Actually, only community managers have said that. Hudson and Gamble have refused to even acknowledge that question. Same community managers who denied Omega and other content? Reliable for sure


Nope. Gamble said no post-ending DLC. Hudson hasn't said anything for months.

Why waste time and money validating headcanon that its fanatical followers believe is irrefutable?


Not good business, IMO.

Lol see post above. Great twist ending plus IP still intact. Right right, terrible business practice

BTW, I love how you only make opinionated attacks instead of presenting rational arguments. Keep up the crusade, you'll get there eventually


Lol @"great twist ending"

IT is just "it was all a dream" and "reset button".

1. You got fooled right?

2. No, because nothing you see is retconned. There is real world consequences to your actions during the hallucination. It's not going backward, it's movingfforward

I think this thread should be closed, because it has no other purpose but trolling and provoking negative reaction...

...This thread is one more example why all "IT" discussions should be moved to fan-fiction section of the forums.

How can you people be against IT when you don't even know what it is? It's only an indoctrination attempt starting most likely after Harbingers laser blast that conveniently misses Shep

But your choice DOES matter. Your Shepard got indoctrinated. They aren't going to retcon that away. Your story is just over. Like Sheps who die in the suicide mission.

Exactly, my choices don't matter because there is only one "correct" choice.  If I do anything else, if my Shepard's ideas stray an iota from the "correct" path, it becomes a failure path.

Multiple outcomes each with their own drawbacks and benefits are what an RPG should aspire to.  The suicide mission punished Shepard for rushing and not making sure the team's mind was on the mission.  This would punish Shepard for being the Shepard I have roleplayed instead of the Shepard you have roleplayed on the grounds of ideology.


So the problem is that there are more incorrect decisions as opposed to correct ones in some variations of IT for you? Becuase if you made too many wrong choices in ME2, you die and cannot continue your game. But there are technically more ways of getting Shep to survive ME2, more permutations of what crew members are sent on which tasks, of who is loyal and who is not, of who may or may not have been recruited. But there are decidedly wrong ways to go about it. And not every iteration of IT requires that you don't get to see the rest of the game unless you pick destroy (ala NWN). You could wake up after every choice but have different final ramifications based on choice aboard the dream Citadel (killing the Reapers outright, partially giving into indoctrination and suiciding before crewmate kills the Reapers, fully going dark side and being put down by a crewmate before they activate crucible and end the Reapers, just to give some examples).

So don't hate on IT because of some self-constructed "wrong choice" premise. It doesn't have to be that way. And BioWare was more than capable of pulling this off in the past.

First off. If an epilogue to ME3 was to be made, it wouldn't be in a DLC. Much too small. No I believe it would be an expansion pack.

Which means that NO more endings, whether it proves IT or not. Deal with it.

GEEZ. This again. First off, the ending we got is the ending. Second, if there was to be an IT DLC / Expansion pack it would act as an epilogue much like how Arrival does to ME2. (without being able to do before the ending...) This mean that you are right in that after the choices it IS the ending of ME3. Epilogues are not endings but events that occur after the main plot.

The problem is that there's only one correct choice. As someone here said -- Chemiclord, I think -- ME3 is simultaneously being derided for not having alternative paths and besieged by fans demanding removal of some of the alternates it does have.

I was actually saying that ME2 did it right, if you didn't catch on.  I also said that what ME2 did right was to base failure upon how well Shepard prepared and got to know her crewmates rather than ideology.  Under most IT variations I'm familiar with, would be as if success or failure depended on keeping or destroying the base rather than preparation.

All the versions of the IT theory I've read seem to be based on the idea that the only path to true victory resides in destroy, with everything else being suboptimal if not an outright failure.  Here's something from poster Aurora313 in the synthesis thread that gets across why I like the current setup.

Aurora313 said...

It is still my standing opinion that each ending is chosen to suit that individual Shepard's ideals and personality.

People
who agree with TIM, take the control. Shepard becomes a literal god and
benevolence or malevolence is up for debate. The Reapers become
protectors with God!Shepard at the lead, purely because it respects
everything the organic Shepard had to sacrifice to make it happen.

People
who agree with Anderson, Take destroy. The Reapers are destroy but the
immediate problem that the Catalyst was constructed to deal with is not
solved, though if Rannoch is any indication, then it just proves that
the Catalyst and the Leviathans were completely wrong in their
assessment in the first place.

People who agree with Legion's
sacrifice, take Synthesis. The Galaxy becomes augmented in a way that
allows a higher level of understanding with each other, including the
Reapers. The races gain an explination to the Reapers' actions and
whether they maintain peace or turn to warfare is completely up to the
individual race leaders.

People who call the Catalyst out on it's
hypocritical BS, they can refuse and allow the next cycle to finally
win and break free forever. Shepard's forces die on Earth and he's
around long enough to see it happen while slowly dying himself, but he
goes out with the satifaction of knowing he did not compromise his
humanity nor his morals like TIM did.

  IT takes that away.

I did not take a cheap shoot you have to look at this from everyones point of view not just you're own.

Because control and synthesis aren't possible. Don't get mad because your delusions of grandeur aren't legit. What, you shouldn't be able to make a bad choice? That's why it's not an ABC ending.

Note that while IT-Dream is unlikely, Bio could still "support" IT-Con with a Reunion DLC. Since that would require a player to pick Destroy, The Twilight God could still run around saying that Control and Synthesis are indoctrinated choices, and people could still ignore him.

IT should be priced at 60$ and you need to own every single game, DLC as well as novels, merchandise, etc
