This is just a waste of time. There is no point in making a DLC in the way that you described it to be.
The fact that we didn't get to see nearly enough of what happend after the final "choice" we made was just one small pebble on the enormous Mountain of disappoint you left at the end of ME3.
As many has said before me, I have now lost all faith in this, and if this DLC is coming out as planned, it won't make difference what so ever.
Huge cred to all involved in making the mass effect universe (and not involved in the choices of the ending). I hope you all realize that this is the reason so many are upset about this. It's because they're such great games. You've given such an experience with them that we cannot bare to have it end the way it did.
You did actually make one of the greatest series of games ever seen. Until that ending. And it will haunt many players for the rest of your time as a developer.
I actually think this will hurt the bioware fan base. I'm not a DA player myself, but from what i've read they've managed to ****** those guys quite alot aswell.
Fool me once...
Artistic integrety really does not apply in this situation. You make games for an audience. A paying audience (quite alot too). If you decide to paint a painting, just for the fun of it(with no intention of selling it at first), and then decide to sell it, then i agree, the buyer has no right to demand you changing it. When you make a sequal for a game that has already sold over 2 million copies, and beforehand make promises as you have, we, as buyers, do.
And for those calling us entitled; we aren't. This is not a valid point of argue on your part.
If we had DEMANDED that shepard have a pink gummibear on his/her shoulder through out the game, updating us live on the football scores, then that would merit being called entitled. This does not. It does not even come close.
Had I known that you wouldn't take this ending seriously i would never have bought the game, or spent so much time on building my character in the previous games.
This DLC is just another slap in the face, that you seem to think so little of us. That this would pacify us in spite of the void you left us with.
If this is the way you want to play it, then i guess many of us have no choice. You clearly know what we feel is wrong. You have read many of our posts (which would be good thing, but it doesnt seem to make any difference, so it doesnt really count for much) and still you choose this.
For me, the mass effect universe stopped with ME2. This is the true ending. I would rather have it end there, having defeated the collectors, and preparing for a fight with the reapers that never was.
Well known games reviewer TotalBiscuit decided he couldnt even play this game, because of the deal with the From ashes DLC release. I don't blame him for it, but i reasoned that this series is so freaking amazing, that i didn't actually mind paying €20 extra for CE, and getting that in the process. Even if it was a cheap trick. It was supposed to be that good. I personally have never been more excited about a game release.
With this "answer" Bioware has given us today, once again i feel the wind knocked out of me, and this was the last game from Bioware that i will play.
Nothing to add, all you say is true.
