Am I the only one that thinks that, after reading this, the endings make a bit more sense now?

[Stu_Shepard]

This sounds awful. Just awful.

I sincerely hope it isn't true.

[aliengmr1]

Then why make statements that there will be no post-ending DLC? This was said after the release of ME3. I am calling BS. Casey Huudson claiming no post-ending DLC while post-ending DLC is being developed is much worse than over-hyping a crap ending, IMO. Its fake.

[Jae510]

This all sounds false and horrible.

[Zealuu]

Based on the stuff in the first post only, I dearly hope this is an elaborate troll. The proposed new party members for Mass Shift are just ... I don't know, mind-boggingly stupid. Actually, all of it is - but the party members are just so much condensed stupid it eclipses all the other crap outlined in the DLC and "Not Sequel".

[Lana Del Rey]

I don't know what to make of this. If it's fake, then someone invested a lot of time into making this. And if it is true, then how is this thread still alive? They would actually allow us to read this? Why?

[Nexis7]

Well imo it sounded great up until it got to "shepard is the catalyst" ****, and then it slowly decreased in value the more I read until I just felt deflated when i finished reading it.

Same here. I am really confused right now

[PsYGuY508]

So if this is true then...
The protagonist is Catalyst who wants to stop synthetics and is possesing shepard's body, along with EDI. Catalyst marries Liara. A reaped called Murmur who escaped the hivemind? Barely clothed volus, despite what lore says about volus no being able to survive on other worlds without suit. Prothean planet on the edge of Sol!? More action less plot. Hanar and elcor squasmates(this is actually good). Shepard survived re entry into earth. VS commits suicide. Choices still dont matter.

This sounds horrible. Who would want to play as the Catalyst and what does Bioware have against synthetics? What threat did synthetics pose on the galaxy? This is probably fake, but after the endings, I won't be suprised if it is real.

[TenmaTaro]

Um, how would 'Mass Shift' work if someone chose the synthesis ending?

Yeah as much as I hate to admit it this does put the endings in a new light but man I really REALLY hope that this is not what we are getting.

Well, I hope it isn't true because Mass Shift and this DLC sounds terrible. What's worse is that Mass Shift would end up robbing Mass Effect of whatever closure the DLC would manage to grant and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that the idea of that moronic, illogical, muppet of a VI (The Catalyst) becoming the protagonist of a new series makes me actually feel physically ill. Not only that, but continuing this stupid anti-synthetic idea even further when ME3 itself actually proves Synthetics aren't the threat the Catalyst thinks they are, is just as moronic. Don't even get me started on the idea of moving further away from an RPG and more towards an action shooter. I'm an RPG fan, I don't even play action shooters that much these days as I've started to feel bored with the repetitive nature of them (I dabble now and then, but nowhere near as much as when I was a kid and it all seemed fresh and new), so even if the rest sounded good I still wouldn't bother with that game.

On a positive note, if it's not a fan prank, the leak would likely cause them to make changes anyway. Either way it's likely this won't happen. Plus if they don't satisfy the fans with the DLC's now I can see the franchise ending before any new trilogy starts getting seriously off the ground (If the franchise part gets considered to be a negative thing rather then positive, they would probably just take the ideas and make them in to an unrelated game).

I can see why people would be upset with the direction but really, I wish people would read more carefully. It would not rob from the ending of Mass Effect. That's like saying KOTOR II robbed KOTOR of the closure you got in the original. If it did, it certainly didn't rob peoples enjoyment of either game as far as I know.

I actually find the idea that one of our protagonists could be used as a puppet to be an interesting thing to consider. I would prefer the Catalysts reasoning to be something different but if his original programming dictates that he stop the advancement of synthetics then it is natural to conclude he would continue his goal even with the reapers destroyed.

Regardless, it specifically mentions that a consideration is the director (Casey) does NOT want Shepard's story to continue pass ME3. The only approved version of that was that the next protagonist would be the catalyst.

You could also simply say EDI is the protagonist of the next game, basically. She's fighting for control in order to maintain peace between synthetics and organics. I'd assume a branch would likely occur when you have to choose which personality wins the struggle. If Shepard is being used as the body then Shepard would have an internal fight similar to Jade Empire, in which he can choose between the Catalyst and EDI. If not, then it'd likely be a choice determined by your morality and decisions.

I do miss my old school RPG's though...

I say, here's to hoping this thread gets locked down due to false rumors. But if there'll still be no comment until Monday's end...uhoh

Circular logic. If they are false rumors then there's no reason for the thread to be locked. It's still interesting fan speculation. If they are true, locking it would only draw attention to it. If a developer commented in a negative/positive way toward the rumors than it could prove troublesome for the developers down the line.

Commenting/Locking on their part is a lose-lose situation. They are far more likely to ignore it or say something along the lines of "We have nothing to announce about future games or content at this time".

Your logic is perfect in terms of pure logic. In terms of experience in this forum:
There was a lively discussion back when the N7 edition was first anounced last year in June, whether there would be another, bigger edition. It was going on for about a few pages, then (i don't remember the date) it was locked down by Chris with the comment, this was going to be the only collector's edition, so no sense in any more discussions.

But actually these rumors don't really matter, since it's not that long until we hear word on the new DLC in April.

DA2 being published before going alpha...that's odd...

Bioware will say it never happened. People will get mad, but they won't rly care.

if this was real then surely the mods round here would have remove/locked the topic?if there's an ounce of truth in these "leaks",then im seriously done with bioware,there's retarded as in the ME3 ending and then there's this.

Not true.  The endings were leaked a week before the game came out and it was never locked.

This is so fake it's not even worth commenting on, except everyone here is

Because for me its validity is irrelevent. It's interesting material to mull over and speculate on. It could be true or false and it would not change my outlook on it.

It's just really interesting.

I understand and appreciate that.  I love to read and discuss these too .

 However when it's put in the context of "This may be real" it's not equal to the rest of the, rather large number, of alternative endings floating around on these forums already.  For that reason alone, it should be given less attention than the others until it's officially announced... otherwise we're just encouraging people to try to make up elaborate forgeries.  S'all I'm saying.

It IS really interesting, and I could see how it would work... I also do think Bioware's releasing another game within 18-24 months based off the fact they're hiring "Lead Environment Artists" https://jobs.ea.com/...50000001F32iAAC and state in the posting they're 'currently working on Mass Effect'.  However, anyone doing a proper forgery would know this too, and craft their thing to follow that... also, if the original author is so afraid of EA, first rule of leaking is you don't give anything to identify yourself... a narrow field contractor for 8 years narrows it down to pretty much one person.. they'd be destroying their professional career.. no one hires people who can't keep their mouths shut about upcoming projects.

[Catroi]

If this is true then it's sucks balls...

[MSparkyPants]

This is just... horrific.
Oh god, please don't let this be true.

Correct, but they had already determined 100% that there would not be another version. It was locking it down because what they had announced was just simply, fact.

With broader ideas such as this even if they are entirely false...things change in development. Perhaps one, or more of these ideas, ended up in the game somehow? Well now Bioware locked a thread containing ideas that ended up in the game. No one is going to believe them when they say it came up as an idea later in development.

By drawing attention or commenting in a negative/positive way it specifically limits the development team as the story of their next game changes/developers. It's a small risk but for every thread full of ideas that gets locked the more ideas that become inherently a literal "Hot Potato". Use it and feel the burn.

In this case it's the fluidity of development vs the static nature of production.

They are relevent if only as something to speculate, consider, and analyze. "Something to do" as they say.

As for DA2 being in alpha. I suppose that would depend on your definition of alpha. It was definitely rushed. Wouldn't say it's alpha. Perhaps they polished an alpha version to make a complete game in 2-3 months *shrug*. I doubt even EA would push a game in Alpha out without some polish.

You people have no apreciation of real Art, sorry if this is not mainstream enough for your peasant brains. I cant wait to play this.

Bioware will say it never happened. People will get mad, but they won't rly care.

Basicly this. Since Shepard only "lives" in the Destoy ending, then there will be confrmation that it was the "true ending". I hope not because I personally like the Control Ending a bit better than the rest. If true then this would be yet another slap in the face. Your decisions don't matter. We (bioware) have a "canon" offical timeline.

[Keixi]

If this is real, things just went from bad to worse, imo. And really, you get to marry like everyone else, but Kaidan/Ashley are going to *kill themselves*? That's just a kick in the balls, seriously. The characters are a very important part of the game for everyone, so why screw over those who like Kaidan/Ashley?

[savaged49]

Sounds to much like a fan fiction, heck shep gets vaporized in 2 endings and in one of them the citadel isnt destoyed. Although it does link to that rumor of a rescue mission dlc on that planet and the importance of javik, but then again I dont buy it cause Javik cant play as important a role since he is a dlc character and all.

Its interesting and something are bound ot happen like the species fighting over the best ships so they can get home, the rest is to farfetched.

Just like every other game in existence...

There is one canon ending and the rest are all "up the player" endings that are only for him/her.

Ah yes, you said that.
