one word. Indoctrination.


Sheps gonna get back up and kick Harbies ass.

Thinking its kind of pointless as BW have stated the ending is not changing, it's still the starchild and A, B or C ending. All they are doing is fixing up some of the more glaring plot holes.

[King Gigglez]

I think that the ending will be as good as they make it.... However if they do give a 'definitive' ending with the game in this DLC (proving IT was wrong, or the new cleverly thought up MT) and still not make anymore sense, or fit the theme of the franchise as a whole... I think a lot of people are going to be even more furious then they are now...

They can say that all they want. The fact is they said they are making "additional content". Therefore, the ending will be changed in some capacity. Whether that will satisfy anyone...well I suggest people wait and see.

[Wulfram]

I don't think it'll really fix my issues with the ending, though it may include some details I can incorporate into head canon.

I do appreciate the effort.
And I obviously approve of the price!

[Calliope]

I am willing to give it a chance.

[B3ckett]

If I am to judge by BW words only, it'll still be a messy ending and I still won't like it.
If the changes are more than subtle, it might ease the pain and make the endings bearable or even plausible.

Until then, I am withholding my appreciation or hate for the Extended Cut.
If I am not satisfied, ME3 shall be my last coin spent of BW's games. Until another pure gold product, I shall play their games. I just won't buy them. Simple as that.

Curious.

*Chuckle* Curious?  Dude, if you want to avoid spoilers you probably have to run past their department with your fingers lodged firmly in your ears EVERY DAY 

That is actually pretty much what I do... LOL.  I find screaming "LALALALALALA" helps a lot too.
...

Oh. My. Gosh. Amazing. Trend.

[Dot.Shadow]

Extremely cautious. I have no faith it in being the solution to this problem, but I will give it a try nonetheless.

[Nizzemancer]

It doesn't matter how much glazing you put on a turd and call it a cake, It's still a turd and I'm not eating it.

[Segameister]

Regardless as to whether the ending is affected, I'm excited about the extra scenes.  I'm sure they will be very good.
HOWEVER: that doesn't mean it will shut me up if I still find the ending wholy unsatifsactory after all the extra content is added.  I'll will try and remain polite about it though (it doesn't mean I always will, just that I will try).

[Unbel1ever]

Personally, if they involve the war assets more, clarify the reasoning behind the ending and maybe add an epilogue, I'll be able to live with it. That doesn't mean I'm going to be happy about it. As long as the ridiculous Catalyst stays, they can't really fix the ending for me. If this is what happens, I won't completely shut the door on BioWare, but I also will no longer buy any of their stuff on trust alone. Basically the same way I don't watch any new tv shows until they at least have two seasons under their belt.

[Necrotron]

I really think it just get people's hopes up only for them to be disappointed and they will become infuriated all over again.

I went into Mass Effect 3 no spoilers, avoided all talk about it, high hopes and got crushed.  So for extended cut i'll read and watch it first and I have absollutely no hope that it will clarify, explain or lessen the depression.

[Psile_01]

Well, even at best the clarification might hastily cover up explain some plot holes and possibly add some of the uniqueness that the current ending is lacking. Even if it did this, the ending is still bad writing and feels out of place in the series. At best this will make me still
Hate the ending but at least be able to swallow it and perhaps even move on. Of course, this is a best case scenario. Me devs don't seem to want to add clarification so I can't say how good it will be.

Now, if they go indoc theory on us and open up some more stuff there is potential, but I'm not holding my breath.

[CJMissen]

I'm getting a sense of dejavu that I've already posted on a topic remarkably similar to this one... oh well, I'm tired, if I'm repeating myself in topic, I'm sorry.

I'm feeling skeptical and cynical about the EC,

I've tried to find any way I can to placate my worries, posting, even creating topics, before this ending debacle I never posted, now I can't seem to get away from it until I know the series is being done justice. I still do not see how expanding a story with a blemish as its foundations is a good idea, its not going to satisfy. it may placate but it won't satisfy.

thats my suspicions anyway, and its sad that no one can put them to rest.
But I'll wait and see... I'm not liking the Devs closemindedness on all of it though, and its making further reconsider purchasing from BW or EA again. Either way, I'm going to be very, VERY cautious about it unless they do this right.

 I too am intrigued, but not overly optimistic. Unless a significant amount of content is edited, I doubt it will be as successful as Bioware hopes it will be.

To be more specific, here are several segments that I think need an overhaul if the endings are not rewritten OR if the indoctrination theory is not expanded upon -

• If Shepard is alive in the destroy ending, how did he/she survive reentry?
• How does synthesis work?
• How can Shepard control the reapers?
• Unless Shepard is being indoctrinated, how does the catalyst know to take the form of the child who dies back on Earth? More importantly, why does it have to be a human child?
• Why is Joker even running away?
• Why can't Shepard refute the star child's logic?
• How did Anderson reach the beam unscathed and manage to beat Shepard to the Citadel's console? The hallway leading to the console is clearly a straight path, but Anderson somehow beats Shepard to the end of it.
• Are the relays permanetly destroyed or simply disabled? If disabled, how soon can they be rebuilt?
• If the catalyst is part of the reapers why does it even assist Shepard in the first place?
• What happens to our crew? The Citadel races? How did our actions effect the galaxy?

Another one that kind of irked me was the mass relays exploding, which since it was established in Arrival that doing so would destroy the nearby systems.  If they explained that one too that would be nice.

 They  already explained it in a interview. The Mass Relays did not supernova because they were not ruptured like the one in arrival.

Ahhh, very interesting.  Kind of a sly way to explain it though: "Well, you see, even though we didn't even establish that they didn't go supernova, just take our word that they didn't go supernova.

That's good then, but I still feel like it should have some light shed on it.

[lordofdogtown19]

Cautiously optimistic. I mean they can't make it worse right?

[M920CAIN]

It's either Indoctrination Theory for me or it's gonna suck. I hope people will be happy with it though, whatever it is.

I propose someone take the hit and download it, record it and put it on Youtube so we can try before we buy.

This! They will not be able to explain all the plotholes.

Chosing to expand on the terribe ending will not make it a better ending. 
The god-child needs to be canned, and the whole "Priority: Earth" mission needs to be rewritten.

That or going with the indoctrination theory - Which I personally would prefer.

[Rodia Driftwood]

I'm holding my breath. I have no reason to think it's going to suck.

I still want to know what the staff thought about the game. I don't want to hear it from the PR guy or Casey Hudson. I want to hear it from the devs themselves.


They say the endings just didn't live to our expectations, but it's much more than that. If one dev. stood up and said " it was EA's fault!." I'd smile.
