Sooooo many bugs in this game.

There is literally no such thing as bug-free software. It's always a case of reduction rather than elimination, as the latter is exceedingly more difficult to achieve the larger your system is. With a game as complex as ME3, I think BioWare has, for the most part, done a great job keeping bugs in check.

I never expect 0 bugs when I play a game, especially shortly after release. However, I experienced a sum total of 5 bugs that made me have to turn off my Xbox, and that doesn't even include Shepard's face not importing at all/properly the first time I went through ME3. That doesn't include the annoying ones, either...like my Shepard not being able to wear her Kuwashii visor. Of all the times I've played ME1 and ME2 (each game I've played at least 6 times, ME3 I've only played 3 times all the way through), I can count all the bugs I have encountered on one hand. Only two were shut-off-the-Xbox-worthy, and both those were in ME2 and because I did something stupid...like walk into a really dark corner and fall through the map. XD Then there was the month-long timeframe where my ME3 game wouldn't start up at all. That was fun.

I'll also mention that since I got it on release day, I have encountered absolutely 0 bugs in Halo 4. So, the moral of the story is that it's very possible to have significantly less bugs in games that are just as expansive as ME3. It's predecessors, while not bug-free, are SIGNIFICANTLY better in that regard.

I just hope they do better with bug-fixing on this new DLC than they did on Omega.

Jos? What does it take for getting you to release any hint about what the next DLC will be about?

Entirely too much is what it would take for me to do that. That, or internal permission from the people who decide these things. You're out of luck, unfortunately.

For those of us who don't know much about game devolopement, could you please enlighten us on what you mean by "logic".

I'm assuming you mean programming stuff like loops and "if then statements"... Could you possibly give an example of how this applies in a game? 

Would it be like "if choice A is activated - Do consequence A, Else do consequence B"?

Bugs can appear in a variety of forms.
Like for instance, clipping errors (when your character falls through the ground in a map).
Or errors in cutscene sequencing: Remember that short visions from EC throughout the extended dialog for each choice with the Catalyst ? Those have gone missing wth Leviathan.

Those two are very different things, but both are bugs.
Well, at least if you don't take the cheap way out by saying "It's not a bug, it's a feature" ^^

So one of us would need to get a job at Bioware that gives you 'internal permission' to talk about the DLC?

Easy enough, who's in?

Why Jos? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy? *throws tantrum*

Something I've wondered about for a while, which perhaps Mr Hendriks can solve the mystery of *fingers crossed* is about the DLC conception.

That is to say, how BW comes up with and goes about implementing/creating the DLC for us to play.

There's been a few instances of people in BW saying that 'due to legal issues, we would not be able to implement any of these ideas since they were pitched by non-employees'. I'm paraphrasing but the meaning is still the same.

What I've been wondering, is that since BW appear to be unable [or unwilling, due to aforementioned legal issues] to take on communities ideas for future DLC, and go about actually developing them... does that mean that if the community [or members thereof] pitches a DLC idea which BW was already in the process of creating or at least had it on the proverbial drawing board that they'd then be legally obligated to drop/can/abandon that development?

If so, that would be terrible and kind of ironic in a way *fans pitch ideas of dlc they'd like, bw was already working on some of them but since fans posted similar ideas.. or exact same, BW has to then abandon them out of fear of legal fury* I mean, would saying "Yeah, we were already working on the hanar MP kit before the fans pitched the idea" be a sufficient explanation?

[RiouHotaru]

I'm with Jeff in that, while TWD was a good game, GOTY, it is not. Considering the game is good for 2 playthroughs, at best?

But it is a spectacularly well-written game. I get the feeling if TWD wasn't there it would've come down to Journey and ME3 by a -very- close margin.

@Daiyu101: No, I think they can use fans' ideas if they think those ideas are good. You'd have to sue BioWare/EA for intellectual property infringement if you discovered that BioWare exploited your idea. Then you'd have to prove in court that it was indeed your original idea and that you came up with it first. Proving that would be very difficult, so you'd probably lose the case in the end nevertheless.

I read something similar on the forums of two screenwriters. They said that every idea you post on their forums is an idea they can't use.

It depends who owns the content. Mearly making an idea on things that Bioware owns (for example Female Turian Cabals with Biotic Protector, Warp and Throw for multiplayer) doesn't mean they wouldn't be able to use it, because they already own all of that.

You can't use things from other peoples intellectual property and then try and pass it off as your creation.

Seems like EDI is on board in the next DLC.
Her german voice actress wrote on her website that she does recordings for EDI.

[JeffZero]

If Kaidan is onboard, I would be shocked to discover the rest of the ME3 squad is not.

Nah they would totally make Kaidan-exclusive mission/DLC. TOTALLY. Right after they do "Death to Liara, Garrus & Tali" DLC xD

[JeffZero]

LOL.

Leviathan only featured a couple squad members, so this one could also just have Ashley/Kaidan.

Altough I'm still hoping to see some of the ME2 squadmembers in some role so that I'd actually have any incentive to buy the DLC.

[MassEffecter132]

I think ME2 squad mates are out of the question. We'd be lucky to have the full ME3 cast. But I'd love some more Miranda

ME2 squadmates as squadmates may be out of the question, yeah. But the DLC could be about almost anything so there's still a distinct possibility to have ME2 cast appear somewhere.

Really? I somehow remembered that only Edi and Vega had lines, but you're probably right. I didn't buy the DLC , I just watched it on youtube.

lol ok. Pretty much shows how great of a 'replacement' YT is.

[Snypy]

^ Well, each squadmate in Leviathan had just a few Zaeed-style lines. Only EDI and Vega took part in "real" conversations.

There were special cutscenes in Bryson's lab with EDI and James.  But all the characters had commentary during the missions.  I believe the LI even has one at the end of the final mission.

No, they also had comments during 3 main missions, in the same style squadmates comment during any other mission in the game

I hope they have something ME2 squad mates related of this is the DLC to close out Shepard's story for good :
