Bioware doesn't seem to understand the far reaching implications of this ending. To help give perspective on this I will elaborate. I have friends who do not play RPG's or get that much into Sci-Fi who now know through my word of mouth just how unsatisfying the ending is in it's current state. If I am ranting to my friends that don't care about this **** and they understand why I am upset what do you think that means for my friends that do care about it? This has become a cultural phenomenon and I don't mean that in a good way. Currently, ME3 is known by everyone, both inside the industry and outside of it, for having a terrible ending. It is foolish to stay the course under such conditions and it is foolish to think this will not hurt Bioware in the future.

First +30 to EvilChani.

Bioware , just keep doing that , dont give your costumers what they want , keep making average games and stupid endings like you did with Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3 , keep saying your costumers dont understand true Artistic Vision , i want to see how much more your "most loyal" "Passionate " ( as you call ) fans can take.

So I heard that the "ME2 LIs & crew will get some love" via the EC. Wonder what that means.... A happy ending with Thane is sadly impossible, but my Sheps who romanced Miri and Jack would love some more content.... I hope that will happen.

[MisterJB]

Has there been any hint pertaining the chances of seeing war assets participate in the battle?

No Thane = Single Sheppard for me.

All thats been said that I think could relate to it is that Jessica said there would be added content inbetween Cerberus HQ and the Catalyst scene

[zvetro]

 Hey guys, I'm on my first play through still, I've been waiting for the dlc to come out, I've gotten to the point where I am about to assault Cerbarus, if I stop playing now, will the dlc take affect and let me play it from this point?

The game auto saves right before you assault cerberus. Extended cut takes place from there. I recommend quickly finishing your game before EC hits so you can see the differences.

[Redbelle]

Aye, go for it. Get to the end and have the original ME3 ending experience.

You can keep your save from before you assault CHQ but if you choose restart the mission from that point you'll end up back at the CBQ assault I believe

[RainbowDazed]

Noooo, don't do it! [jumps in front of the bullet]

Wait for the EC. Don't let your soul be violated by the vile abomination that the current ending is.

as long i'm reunited with Tali i'm happy if that don't happen i'm done with ME and bioware in general.

Same thing here, but with kaidan ;o;

God I'm depressed again now, thinking about waht this EC ending will not give me & I'll be sad again for 3 month ;o;

[MOELANDER]

I seriously don't want to play Mass Effect again. I couldn't force myself even if I wanted to.
It's not that I was hurt this badly by the ending. It's because I have since May played WAY better games, both in story and design. those were:

Played for the first time:
- Batman Arkham Asylum (was a budget title and led me to buying...)
- Batman Arkham City
- Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater (3ds version)

Played again:
- X-Wing Alliance (The story is basic Star Wars, but it's great! The music, the feeling... great game!)
- Paper Mario (I love this game soooo much. Can't wait for the new 3ds one!)

These games are all superior to Mass Effect (yes all of them!) in any way.
I honestly look at the features of them and I really am thinking thoughts like:
"I'd rather collect all the Riddler's trophies, than collect all those items for the Volus etc."
"Punching people is so much cooler, than shooting mooks, that all look the same."
"I'm flying a B-Wing! I am destroying Star Destroyers with it! Reapers are boring!"
"Wheeeeeeee! Paper Mario!"

I'd suggest anyone of you to do the same: revisit old games, that you loved. Try some other games recommended by your friends, and look for mods for your favourite game!

1,9GB is quite a nice meaty piece of DLC... But why force the player to do the CHQ again, I seriously don't want to kill the cyborg ninja again...

I actually quite liked the fact that they started their overhaul a little bit farther back. I think I will just set the difficulty to Casual and play it as an interactive novel.

I had not heard that. I hope they do bring back the LI of ME2 (Samara for me) But dont know if they will. And if the EC doesn't have a ending were Shepard is alive and with his/her LI than the EC failed me, and there is no point in playing any of them anymore. And there's no point in trying to get the LI from ME2 if Shepard dies no matter what in the end.

as long im reunited with Tali im happy if that dont happens no more bioware products for me.

After playing ME3 through until almost the end and stopping because I had seen the "choices" you got and the utterly mind-boggingly stupid way the game ended, I told myself that, if they had had a scene where Shepard met Thane "across the sea", I could've stomached the rest of it and played the damned series again. Why? Because after seeing the endings, and seeing how they completely screwed the game with the forced autodialog, lack of distinction between Shepards, and forcing their "artistic view" down our throats (I'm sorry, the whole "the reapers are the good guys and just kill us so we don't kill ourselves!", and the starbrat bull**** is enough to make me puke and leaves me with the overwhelming need to shower the same way the third Matrix movie did), then I was desperate for anything that I could find redeeming about the series as a whole. And, at the very least, the reuniion between dead Shepard and dead Thane gave me a semblance of a happy, if bittersweet ending.

But you know what? As inviting as that sounds, it wouldn't have fixed the game's problems. The ending is still nerfed. They stripped out of ME3 a lot of the things that made the other two games good. They managed to make ME2 completely pointless. Their "artistic vision" sucks donkey balls and their arrogance and refusal to stop clinging to the idea that they're awesome and we're just too stupid to get it is no more than them verbally spitting in our faces after they screwed us out of our money under the promise that we would get something we did not get. As I said in an earlier post, we were told we were getting a chocolate torte - instead we got a turd pie. Them giving me a two second clip of dead Shepard with dead Thane won't change that. That damned starbrat is still there, the overabundance of autodialog remains, and, unless they actually changed the ending to fit what they had built the series toward, then the ending will still suck. 

They were given the chance to fix things. An apology for not delivering what was promised (and what we had come to expect from BioWare) would have gone a long way in mending fences, and actually addressing what we told them time and again was the our real problems - and that is not that we needed "clarity" on their piece of crap artistic "vision" - would've made most of us let it go and call bygones bygones. Instead, they insulted us. They refused to acknowledge what we said if it didn't fit what they wanted. Then they give this damned podcast so they can insult us again and act like they paid attention to what we said when they completely ignored us. If someone goes into a restaurant and complains that there's a roach in their soup, you don't bring out more roaches and a few flies to throw in it, but that's basically what it seems they're doing. 

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this DLC will actually make the game better, but given that podcast I highly doubt it. And they have damaged my view of the company, regardless. Their utter contempt for any customers who dare not get on their knees and kiss their asses for being so incredibly genius to come up with this turd should be obvious to even the most deluded of us. And this idea that, somehow, we owe them respect and adoration for whatever crap they want to throw in our faces is downright insane. They didn't give us this damned game. We didn't get paid to spend hundreds of hours playing the previous games, much less for whatever time we spend on ME3. We don't owe them ****. They owe us. They owe us for the way we have, in the past, spread word of their games and encouraged our friends and family to play them. They owe us for preordering their games for no other reason than we blindly trusted them to give us what they have always given us in the past. They owe us for the multiple copies of their games we've bought as gifts or just so we can have them in other locations or available in other forms. 

If this DLC doesn't fix this, then we need to get it into our heads that we should not "just be happy that" they gave us a squad reuinion or LI reunion even though they still didn't fix the major problems. We should not lower our expectations because they fail to deliver. That's a mistake because all BioWare will learn from it is that they can treat their fans like **** and produce games that leave us unhappy and we'll still shove our money at them. You don't reward failure and narcissism. You don't let companies that treat their customers with contempt ride on a reputation you helped build for them. No, instead, when they fail you...when they treat you with contempt...you make damn sure everyone you know hears about it and make that company understand that, while you did help them build a good reputation you can work just as hard to destroy it. That's the only way they get it, and it's the only way you ensure that companies will even attempt to do right by you.

Same here and I really don't want a repeat of how I felt when I first saw the ending on March 14th.
