It provides a reunion, of sorts, for Destroy.

I approve


Yes, you are right. "Real" reunion only, if you choose the right choice. The Normandy Crew is trying to find Shepard. The could have success, they could not have success.


I think most people would be okay with the reunion requiring really high EMS.

I think that wouldn't be a problem, too. But sometimes I feel that a few players would have a problem with it.

For those that think that there isn't a enemy anymore: It is an idea, too, that it is a "Finding Shepard" - Mission without enemies like the DLC in ME 2, where you have to find crew members at the first Normandy.

No enemies, just walking and talking a lot? Well, this also may work, but will require much more voice actors' work. Fighting can't be replaced with just walking around. Something should happening anyway, because we are talking about 1 hour of additional content for each ending variant.

It is an idea, too. But the important thing is the Reunion of Shepard with the LI and the crew. But fighting would be better.

I think that the potential of this DLC is that it can show the moments immediately after Shepard's choice from a different point of view, actually immersing the player in this new post-Reapers Galaxy that has changed according to your choice.

So do not focus too much on the "Shepard reunion with the LI" that everyone keep asking... actually, the most interesting scenario is the Refuse one, where you got to fight to place the beacon and then die while everyone else in the Galaxy is doing the same. It could really show the player the sacrifice he made refusing the Catalyst's choices.

(Synthesis is a personal favourite, also, because we could get to talk with Harbinger about the Reapers and the future of the united Galaxy.)

I think at the refused ending, everything is over. Your crew and Shepard will die, sooner or later. To make it short:

Refuse: Shepard, the Crew and the Fleet will die in the final battle. So it isn't like the others ending. And by choosing this ending, everything is over.
Synthetis: After returning to Earth and fighting and looking for Shepard's body. EDI analyse that he is dead...a honor death.


Control: After returning to Earth and fighting and looking for Shepard's body. The crew discovered him at the new Catalyst. They can contact him. Maybe the end of the romance from Shepard and his LI.
Destroying: After returning to Earth and fighting and looking for Shepard's body. The crew discovered his body and rescued him. Shepard will return to the Normandy. Maybe marriage with his LI. You can inviting Shepard's LI to your cabin.


If Bioware wants to continue with Mass Effect 4, what i don't really want then:

Refuse: It's over
Synthetis: He won't be there
Control: Shepard maybe at the normandy, but as a KI.
Destroying: If Shepard dies, then it's over. But if not, then he will be on the Normandy with his LI, but he won't fight because after this, Shepard will be unabled to fight.


He will be unabled to fight, because I think he shouldn't be a main character, because he only survives in one ending. New Protagonist could bei for example: Major Coats.


But what could ME 4 be about:

I want ME Triology to be end, but if they continue, they only can be an intergalatic war. As you can see, Shepard only assumes Control or destroyed to Reaper or make the Reaper at little bit organic (by Synthetis) in our Galaxy. The homeworld of the Reapers are in the neighbour Galaxy.


There are a few speculations because of ME 4, so I made this idea. Better is it to end the Mass Effect Series with this DLC.

I really doubt there will be ME4, but I'm sure there will be more games in ME Universe.

Yeah, but it wouldn't be a solution to make ME as an Ego-Shooter. It must be how it is...and it only continues the story or what will happen far in the past. But the galaxy is saved now (if you choose the right ending) and Stargazer talks about the "glory Shepard". So i think you can't continue ME, where the galaxy is in danger. Maybe a fight in other galaxies, at the homeworld of the Reapers (you only control, change or destroyed to Reaper in your galaxy) and save other species??? Mhhh...not a bad idea but the best is to finish the triology with an "Shepard's fate - DLC".

Yes, Shepard's story ends with ME3. But I think it's not a reason for not making a "sequel-trilogy" with new protagonist and new dangers :)

Then it will be a new universe?

But there is one thing about the Stargazer, I hadn't thought about. Stargazer: "Tell me another story about Shepard"...mhhhh

There are possibilities for ME 4 with Shepard, too. A Bioware developer told us, that we have to keep our saved data of ME 3.

But it would be realistic to end the triology with this DLC.

ME 4 with a new protagonist in a new universe could be cool, too, but it must be like this (gameplay) and very different (story)...but at this moment i can't think about Mass Effect without Shepard.

 Interesting Idea.

It could either partially redeem Bioware (not, by any means, fully.)
Or it could just dig them deeper into the hole that they've already dug themselves into.

If we want a new universe within ME Universe, then we should accept inevitable Synthesis, I suppose :)
I have some thoughts about that, by the way:

I really like this idea, too.

Previous concerns about the 8 different protagonists recording an entire DLC's worth of dialogue, plus download restrictions are shared here.

But as a ME3 expansion - this would be AWESOME.

Hell, I'd even spring for a ME3-2 (Square Enix style) from this perspective.

Mhhh, but well...I prefer a ME 4 in a new universe without depending on ME 3's decision. A completely new series, with the gameplay (developed) of ME 3.

If I'm thinking about the ending of ME 3 and looking forward to ME 4, which will defend on ME 3's decision, then we must say:

-Reapers are very strong, but there must be something that is much more stronger than the Reapers, because the Reaper's fate is the basic of it.

And if i think about the Reaper, then I must say that you only win against them with the Citadel and the Crucible and if you have a strong military.

No Crubible or Citadel, but with very very very strong military you wouldn't have a chance.



So the best is to end this triology and open a new universe or fighting the Reapers at the homeworld depend on your decision.

Your target would then be "organicising", destroying or controlling the Reapers at the homeworld and homegalaxy. But well it couldn't have been with Shepard, because only in one of many possibilities he survives.




Edit: Well. To fight the Reapers at the homeworld, using dark energy, if Reapers were destroyed, is a good idea.

I think sequel is not possible without the Synthesis. Because in case of Control we have invulnerable defender, and in case of Destroy we are out of powerfull enemies...

...But this is just my opinion :)

This is definitely a very interesting idea.
One of my gripes with the ending is a lack of real closure or reunion with the LI.

Post ending DLC wouldn't be bad while a canon ending would be picked.

There is no "canon" ending.
