Mass Effect 3's Extended Cut has been designed to offer players more personalised endings that better reflect the choices they made throughout the trilogy.Speaking at the Mass Effect panel at PAX East (via) Penny Arcade, Bioware producer Mike Gamble said: "To be clear, the Extended Cut is not a re-imagining of the ending or a new ending. We're currently building it right now, our cinematics team is on it. Our writers are heavily involved. It's coming together."So while it won't change the endings per se, it will expand on them to provide "more clarity for those seeking further closure to their journey", as previously promised.Gamble elaborated a little: "It's more than just a few cinematic scenes. We're happy to be doing it... We want to give more closure about some of the questions you have, and in general we wanted to give the players a sense of personalisation with the endings."Many people mentioned that some of the choices they made in the game are not necessarily reflected in the ending scenes. We're definitely going to focus on things like that. We want to make sure that when you see the ending of Mass Effect, you now have the information and context to be satisfied."He added: "It wasn't in the game because we didn't know there was such a huge demand for it, to be honest with you."

Yeah, that quote kills me.

"we didn't know there was such a huge demand for it, to be honest with you."

What? You didn't know that there was a huge demand for our choices to matter, even though that is something you said over and over was going to happen in the game?

Exactly when the key selling point of not just one game but all three was how the series would adapt to your choices, give me a break.

Honestly can we stop the PR BS?  How hard is it to say 'guys we went with a risky approach to the original ending.   It didn't really work out for most of our fans as intended.   We intend to correct this."

Hmmm.  How is it different to say "we didn't know there was such a huge demand" all that different from saying that "it didn't really work out for most of our fans as intended."

I guess the idea I'm asking is whether or not people think that the game was released with BioWare thinking "Hah!  This is going to make them so mad!"  If you don't think that, then how is Mike's statement an indication of lying?


Cheers.

The difference is one implicidly states fault and remorse and the other one doesn't.

I am not taking sides on this but just stating what seems factual

Would that mean that the issue is actually not with what Gamble said, but that he didn't include any sort of apology to go along with it?

Saying "We didn't expect it" and "It didn't go over as we had planned" seems like splitting hairs over word semantics, doesn't it?

Well, I disagree that it's splitting hairs. English is quite a complicated language in terms of meanings, and word semantics are rather important in conveying specific intention. I'm sure Gamble means nothing by his choice of words but it conveys an attitude of being aloof and disconnected to a lot of people.

I think at this point, most people just want honest, concrete discussion; solid statements on their own opinions of the issues, not another marketing release filled with statements that are open to interpretation.

EDIT: I understand the reasons why the ME team does not want to discuss anything or debate anything on these boards. But I imagine most decent people would love to have a one-to-one discussion with the writers and other developers of ME3 even if they disagree.

MOAR EDITs: Typos and thought-correction. 

Fair response.  Thanks!
