I love how people are already basically posting "reviews" of this DLC. "OMG, this DLC sucks!"

Really? Are you all time travelers? Can I get a ride in your time machines?

Latching onto a few words like "clarity," "closure" and "cutscenes" is not enough to make a fair judgement of this DLC.

I'm happy to be taking away these three things from this announcement:
A) They really are doing something.
B) They're taking until the summer, which gives them time to do it right, not a rush job.
C) It's FREE

Give it a chance. If it fails to answer the issues and the plot holes and it sucks, THEN I will complain along with you. We have to actually play it first before we judge it.


OMG another person with a brain. No way!


Pre-requisite to "having a brain" = Agreeing with Tardferguson.

And I thought I was egomaniacal.

will explain it. The Reapers have huge mass effect shields. They built mass effect technology, they're best situated to know how to protect themselves from it, especially seeing as how they're making the technology available to other species during the cycles in order to guide them down paths. It makes sense for them to be able to protect themselves from that. They have the most powerful shields because they have the biggest mass effect cores around. It's kind of obvious, isn't it?


Let me ask you this -- what is better, getting the Mass Effect pseudo-science exactly right so a person can demonstrate exactly how everything works with precise mathematical calculations, or getting to see the Normandy kick some Reaper ass?


& yet the Turians were albe to fight off the reapers attack on there planet with "CONVENTIONAL" means as you see during the game. Same with the Asari they too were able to fight them off, because of mixed tactics, even one of the codex entrys state I believe that one of the tactics used by the turians was to get behind them & blast the f*** out of them & the Asari used in & out tactics. The reapers being so big weren't able to turn in time to counter the offencive sowith the big massive fleet you assembled there should be a F*** YOU STAR CHILD I'M GOING TO KILL ME SOME FU**ING REAPERS option.

Bioware speak of artistic integrity... but the games they are making at the moment are rushed imitations of what they think a mass audience would subscribe too... real artistic. I can see how the integrity of your product is important to you.

What a f*cking joke...

And I do not, under any circumstances want a happy, everything wrapped up in a bow with flowers and Star Wars Award Ceremony epilogue.

And I'll ask again; if I were to put the necessary work into my character and make the right choices why the hell shouldn't I be able to achieve a "perfect" happy ending for my character and their comrades?

Wait.. they're.. not changing the endings at all? Its official? They're just trying to polish the turd?

Yeah, BioWare is dead to me.. I can't deal with Mass Effect if it has that freaking StarChild in it. I will go insane.

They should have just ran with IDT. No way they can explain away all those plot holes, I don't care how many cutscenes they throw in there.

I know you can't tolerate being sad, I'm right there with you, I just don't want to see everyone get there hopes up only for it to turn out that all they've done is increased the torment. I just don't wnat the summer to come & hear people saying stuff like *they promised to take the knife out of my back but instead they plunged it deeper & twisted it round a bit*. All of us that were hurt by the endings are all greaving, we are all feeling the exact same way about the endings, I just don't want to see my fellow soldiers shattered to pieces by faulse promises again because next time the pain will be 100x worse than it is now.

You're sweet. :) Thank you for caring about all of us.

BioWare/EA should trademark and copyright "Clarification" and "Artistic Integrety/Choices/Vision" ... just envision the advertising and marketing possibilities.

- Battlefield Ultragore Child Soldier Edition, now with even more "Artistic Integrety"!
- Dragon Age 3 comes shipped with "Clarification" and the "Artsitic Choice" to play as Mass Effects 'Garrus Vakarian' even from the beginning!
- Madden NFL with Orcs and Husks! Our new outstanding "Artistic Vision"!

If the Indoctrination Theory turns out to be completely false, and not even remotely truth then I doubt I will ever do a replay of ME3... Sigh... I believe that we have lost fellow gamers... Where has the Golden Age of Bioware gone? Where are the KOTOR days when stories actually made sense? I am very very sad...



Although not made by Bioware KOTOR IIs ending was a shambles if my memory serves me correctly...

Golden age of bioware ended with Dragon Age and ME2. The ending to Dragon age (with all dlc) was amazing and rounded the game off perfectly much like ME2 with arrival and lair of the shadow broker.

I won't get my hopes up, but it's better than nothing. At this point it sounds like they're just going to make the ending suck less, which isn't quite what I wanted, but maybe they'll surprise.

I believe this way, you may not. I think if you win without any casualties, then that win was easy. IF people close to Shepard die, but he/she still pulls through and defeats the Reapers, it reflects better on him as a character.

Guess my experience with ME ended. I have no desire to see this ending, The three I had were the issue, it was not the promised ending(s) that was mentioned two weeks before the release. I really feel let down by Bioware and it will affect my purchasing decisions going forward.

It makes sense for them to be able to protect themselves from that. They have the most powerful shields because they have the biggest mass effect cores around. It's kind of obvious, isn't it?



Reaper weapons were differen't to weapons created by the organic races.
Reaper weapons were designed to cut through shields like butter.
Reaper shields were designed to stop the fire from standard weapons, they weren't designed to stop weapons fire from their own weapons.

From the codex:

Codex wrote... The Thanix's core is a liquid alloy of iron, uranium, and tungsten suspended in an electromagnetic field powered by element zero. The molten metal, accelerated to a significant fraction of the speed of light, solidifies into a projectile as it is fired, hitting targets with enough force to pierce any known shield or armor.


Again, the Reapers would never have thought it necessary to protect themselves from their own weapons, as no race was ever meant to have that tech.

Thank you, finally someone said it. Plus to keep up these shields the Reapers sacrifice a HUGE amount of maneuverability. Our ships should've been able to flank them easy and keep up the pressure. It was relatively possible

I just hope and pray that Bioware is willing to accept the MAJOR risk they are about to take. I think it's such a waste to see such a masterpiece go down like the Hindenburg because of some ****** artistic integrity cop out nonsense

first Saints Row now Mass Effect how many more titles will fall victim to EA?

so what is the point of even having the discussion panel at PAX then?

"Are we going to change the ending of the game? No. Do we appreciate the passion and listen to the feedback delivered to us by our fans? No."

Fixed that for you.

"Wrong"? About what? You haven't said what I'm wrong about. What do you mean "object"? Object to what? Object to the choices being made? The Starchild gave him a choice, if Shepard didn't make a choice from the options, Starchild would just let the Reapers do their work. What would you object to? There's nothing, your job to end the threat. You end it.

I'm totally bewildered by this, please explain.


Wrong about Shepard not having any other option.

Starchild would not have just let the Reapers do their work because it no longer ordained their work as a workable solution, hence why it was even willing in the first place to "find a new solution".

There was enough wiggle room there to interject. We were never given the option, even a failed attempt. We were simply given the option to nod our head like a little lost lamb.


I still don't understand why you need the option to interject. You didn't submit to the Catalyst, the Catalyst empowered you to determine the fate of the Reapers and the galaxy. Crikey.




Because that's what the entire game is about? Options! Injections! No! Yes! Maybe! Perhaps! Wait! ****** off! Okay! Sure! Definitely not!

I don't buy the Catalyst's bull****. I don't buy the backhanded approach it applies to each choice. I don't like any of the choices:

Destroy: I actually believe the Catalyst and the Reapers are doing what they think is right - I don't want to destroy them.

Control: ....Er *scratches head*. In truth, maybe this will be one ending that does actually improve with clarification.

Synthesis: ....Come on, man. I don't like such blatant magic in my Sci-Fi.

The most appealing ending is Destroy but...it's still not appealing. I understand what the Reapers are trying to do, they're just incorrect. They're misguided IMO. I want a resolution. I want to broker the peace like I did all the way through ME3, or at least try. I want to have the option to tell the Catalyst it's wrong.

My god Bioware is just stupid now. No one cares about anything but this. They might as well just close the booth now.
