Seriously though, BW has clearly been listening, and even if they're not adding additional endings, they are trying to provide closure and clarification at the very least. Some people in here should probably wait for PAX at least before they get their knickers in a twist.

Well if OP's post is actually true, then I'm done with BioWare/EA - if they can seriously end what's arguably their best game series in such a bad way and be happy with it, it doesn't bode well for any "run of the mill" games they'll put out in the future.

And so, PAX, truly is crunch time...

Any DLC they release now would be pointless. What? We go back in time to help Aria retake Omega? I already finished the game. Arrival made sense to play after, the Shadow broker made sense to play after, Overlord made sense to play after, but nothing they release now will be worth a hill of beans if you already finished the game.

Not enough. Next!

What a disappointment Bioware turned out to be. It's sad how amazing they were before, they were the go-to developers for amazing RPG's whether it was in space with Mass Effect or in a medieval fantasy world with Dragon Age. I had so much belief that these people would never let me down, even after the disappointing Dragon Age 2 came out, I still believed Bioware would come through. And they did, with Star Wars, it was the first mmo that had such an amazing storyline tied into the classes. They really did things right with that game in regards to that, however there was something missing that just made me stop playing it all together (besides ME3's ending). Now they do this... with Mass Effect 3.

Such a sad end to a once great developer. Their reputation has been completely tarnished because of this... and they have most certainly lost a customer or two, including myself.

That's exactly how I feel about it. Pre-ending DLC is just dumb. We all know it was for nothing, so why bother?

This could mean one of two things: either they are going to release DLC to just clarify the ending and not honor the indoctrination theory or they will divulge that the indoctrination theory is true and give us expansion content to show us what actually happens after Shepard wakes up. Technically they are not changing the ending in that scenario. Leaving the ending as is and attempting to explain it without any post playable content is a disaster and the worst possible move they could make.   If they go with the explain only scenario, I'm done with this company.  I will not support a company that only cares about money and doesn't listen to its fans.

Doesn't seem like anyone noted the caption. Or it didn't interest anyone else? It says the DLC will be free.

[yahtzo]

Well I guess it all makes sense now. Release half ***ed text block clarification DLC and then claim "well ya can't please everyone lol" and be done with it. Its either that or ID theory is true at this point.

Are you bloody kidding me?

BioWare, the same BioWare that gave us KOTOR and ME1 and ME2, the same BioWare that gave us Bastila and HK-47, Alistair and Loghain, Mordin and Legion, gave us two fleshed-out original franchises and made even something as silly as Star Wars workable - and twice at that! - the same BioWare that wrote the endings of DAO and ME2, where all your decisions mattered...

...could find no better way to finish its flagship trilogy than a ghostly child who forces you to choose between three differently colored explosions?

When there have been dozens of better endings suggested by players on this forum alone, both before and after release?

Cut the crap, BioWare. You screwed up, now at least have the guts to admit it.

^this.

If it's Indoctrination Theory, I am fine with that, as it essentially scraps the ending anyhow making it all a dream.

I mean, Shepard having nightmares makes perfect sense!

Nearly all of the fan written endings I've read have been thoughtful, satisfying, and would readily be accepted as canon by me.

The statement is somewhat dated. Hopefully, things have changed.

I really hope Bioware is smart and realizes how this will go over. Even if they announce something really cool at PAX, the stench of the ending will make it nearly untenable for it to get much traction.

A friend was telling me he thinks the only think that Bioware would notice is a week long boycott of their multiplayer servers. I hope that's not the case.

[Lietuvis]

Well, if it proves to be true, i guess i will start downloading games from torr....ents instead of buying them, hell, i think i wont even start with dragon age 3, i guess im done with ea and bioware

[tenojitsu]

BioWare has until PAX to win me back as a customer. No more, no less.

I want to note that Daniel González is the Director of PR of EA Latin America, and isn't part of BioWare's studio itself.

Some PR rep' though.

This is pretty much what I expected them to do. I want the loose ends and plot holes cleared up, but I don't want to lose the original intent of the ending.

With that said, I would wait for a better source before commenting. It's only a few days until PAX.

The original intent was the Dark Matter-story.

The original intent was also 16 vastly different endings. (with closure, where our decisions matter, etc.)

Whatever we got now, like it or not, it's sure as hell not the originel intent. I've problems getting the intent of the current endings at all. It's bad, lazy and broken, there's not one positive thing to say, they're not clever nor well-made, it's amazing how they could produce something like that.

That a bunch of people give them thier own spin like IndocTheory, which in my opinion just it another sign at how hard they failed. If people have to wish away the ending, saying it was just a dream, that the storytelling is just f***ed up.

[Wowky]

It all depends on how you define "changing the ending"/"writing a different ending". Technically, having more stuff happen after the Citadel/Catalyst bit IS a different ending - the ending is now not what it was in the retail version of the game. But I can see why some people might think "different ending" means that none of the last ten minutes of ME3 happens at all now.

We should just all wait until PAX.

[Valdaka]

It all comes down to PAX really and what BW will say, after that......

[locsphere]

we will know after the 6th after that we will probably be sending all our games we own back snapped... these endings are the worst ever. Anyone who thought they were ok is an idiot

[Srefanius]

Well, this is what they always said. They respect the developers and writers, but do listen to the fans. So the only thing they can do is to let the current ending shine in a better light, so people can accept it. Whether this works depends on what the future brings...

[BobbyDylan]

In all honesty, leaving the ending as it is basically turns a revenue generating interlectuall propperty into .... well.... nothing.

I wont (And I'm pretty sure most people wont) be buying any DLC for this game, (or series) since EVERYONE dies at the end.
