If this is real, then I'd be done.

Shepard 2.0 can rot in hell. At this point, I'm not pre-ordering anything Bioware, but I may play it and purchase it. If this happens, I will sell my copies of ME1, 2 and 3.

[spz123]

Terminator DLC? Please.

Annndd right there it's fake. No way. Even if you hated DA it wasn't in Alpha. Do you know what Alpha is? Alpha is working models and some code and ****,

I have a sneaking suspicion you snipped a vital part of that. And yeah, Dragon Age 2 could've sucked even at the alpha stage.

I've played alphas with a storyline, it depends on the developer and what they're trying to accomplish, as well as the rate they try to accomplish it.

 If Shepard wakes up he/she should defiantly not be the catalyst straight away. I would suggest (If this is legit) that they work it as a gradual change. That way people get there happy ending for 'a time'. It would lessen a potential shi*storm.(If legit.)

'I'm neither Sheapard nor The Catalyst.I 'm the one who will destroy you.'

    Last night I leaked the only available digital details of Terminator and Mass
    Shift. After speaking with a close friend who is an attorney, I've decided
    to take the risk of of expounding.

    I am a virtual lightning technician who has been working for BioWare for over 8
    years now. I've been the sole creator of the lighting partitions of all of
    BioWare's engines and engine plugins in recent years. In layman's terms, I am
    a very specific kind of graphics artist.

    I am no longer a part of the companies in question.

    My reasoning for the leak was to draw attention to what BioWare has become. The
    company, for about 5 years now, has been dominated by EA Games' strict timetables
    and budget restraints. I'd like to express my continuing admiration of BioWare and
    the entirety of its staff--the most talented staff I've had the priviledge to work
    with in my career, which spans 19 years. My admiration for them is why I even
    bother to draw attention to the predicament that the company now faces.

    I am not a doomsayer. BioWare likely has a successful road ahead of them, but the
    money stops mattering so much when female colleagues get off the phone with EA
    upper management crying over threats of replacement. The success stops mattering
    when a dark cloud hangs over a team that is doing the best with the restraints
    that have been placed upon them. Nothing was more heartbreaking than the moment
    when Dragon Age 2, which was not yet in alpha status, was shipped out the
    door. I thought that was a one-time thing, but it is becoming clear that that was
    just the beginning.

    To the staff: Though you and I are both under contract, know that EA will not
    pursue you if you simply stand together. You are the most talented people in the
    industry and every publisher would be honored to have you.

>>    y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:41 No.2441074

    To the fans: Please do not be discouraged by what little PR EA allows to get out.
    You haven't spoken to BioWare, the real meat of the company, in over 5 years.
    BioWare is still full of people who love video games, who want to put passion into
    their games--but they are being stifled. Don't be angry with BioWare. Be angry
    with those who are stifling them. But your anger isn't enough. Speak with your
    money. It's the only language EA Games understands. I know it can be very hard to
    resist falling for pre-order and DLC ploys, but it must be done. Your forum posts
    and petitions are meaningless when compared to the simple dollar.

    --

    I'd like to clarify some things about the leak:

    - The leak is the content of a digital blackboard we have at the office. It's the
    first thing you see when you walk into Production. It's right next to our
    storyboards. Only the director and writers can edit the outline, but the entire
    team is asked to make suggestions throughout development. The outline always
    changes dramatically during development. Sometimes, major plot twists are totally
    changed, or characters are removed. Generally, the artists and the director have
    the final say. You may think that it's odd that artists have so much power, but
    throwing away completed models and other assets that have consumed a lot of time
    is frowned upon. If they've worked on something long enough, they are going to
    implement it somehow.

    - Like in most development cycles, the outline is relatively abandoned right now,
    replaced by the storyboards. But I can't exactly take the storyboards off of the
    walls and scan them.

>>    y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:41 No.2441101

    - Terminator is a post-ending DLC. It's been in production for months. Javik was
    originally from Terminator, but they bumped him up because they felt that ME3's
    cast was too small. Terminator is about the party crash landing on a Prothean
    planet on the edge of Sol, and then they have to figure out a way to make contact
    with the rest of the system and get off of the planet.

    - When they do get spaceborne, they return to Earth, which is gripped in a war.
    Certain species are demanding they be allowed to take the most advanced space
    ships out of the system, because Sol cannot support them. There is also mass panic
    because the relay transport system has been destroyed, and Sol's remaining resources
    are going to run out in less than a year.

    - Shepard has been found on Earth, but he is badly injured and in a coma. He was
    burned badly during atmospheric re-entry, and certain synthetic components of his
    brain were shut down. Chakwas is certain that if he ever awakens, it will be in a
    vegetative state.

    - At this point, it is suggested that Shepard's broken synthetic parts could be
    replaced with new ones. The party then splits up, and you go to three different
    planets/areas to find synthetic components that may be able to help him.

    - It is revealed that one of the valid components can be extracted from EDI. Joker
    allows them to do so.

>>    y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:42 No.2441128

    - Though still badly wounded, after the synthetic pieces are installed, Shepard
    finally awakens. He makes a speech at the Spacescraper (a piece of the Citadel
    that crash landed on Earth along with Shepard, now used as a center of
    operations) that ends the Sol War. After that, you get a unique cutscene based
    on who you did or did not romance in ME3.

    - This is not addressed in the Terminator DLC, but from the moment Shepard comes
    out of the coma, he is the Catalyst. Shepard permanently died during atmospheric
    re-entry. The characters and the player in Terminator are unaware that it is not
    the real Shepard, and this will not be revealed until Mass Shift, the spiritual
    successor to the Mass Effect series.

    - Mass Shift is not Mass Effect 4. Mass Shift will involve the same universe,
    characters, and story, but it will be more action-oriented. Space flight, for
    example, will be as intricate as ME3's combat. In Mass Shift, you will actively fly
    Murmur, a Reaper that is controlled by the Catalyst. Storyboards have not been
    drawn up for exactly how this will work yet, but when we came up with the initial
    concept, we were comparing flight to "Gradius III and Kingdom Hearts 2", and the
    relationship between the Catalyst and Murmur was compared to the one between the
    boy and the monster in "The Last Guardian".

    - Xy was actually going to be a DLC character for Mass Effect 2, but he was axed in
    favor of Kasumi, who was modeled after the sister of a staff member who kept baking
    the entire staff cookies. They're introducing him in Mass Shift instead.

y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:43 No.2441150

    - BioWare has been meaning to introduce a main character suicide plot element for some
    time now. They intended to do this with Kaidan/Ashley in Mass Effect 2, wrought with
    guilt over the death of the other, but this idea was discarded when the director felt
    that it would be too forced, and that players would feel as though BioWare simply
    killed them off so that they wouldn't have to deal with their character branches
    anymore.

    - Though the details are very sketchy at this point, Mass Shift revolves around
    the Catalyst (who now inhabits the body of Shepard), who seeks to prevent the
    galaxy from advancing synthetics. This pits the Catalyst against virtually the
    entire galaxy, which is quickly forgetting about the threat that synthetics pose.
    The Catalyst, throughout the game, will endure inner turmoil caused by
    his "other side" (EDI), who carries the belief that synthetics and organics can
    peacefully co-exist.

    - Mass Shift will feature more tactical combat, but with less cover. For example,
    Filbert, while slow on the battlefield, can create a sphere of biotic energy around
    himself that can repel a certain amount of fire. This will allow party members to
    stand around him to receive all kinds of interesting "buffs".

    - Other minor things have changed. For example, storyboards indicate that Asad
    Grim, Mass Shift's primary (but not final--he joins your team) antagonist does not
    wear a typical Volus suit. You will be able to see most of his body.

    - Mass Shift takes place about one millennium after the events of ME3.

    - Note that branching is the last stage of development. BioWare always begins with
    a canonical outline, and then adjusts the outline details to accommodate player
    choice in most scenarios.

y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:53 No.2441505

    Witch Hunt is a Dragon Age DLC. It caused an in-house ****storm because of canon
    issues. An employee quit over it. It's used as a reference for how to "correctly"
    deal with design plans that may interfere with player choice. It has nothing to do
    with Mass Effect.

    I don't know what Dragon Age: Return is, but Dragon Age 3 is codename "Redfish" right
    now. It's in development.

    This is the last you will hear from me. Bye.

Impressive. For some reason, I don't doubt this.

Because you don't want to. 4chan takes it's trolling to the xtreme. This is fake. It has to be fake. This abomination cannot be.

Indeed, a lot of the stuff mentioned doesn't fit with the story we got provided in ME3. I don't take this seriously, if I am gonna believe this, then I want an official statement... Other than that, I believe this is a pieced-together-troll-story

It's probably a fake, though in all honesty I could tolerate that ending DLC even if it sounds like it'll definitely require payment (thus sacrificing a whole bunch of customer good-will). A part of me kind of hopes it is real (even if by this point we've gone from 'the only thing you need to suspend disbelief on is the mass effect' to 'okay, we've got space magic, deal with it') because it sounds like it keeps the mass relays blown up but at least figures out a way to not f*** everybody over in the process.

As I said before though, either it's a total fabrication or the stuff about 'mass shift' will be unrecognizable in the final product because, well, first draft.

Of course, I seem to remember some interview where they mentioned the original dumb names for Mass Effect 1, so they've got two years to come up with a better one, apparently.

Wait...there are alternate titles for ME1? 

What was it going to be called? What were these alternative titles?

Oh sweet, so, our Shepards will become the main villian essentially... yeah... no... that wont ****** anyone off. Take a character away and have them come back like that? It would mocking fans at every step. I dont believe any of this. Bioware has made some poor choices as of late, but this would be astronomical..

Say what you will, I've saved all of this information and I'll be watching the course of the DLC and BW's actions. If I'm wrong, cool. I'm wrong. If not, then I'm seriously going to be laughing.

[DOUGEYEMASTER]

The sadest thing if it is true is that Mass Shift is basicly going to be Call of Duty in space. Lets hope this is a massive fake!

[Malchus]

....Terminator is about the party crash landing on a Prothean
planet on the edge of Sol, and then they have to figure out a way to make contact
  with the rest of the system and get off of the planet.....


Just so this is very very clear...


THERE IS NO OTHER PLANET ON THE EDGE OF SOL. 

If there was, it would be too far from the sun to be more than a barren frozen rock.

Also, it would have been discoverd by the thousands of ships that have passed through the area.

I don't trust this any farther than I could copy/paste it...

[Espurr]

If that's true... it's absolute ****. Like I said before: let Shepard die, or let Shepard be Shepard. That alone makes me madder than anything else, and is enough to make me want nothing to do with this.

Really hoping this is fake (or that one bit changed for the love of GOD), because otherwise I'm just... done. Don't claim this is the end of Shepard's story and then use him/her as a ****ing plot device for the next game. That's not giving closure to Shepard's story. It's the opposite.

The fact that a dev has yet to pop in here and confirm this as fake is making me fear the worst though. Come on, devs. Please?

[jess05]

Soafter reading that .. I think I missed something.
I got, no matter what choice you make (in current end) the outcome is the same.
Reapers Win, and Shepard controls them. The game contiues playing as the Reapers.

I don't know, man, were you there during DA2 launch?  The game crashed constantly, various spells lead to the game crashing every time, most of the character sidequests simply didn't work, the game's "high" graphics setting didn't work, a lot of the quests throughout the game were just broken.  My favorite moment in DA2 was when Aveline was in a cutscene--except she wasn't in my party, and she wasn't there.  She was in the cutscene, talking, and the camera kept panning to her, but she.. she wasn't there.  She wasn't in my party, she wasn't in the cutscene, but she was in the cutscene talking.

Maybe the console versions were a bit better, but the PC version was a huuuuuuuuge mess.  You had to specifically run the game in Direct X 8 if you didn't want it to lag uncontrollably.

Though Mass Shift isn't totally horrible. It could even play into the story - 'mass shift' tech needed to travel the galaxy 1000 years after the relays went boom.

Sounds pretty damn awesome to me.

And that comment about "Dragon Age 2, not even in Alpha, shipped out the door"? That's either a) Total hyperbole or Utter bull****.

EDIT: I would totally play Call of Duty in space. Just sayin.
