I know that at this point we dont have very much to go on as far as the "extended cut" goes (at least nothing but unreliable rumours from questionable sources) but i assume that it will go something like...

*Explains why joker is running away and other such things before firing the crucible 

*after the crucible is fired there will be a different aftermath for each ending with verying degrees of loss
based on assets 

What I'm hoping for however is an ending that allows you to reunite with the normandy crew and your LI (and depending on who that LI might be have blue asari children or *cough* build a house on Rannoch *cough*) 

Main point being, if the extended cut explained the more major plot holes and allowed players who wanted a happy ending to have one, would you be satisfied?

[Taleroth]

There has to be an understood distinction between 'explanation' and 'good explanation.' The former would be insufficient. The latter is something many of us doubt as possible.

You can say that the Starchild teleported the crew to the Normandy and told them to run away. Or that the squad members dodged Harbinger's beam, then made a beeline for shuttles. And upon arriving at the Normandy, Joker had a sudden craving for Krogan ice cream. That's not really helping matters.

If the bolded parts are there, yes.  Hope it's more than just text on a screen, though.  And MAKES SENSE. 

Still, the only way that can probably happen is the Destroy ending at 4000+ EMS, and that would effectively make the other two pointless for a LOT of people. 

[sasusori]

two things i need,

1. multiple different endings based on what ive done in previous games

2. mass relies cant be destroyed in every ending

[Sellara]

Where the hell is the triumphant battle against Harbinger. Seriously. The rest could not make sense if I could just have this one little sequence. Shepard and Harbinger square off... somehow. Shepard wins. That is all I need.

[Ackbar vas Rannoch]

Ya that's true. But as long as they would give a reason that made sense it would probably satisfy me. However I will still say "probably" because at this point there isn't much faith to be had in bioware's reasons for things. :/ sigh

This sentence. This ****ing sentence is literally the basis for why people are still pissed off at the idea that all we're getting is clarification. It pretty much summarizes all of my posts today.

Could we finally get an explanation of how the Reapers operate? Just what position does Harbinger have anyway as eldest Reaper?

*Explains why joker is running away and other such things before firing the crucible

*after the crucible is fired there will be a different aftermath for each ending with verying degrees of loss based on assets

*SET UP STARBABY BETTER (NARRATIVE COHERENCE PLZ)

*INCLUDE HARBINGER IN A DRAMATIC ROLE

*IF IT'S ABOUT TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY PLEASE SHOW, DON'T TELL (nothing in the entire game alluded to this, fix it)


Don't care so much about "Happy Endings" or whatever, although that'd be cool. I just want a real ending. The one that was cut out between the time shep takes the elevator up and when your crew ends up stranded on some jungle planet

[j78]

Sorry but all the crazy revolves around the star brat and we’re stuck with him.

[warrior256]

No way. I want an ending where the choices I made throughout all three games impact what direction the ending takes. Until I get what I was promised when I bought the game, I will not be happy.

[LucasShark]

It'll have it's job cut out for it: as I can list several dozen plot holes off the top of my head that it would have to cover before it salvaged this turd of an ending.

[KevShep]

too many plot holes to fix for them I think, They have backed themselves into a corner.

I have a feeling that this explaination will bring up new plot holes as well as avoid/miss current major plot holes.

It's really this simple. What's so damn hard about it?

Yeah there's plot holes, but how many people would be here talking about THOSE in this retake movement if they simply made the ending satisfactory? Not nearly as many!

Still, no matter what you do you can only be rewarded with a happy ending by committing genocide.  Does anyone else think that whole premise is messed up?

The star child and synthesys really do not belong in Mass Effect. CUT them OUT.

Ya i gotta agree. I was furious when i heard we we're going to recieve "clarification" on the endings but the more i read and thought about it the more i have come to believe that maybe, just maybe, they can turn this thing around. At the very least they have our concerns to sift through so that they can be sure to adress them and not only that but months to do so.

I would definitely prefer to not have to sacrifice the Geth and EDI to get Shepard to live, yes.  Considering the Starchild said Shepard would die if he chose that since he's partially synthetic himself (even with 4000+ EMS), I'm hoping Bioware decides to write it off. 

If not...Well, my Shepard is damn well gonna live.  If Bioware decides it can only be through genocide, then it's on THEM, not me.

My point exactly. I played the game for the characters more than anything and the plot holes wouldnt bother me nearly as much if they werent what caused my crew and LI to be stranded and most likely die long, drawn out deaths.

[Richard 060]

One quick fix that could go a long way to making the ending work:

For the 'Destroy' ending, Shepard responds to all the misinformation, stupidity and unfounded assertions from the Catalyst with a resounding "Bull***t", tells the lying b***ard to go screw itself, and then unloads an entire clip into the device.


Because let's face it - SOMEONE needs to point out to the glowy blighter that nothing it says makes a lick of sense, and can all be easily countered by the simple application of logic and common sense. That 'someone' might as well be Shepard...

That would make me infinitely happy.

Edit: As long as it is an actual cutscene, and not Star Wars-esque scroll text.

I just found this tweet from one of the Bioware PR people you might find interesting.

@MrBlazenGlazen yes but with some sacrifices depending on the end you chose. Ending is never perfect but Shep/crew reunited is possible

Ya I've seen that tweet but according to the community she falls under the category of "Questionable Sources". From what I've heard she isn't exactly reliable.

[THEE_DEATHMASTER]

I sincerely hope JM isn't dicking us around. Because we've had enough of that.
But I can envision the cutscene of Shepard waking up, going into the real citadel and destroying the Reapers without killing himself, getting back with the crew and happily ever after.
