In complete and utter sincerity, my hat is off to everyone still hanging in there and hoping that we, once again, will not get shafted by anything ME3 related.

Truly, it is inspiring to see the actual love for this r@ped and gutted series still holding on, and hope still prevailing.

A lot of the time, BSN is just a vicious cesspit.  "Toxic", I believe Mr. Gaider called it.  But... then, in one little corner, you find people who still believe, and almost vindicate the years and money you sunk into this franchise.

Again, sincerely, I salute you hopeful ones.  It's good to see.  

Tell me about it, sometimes I feel like people come here to hate, just for the sake of hating. For all it's flaws, ME3 is still a magnificent game that I will continue to play as long as Bioware keeps coming out with great DLC. I have never loved a Universe as much as this, and I hope they continue to expand (with Sequels of course) it for as long as they can.

So someone asked Hale about her comment. I don't believe she's talking about anything to get all hyped up about.

The question was: Can you clarify which "PEOPLE" you're talking to? I have the feeling it's not for the players.

To which Hale responded with a simple: true

What do you think? Sorry it's without a link as I've never linked anything on this site and don't want to screw anything up.

[Asch Lavigne]

Hale's comment is so vague.

Yeah, it could have nothing to do with ME3. In fact it probably doesn't. I don't read anything on Twitter (aside from whats re-posted here) so unless she has a ME only account, she's probably just talking in general. Or if it is ME related, it could simply mean from the lines she recorded that she likes the story, nothing more.

Doubt its an ME4 bridge. They don't have all the details for 4 hashed out and there has been no word on if it even relates to the trilogy. For all we know the trilogy could have just been stories Stargazer told to his grandkid. Or "The Shepard" could just be a legend, a myth, ancient history in ME4. Way, way too early to tell.

All we really know is that this DLC has been call "unusual" about twice now. And Patrick teased about dinosaurs.

My 'hope guts' say that's a Priority Earth re-write, since 'dinosaurs' might refer to those Krogan rides. A ME4 bridge might be right, but there's nothing 'unusual' about a ME4 bridge as they've done it with ME3.

The dinosaur thing was a joke.

FFS.

When did hope become so completely divorced from reality? You're only setting yourself up for crushing disappointment if your expectations are ending DLC at this point. Two vague lines from Bioware devs *should not* be enough to send everyone into paroxyms of delusional speculation.

They've said a dozen times that ending DLC is over, and that it won't be revisited.

This from Chris Priestly in another thread is worth reposting here:

Chris Priestly wrote...

Ok, a few points here:
1 - Knock off the fighting and bickering or people will get banned and teh thread closed.
2 - BIOWARE has not hyped this up. A few staff have tweeted and FANS are making much of what is said. There is lots of speculation on what the next DLC will be, but we have not said anything and will not until the content is locked and thinsg are final. Any guesses based of leaks, tweets, conjecture, etc are GUESSES.
3 - Jennifer Hale works on projects besides Mass Effect. Take that with a grain of salt.
4 - We have said repeatedly that we will not be doing more endings for ME3 and that the Extended Cut is the "end of the endings". People refuse to believe me, which is fine as I have been known to not tell the whole story, but do not blame me because you choose not to believe. Temper your expectations.
5 - Details of what the upcoming DLC will be, content, price if any, date, etc will be made available when the ME team is ready.
6 - See #1.

^^ Thanks for reposting that comment from Chris as well as your earlier comment. I came to this thread to try find some info on any new DLC and not to sift through pages of worthless speculation about 'new/ altered endings'.

There is healthy speculation and then there is BSN speculation. "Hope divorced from reality", as you said, sums it up pretty well.

Awesome name by the way.

I'm looking forward to that teaser that was promised. Will most likely be a screenshot of the new DLC. Would love to go back to the Citadel.

Dinosaurs in gaming have been a running joke since the Call of Duty developers asked 4chan why their game got a low score on metacritic. They all said the game needed more dinosaurs, and then Dice put a toy dinosaur in Battlefield 3.

Priority Earth is not the ending.

arghhh my 2 days off are up... time to go get some sunshine... hopefully i'll be rewarded after a long day of showers and injections with some dlc news when i log back in after my morning shift... yes? yes?

You're a nurse?

sure am! i wear my n7 hoodie to handovers and the occasional patient bedside. it's rare that a patient recognises it, but it has happened.
wah! hop onto BSN on my lunch break & still nothing. just slightly going crazy here...

Good for you! Nurses are great, I spent lots of time in hospital as a kid and because you like mass effect you would have been one of the "cool" nurses.

Your profession doesn't get enough credit.

Thank you for being the voice of reason around here. I 'll never understand setting expectations to such a crazy level. Keep 'em low, then maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.

My expectation is that the DLC will have a cool premise, but it won't change the ending and it will be better than the Omega. THATS. IT.

Yeah. If it brings the focus back to the Reapers, so much the better. If Harbinger is hanging around, awesome. If my squadmates are talking again, awesome. That's most of what I'm looking for, and I don't think those expectations are too high. (Harbinger might be...)

Prority Earth is not the ending.

This too is what I am hoping on. Or something with Harbinger. Anything with Harbinger is instant greatness.

[Fedi.St]

If it's priority earth revambed it has to be free. seriously doubt that.

I am hoping on expanding the crucible situation explaining what the hell is going on OR MAYBE a bridge dlc to the mass effect 4 story!

A lot of people are assuming the next ME game is going to be "ME4", and that it's set after the trilogy.

Was that ever confirmed, or did I miss something? I got a pretty strong sense from dev comments both before and after ME3's release that nothing would, or could, be set afterwards.

Overwhelmingly people said they wanted it set after. Thats as far as it goes.

Pretty much this. Hudson said in the "Final Hours of ME3" that he didn't want to do a sequel but that was before ME4 was even decided on being developed. They may decide to go with fan feedback on this one.

Hopefully so! It's why I have not bought any of the subsequent ME3 DLC (Leviathan/Omega) even though I bought all of the ME2 DLC, because while the ME2 DLC progresses the story, the ME3 DLC it is going over old ground and changing nothing with regards to the outcome. I find that going over old ground just isn't interesting. I think this is one of the problems with doing a prequel, because the story is going to have to follow a certain path in order to fit the start of the ME1/2/3 story. If I already know the outcome, I find it it takes away a lot of the enjoyment of discovery. I want to feel like I don't know what is going to happen next. I want to see the story grow and evolve over time. Hence, I would definitely like to see a sequel, or at least something/anything after the events of ME3. I want to move forward in time, not backward.

I am hoping it will be sequel. Nothing has been confirmed!

Now, this is an argument I just don't get. 

If it's a self-contained story on a smaller scale, how would it be affected by how the trilogy ends?

Nothing was confirmed at all, however, the vibe of "no sequel never nada definitely not" has changed. Casey Hudson himself asked on Twitter whether fans would prefer ME4 to be sequel or prequel. The sole fact that sequel idea is even considered is a big change since pre-ME3 release

Watch it be about the first contact "war" and then bioware saying that we "overwhelmingly" demanded it.

I think the "people" were video game developers, or maybe other voice actors or directors.

In addition, it's equally likely, if not more so, that she was talking about another project she was on than ME3.  SPARTAN Ops or the like.
