Yet to deny IT lol. The Extended Cut speaks for itself. Clutching at straws, clutching at straws.

We're more likely to end up on Palavan pre ending because that's something Casey and the writers wanted to do but had to cut out due to time contraints.


Didn't  the Extended Cut add stuff for the IT. Again I have not followed anything about IT since the third IT Documentry, so I do not know if anything has changed since then. As for the content of the last DLC, I hope that it's post-ending or ending related, but it will most likely be pre-ending and a self contained story like Leviathan and Omega.

I think the refuse ending was added partly for ITers but mostly for the people who hate the Catalyst and don't want to choose any of its solutions. However, IT puts forward that choosing Control or synthesis results in the indoctrination of Shepard being successful and the Reapers winning. The EC makes it abundantly clear that choosing either option results in a positive future for the galaxy in the long run. I think it's fair to say IT is dead except if you break from the canon the game sets out and make up your own story.

It's possible the new DLC will add to the ending as Leviathan did (a few lines of dialogue) but it won't be post ending and it won't change the ending. Those who think otherwise are going to be disappointed.

Yes it did. Leviathan also did. It's easy to find it if you would even try to find it.

Eh... it kind of did... BioWare seemed to be appealing to 3 types of fans with the Extended Cut; the rare few who liked the original ending, they get more added to it, the Indoctrination Theory supporters, and the vast majority of us who hated the ending.

Things such as the Star Child's "So be it" deep pitch line, Shepard's 'neural shock' aboard the Citadel, and Harbinger's weird sound that sounds like "Serve Us" add to the controvery which makes IT supporters think BioWare is subtly confirming the IT. 

Frankly I found the EE quite weird and just adds to the anger with the odd stuff they put in as I listed above, I honestly wish BioWare could just give us a bloody definitive "Yes" or "No" answer.

I and quite a few others would argue that it did, the main addition being Harbinger not firing at the Normandy despite it being within point blank range. Harbinger has been blasting everything in front of him but he just suddenly decides to ignore the Normandy altogether, how does that make any sense? They even make a point of highlighting the fact that Harbinger doesn’t fire.

Anyway this isn't an IT discussion thread, you want to debate IT take it elsewhere.

Some dev also said that if we knew what they had planned, we´d never get rid of ME3. Haven´t played them, but from the comments I doubt Leviathan and Omega meet that at all.

It is just poor writing people, it happens, it's time to get over it.

Well, Mike Gamble said the next DLC will be "unlike anything we've done before", so let's hope it will be more interesting than a somewhat redundant (pre-ending) side story.

I'm still hoping for an Awakening-like expansion/DLC.

Whatever it is, I hope they take some interesting risks - DLC is a great place for innovative gameplay and experiences. The reaction to Omega might've been a symptom of the tiredness of endless linear corridor combat.

Mass Effect 3: Revised.

Play it all again with five hours of extra content, all new dialogue, and loads more! See all your questions answered; all loose ends tied, and play the Mass Effect 3 you always wanted.

That's easy to explain without IT. When you go up to EDI on the bridge earlier in the game, she says she's been adding Reaper code to the IFF to make the Normandy almost indistinguishable from an actual Reaper. Assuming Harbinger was able to recognise the Normandy as a target at all, the IFF could well have made it impossible for it to open fire, in the midst of trying to stop hammer from reaching the beam.

But anyway, the main problem with IT now is, as I've said, the Control and Synthesis endings post EC. They are supposed to be Reapers win choices according to IT, yet they work out fine. IT supporters can''t explain that without saying "It's an indoctrinated dream" which is a baseless assumption. It requires ignoring What the game tells you and changing the story to suit your interpretation. That's fine, I guess, but you can't expect everyone to go along with that, and you certainly can't argue IT is more valid than taking the game at its word because if you can't trust what the game tells you, then one could argue that there's no point in playing it. That's why games never mislead players without rewarding them for seeing through the deception and punnishing those who don't (Morinth anyone?). The EC does niether of these things.

There are going to be some dissapointed BSNers it seems.

Along with death and taxes, this too is a certainty in life.

No. 


So you WOULDN'T like extra scenes with our war assets (seeing our choices,) having priority Earth similar to the suicide mission (more choices!) Additional sidequests to override some of the war-asset fetchers and perhaps some more...

Kasumi? :devil:

The DLC itself needs to add new content, but I am not sure what they could add that would ... enhance the narrative of Mass Effect 3. Overlord and Lair of Shadow Broker did not really add much to the story where it was a MUST to have. Although with Overlord, you did get a sense of the ... sinister side ... of Cerberus experiments.

Leviathan really added some great detail and overall I thought it was very good and added to the narrative. Omega... not so much, although a good DLC if standing by itself but tying that to ME3 ... it really has nothing to do with it.

If they were to add "War Assets scenes" then I think it should be part of the DLC .. but NOT the DLC. Make it a download within a patch or something, but make the DLC something new.

I am really looking forward to it, but honestly, do not know what they could have in store for us.

I'd be very happy if it were an enhanced edition with additional dialog options and more sidemissions that aren't fetch quests.

To be fair, the most prolific BW Tweeter ( Jos ) has been on his extended hols & isn't due back at work till the 21st, even then i'm not sure we'll hear a great deal, i don't think Omega was received the way they envisaged, so i suspect they might well try & keep a lid on things.

If they would have kept it as a hub people would have cried "messiah." It's strange how the smallest things can turn everything around :-/

As for of topic conversation... well the whole thread depends on twitter feed, when there isn't any, we tend to chat. I like it here, it's the most civil place on this forum I think :-)

In my opinion, if they had made omega a hub, people would just complain about it and how it's different than in ME2. Also about how it doesn't affect the ending, and how we never see what happens to it, and how the reapers never take it, and lots and lots of other stuff.

But I just have a very cynical view of the fanbase right now.
