I have to say I am really starting to like this theory. If Bioware is doing this ... well I guess we will have to wait and see. But FWIW I too agree you have done a great job, this is one of the better theories I have seen.

[Jadebaby]

Thanks very much! If you ever see anything that catches your eye out there in the world wide web that could assist this theory I'd be eager to add it in.

That goes for the rest of you too BSN

Not really, because they had to structure it this way for the MP to have any impact. If they didn't then the MP would just be a cheap gimmick horde mode aimed at doing nothing but sucking money through microtransactions.

Sounds like EA alright.

Hmm, I'm not a believer in this 100%...

But you have my attention.

My friend showed me this article that was released today. Made me think of this theory.

[nevar00]

The quotes mean nothing. There have been quotes too numerous to count from before ME 3 came out that were proven to be them just blowing smoke. Lies and massive exaggerations.

Besides you really think they're really going to make people buy 3 or so DLCs and play multiplayer in order to get the "real" ending? If you thought the backlash to the ending was bad... and it was bad backlash, bad enough that if there was a true ending out there, they surely would've said so already.

The ending was horribly written and people just can't accept that they screwed up that badly, but there was bad writing abound throughout the entire game.  They slipped up, that's all there is to it.

 Does anyone think that the last paragraph of Hackett's speech about the Operation Alloy success might relate to this?

"While we celebrate Operation ALLOY’s success, we need to be aware that the unexpected resistance faced by our soldiers may be symptomatic of a larger issue. We’ve been receiving a number of strange reports that are inconsistent with our knowledge of Reaper ground troop movement. At this point, intel is vague at best. Rest assured we are pursuing the matter."

I actually like this...as in its possible.


I would hate for this to be the case though but it seems probable.

I think that if they actually have the gall to make us pay for the ending we should've had all along, the true ****storm has yet to begin.

And if it's free?

I mean they would have made millions of the game's release & From Ashes DLC. But they would have also made and are still making money off those MP micro-transaction. It would add up to fair sum.

Ha. If This DLC is free then I'll come here and say Mac Walters is a writing god.

But isn't he, anyway?

Already have my suspicions. I call it the "Breadcrumb Theory"

Lol. That would imply there was some thought put into the ending. Although with Electronic Farts at the helm everything is bound to lead to 'how can we squeeze more money out of these idiots'?

Sometimes...I do wonder: how much thought went into the ending? Either Mac Walters is, above and beyond, the most brilliant writer ever to walk the earth...

...or...he's a less-than-mediocre writer with a decent imagination who was way in over his head when it came time to make sense of his incoherent scribblings at the end of ME3.

Sadly, "connect the dots" wasn't in the cards. So, the development team opted for "paint by number," instead.

[Jadebaby]

So I think I have a bit more to add to the theory now, suffice to say. I think the next dlc will definitely be Omega and will heavily involve Cerberus and the Crucible side of the plot.

[GhostShadow115]

I need to believe in something hopeful after Leviathan DLC.
So yes you got my attention Jade. Let's hope this will become a reality.

By the way after reading this, and looking back at the endings we got now the first thing that spring to my mind wast this little music piece:

Nice music, I love symphony style stuff.

This is still the best though


Good thinking music lol.

bump 4 updated OP, Leviathan information incorporated.

[ghost9191]

eh agree with most of this. kinda thought along the lines of this awhile back. thought the same with leviathan dlc, why add more war assets if there was no point to it. same with the levis having the ability to take down a reaper without damaging the shuttle and they can control reaper forces, would think that would help a bit at least.

thought more that it would also affect destroy ending though. somehow find a way to limit it towards the reapers. but that was just from what the catalyst said.

but again after this dlc , conventional victory seems more likely

didn't put that much thought into it though, just hoped that through dlc and mp operations we could achieve victory without the crucible.

Yeah, I agree. Back to the destroy part though, this dlc now paints destroy (as is) in a very negative light, as the Leviathans still exist and therefore, it will be inevitable that they'll take over again.

I wasn't aware of this theory beforehand but the points I brought up in this thread can easily match up the actual pieces Shepard needs, giving the theory actual context as to what we're looking for

yeah i have thought of that. there is few of them though. i mean they will be able to have "thralls" to do their bidding and such. But the reapers have the same thing and ppl are still able to fight them. I just mean they might try but with the numbers and their location known it probably wouldn't be a good idea right away

that and well you betray one ally in destroy, why not 2. and well i knew when they were talking they can't really be trusted,, and from the autodialogue my shep agrees with me

But i was just bringing up destroy as a way to keep the crucible there, or a conventional victory could be done, but at a great cost. Races will lose some, but no one race will be wiped out like in destroy. So you would have the option to fight but it would have a cost also. Giving people reason to choose the other "easy" options. But the easy way isn't always the right way so yeah

basically i don't know , with levis joining the fight and the way they talked i feel worse about the options now. just because they will be in all of them and they aren't exactly rainbows and bunnies

True... I will add a subsection to the OP of "ways it could play out." But I have thought that Omega being the next dlc will further explain Cerberus as well.

Yea, it would be cool to do it like that, fine-tuning the crucible. But then you'd somehow have to do it for Synthesis and Control as well.

[ghost9191]

@Jade8aby88

yeah true

but biggest issue for me now is even if you win conventionally , or go all weird and choose synthesis or other options ( not that the other two are weird, only synthesis is in my eyes( not just my eyes, just saying )) the leviathans will be there in each ending, and they will be a threat it seems.

It seems with the war assets and capabilities of the levis that the races are one step closer to conventional victory, and that is good but seems like it is trading one enemy for another. or they could be no threat considering their numbers and such, but idk

totally not the thread for this topic, i mean the topic about levis being enemies i guess. but other one about how the choices will be if the dlcs influence the ending

[Kalms]

I hope this turns out to be true. Good theory. I couldn't help but think that, when I reached the end (again), what a waste those Leviathans turned out to be. Hiding in their caves, padding themselves on the back.

Would be nice to actually put them to good use.
