Yeah. I'm not paying for a DLC that clarifies something. I'll just read the wikia for that. And thus, if that's all it does, I'm not paying for any other DLC.

That is actually not a solid statement saying they are actually creating a DLC to fix the ending.

Hey guys, one thing I want to stress is to not make any assumptions until we are able to give you more information. Right now, anything about free vs paid is speculation only. I think most of you get that, but just want to stress it.


I do not trust you.
Delete your thread on the multiplayer thing and then I might.


This god dammit. This.

you know you can just join a game in MP and don't play while others carry you?

is a SICK thing to do, but some do it (to my uter dislike) and would sent your readiness to 100% before long (and people will hate you)...

That's not neccessarly fair to say.  I own ME1, 2, 3, and DA2 along with SWTOR but none are registered to my account here.  I am no less knowledgeable then anyone with icons under their name.  But I don't think it's very smart to write off a company that has shown it holds a lot of promise in the video game nitche.  It'd be like swearing off BMW because well the tires on your car weren't up to your expectations.  (ehh weak analogy my bad, it's almost the end of the work day, I'm brain fried)

[/quote]

I will also be signing off is this is not rectified. DA2 sucked, ME3 was the ending of Shepard. No more Bioware games in my future for a while.

I have to say I read Ray's statements and the other comments from ME sources as implying an explanatory epilogue not a rewrite of the ending. That is fine with me but I know there are folks who that will not please.

Every time I look at this thread, I think the title is deceptive. Adding additional content to address questions without altering anything does not sound like a new ending DLC to me.

That's even worse. Why did they start with MP at all? Just because other companies do it doesn't mean we, BioWare, a respected rpg-developer, should do it.

I guess its the _E_xtra _A_rtisticly way to do it.

That isn't the issue, there are still numerous people without constant access to the internet or xbox live in my case. It is a shame that I have imported a "perfect" runthrough of both previous games, achiveved the highest amount of war assets in ME3 and still can't get the "best ending". That goes completely against what was stated multiple times by Bioware employees about the additional of multiplayer. There is even a sticky thread that makes a completely false claim!!!

The ending is full of plot-holes though they shouldn't really keep it.

They haven't made ANY real promises besides the fact that they're aware that we exist and have grievances. We'll let up when they promise to rectify them.


Really? Because the co-founder of Bioware said this today

, Exec Producer Casey Hudson and the team
are hard at work on a number of game content initiatives that will help
answer the questions, providing more clarity for those seeking further
closure to their journey. You’ll hear more on this in April.  We’re
working hard to maintain the right balance between the artistic
integrity of the original story while addressing the fan feedback we’ve
received. 

Sounds like a promise isn't needed. Funny part is, nothing is really changing, they are just going to make the ending more explained for the ones who couldn't understand it and more closure to those needing an epilogue but the ending stays the same.. yay

Because a lot of people more so desire to play that sort of thing than those who do not as far as gamers in general. Majority vs minority something that gets thrown around a lot when suits the needs of those who want something and in this case recently about the endings how it is a majority that apparently want such fixed in some way. So like said in past, if you want your cake such as listening to the majorities then you have the consequence of them doing just that. The majority who they want to become future customers included in the debate, outcome and design decisions.

Personally I have no problems major ones with current endings, it is enjoyable to myself and I think most people know that by now if been here a while on the site and this section. I also have no problem with the multiplayer (I had concerns about it but by jove I actually find it kind of fun too). This does not mean I buy games for such elements but it did not damage or detract from my enjoyment of the single player game much having it present and I do occassionally play it for fun. The war assets thing was never a problem for me because I used a savegame editor and gave myself like 15k assets in SP to begin with so was fine.

It's hilarious if they can not pay it with the money they have already received, for what was supposed to be a complete game without the endings written by a Downs Syndrome-ridden monkey.

Don't go telling people such dirty tricks because it is annoying enough for those jerks who do that to begin with at current amount. So shhh you or I'll be forced to slap you so hard your head won't stop spinning for a week. :P

Joking aside, it honestly would be nice if they put in some extra code to kick anyone who has not moved for move than 5 minutes from the active match that is ongoing after the lobby with no experience or money gained.

WE KNOW! - THAT'S WHY WE WROTE THAT WE DON'T TRUST LEE!
(sorry for the big letters, but I am getting so fed up of explaining, both to devs what's wrong with several things and to other fans what's wrong with several things).

Yup. I'll get some help from my favourite writer:

I agree with OP. Myself, I will pay for the DLC, not because I hate the endings. As, I have stated in other threads I am fine with the endings, and have no problem with them or problems with people trying to change them. I will do it to support Bioware and the Mass Effect franchise. Same reason I bought all previous Mass Effect 1 & 2 DLC. Looking forward to whatever is next.

Yet some are still are angry and making comments like "Bioware is not the same anymore" or "Bioware are way to money hungry." PLEASE STOP THIS. Bioware does care about what we think or what we have to say. It is ONLY because of players constructive critism that Bioware now have plans to create future ending DLC. They plan to address people's concerns and bring closure to the story like many of us are requesting. 

So here's what I don't appriciate from people, direct attacks on Bioware, EA, or the players who infact liked the endings. That needs to stop. If this game and it's players and also Bioware bring out such anger from within you, then why are you still here? While I did not like the ending myself, I never once threw a tantrum and insulted the community.

On a different note, I do not believe for one second though that the DLC will be free. I would GLADLY pay for it. Not because I'm some blind fan boy who throw's money at anything called "Mass Effect," but simply because making DLC requires time and money. So hey, oh well I didn't like the ending, Bioware is trying to extend it for us, so here's another 10 bucks. I really don't care about it. I just want more Mass Effect content to play. Thanks for reading.

For those who are thinking I am making stuff up....

"Building on their research, Exec Producer Casey Hudson and the team are hard at work on a number of game content initiatives that will help answer the questions, providing more clarity for those seeking further closure to their journey. You’ll hear more on this in April. We’re working hard to maintain the right balance between the artistic integrity of the original story while addressing the fan feedback we’ve received. This is in addition to our existing plan to continue providing new Mass Effect content and new full games, so rest assured that your journey in the Mass Effect universe can, and will, continue. "

http://social.biowar.../index/10385157

While this does not specifically say "WE ARE CHANGING THE ENDING," it does however say that they are working on content to provide more clarity and further closure for those who seek more. Please have a little faith.

Second Edit : The title, I did not mean for it for to be deceptive and I'm sorry I you feel it is. I will not change the topic title though because it is true. Refer to my previous quote, Bioware is working on SOME TYPE of ending DLC. Nobody knows what the content will include but there will atleast be something. Again I nor Ray, or Casey say anothing about changing, only extending, clarifying, and answer questions.

In any case thank you all so much for replying to my thread and giving your input. Sincerly, The Kail.


You say you're not a "blind fanboy" but you clearly are. Something as integral as an ending or even the events surrounding an ending is not something that should cost users more money, regardless of whether it costs Bioware time and money to develop. You act like they're financially unable to develop future content unless they charge for it. How about they use some of the hundreds of millions of dollars they profited from the people who bought the game under the impression they were getting what was advertised?

Most games and definitely DLC are overpriced because so many people do just blindly throw their money away. And you are one of them.

How is it that things being clarified will make this ending better? I've gone through many speculations on how things turn out the way they did, and still I have not reached one conclusion that makes adds nor compliments to the story. There is no reason, explained or not as to why the Normandy isn't at the battle for Earth when Shepard makes the final choice. What the heck is Joker going to do? Flee somewhere and hide under a rock? Even Lando was against retreating during the battle of Endor because even he knew that battle was the Alliance's only chance at winning the war. And he was a bigger scoundrel than Joker!

If the original ending is truly the only ending we will be forced to stick with, I will respect Bioware's decision. It is their absolute right to keep the game the way it is, bugs and all, and move on to other projects. But for me, I'm going to say screw it and move on. No more Mass Effect DLC, books, comics, games or toys. I was a huge Mass Effect fan, but now all I just want something else. My two alternate Shepards in ME2 who have to understand will never be imported into ME3.

I would be willing to pay for ending dlc, requiring it features more than just an ending.
