not when the current ME story is unfinished, and in the backs of our heads we are still unsure of what happens next after the galactic explosion. Anything that people try to "explain" is actually fanfic, because of the way BW intended the openness of the ending.
No doubt this thread may bring up the Indoc Theory again so I may as well say this... I still believe BW had considered that route, but now it seems obvious to me that our current ending is the actual intended ending, However the RetakeME3 campaign must force BioWare to bring out what they had originally intended.
