I just don't see IT happening. Its great fan theory, but the world does not work that way. Bioware would not plan to release a completely new ending to their game half a year after launch for free. Everything they have said up to this point suggests they are simply adding closure and clarity to the ending. Indoc would have them add an entire mission to wrap things up in addition to a real denouement.
Bioware released a final hours app detailing the devs view of the mass effect series from start to finish. It clearly says they want shepard to show emotion from the war and not being able to save everyone. It clearly talks about the decision to have star kid only tell shepard what he needed to know, rather than explain everything.
The devs have corrected people over the current ending, by saying things like the relays didnt blow up or the fleets wont be stranded. If IT was real, they would'nt have bothered explaining a false ending. Also the reveal would have happened months ago and the dlc would not have been an "unexpected project" as the returning voice actors put it.
I think an indoctrination plot would be a fun piece of dlc to add in the future, and I would like for them to alter the ending to fit one in, but such things are not offered for free, nor are they trivial. I don't think any game has ever altered its ending the way people are hoping for.
One, if you're going to reuse a post, at least be subtle about it.
Two; Yes they would, I would explain to you a myriad of buisness reasons why, but I highly doubt you care to listen. If you do, ask me again later.
Three. Casey Hudson EXPLICITLY STATED in an interveiw that he wants the player to feel what Shepard feels, not to showcase Shepard's emotions, which he never even mentioned. Who are you going to belive? The second hand source of the Final Hours app, which by the way does not preclude what Casey said, or the words straight from the horse's mouth to you?
Four. Yes the would have to keep people calm, and if you look at that interveiw which was one joe blow having a chitchat with Weekes, not even bothering to record it or write it down and thus paraphrasing throughout the whole thing, you would notice the parts where he COULD quote Weekes, he was speaking in the speculative, "if the Citadel DID blow up." "If this DID happen." As for why it is unexpected, well that goes back to the buisness reasons I could explain for your benefit, but won't bother since I am certain you aren't interested in listening.
Five.They are not trivial, but they are offered for free, which is basically what your argument hinges on. Firewalker and Zaeed were free, does that mean they never happened too? Oh and Broken Steel. Look it up. Your argument is invalid.
