I'm assuming that when they say it starts at the Cerberus base they mean we can reuse our post ending saves where it resets to that point?

You are correct.

Sigh. As much as i want to be excited for the EC, i just can't be, especially after listening to that Mac & Casey podcast. They clearly have no idea what was wrong and have decided to tell us what the crap smells like instead of cleaning it up. It appears bioware hears but does not listen. I will still play it, but my expectation is at rock bottom at this point.

this is going to be a fail

[Landon7001]

not that the me franchise needs any more negativity, but this is going to be an epic disaster if they dont explain the breath/shep lives scene....THE ABSOLUTE BIGGEST thing people are looking for is seeing their shepard live in some scenario {and reunite w/ LI}.....it sounds like that wont happen nor will that one little scene even be explained so I'd brace yourselves everybody.......all hells gonna breake loose.....

@Master Che, I don't see where it's stated that they won't explain the ending where Shepard lives because it was 1.1 GB over the cap.

Look again.  Page 42. Towards the bottom.  Just before ur post.

I swear, I'm not trying to troll. I genuinely don't see the source. I see where you said it, but where is that information coming from?

[David7204]

What I fear more than anything else is that they've added a few worthless bits and pieces here and there and moved straight to an epilogue. A scene of Shepard's squadmates boarding a shuttle for some reason before the beam run. A few lines of technobabble dialogue between the Catalyst and Shepard to 'address' all the valid complaints fans have had. A scene of Anderson stumbling into the beam. Maybe a scene or two of Rachni ships flying in and firing a shot.

And nothing has changed. Nothing. Shepard is still dead. The Mass Relays are still gone. Not a single bit of closure for all the evidence and foreshadowing of Indoctrination that fans have worked so hard on and done an outstanding job putting together. No real addressing of the Crucible, or the Catalyst, or the beam, or the Reapers. No happily ever after, no going back and keeping all the promises Shepard made.

No hope.

And the epilogue would add some stupid speech about how great Shepard was, while showing flashbacks. Maybe by a squadmate or Joker. Surrounded by other races, all of them smiling and nodding. Making vague assertions on the importance of cooperation...and the whole thing would be one terrible joke.

God, don't let it end like that...

What's this obsession with the breathing scene? It means that Shepard lives, isn't that clear enough?

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it that's been posting today, this is your gentle reminder to ruin your day--and possibly weekend--by watching the podcast video.

I honestly wish I hadn't listened to it last night.  I'd probably be more hopeful about this if I hadn't.  

This particular horse has been beaten to death.  Let's move on, huh?

This particular horse unfortunately will be beaten long after skin and flesh is stripped off its carcass simply because the people who bought Mass Effect 3, you know, people who were Bioware's customers, wanted, was told they would have and thus expected true multiple endings in the game much like what was found in Dragon Age : Origins.
.
That this wasn't the case and that even by their (Hudson and Walters) own admission, "read everything they could" of player response whom for the most part were clear that it wasn't just clarity that was needed, that they wanted the game to not only end on a single note, and that many wanted the option, to have a good happy ending where Sbepard wins, lives and retires with love interest to raise little blue babies, build that house on Rannoch, wrestle baby krogans or just get drunk on a beach with Garrus,.. Whatever, are all ignored and we are told in not so many words that feedback if it did not go along with the "artistic vision" were not considered "constructive"

Would this then, this very feedback, be considered as non constructive?
If so, then i am very sorry because it is legitimate in its intent to convey my disappointments and why I am disappointed with Bioware as a company whom services and products I purchase as a customer. That the way this has been handled, how it is handle and what was said by the principles are in perception veiled insults and in doing so stand to loose me as a customer.

As I can only speak for myself, I won't presume others feel the same.

So, Yes the horse is dead.
But not the issue that killed it.

It's about the question of, is this the end of Shepard's story? If he's dead and crispy then yes. If he's got a breath left in him then the answer is maybe. And while we assume it's Shep who's inhaling due to the N7 tag, the question of why is Shepard alive at all and what are the implications of his being alive in one out of three endings?

This forum, and this thread, are about the story of the game and not the performance of two Bioware employees in a video.  We will know how effective or ineffective the Extended Cut is next week. 

If you believe the developers need to publicly dine on ashes for their sins, then the point's been made.  Move on.  Discuss the actual game.

I dont buy this 10 minutes thing. Ok so ME3 is like 11GB with the multiplayer I heard. EC is 2 GB. How in the name of ass is a dlc thats 1/5 the size of 2 discs worth of content going to be 10 minutes long?! Sure theres variables an stuff like that but this is 2 gigs of content were talking here, bigger than shadow broker and that dlc took like 3 hours to beat! Idk man...

People fear that the EC will leave them hanging with regard to Shepard? I don't need an explanation of why she's alive, actually, but if so, then to not mention it in the epilogue would be dumb.

You and I both know the answer to that. This isn't an art film Ieldra. This is not Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon. People want to know what happened and why.

But I agree with you.

Obviously not, as they're still not aware of why we detest the final installment of the story.

Why would we be told something this concrete if it's not the case?  At this point, the thing is done, so it's not like they don't know how long it takes, and it probably would have been corrected or removed if it were false.

yeah.....i hope im wrong or missed something but it seems shepard is dead in every scenario. period. no regard for what the millions of fans are actually saying.... all hells gonna break loose come tuesday......closure and letting go......wow...

[clarkusdarkus]

We need something random to appear other than the catalyst, maybe he should be holding say something like the box from hellraiser, a gateway to another place......have no idea what that has to do with EC....but thought id bore you with it.

people just love the game, dude

and everyone feels like it's all dying and fading away. they want to express that because this might be the last time they ever do.

but that's just my opinion. we'll see how the ec fares come tuesday.

1.9 gigs? Less than 1/8th the space of my ipod NANO?!? Come on, get some programming going.

Think the size was limited to 2Gigs due to Xbox dowload size.

The attitudes of the project director and the lead writer are very relevant to the E C.
If they refuse to understand why fans are upset with the ending, what hope is there?

Has it? All we want is simple acknowledgement. Saying things like "fans can't let go of characters" and "we can't change our artistic statement" is not only missing the point, but seem outright antagonistic to us.
We resent Walters and Hudson claiming total ownership of the story after being repeatedly told it was ours too.
