Bill, you do realize that if IT is true but no content is released and me3 is done and over with, that the Reapers have not been defeated and are on the verge of completing their harvest right?

Yes he realizes that. Everyone realizes that. If thats how BioWare wanted to end the story then thats how it ends.

What are your thoughts on Bioware allowing people to hope for ITDLC if it's never coming?People can't start accepting there isn't more coming if they won't admit there isn't.

They did say there isn't more coming multiple times...

Not really Bill. Only community managers have. The same people who are very often (intentional or not) wrong about things.
A while back I sent Gamble a tweet with Jessicas comment about no IT DLC and no Shep in ME4. He refused to answer the first part. If it's official Bioware stance then why can't he confirm it? Devs have confirmed other things. His refusal to answer has made most people think that he doesn't agree with that statement, and he knows it. All it would take is Gamble saying no IT DLC and most would believe it. That he won't gives people hope. He knows that. If there is no reason to hope then it's intentionally deceiving.

Benezia was only partially successful here. She wanted to resist, but didn't.

She wanted to influence Saren down a gentler path, to guide him as a force for good...

Wasn't she aware of indoctrination and thought she could handle it though?

So my point is that if one is:
a)aware of indoctrination
b)of very high will and mental power
c)able of precautionary measures (in Shepard's case, solidfying in himself to destroy the Reapers no matter what = whole story and script of ME3)

One can effectively resist indoctrination, even 'direct control' by Harbinger.

It's just really really hard and its not gonna stick forever.

She's not aware of indoctrination, only when it was too late.

I don't need closure but a continuation.

Better word choice. 

Continuation is something ME4 could provide. Maybe.

Or ME5, -hinthintnudgenudge-

But really, there are a lot of ways to take what's been said. It doesn't all have to be negative.

This is exactly the same bull**** that has left a black mark on IT...
Your incessant petulant demands for base gratification have completely and utterly ruined the correct interpretation of an utterly brilliant ending...

Same ****ing **** pulled by Clevernoob and Acayvos...

That's going too far. I get your stance, but ME isn't a 2 hour movie. It's a personalized narrative. Closure was expected. Whether it's needed is debatable. But to rail against people who want it as ruining things is petulant too.

Exactly. Imagine the outcry if Bioware came forth and said "IT is the correct interperetation of the ending, but there will be no further dlc released for mass effect 3 or a mass effect 4 expanding on the Reaper conflict." This bsn would go down in flames and rightfully so because that would be the worst story telling ever.

Jesus, this is still going.

rofl at you guys "That's not the point" and "If that's the way it ends that's the way it ends". It's no wonder this forum hates IT so much, that would be the worst ending ever, far worst than the original ending.

It's ****ing brilliant...
It has usurped John Carpenter's "The Thing" as my favorite ending to anything...
It's pure art...

Thats nice.

Allow me to present to you all, the implantation theory:

It seems bizarre that almost every character in ME2 and ME3 who is around Shepard for any extended length of time becomes strongly Shepard-sexual. Just look at Samara, steely justicar who totally wants some rumpy pumpy after spending just minutes conversing with the Commander.

So, maybe the illusive man placed some kind of indoctrination beacon in shepard's genitals. Going back through ME2 and ME3, I think we can all see plenty of occasions in which this would explain a lot.

Samara, Shiala, Jack, Thane... Nobody is safe from Commander Shepard's crotch-mounted indoctrination device.

I love that some of the same people who have always agreed that IT doesnt rely on any future DLC or content being released are now outraged that some random dude said no DLC or content would be released.

...I may not agree, but given your devotion and your understanding of IT I grant you that.

You are one of the few. Most ITers like IT because it will easily answer every plothole and 'promises' a new ending.

Who's the random dude?

Anyways, I personally won't like no additional content. I can accept it though, and still consider buying future content. I'll just be more cautious.

What I can't accept being misled into thinking there will be more content by the only developer who's actually talking. Anyone who thinks it's okay for Gamble to not answer a question his community managers have if those statements are true has become a deluded Bioware apologist.

[Dwailing]

Really, all I want at this point is SOMETHING that tells me what happened to Shepard after the breath scene.

Some multiplayer producer who called Shepard "Captain Shepard"

Few, especially those with game-centered mindsets, would agree that open-ended interpretation is the proper way to punctuate a five-year series and an end to the Reaper conflict. They need to see it to believe it, especially when they're being called crazies and cultists for buying into a surreal/abstract outlook. 

I get where your mind's at---I'm a film nerd who loves Total Recall, The Thing, Brazil, Blade Runner, Mulholland Drive, everything Lynch, everything Tarkovsky, etc. etc.---but I also get why most people wouldn't want to leave this trilogy on that note, especially given the similarities that the design has to other pre-existing endings.  It's a difference of mediums and audiences.
