Rewrite. An explanation simply doesn't cut it when the ending is this bad.

I was really hoping they'd bring back the story about that insane weapon which destroyed the reaper in ME2 and left a huge scar on the planet the derelict reaper was found orbiting.

A rewrite. I got it, I just don't like it.

[Zalajinn]

I actually think it would be much easier for them to rewrite than explain all the crazy stuff about the current ending the fans have been raging about.

[DemonsSouls]

No amount of explanation will make sense of the horrible writing, absurd plot holes, and complete and utter disregard for everything established previously in the Mass Effect universe.

Indoctrination Theory or complete rewrite.

Otherwise I'll just ignore the ending and imagine what happens when Shepard wakes up on earth myself.

So suppose that'd largely depend on if they'd ever planned to explain it in the first place. If they had planned to, it might make sense. I'm not one to say it wouldn't without hearing it, but as someone said, I wouldn't want to pay for an explanation. Especially if it turned out to be completely 'on the fly' just to patch a hole in a sinking ship.

If I had to choose between a rewriting or explaining it, I'd have to say rewrite. It would seem easier at this point.

Still, I harbor some faith that BioWare had some reason behind the entire thing. Not sure if I'd agree with it, but I can't know unless I see what they say.

Rewrite, the Starchild was just stupid.  Better yet, take the indoctrination theory and run with it.

[fle6isnow]

Explain. I'm in the minority here, but I liked the endings as is, and there ARE ways to fill in the plot holes. Heck, I've read some fanfics that do so spectacularly. And didn't Mac Walters say that there was supposed to be more conversation with the Catalyst Starkid? That's an easy way to explain things away.

Maybe in the explanation they can use this, saying that the weapon was an unfinished version of the Crucible. It's totally plausible.

Re-write. It's unpossible to explain all the plot holes at the end away with an epilogue. Can not be done.

[Jafryn]

At least a partial rewrite. There's no way to explain the current ending.

I doubt they'll do away with the magical god-child and his bizarre, arbitrary choices (unfortunately), but hopefully they'll give us some new options.

If they're really clever, they'll make use of the indoctrination ending and pretend like that was their plan all along.

[BloodySunset__]

Re-write.

[Lanay]

Let me put it this way - we've had pretty much everyone on these forums, from both sides of the fence, trying to find ways to explain these endings. And so far, apart from the theories that render all/most of the ending as something that happens in Shepard's head, none of us have succeeded. I have - or used to have - a great deal of faith in the ingenuity of BioWare's writing team. But if they can actually provide a satisfying 'clarification' to these endings, I will be legitimately shocked.

So, rewrite. Even if it's just to add in the option of telling the Godchild to stuff it.

(I should maybe also note that I would count something like Indoc theory as a rewrite, since it completely changes the context of events as they are currently presented to us.)

[Maglor07]

rewrite

[Alfa Kilo]

Either is fine.

[McScroggz24]

While I think the artistic integrity argument is very weak, I will say this: to completely scrap the ending would be bad. Change it so it makes more sense and is consistent, awesome; add to the ending for more closure, awesome; give us DLC to add to our SP experience and if applicable some content after the ending (doubtful) but awesome; changing the ending does devalue your artistic integrity and more importantly affects the video game genre as a whole which is scary.

[SystemsAlliance]

Definitely a rewrite. Any explanations, without some kind of rewrite will not suffice.

[Mixon]

rewrite or edit, mo metter, it can't be ended like this.

Yeah, people really stopped liking, and giving less artistic credence to, Fallout 3, and video games as a whole, after Broken Steel, right?

Re-write. Or they lose a customer.

[SamT3N7]

No re-write. If they are going to do anything explanation is fine with me since I'm ok with the ending. I support expounding, not changing.

I would be happy to wait 3-6 months for an entire rewrite to fix the plot holes and make sense -as long as they told us that is what they are doing.

[Nathan_41]

Either a straight up rewrite (preferred), or expanding beyond the canonical ending (such as by treating it as an Indoctrination/hallucinatory 'that didn't really happen like that' sequence) and then providing us with the 'real' ending.

Basically, rewrite or retcon. Bioware can't just give us the "Your choices are meaningless" scenario and then when fans complain give them a "Your choices are meaningless and this is why" and get away with that. That would just be rubbing salt in the wound at this point.

[Joccaren]

Prefer?
Rewrite.
Realistically?
Explanation and staple on extra options. I would be satisfied with this if done well enough, but I'd love a total rewrite. Its what I'd expect for $10, and I'd gladly pay that for it. Hell, call it an alternate ending pack and have an option in the menu to turn it on and off, and its not even semi-canon anymore, so its on par with the normal endings. The lovers of the normal endings will get their endings, we'll get ours.

[Meanfrey]

Rewrite.

An ending which needs to be completed by fans' theory and imagination? Come on...

Love your suggestion.  This might be a really good compromise.
