I think this is fake. Didn't a dev come out and say somewhere around ME3s launch that, despite the Shepard breathing scene, there were no plans for a sequel? And that Shepard's story was over? Other things that make me think it's fake are - Where are Steve and Sam's conclusions? They can remember Javik, a dlc character, but not two of the love interests? What happens if you picked the Control or Synthesis endings?  If this is based off the Destroy ending, and it has to be because that's the only one where Shepard survives, how can it be that easy to replace Shepard's synthetic parts, and how did any Reapers survive? Why is this -

Kaidan/Ashley - Consideration: Introduction of eventual suicide plot
device? DX Note: No, not in DLC, save for Shift

- even worth mentioning if Mass Shirt takes place a thousand years after ME3? And, most importantly, if Mass Shift does take place a thousand years after ME3, how can it involve the same characters? Species, sure, but even Liara would be dead.

According to this leak we bring Shepard back, but it's not really Shepard and neither his LI nor his close friends clue into that even though some Shepards, like mine, encouraged EDI's organic thinking and are so for giving Synthetics a chance that they sided with the Geth because they couldn't justify siding with the Quarians? If you romanced Liara wouldn't she realize that Shepard isn't Shepard during a mind-meld?

The galaxy has been wary of advanced AI all throughout the games. That's why EDI being the ship and Joker unshackling her was such a big deal in ME2. That's why she had to pretend to be a VI before the Reaper attack in ME3. The Reapers were machines. A thousand years isn't such a long time in this universe that people are just going to forget their uneasiness.

I actually wouldn't mind that proposed dlc, though, as long as it's explained why the replacement synthetics still work. But I think the plans for Mass Shift would produce more outrage than the ME3 endings did. Thinking Shepard had a HEA and then finding out that wasn't even Shepard? After playing the original trilogy and getting to know EDI and Legion and uniting the Geth and Quarians, we have to play a protagonist that's actively trying to shackle Synthetics, if not outright destroy them? A protagonist wearing Shepard like a meatsuit? Yeah, I really can't see that going over well.

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.

There's also the possibility that it's from someone at Bioware but not in the job that's been stated, thus giving a false scent to the hounds (so to speak).. doubly so if the individual has a grudge against a person in that department for some reason. Just a thought.

What's better now, Indoctrination Theory, or this?

[Ravenmyste]

fake, sorry its totally fake look at how its written..

edi missing could mean that they choose destroy and or synthesis ending which would mean that she on the planet

control if this was chosen they would have the reapers to help them get back to there respective galaxies, since shep is in control of the reapers so there be no stranded people and those ships can in fact be helped..

and now we come to how sol war they wouldn't be a sol war for one there ALL stranded and the only place to go would be mars and or earth which both are alliance owned so no there be no war because alliance would want to help each other out on trying to figure way back if they didnt chose control, so yeah its fake..

4chan is really trying to brainstorm i see

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.

I give this more attention than the rest because I'm noticing a trend with Bioware leaks lately. People are apparently so dissastisfied internally that these are routinely being decried as false and ending up as true. Leak after leak after leak after facing the same backlash has been proven to be true.

In the end though this one is far more dubious than the previous ones based on a lot of factors. Some of which you touched on. So I consider the probability of factual information much much lower. Still, anything with even the potentional for factual information is more interesting to speculate on than completely wild conclusions.

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.

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.

Baldurs Gate 2 forced the cannon of BG1 to us and its considered one of the best games ever (and was also made by old Bioware)

Exactly!  They already established this a long time ago with "FemShep and ManShep" lol.

While I understand that the devs usually let healthy debate and discussion go on, they are usually pretty quick to lock and/or respond when it's someone directly impersonating an employee (or former employee in this case). Which is why the fact that this thread is still open fills me with dread.

There's a lot of reasons this is probably fake, but I'm not going to assume. I'd rather be fooled and pleasantly surprised than assume it's fake and be horribly horribly disappointed to find out it's not.

Why don't you give us a bit of background? Like telling us where you found that. Or just stop your trolling right now, because the people who have been on these boards for the past two weeks are tired of reading fake ending plans.

I found it on a website where even truths become lies once posted there (according to most of the people on these forums).

Oh. You mean 4chan. Why didn't you say so? The guy who (accurately) leaked LoTSB and Arrival posted there before too.

[Tootles FTW]

If true, this addresses two of my biggest issues with the ME3 endings: the Normandy & crew being stranded on some unknown planet (your LI included), and the stranded space armada being left to starve to death above and on Earth.

Unfortunately the Space Child remains as canon, but I can deal with that if they fix those two brain-breaking details.

[Ona Demonie]

Fake. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if it was real with the recent events concerning Starchild.

[Glitch007]

Hope it's not true, it's taking the series to a much darker place, which it dosen't need to go to. Pinch of salt...

Though the way the ending was constructed is still some of the worst possible writing, giving characters this kind of closure could heal some wounds.

The problem lies in the fact that said closure is coming in planned DLC nearly two months after release, if this holds true.

What concerns me more is the heartfelt message from this leaker about the state of Bioware. It really, really concerns me. If this stuff is true, that is a HORRIBLE work environment. I can't stand to support something like that.

Games always have a canon. They have to when other forms of mediums expand on the universe and new franchises are built.

Well, if this does turn out to be true, I'll be satisfied. I'll think it was a mistake to save the real ending for dlc while ending the main game on a massive and unsatisfying cliffhanger, but I'll be satisfied.

Who knows, maybe the feedback from this leak (if it proves to be true of course) will have them decide that Shepard ultimately survived; that s/he merged with the Catalyst instead of the Catalyst inhabiting Shepard's body.

That said, what this guy claims is disturbing.  That's a really oppressive work environment.

This thread is still going? Fun.

[Jules Rules]

If this is true I will gladly take my bags and go home. It sounds absolutely horrific - from the plot, to the name, to the gameplay.. everything.

Really hoping it isn't.

I'm partial to my earlier speculation (before the thread was updated with new info and clarrification) where the Catalyst goes into Stasis in order to allow Shepard's life support systems to keep him alive in a comma. Shepard is himself up through the end of ME3 and for some time after that. At which case, sometime before Mass Shift the Catalyst comes out of Stasis and begins taking control of his body or influencing it.

This gives him several years, at least, to retire and enjoy his time as hero.

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.

I agree.  If being possessed by the catalyst is optional via the original endings than this is ok, so long as it is NOT the only choice. 

Addendum:  I really hope life in Bioware isn't that hard.  The "lighting" guy made it sound preatty bad.
