So we know Leviathan wont change any endings. However, I personally feel that this could just be another piece of the puzzle and that the last piece of dlc for ME3 could very well be an additional ending.

The reason for this is because we have such immoral and grey endings, it keeps suspension and hope alive.

This Leviathan dlc, in all seriousness, wouldn't have been as interesting if we had of got an outright win ending.

We are delving deep into the ocean to find something to help us combat the Reapers. If we could defeat them in the end anyway, this wouldn't be such a big deal. But we can't and it is. Meta-gaming of course, but it just feels like we can play through the game many times, But still get excited about mid-story dlc because it could influence the end result, it could be that additional puzzle piece we are missing to make the jigsaw complete.

But I digress, so the question is, once it's all said and done, would you be more surprised if they don't change the endings, or if they do?

This isn't about what you'd prefer, per se, just what you'd be more shocked about.

I would definitely be more shocked if all these MP operations and SP dlc doesn't amount to anything.

I'd be surprised if they did.

I would honestly be surprised if they do change the ending or add new ones. The concept of this DLC is odd to me without more endings though. It doesn't make sense for me to consider purchasing a DLC where we are searching for another way to stop the Reapers since everyone has already thrown all in with the Cruicible and the only way to defeat the Reapers is with the Abitrary A, B, C ending choices the Reaper Overlord allows Shepard to make. So this DLC at first blush seems like another instance of them disregarding their own narrative to try and make a few extra bucks. We'll see though.

The angle they are going with in this DLC 'something that can destroy a reaper' is an odd one to take. After so much talk of conventional victory not possible, they decide to go with this angle? I don't know why they would do that, it just seems like they're dangling false hope in front of people.

However while it would be cool I doubt they will release a new ending.

It would make ME3 unfinished product, DLCs aren't supposed to be essential. That would create a dangerous precedence, which would probably bite us, the customers, in the a*s in the long run. So I don't expect it to happen, unless it would be free... which is again very unlikely.

It wouldn't be essential if they did one though, no canon ending right? It would come down to preference of if you want a new one or not.

[Tealjaker94]

Not at all. I would be shocked if they added a new ending.

That was free.

Nothing coming from bioware surprises me anymore

[Conniving_Eagle]

I'm hoping.

[flanny]

well considering that bioware lied with the pre-release comments, the fact they said the EC wouldn't change their ending but they then changed several points. Nothing would surprise from them.

[JaceBelerin]

I expect nothing from.this to change the endings more than a few dialog lines. They are what they are. It's a sad truth, but to think otherwise would be bad for me as I would be let down so hard when all SP DLC comes out and nothing changes.

What property EC has, that was specifically mentioned in my post  and what makes it possible to break the "DLC not essential" rule?

edit: Meh sorry no prize for you Tealjaker94 won it already, before I posted the riddle.

A very recent IGN Article states that the DLC adds a "rift" to the Ending. However I'm not sure what exactly is meant by that, whether it actually adds Dialogue and/or a Scene(s) to the Ending or just provides you with information that makes you think about the Ending differently.

Many people agree that EC made game much better to be re-plyable again. Which makes it an essential addition. Which mean that ME3 was unfinished product.

And, yes, I know it was free, but it wasn't in a paid game from start.

A month ago I would have been surprised. It would have been good business sense to please jilted customers, no matter WHAT the original plan was. Nowadays...I don't think they're ever going to fix it. I still hope they do, but it's one of those sad wouldn't-it-be-nice-ifs that usually apply to world peace happening or politicians being servants of the people. I really think that the Bioware we knew is dead.

Yep, but that makes it more akin to a patch than DLC. It just patches the story elements, aside from technical problems. It polished elements already in the game, without really adding anything new.

[Leon Felps]

I'd be more surprised if they did. However, if SP DLCs tank profit wise, I'd be more shocked if didn't change things. Why ****** away future franchise money? Any changes that would be accepted by the majority of dissenters I seriously doubt would turn off those happy with what's out now. Screw this integrity notion. You're a business first, and changing the story doesn't magically wipe your "true vision" from existence anyway.

[SpamBot2000]

No more guessing games for me.

A "precedent" that already happened anyway in the competition. And the skies were not brought down for it anyhow.

They certainly have realised by now that there_is_quite the demand for additional end- or epilogue-content, not to mention sequels. Therefore, it would only be in their best interests to explore possibilities in those areas further.

Until we can find a better way to shut down the Reapers w/o sacrificing other species freedoms, this game wont ever feel complete to me.

[tanisha__unknown]

If they did, of course. Otherwise we would have had different reactions right from the beginning.
