How does this "leak" even qualify as one? It doesn't provide anything NEW and is as vague as anything else.

So yeah, what gives?:blink:

This is the truth unfortunately.

EVERYTHING is a conspiracy.




EVERYTHING IS LIES!!!

Sorry, I had to do it.

I would be concerned, if I shared some of the interpretations of the ending. The wording about the impact of Shepard's "choices" carries the implication that the ending is literal, and the choices that end the conflict are real.

Personally, I'm not scared, but nor am I inspired by the description. It does nothing to make me believe that the extended cut will be satisfactory. I'm still just left with the fading hope that it will at least do something, and this blurb didn't make me any more hopeful.

MP and SP are separate studios.

Everybody says this, but you don't actually know it. We don't know how post-release content is really handled. (And Mike Gamble, in Edmonton, talks about how "everybody" is involved, which could imply one team spread across two groups or one and a half teams that still just work on all DLC.)

So don't keep saying this when trying to put down people who opine that multiplayer is stealing focus from single-player. You don't know how the work is divided internally or what role Montreal plays anymore.

I still don't see how this disproves anything. I guess I'll just dig out my earlier post.

"Uhm... Bioware said the exact same thing back in April. Why look at it differently now?
If the IT were intended, you would only be able to see it by playing the content itself.

It's kinda the same as the overlord DLC. In the description they only said that a cerberus research facility had gone dark. They didn't say anything about David or what happened to him, probably because they wanted to protect any leaks. The people who would then find it would only see the description of the DLC, not what happened in it.

If they would describe the DLC as "And find out what happens when Shepard either gives in or breaks free of indoctrination!" on the description, it would reveal a huge plotpoint.

Seriously, this reminds me of the time where us ITers were taking each twitter comment as evidence back in the original thread. Baseles speculation, nothing else."

If this leak-person knew stuff and didn't leak stuff indicating whether or not IT was true, that would either mean that he is
a) a good person who doesn't want to spoil that kind of thing, OR that
B) the ending is literal and there is no IT to reveal. (The horror!!!!!) <- at least to some of us

I have however re-evaluated his reliability as a source.

But he only displays the description of it! Why would Bioware reveal a huge plotpoint in the description of a product?
That would be like saying "Find out that the collectors were the protheans all along!" on the ME2 box!

I was under the impression that he knew stuff about stuff, including Major Stuff and stuff.

EDIT: Knowledge about the product descriptions (those not made official yet) might indicate a certain degree of knowledge of the content as well.

The thing is, IT says everything after the laser blast is not real/ in Shep's head. There's variation of that since there's several versions of IT. Anyway, if they're keeping the ending and fleshing out some stuff after the laser blast then pro-IT'ers can maintain that it's indoc. But what's sweet (if handled correctly) the longer epilogue at the end will flesh out the end for non IT'ers. BW can please both groups to some extent. Wouldn't that be nice? We could all be right still AND still argue! Kind of like now come to think of it. :P



There comes a time when the flame wars must end. I hope that the EC will be that end.

However, regardless if the IT is confirmed or not, I am fairly certain that another flame war will ignite on these forums.

It still remains to be seen if it will be the indoctrinationists or the literalists who will have the upper hand...


Yeah there will be more fighting........ It never ends here :P
As it stands now my problem with ME3's ending is that if you take it literally it doesn't quite make sense. It's very emotional, but there's some weird stuff going on and if one wants to take it literally, it looks like BW made some crazy mistakes. Honestly I hope the folks who take it literal get what they want so it's more even between the 2 'camps'. Light a candle!:D



"War... War never changes."

Personally, I'd prefer it if Bioware would let the player choose if it was indoctrination or not. Maybe something like a question after the end cinematic play out: "Would you like to see how Shepard's choices change the galaxy, Or would you like to see how Shepard fights indoctrination?" Then you either click on "indoctrination" or "current ending."

It would be awesome if they did that, but I seriously doubt it.



By not saying anything, they are letting fans choose if the indoctrination theory is real or not. Its the same thing as making a fan edit or fan made movie basically...its not canon, but there is no way to stop it because its part of the fandom now.


I think you mean 'by leaving it open ended to player interpretation'? If so, then to keep the ending controversial and the conversation going it probably will be that way even with the EC. I mean it'll stay open to interpretation, which is pretty cool so long as it makes other players more happy with a literal view of events.
IT is not 'canon' but it's not 'fanfic' either. Nothing in IT is based on anything outside what's been published in books, the games or tweets from BW.

So, it took Bioware Edmonton 2 months to make an "afterthought" that literally set these threads on fire for the past three months tacked on to a much larger and obviously more important MP dlc?

Please, Gamble or Priestly, tell us it isn't so!

More like four months.

Four months to throw in some cutscenes. 

I remember when Bioware was a great dev.

If he indeed did know anything about the content of the EC, then he would've leaked it, not just its description.

So all of that fan edits or fan interpretations from stuff like Star Wars was made up on the spot? 

my point is that IT is fan interpretation of the canon, therefore, it is a fandom concept that is akin to a fan edit. And hell, some people have taken the extra step in making that a reality by making images, vidoes, and so forth to support the IT theory and making fan edits to the game to show that it exists.

In the end it doesn't, but it should be allowed ot be interpreted that way.

Well lets see...

Four months since Ray gave us that horribly written PR letter saying they were "starting" an EC for the game.

So either those four months were spent on the EC...Or they were spent on other things like MP content. You know what, you're right. No way BW took four months on the EC, probably like one or two at most.

Everyone should indeed be allowed to interpret the end in any way they like. What is going to happen, though, is that the EC will either verify or debunk the IT and that will not leave a lot of room for interpreting it the other way around.

I really hope we IT-belivers will be rewarded for having a little bit of faith in Bioware's abilities and find our theory proved. That would of course result in the pro-literals being disappointed, but I've gotten the impression (please don't shoot me!) that the IT crowd consists of the majority of the biggest ME fanatics, the ones that could bring Bioware the most income in buying DLC and merchandise.

Never mind that, if you were right, EC would already be out.-_-

You realise four months ago is back in February? The official press release for EC came out mid-April, and it takes time to call all the voice actors back in, record their sections of the dlc and create the new scenes.
They've gone out of their way to satisfy the community.

I honestly wouldn't mind clarification. It seems like everybody here wants a completely renewed ending. I'm fine with it as it is, I would just like some questions answered which is what this EC seems like it's going to do.
