I know the idea might sound crazy, but still wanna share it because I believe it may become a brilliant addition to the current endings :)

So... Shepard makes her/his final choice and we watch the epilogue. But in the end of epilogue and before titles plus "Old Man and a Kid" scene we have an additional playable content. Game notifies us that 1 year have passed. DLC starts aboard the Normandy, and the protagonist is... Shepard's LI. If Shepard had no LI, then the protagonist is Samantha Traynor, or a squad mate with the best "romance-progress-bar" value.

The main goal of DLC depends on the chosen ending. The DLC should have about 5 hours of additional gameplay, dialogues and cut-scenes. Playable LI should be stronger than its NPC variant in terms of combat effectiveness. And after DLC is complete, we will finally see "Old Man and a Kid" scene and titles.

Control.
Goal: Reach the Citadel (Citadel Tower, Council Chamber) and talk to the Catalyst-Shepard's hologram.
Enemies: Remaining Cerberus troops.
Allies: Reaper warships and Hasks, some United Fleet forces. 

Synthesis.
Goal: Reach the Earth and talk to the Harbinger.
Enemies: Remaining Cerberus troops.
Allies: United Fleet forces, some independent Reaper warships and Hasks.

Destory.
Goal: Reach the Earth and talk to Admiral Hackket (if Shepard survived, then talk to Shepard).
Enemies: Remaning Cerberus troops.
Allies: United Fleet forces.

Refusal.
Goal: Install one of Liara's beacons and die trying to escape from Reaper forces. Watch Normandy's (and its crew) death.
Enemies: Reaper warships and Hasks.
Allies: Remaining Cerberus troops, some remains of United Fleet.



Thoughts?

Voted yes. I think these epilogues could shut up most of those who still complain about the endings. Nice thinking.

Love it. Do you mean 5 hours gameplay time for all 4 scenarios total?

I would be okay with max. 1 hour for each ending scenario.

Otherwise this would explode content wise with that many possible different Protagonists

Different Idea...how about instead of LI, you have Joker as a fixed Protagonist that is accompanied by your LI. with different vehicle sections and much higher importance of your squad´s special ability's because Joker has none.

maybe even flying the Normandy?

Good idea but in destroy it would be better if the LI is looking for shepard.

Nice idea but...I've never had an LI throughout the whole series. So maybe if you don't have an LI the protagonist can be your most preferred squadmate or closest friend (the person you talk to the most).

I think it will be better if LI herself(himself) will talk to Catalyst-Shepard, or Harbinger, or Hackket/Human-Shepard. Also, Joker is not quite good for combat encounters :)

Yes, 2 hours of DLC content for each ending variant would be more than enough I believe.

Since game actually tracks each romance progress, it can flag the closest squidmate indeed. I think it's nice idea :)

Anti-ender voted yes. Closure at last. Would buy, and this would make the rest of the pre-ending DLC worth it.

Seriously doubt we'd get it. Chris Priestly said they're not going to do anything more with the ending.

I think he only meant they will not change the endings.

I like all the ideas except the refuse one. I think the Normandy'd be one of the last ships to go. After all it's gonna be the one to install all the time capsules throughout the galaxy.

Maybe you are right.

I... don't like this. Sorry, but I've sorted out what happened after the end in my head - something like this would seriously damage my own vision. For example, post Control, I'd prefer it if no-one found out that Shep took control over the Reapers, and the Reapers then left the galaxy (after assisting with repairs). If we get post ending content, we *lose* our own ability to decide what comes next.

Of course, this just means I wouldn't download something like this. So I'm not against it... except (obviously) I'd prefer it if Bioware worked on content that I intend to play (Leviathan, for example...)

THAT SAID, I *love* the idea of getting to play as the LI for a while. But I can imagine that being quite a drag on voiceover work...
