Speculation for everyone!

Why doesn't everyone just chill until April?

If it turns out to be Indoctrination, the "I told you so" threads will go on for months. I know I plan on starting a few.

I think we should start taking bets and get a pool going, personally.


I think I'll just get drunk. Seriously this puts my entire perception of reality into question.

Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected." - Sun Tzu

Time to organise for PAX on the fan-side.


You know you're kinda boned when you're calling the same people you're trying to convince to create more gaming content for you, your 'enemy'.

Not really helping.

Lets invade PAX bathrooms, they are not going to "release" until they "release us" a better ending.

Lots of speculation from everyone!

Apparently, even the people who work for EA/BioWare.

I hope every single one of the Indoc. theorists and "the ending is not complete" people get to say "I told you so" in April. Really. Because there would be nothing cooler than the unreliable narrator take on the ending and it would make everything make sense in the world again. Even so, call me Thomas the doubter, but I will wait until I see it.

 So, in other words, we were sold an incomplete game intentionally? As much as I hate to say it, that's what these statements are sounding like if we're talking about end-related DLC.

I will not be upset if they choose not to go IDT

I will be upset if what they choose in place of IDT sucks..

I will only know how upset or not I will be after the announcement.

It's a direct quote, I wasn't going to take liberties. But to clarify, what I am saying is that if PAX is the only real opportunity to receive direct answers from the Devs and lay concerns to rest. We should probably have an organised approach.

Take what you want from it. I realise it's just a game, but asking direct questions here on the forum or on twitter is not getting any responses.

Hell, I'd be upset either way as I dislike the idea of the game shipping with an intentionally incomplete ending.

That's a sound strategy, and the one I'm going for as well.

April needs to hurry up and come along so my fears can be confirmed and I can lay my relationship with Bioware to rest.

Mr. Priestly,

Your company is perpetuating a public release nightmare. You are losing fans by the day. We are not asking for immediate change, but a plan of action or cessation of ambiguous statements from the company would greatly be appreciated.

I sincerely hope, for your sake, that this is not an ambiguous ending (indoctrination theory or not) to sell more DLC.

 People are reading the wrong thing into this. We have always had DLC plans for ME3. We said so long before launch. This is not news as ME and ME2 had DLCs.

This is not a comment about "endings" DLC, just DLC in general.


:devil:


So, it still says that you aren't changing things, don't care at all about the IP or the fans, and we can all give up on your company and go home now?

You mean you didn't go out and do that immediately after you finished the game?

Hopefully not at a bar, though. Those places are slaughterhouses disguised as nightclubs, I **** you not.

True. But a lot of fans have kind of put off being completely upset with the endings, because they have banked it all on being this genius twist ending by BioWare.

And if it comes out it's not that, I think the amount of fans already mad (which is a lot) will get even worse. I really don't know why they can't just say it's NOT Indoc, if it's not.

Lots of speculation i guess. :lol:

Why must you crush our hopes and dreams? Even if we were wrong, why not let us delude ourselves with our fantasy. We'd be happier that way :(


I think I understand what you mean by this post clearly so what I have to say isn't target at you.  I wish BW was a little more upfront about what they wanted to do with the core ME3 game that was released so the fans had a proper set of expectations going in.

Then again maybe this is what BW wanted for some reason.  We see sometime next month I guess.

Don't invade, lets bring them cookies! Oatmeal cookies, and use food coloring on them! Then we'll just stack their table high of cookies if their big announcement isn't about handling the endings.

Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, the ****storm will be large and unstoppable if it turns out the indoctrination theory isn't true and we really are stuck with these endings.

Speculation, speculation everywhere!

And this is why we're not going to get a good ending, IMHO.
