What's the incentive to buy the DLC, when we know the game ends the way it does?

Thats like saying "If im going to die anyway whats the point of living life?."  Im buying DLC because im not going to let some star kid and buill crap magic stop from becoming depreset and all like AH ENDINGS SUCK MASS EFFECT SUCKS NOW BLAH BLAH. I just love more Mass effect. I see people are DONE with the game and still coming on a MASS EFFECT forum and make forums about the game they supposdly got over.

For me, the pre-EC endings were so bad that I had no desire for any pre-end DLC that didn't affect the endings. The EC changed some things in the endings (no more exploding relays, no more horridly damaged Normandy stranded on a planet, etc) and made the endings seem less rushed and depressing. Still, if the new DLC doesn't affect the endings...well...eh...I've seen how the story ends.

The difference between pre-ending DLC content for ME2 and ME3 is that the ME2 DLC might not have affected the ME2 ending, but it could have impacted ME3. That's what made the ME2 DLC important. We don't really have that opportunity with DLC in ME3 because the endings of the Shepard story are already set in stone.

If the new ME3 DLC does impact the endings in a meaningful way then I may buy it. Otherwise I'lll just check out the highlights on youtube if I'm bored.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I have no tolerance for Star-Jar's gibberish to check it myself, but didn't the little scamp say something like "Oh, it could have been possible to do that, but there was not enough time?", possibly regarding killing the Reapers without taking the Geth and Edi out with them? There's your planned opening for DLC affecting the ending, though I fail to see how this would make the slightest difference for people who just see how broken the whole Dennis the Reaper sequence is. What it would do is just demonstrate pretty clearly that the "hard ethical choice" of the destroy ending was just BW holding a gun to the puppy's head to make you pay for DLC.

Well some people might want the story or this super sniper that you get if you buy it, for me, if there is not a hugh reaper killing gun that doesnt require Sheperd to kill himself to get rid of the space squids then I wont buy it

I don't really understand the point either. Even if they utilize the DLC to "expand" on the story-line, we'll still likely wind up with more convoluted, lore-conflicting, and vexingly ambiguous explanations like we receive with the Catalyst in the EC. All the Catalyst really says is, "the Reapers are old and built by a race you don't know for some purpose, but I won't tell you because we're running out of and time; oh, and I did something to them at some point." I find it hard to believe that Bioware will handle it any differently in the DLC installments.

I'll maintain my reservations, however. Perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Only DLC I am interested in at this point is DLC with expanded LI content & further explanation of what happens to shepard in destroy ending.  Breath scene left more questions than answers.

Because they can be fun in and of themselves, OP.

Why does anyone play video games? It certainly isn't for the consequential effects on your real life.

There isn't one. With ME2, Arrival and LotSB had a lot of appeal partly because they were bridges between games. They were very good, but it also helped that there was (at least for me) a sense of advancement. Knowing for a fact that no knowledge you get, no resources you gather, no matter what etc. etc. you still have to accept Starjar's BS at the end? I just don't care. Or worse yet, they might make a DLC specifically to flesh out some of the worthless BS spacebrat spews.

Again, NONE of the previous DLC did anything significant besides cameos and war assets. There was also NOTHING that said LotSB or Arrival or Overlord would impact the ending or do anything in ME3, but you bought those anyway too.


We bought it because we didn't know ME3/it's ending is going go be such a huge disappointment. Now that we know, there is no reason to buy anything ME related, at least not for me.

hehe its a theory that popped into my head when the Levi Reaper stuff was leaked.  Its filmsy. But

Most of us are saying why would buy the rogue reaper DLC when it will up my war assets but have no effect on the ending. 

Well it just might.   I mean that is a piece of story that is missing, a rogue reaper, think about that.

So to save their bums in the long run, Bioware can introduce this character, plot, war asset, and possible ending changes, because of one Reaper.


Because who in their right minds at Bioware would think we would buy DLC that will have no effect on the endings.

Which is why I call it the Breacdcrumb theory.  Bioware is dropping a breadcrumb trail to salvage it rep and its relationship with its fans.

It's highly possible that after completing the DLC, you have extra dialogue with the Catalyst about the Leviathan. Maybe they'll even put extra hard work in it, with some of our war assets fighting for glory in Earth cutscenes, so before the ending.

I think the only DLC I would pay for is Shepard Lives DLC or Shepard and LI go on a holiday DLC.

I honestly think I've had enough of going from room to room and finding chest-high cover like I'm playing Uncharted, so I'd like DLC with actual variation like the first Mass Effect game.

I won't purchase it unless it effects the outcome in some way, I mean come on it would be insane for that final horrible conversation with the Starbrat and he just freaking ignores the large Reaper sitting outside the window watching Shepard :o


If Bioware wants to introduce a rogue Reaper then they are introducing into cannon that Reaper can have pure independent thoght aside from the mission they have to do,  so if all Reapers or maybe even 1/3 of the Reaper fleet can be brought around hello conventional victory odds.

Either way its has to alter the ending at least abit.  Utterly ridiculous if it does not.
