After the last few years some BioWare fans, like myself, might have lost some of their faith in the company. I'm not giving up on them but not sure just what to make of them either. I can't image I'm the only one in this state of mind so I'm asking the board what would break, make you give up on them, and what would make, completely restore your faith, BioWare for you right now.

For me...

Make
At least three solid DLC packs on pair with Shadow Broker but this time bring in the voice actors for teammate chatter. One of these DLC packs needs to address the ending in some way even if its not the main focus of that DLC pack. I realize a 4th ending or rewrite is probably out of the question but closure and context isn't and it's desperately both needed and wanted.

Break
Not fixing galactic readiness. People were told they didn't need to play multiplayer for the best ending many times but it turns out you cant get the needed 5000 without it. This is not a subjective problem like the endings and it needs to be fixed. If they can't stand by their word or even apologize then I can't be a fan anymore. And charging for this would be inaproprate to say the least.  Also no lackluster DLC packs that feel more like cheep addons than content on pair with the rest of the game. Kasumi is a good exsample of this. Her mission was good but her and Zaeed felt out of place in comparisoin to the rest of the team

Does it matter? They obviously don't give a rat's ass what we/want think, they just wanna cash in on the franchise before it's popularity tanks and then bolt to another one. It's what EA does.

Break
"Forget Mass Effect, we have this new amazing game in the works"

Make
"We give all fans one hundred million dollars"

Seriously though even proper free ending is not exactly going to "make" them. Atleast it would show they acknowledge something and can perhaps deliver later on.

Make: Free DLC with an ending EXTENSION that can be used from every current "choosable" ending, that will have an effect based off of what you chose. This will also include other playable races for MP.

Break: Same thing as above, you just have to pay for it.

Make -

DLC that adds ADDITIONAL ENDINGS to ME3. Bonus points if the Earth mission is entirely rewritten to incorporate our accumulated war assets in a fashion similar to the suicide mission OR if the indoctrination theory is expanded upon.

Break -

DLC that simply clarifies the current endings without providing additional endings.

Make: announce in depth single player DLC that adresses the ending and is free

Break: "Hey look! Multiplayer DLC! A new map! Some more guns! Yours for just £7.99!"

... Seriously, I wouldn't put it past them at this point -.-

Make:
If they remade ME3 entirely again. (Not lying about this)

Break:
If they announced DA3 and it ended up like ME3. (Autodialogues, same ending, half assed work)

At this point, I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to pre-order DA3.

Dragon Age II had me somewhat dissatisfied but I told myself "yeah, I see what they were going for" and "hey, they were trying something new rather than a retread of the old" but the problem was that I didn't really want to play the game a second time to see what happened.

When I played DA:O, I played it through 4 times with four different characters because I wanted to see how different things happened, different romances, different nuances, different asides being given by bystanders... DA II? I didn't beat it a second time.

When I played Mass Effect, I beat it, then I immediately started up New Game + and I beat it again. And *THEN* I realized that I needed to play it *AGAIN* as a renegade this time to see how *THAT* worked.

I imported both of my characters to Mass Effect 2 and the pattern repeated itself.

Now? I think I'll wait to see what happens with DA3 here, on the forums. Dropping $60 on Day One? Twice bitten, thrice shy.

Make - leave endings as is, explain ending for 'fans' so they can move on with their lives. and give us awesome story/mission/mp maps or modes DLCs.

Break - kneel to these 'fans' change their endings for them. Waste DLC on weapon packs

---Make---
actual admitting fault for the ending (rather than the artistic argument) and the EMS not being obtainable through SP only and apologies for lying to fans regarding ending and MP not being essential

---Break----
Charge for the ending, Not fixing the EMS level,

as it stands they are alreasy broken for me, I won't be buying any DLC or any new games until someone I trust assures me it's good or it goes pre owned and cheap enough that I don't care about it being dissapointing

Make, either one of these will do:
-A free or very cheap (below 5 euros) DLC that completly removes or at least fully remakes the ending, starting from the "marauder shields" part.
-A free or very cheap (below 5 euros) DLC that goes along the indoctrination theory and adds the actual ending after selecting "the red ending" with about 15-30 minutes of game time with scenes of closure like blue kids with liara, tali's house, beach sunset with garrus, thane's grave visit (he was dying remember?), etc...
-A free or very cheap (below 5 euros) DLC with extra endings that don't include the Catalyst.

Break: none of the above.

I'm still hoping and waiting for this whole mess to be fixed so i can actually purchase the game (i try to be a responsible consumer).
Is this realy hard to do Bioware?: http://i.imgur.com/Mqo72h.jpg

EDIT: Fixed for no spoilers.

This one.  I'm closely watching what happens with this, and it'll be the deciding factor in whether or not I'll be supporting Bioware in the future.

Make:

- Admit to the lies that were told.
- Those responsible for the "ending" to commit seppuku.
- Make proper DLC.
- Make DA3 awesome (not like DA2).

Break:

- Ah yes "horrible ending". We have dismissed that claim.

Nothing you're living in a fantasy world if you don't think a company won't dissapoint you once in awhile.  I was hoping for a real Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic sequel but they made a MMO instead. Neverwinter Nights is a crappy game things dissapoint you in life. Just focus on the stuff you like from them.

To all the people who basically said...

Make
Something that will never happen. (Like free content DLC)

Break

Nothing, they are already dead it to me.

Why are you still on the forums then? If you didn't have any reasonable expectation for them to redeem themselves to you why still come to the forums?


And for this one....

That's just plane naive. It is fine for one bad game here and there but these last few years have been a definite change in how BioWare makes and markets its games. I'm not saying it changed for the worse and I am not giving up on them but they have changed enough that I need to re-evaluate my opinions on the company. How they handle the DLC for ME3 is their last chance for my opinion of them to be good.

Break: Everything else, I guess.

Make: Admit the faults with the endings and agree to change them or at least expand on them.

Break: Relying on "Artistic Merit" or "Integrity of the product" in order to justify not changing the endings

If they fix this ending in some way (and these minor things here and there in some patch), that will make or break them for me.

I honestly think you and the retake people should probably just move on. I don't think Bioware/EA seem to be making you happy with their products anymore and there is alternatives out there. This way the social network can get back to the small community it was without all the negativity that these people bring.

End of day, if you don't enjoy something, just go do something else.  Life is too short.
