"We are sorry. We screwed up."
6 words.
Better than any clarification. For this ending, clarification only makes things worse.
If there's no new Ending DLC, only "clarification" and "epilogues" come PAX, will you be satisfied.

It would have to be the most epic clarification of all clarifications in the history of forever.

No.
There's too much that needs clarifying or explaining. Any DLC that seeks to do this- unless it is done extremely well and restores narrative coherence, character focus, central focus of stopping the reapers, and skillfully and carefully incorporates Shepard's decisions, characters' fates, and war assets accumulated - is only going to be greeted with the same reaction the original ending did. It'd be better, imo, (and easier, I think) to simply redo the ending than tweek it.
I know, I know... that wasn't a one word answer, so again I say:
NO!

No.
Bioware doesn't owe me a new ending. I've just made clear that I find the product they put out unacceptable and I'd like them to correct it. If they choose not to, I'll not be purchasing any more BW products. It's pretty simple. Because of the size and scope of the plot holes and shoddy writing in the last 10 minutes of ME3, I don't believe any amount of clarification will make me feel any differently about the current ending. So I expect I'll have a bit more money in my pocket over the next few years.

Yes.
a lot of people would have said yes a few weeks after release. This whole thing has just spiralled out of control. Its ridiculous.
completely changing the ending is stupid.
no, it's not
mass effect would be the best game series of our generation
the best sci-fi opera EVER made
and they screwed up really, really hard. I can't think of a worst ending.
They say they have to protect their artistic intregrity. I say that the ones who are protecting art here are us.
what you are getting rid of is ANY integrity that Bioware will ever have. But I mostly say dont change the ending because the foul taste of the original ending will still be there. If Bioware changes the ending (and it wasnt all planned from the start) it will be forced and fake. It isnt the original ending. It wont be the ending that it was supposed to be.
Clarity and closure is all that we need. Space magic isnt space magic if it is explained by in game context that actually fits in with the fiction. Hell everything in the Mass Effect universe wouldnt make any sense at all if it wasnt explained in the codex, whose to say this doesnt make sense?
all the ending needs is an epilogue, some codex entries, some end game text, some LI scenes, etc etc
Anything else would just feel...wrong

Nope. i don't think they can sugar coat the endings they've given to make them palatable to me.

Consider this for a second, what if their ending that they showed was the Legend of Shepard as being told by the stargazer. It could be thousands of years old and mostly fictionalized account of what actually happened, with really the three big things, apparent control/synthesis/destroy being what was interpreted by future generations.
They can go back and pretty much redo the entire citadel situation and still it would fall under clarification.
Bioware said they would not change the ending. So the best you can hope for is maybe a few cutscene about the Normandy and epilogue that will be retcon anyway in ME4.
Everything I wrote didn't change the ending at all, simply clarified.

No, I won't. Will it be better than what we have? Sure. But just because a shiny turd is better looking than a regular turd doesn't negate the fact that it's still a turd.

I have nothing against adding content unless that content acts as if the legit endings that have happened never did happen in the first place.

Maybe....and to the OP you should have made a poll.
