Hmm you know that WOULD be a fantastic idea on Bioware's part.

I mean think about Half Life 2 and it's abrupt ending. It didn't answer too many questions in the original game but Valve then build on it with the episodes.

So why not make an expansion pack that focuses on the aftermath? A story focused on the recovery and also rampant corruption that will spread after the Reaper invasion? A expansion pack with a closing scene between Shepard and his ME2's LI that ME3 lacked? A exp pack that can even add upon the ending for ME3 by allowing some extra scenes to see your war assets in action. 

Heck it could even be a jumping point for the indoctrination theory which would be awesome (in my humble opinion). 

Bioware is not exactly opposed to expansion packs. I mean we had Awakening and the almost-released Exalted March for Dragon Age, so why not for Mass Effect?

Food for thought Bioware food for thought.

Baldur's Gate had Tales of the Sword Coast
Baldur's Gate 2 had Throne of Bhaal
Neverwinter Nights had Shadows of Urentide and Hordes of the Underdark (considered by many to be better than the base game)
And of course, DAO had Awakening.

Bioware's no stranger to expansions.

Yes, plz.

Apparently there's no word on more story content; that means that whatever they are up to, it can just be another shotgun for the low, low price of 100 bioware points... Of course, if there really is more story content, then I'm happy about it, but I have learned to not expect too much.

So as to let this madness end:

This week will be quite busy as @JessicaMerizan visits EDM and we have to finalize our New York Comic Con plans & possibly a trip to EU.

personally i dont believe that they are twittering, how amazing some of the other teams work is, cause they made a new shotgun…
They are talking about MP or SP-Story (or at least some gameplay-changing) DLC.

As for the Episode-Expansion-thing: Will never happen (or else it will be a total surprise, I would appreciate that ofc):

There are just far too many possible outcomes to cover them in an Expansion/episode. ME3’s story, with or without the “****ty” (at least for some of us) end, has too many possibilities (like geth/quarians, your surviving squad, krogans, all the warassets ) HL2 had a nice story, but it was one without any decision. Before EC I had the same idea: Take Indoctrination theory and wrap it all up into a big final. But that’s not going to happen anymore. Taking all the slightly different endings with all the war assets and the choices into account, there is literally no possible way to create an expansion that everybody can play with his savegame, including the Liaras, Garrus’ and Talis. All of the original crew from ME 1 and 2 and all of your ME 3 crew could be dead, according to your choices in ME 1, 2 or 3.

if there is an expansion/episode, there will be new characters and a new squad, like in DA:A.

Of course, afaik Leliana can die in DragonAge:O and is resurrect in DragonAge2, but I don’t think that will happen in ME

EU trip? Are they talking Eurogamer Expo? Chris said in one of his tweets few days ago that they're considering Eurogamer Expo but it's taking place earlier than NYCC, wouldn't they be sure whether they're going to an expo/convention that's earlier?

Maybe it's simply easier to go from Edmonton to New York? They may have been playing to go to NYCC for a while. I think the Eurogamer Expo plans only came about because of fan request.

why didn't i think about this.

yeah, of course, it would be awesome and possibly shut most of the people who dislikes the ending.

its funny becouse if BW do this, that project X rumor could be true....

[Don_Esteban]

Its not hard to add new powers from MP, they are already balanced and in the game, its a simple c&p and will i think the next DLC will do it as Leviathan had done it. Would like to see the whip, and some of furys and slayers abilites.
A real assasin-like class (kai leng) style would be really cool, to be honest.

[magneticpolarshift]

Oh I'd be all about an expansion, whether in the form of a huge DLC or what not, heck money wise they'd be crazy not too, imo. Plus it would be a way to give back to us after ME3 was rushed out too quick.

[RenegadeXV]

The team had a big victory this weekend. In other news, sometimes i'm accidentally kind of a d--k.

I was hoping they would come to the Brazil Game Show, the biggest games convention here in Latin America. :/

Never going to happen. ME3 was a conlusion to the entire franchise. All the major issues get closure. Genophage, Geth, Cerberus, Reapers.

Dragon Age Awakening and Witch Hunt helped to set up the sequel. And the bioware devs have already said they are never making another ME3 ending DLC or ending extension.

Live with it.

A solution to the Adjutants overloading the engine? I can dream.

If players picked the refusal ending, it is finished - irrevocably, to the extent that everything we know is annihilated. Why would they include that in the Extended Cut, if there were *ever* any sort of plans to make content set post-ME3?

Prequels are all we're going to get, or things set before Shepard activated/didn't activate the Crucible. 

(I wouldn't even be too surprised if Edmonton had stopped working on Mass Effect entirely, and was preparing a completely new IP for next-gen consoles)

Refuse didn't really change much. The original endings were already incompatible enough to prevent any sequel without either picking 1 ending to follow or railroading everything like hell to one single point.

I'm not sure what would be the best for the franchise at this point. There's very little room to manouver for prequels (compared to Old Republic era in Star Wars for example). I mean, go back further than 30 years and you already lack humans on the galactic scene. This may not be an issue to super-hardcore fans but it will be a issue to casual fans/buyers, can't see a game without humans getting greenlighted. And then there are the cycles, they all have to end the same way (Reapers' victory) not to mention that all the established races are only in latest cycle.

Sequel, following 1 ending would be better IMO

I feel like any direct sequel would be on hobbles from the moment it starts. Most people around here will say they love something about ME- but the ending are a stickler. If you pick the wrong ending to impose on everyone, you are already starting at a disadvantage.

But that's not a bad thing. 30 years is no small stretch of time narratively, considering you could easily reuse characters from all games. We still have plenty of places left to explore: they could do an entire game following the same trilogy set in the terminus systems. They could follow a character from the first contact war on. We could follow the Blue Suns, or some other merc band. Even Cerberus.

Doing prequel and overlap games also allows for fan nods, such as mentioning Shepard over news blips or running into ME trilogy characters before they joined up with Shepard. Like seeing Wrex as a merc, ect.

Its a safe way of going forward. If its set more towards first contact you have an easy launch place for new people, and fans are treading agreeable territory.
