But what is then with the Stargazer scene. It is thousands of years in future and implicates that people are sill not able to do space travel?
This is a contradiction.

  See, speculations again. I'm afraid we have to wait till Extended DLC and than...
1) do happy dance or 
2) speculate more or
3) go away

Agreed, a casual interview and many who blasted the game before over such speculations are at least hopeful, before we all start squabling over scraps again at least lets wait till we know how the story ends before the turning against each other starts over.

I think we can all agree that the extended cut will do it's job. This isnt PR bull. This is the truth.

(unofficial statements from someone outside of the company are often more trustworthy than Official Blog statements)

Just to avoid creating misunderstanding... Patrick Weekes is not 'outside of the company' as you are suggesting. He is very much an insider, one of the writers, a great talent.

It isn't a contradiction.  The stargazer was telling the child that it would take time for *him* to go into space, meaning he'd be able to when he was older.

But the child also asks the old man about interesting things (species etc.) that can be found in universe. This implicates that their planet doesn't have direct contact with other species, because they aren't able to travel in space.

No, it IMPLIES. ... sorry, my bad. But last I read, it really doesn't go into detail about much of anything.

The stargazer scene is plain awful. If anything were to be scrapped from that ending, it'd have to be the Stargazer scene first because it's contrived and looks like a hallmark postcard moment. Maybe great as an ending for a kid's story but not at all for a Mass Effect closing scene.
That's just my opinion...

Whoops I did phrased that wrong. I meant someone from Bioware doing an unofficial statement as in per "Not an official Blog Post."  I shall commence a change in my post.

I don't understand : the game developper had so many informations for us for the ending, lots of concern the futur of the universe, etc...

And in the game we have a 4 min cinematique with annoying song and no explanation, who say "all you love is dead / all you have made is broken"... I could understand in ME1 that the ending was cut for budget reason for example, but in ME3 is not possible... and add 3 lines of text for each major character in the ending change nothing for them, but so much for us.

Looks like some people at Bioware WANT to do the Director's Cut DLC.

Oh wait, it's the Extended Cut DLC. Well... it would have been really funny if it was called the Director's Cut DLC Some people say that Hudson and Walters are responsible for the ending. Don't know if it is true, but I still think it is funny.

[nullobject]

Has anyone brought up the issue with his explanation of how people on the Citadek survived?

If it was in orbit around earth, and the Wards were explosively disconnected from the ring, the most likely place for the various parts to go is into Earth's gravity well.

Do they have mass effect fields that allow them to make orbit adjustments? Cushion an impact on a planet? Protect it from burning up while falling through the atmosphere?

I bet the ending, as of now, is the result of many different things, including (but not limited to); singular descisions, Budget Limit, Time limit and miscommunication within the company.

We know as much as you do so without speculating, no, I'm pretty sure no-one has those answers yet.

I think it was meant to show the writers' wonder at the scale of the universe and the possibility of life existing beyond our system. It reflects quite a number of people's, and my, feelings about life in the galaxy and could have been well done, but when added with the endings it just seemed quite out of place.

Anyway, if what they're saying about FTL travel is true, then the stargazer would have to be retconned.

In this case, it should be called the 'everyone except the directors cut'.

If Weekes represents the general tone of the writing staff for the Extended Cut DLC, then I just got a little hope back. Still have to wait and see, but more optimistically than before.

No, it's The Director's Cut. As in 'The Director is Cut' (from the writing process).

I love English. Double meanings are so easy.

We are so mean.

Well, like someone said above, restriction of budget and time must have also played a part in the creation of this thing called "ending".

Hence the fan reaction, hence the Director's Cut DLC.

You think english is bad, try french. There's a reason it's called double entendre....

[alayyubi]

Not to go off topic, I just finished watching two finales which sums up what cud have been ME3 finale.. bloody, sacrifice, no-one is safe, and yet satisfying. Someone mentioned an ending for adult, yes, "Stargazer" scene is too childlike (that's why we love IT). even ME2 suicide mission was good, I intentionally left some comrades dead for realism (especially Jacob)

I don't mind if extended DLC means more death, but pls explain it all

Spartacus Vengeance (season 2)
Walking Dead (season 2)

Now that's the way to end the season !

[Zulmoka531]

He wrote some of the best stuff that ME3 had in it. If Bioware does listen to feedback, then I hope they hear our praise for him and his associates and hope his...advice is listened to from the team in the future.

Thank you Patrick and co, for salvaging parts of this game. I personally hope you are in charge of the extended cut DLC.

John is another talented writer! John and Patrick seem to work well together as they've collaborated on some missions and the Genophage campaign.

We still have some leftover funds from the cupcake drive yes?  Mayve we can get Dombrow, Weekes and the level designers of Tuchankha and Rannoch something really nice as a genuine gesture of appreciation.

I wonder if they like chocolate cake? 

[ShinyMetalFIsh]

People here should twitter, email, or whatever they can to Mr. Weekes to show appreciation and thanks. Positive reinforcement should help send the message that we like the "real" talk from Bioware, and may even encourage others to open up as well.

Just funny how many resources are spent on Kinect, Multiplayer and PS3 ports. That's why this game is terrible.

They're probably given a budget by EA. They're train of thought was to bring more new features to the game than to introduce a couple of other gender characters. Which they even did that in the 3rd game. It didn't do them much good in the ending, though.

What about swtor? That was an entirely different game they had to create for EA, on that made them give up their lead writer to be able to still work on mass effect 3 and not put it on the back burner.

If anything, you should blame that undertaking for all the resource drains, everything else seems mundand and cheap when compared to the cost of creating an MMO and than maintaining that MMO.

[Vox Draco]

Interesting information, and I am ready to speculate...

Though I have to admit I am still not really convinced that the EC will be truly satisfying, my hopes are a little higher now...

For example the quote on the Citadel emergency pds etc...I mean I never wasted any thought if there are still people on board the Citadel in the end..in fact I thought they were already killed/harvested when the reapers took over. But these emergency seals/pods etc...are we given a hint how shepard can be seen back in London?

That gives me a little hope. Personally, and you may call me a monster now, I don't give a damn if I have to sacrifice the Geth and EDI (I like them both) to let shepard live and destroy the Reapers. It would be the bitter in my sweet ending...

And the comment on Joker...maybe they completey alter that sequence too...you can keep the cutscenes, but some editing might make it comprehensible in a context...

Then add some scenes where the fleet in Sol combines its efforts to salvage Reaper driving cores and give the player hope that noone starves to death etc...

And you have stil a senseless Starchild, but at least some kind of Happy-Ending (if you choose the right things etc) and maybe a reason to play the series again.

I really hope they cann pull this off the right way, I really do...

The more Patrick Weekes talks, the more I love him to pieces.

I bet they will   Do you really think Bioware wants to fail again for the majority of it's fans ? 

[nitefyre410]

hmmm that's nice... i'm done speculating...

Weekes seems like a rather talented individual but they are going to need to show me.
