Ms Hale has made it clear in the past that she doesn't play Mass Effect. I don't intend to insult her one bit, but it seems she may not know every detail of the story, in that case. Who knows, though. We all just have to wait and see what happens

In addition, if Ms Hale has been recording for an Ending DLC, she sure as heck wouldn't be allowed to talk about it!

I will personally wati for longer than a month before deciding no new endings are comming, becasue from what I've seen from bioware compared ot other corporations, they are mvoing faster to adress this problem than any other company I've seen.

Really? Because to me it seemed like a month of double talk and stalling. Oh and don't forget "no negative feedback please"

If there won't be a new ending DLC announced at PAX, well... then BioWare is dead to me.

trust me, companies who make products that get customer complinats ususally take months to take action. In fact, the more important the fix or recall, the longer companies seem to take. I remeber one story where a bunch of childrens food was recalled after they discovered a large amounts of toxins like arsenic was in them, about 8 months after they first knew about it.

So yeah, bioware saying that they are actually going to be announcing things and actually communicating with the fanbase rather than directing them to robocalls and endless transfer call centers is a real step up from the usual dead silence.

Or to everyone saying no new endings, they could have just not contacted her yet, since writing, storyboarding, designing, rendering, and building new content takes time, and they don't want her to start reading lines before they even have the lines written.

Because god forbid getting a reaction this bad to endings they thought were good and frantically trying to fix them take longer than a few months.

Good point, though I really don't think they need fan feedback for a new ending.
They created a story that is 95% brilliant to acceptable and 5% narrative horror, and that was only because it was an ending written without the input of the writing team.

Fan review is not required. Peer review is.

Of course they need fan feedback. If they didn't have fan feedback, they would still think the endings were great and everyone was happy with them.

They also need specifics on what we don't like about them, and why. That way they know what to fix.

What they don't need is "... then Jack comes in and says 'F*** YOU!' and then she shoots this massive biotic blast at a reaper as it comes down on Shepard, and it blows a hole in the middle, then Grunt comes up and...." I've written my own take on the ending, as more a cathartic exercise than to try and give them ideas. I'm not sure that I would want them to use them, since I play games to see how the story plays out. (Although how cool would it be if they actually did decide to use an idea of yours?!)

10 bucks says the big announcement friday will be multiplayer DLC. Not sure what else they could that wouldn't involve the VA's.

[ahandsomeshark]

And I'm not saying no new ending is ever coming. I'm saying it definitely won't be part of the announcement on Friday. Boo.

[Patson259]

So if she hasn't been contacted yet at all the what DLC are they working on? Multiplayer, play as Aria. Because it can't involve Shep at all. Unless they recycle some old lines.

Yeah, multiplayer DLC is almost a lock.

[Turran]

How are we meant to gain clarification, if we are clearly not able to ask more questions?

How are all these questions meant to be answered, if Shepard can't ask or be involved?

Maybe there is a new ending cutscene, one that (I would love) to last 10+ mins? Who knows.

[AtlasMickey]

Thank goodness for Hale. She did an excellent job. Amazing work. Bravo!

There really doesn't have to be any new voice work to address some salient points about the ending, which is to simply illustrate how both my squad members made it to the Normandy in time for them to end up on another planet.

I love the endings, but when I saw both my squad mates walk out on the planet, even I thought, "what the hell happened there???"

The announcement on Friday isn't to announce "here you go, enjoy", it's to announce "here's what we plan to do". You don't need the actors, or anyone else really, to make that announcement. You just need the top level brass to make a decision. They probably don't have anything more than a rough idea at this point. Maybe a fully fleshed storyboard. But I doubt it's even got a full script.

Well that would be enough to satisify me. I won't be enthalled but happy to have some much needed closure on the trilogy.

[Mad-Max90]

Mark said otherwise more recently, he didn't say it was a new ending, but he did say he was doing more voice work, so take that as you will. Also that guy who said he met the admiral Hackett guy, said he said he was working on stuff...it's all he said she said...it's all whatever we will have to wait for PAX or anytime this month really, if nothing is at least put on the table, then I'm done with anything Hudson puts his name on

[Actinguy1]

If they're just going to flesh out the ending without it being directly related to our choices...well...I'll just watch that on Youtube.  The only way I'll pay for an ending is if it's uniquely mine, like the ending of ME2 was (who lives and dies based on your choices)

[Hy0ga]

There's no "clarification" in the world that justifies why my Shepard accepts that illogical absurd crap in the final unholy dialog. He would point out to the window ; "see that Geth Dreadnought shooting your Reaper? Yeah...I don't buy your crap".

I want to see that lynching if they do that. It will be a million times better than this

But its wierd because the voice actor for Hackett knows about biowares future plans. But fem shep dosent.

She has said before that she doesn't even play the games, so she could have recorded the real endings already and not realize it.

poor soul...look at what Introdction Theory has done to you guys...giving you all these false hopes...

Assuming that was true. It's not exactly a stretch to imagine something said one to one to a fan in a convention will be different to things said in a published interview.

[Sarifa]

I'm pretty sure she'd know the endings she's done, the voice acting is harder than it appears, and they need to know where and why their characters say what they do.

That being said it's an old quote, from before the comments about listening and acting to the ending rage, so back then there might not have been anything in the works indeed.

All this seems to clarify to me, is that the Indoctrination theory that some fans have made, while very good - wasn't what they intented with the endings. Wether they pick up some inspiration from reading the theories and implement it later, that's to be seen.

Mark Meer says in this Forbes article that he's scheduled to do work for future DLC and it seems JH is responding specifically to the prospect of an altered ending, which it's doubtful we're going to get (just "clarification").

Lots of speculation for everyone!
THIS HURTS ME.

On a side note.... Jen i love your voice acting. You were the canon Shepard, IMO.

[jfruelas521]

I've always liked Jennifer Hale. But this appears to be devastating news. Arg...

Canon Shepard, period!

You know I figured since she didn't play the games, she wouldn't care that much about the character.
But it seems she does, since it makes her sad too. I guess actually being the character makes you attached whether you play her or not.
Makes me happy and sad at the same time.

To create a good ending is hard, no doubt, but it was possible with Dragon Age Origins (great ending). So why not ME3. They promised us 16 endings, but we eventually got 1 ending with 3 different colors.

And a trilogy should finish the story without any plotholes... but we got really big holes....
