They won't fix their garbage ending, we'll still have starkid, the god of space magic, forcing us into three different color choices, the galaxy will still be royally ****ed.

We'll just get a half-assed scene explaining BW's genius to us plebeians, so we can finally understand how deep and artistic the RGB bubbles are. I doubt they'll bring the VA's back, so it will probably just be some text, or an unvoiced scene.(like the original ending!)

If they did that I would literally regardless of if I failed or not, take them to court just for the mere ATTEMPT of doing it.

I would also write a damn letter to every single employee there in the public-domain registry.

Come April, I feel like we'll hear all about how well received the game has been, how the multiplayer will is "a bigger success than we could have imagined" and will become "even more robust through additional downloadable content," and that they are still "listening" to feedback as the retake movement slowly dims.

Or, translated, disappointment.

This.

No other Mass Effect game is released.

Not expecting much, but hopefully I'm wrong. If they screw the pooch again this time, it will have a silver lining - I won't be spending any money on DLC or any Bioware products for that matter.

Less speculation from everyone.

Lots of rage/disappointment from everyone.

I hope for changed endings, with the original ones remaining in so the experience isn't cheapened for those who want ~artistic integrity~.

I'm hoping for a final boss battle. Marauder Shields is a hero, but even he understands a Harbinger fight would be outstanding.

I'm hoping the changed endings to be free with a patch, with a paid DLC like Retake Omega released alongside it.

I expect to be extremely disappointed, jaded, and resolute in not purchasing any future BioWare products.

NOTE: All of this assumes the Indoctrination Theory or something like it is correct. There just seems like there's too much supporting evidence there...

My hope: The Red Ending, at least, should lead to continued gameplay that determines how the battle for Earth turns out. If you beat Reaper indoctrination, you should still be in the fight, right? I could accept that the Blue/Green endings are "losses", but in a best-case scenario, there's even stories to tell there as well... maybe your LI can snap you out of it, maybe your teammates have to put you down and continue without you, maybe they do like the one Dragon Age DLC and have you play as the enemy... But even if Blue/Green means you lost, Red should continue.

This doesn't mean Shepard has to live... sacrifice can still be a theme of the eventual ending. But hopefully they make it matter.

My fears: They won't even bother with cinematics. There will be some token static art screens with generic voiceovers telling us "Shepard went on to free Earth" or "Shepard went on to lead the Reapers to victory". And I will at that point no longer be a customer.

The damage has been done..... Three different BioWare development teams (DA2, TOR, & ME3), all of whom have yielded tragically flawed products.

I'll expect nothing going forward as it is obvious that my expectations have been placed too high. They're only human. At least that way I allow for the possibility of being pleasantly surprised.

This is what I also DON'T get.  How ****ing hard would it have been to put together some generic cutscenes set over music?  You wouldn't even need voice actors.

During the ending fight:
You could see the geth and quarians working together, the geth taking heavy casualties because you destroyed the heretics, the krogan being decimated because they have no future with the cure sabotaged, Jack doing her thing with the Grissom Academy students, Miranda/Jacob/Samara doing whatever they're doing, etc.

And at the end:
Cutscenes of what happens to everyone after you make the final choice.  Would it be really so hard to even show how things turned out a few years in the future? To show you the squadmembers and different cultures you've grown to care about, and how they're doing?  Nobody gives a flying **** about the grandpa and the kid.  Seriously.  There's no emotional attachment to them at all.

I expect epilogues, multiple, based on my choices.

Oh, and some useless multiplayer dlc.

Well see.

Best case is they bundle up all the DLCs they're working on now, and tell us they're releasing an expansion pack in a few months. Ideally this expansion pack will have a new ending and retake omega and whatever else people think is kool.

What's probably gonna happen is either a dumb 8 page comic that explains the control/destroy/synthesis choices and gives some backstory to the catalyst, or some kind of epilogue DLC that adds 2 minutes of post-ending text cards for each major character and event.

Worst case, the comic is gonna be priced as a DLC.

I just want to kill starchild at this point, that's all I ask. Or at least... yell at him, tell him to shove it, anything. The whole galaxy can blow but if I just get to fling him off the Citadel, then I'll be happy.

We'll probably get some BS of Bioware making Casey Hudson look like the second coming of the messiah (like in so many photos of him (specifically that pic of him looking up at the stars)).

I have zero expectations at this point. If it's free I'll download it. Anything else they try to shove in our faces to buy, I just won't.

I hope they will step up to the plate, swallow their pride and deliver. However, the cynic in me tells me that this is not going to happen.

There's a chance BioWare could actually address our grievances, but this is for more likely. Then again, the lost revenue might actually make them fix the freaking ending.

My hope is that they announce they're doing an expansion. But I don't expect that.

My expectation is that they do a DAO style prologue at least, and probably some "fill-in-the-blank" content explaining what went on with the Normandy and Joker. And you know what else? I think they may even add a happy ending, depending on their attitude towards this controversy.

I think the same thing every time I see him (except I think of him as Spock from the new Star Trek film) :P

I expect the decision in April on how much will be tweaked will come down to the heads of the company.

Mass effect is a very valuable IP and even though they say artistic integrity,...If the heads feel that not budging will equal low DLc sales or damage to other Mass effect spin offs then they will tell the designers/writers to fix it and make it so it shows we worked hard to show our appreciation for the fan base.

If they do something half ass due to not getting the budget they need then to me Mass effect IP is dead.
