I have $23,753.78 in the bank. Bioware can have every last penny. I consider it an investment, not for a game, but my own happiness.

If I'm the only one who invests, so be it.

If my contribution results in a single text slide, it would be enough. It would mean that I made a difference, that I didn't give up, and that I didn't let Shepard down.

It's been nearly 8 months. I can't get over it. I cant move on. I tried to by happy. I've tried to forget.

I guess I'm just looking for a bit of hope, because I ran out of it a long time ago.

My advice is that you should invest that money in something truly important. Mass Effect is a game. It is escapist entertainment, a frivolity in the grand scheme of things. I sincerely hope that your post contains hyperbole. Keep your priorities in perspective, and realize that there are other things in life that can make you happy. 

Money will not get you everything. Yes, BioWare is a company that exists to make a profit, but that does not mean that they will compromise any time someone offers them a monetary incentive. If the writers feel like going in a certain direction with a story arc or a character's development, they will more often than not do so. It is fully within your right to be disappointed with such decisions, but do not expect changes to be made due to that dissatisfaction.

Yes, it has been eight months since ME3's release and four months since the EC DLC. It has been long enough to realize that they will not make any more significant changes to the endings. The reason for this is not money, it is because the developers themselves are satisfied with their endings and do not want to change them.

Nah, just send them Cupcakes.

[blueumi]

no also even though I hate the ending it's still the one bioware wanted and in a strange way I respect that

I'm going to stick to dragon age i'm sure that will be good in some way since I don't like full shooter games and thats what mass effect will be from now on so no thank you

If they made a good ending, one that made sense with the Mass Effect universe I'd fork over thirty dollars worth of microsoft points for it easy. Mass Effect was something special to me as it was with everyone. The "artistic vision" is bull. They caved and let one guy write it. So yes. I'd be more than happy to pay for an ending worthy of the ME Trilogy.

I'll take that money if your so eager to throw it away on crap and crap accessories.

Do the smart thing, save it, build it up, make enough so that when you are old and maybe have someone who you can see living and dying with and start a family with ****** kids, becasue frankly everyone who grows up into that age is a ******, even the smart ones, and they eventually go on to live their own life you can just relax, not have to take a job, and live off the money you saved.

Or you can blow it on a dlc for a game that will lose all relevancy in 30 to 40 years, that works to.

[Necrotron]

There is one modder working on a modded ending, that is our only hope. Nothing official will ever come.

Mass Effect isn't Dragon Age in that it is easy to mod, so we may never get really what we want, but I hope someone can mod something up.

we would have the exact same issue that is goin on with all those Kickstarter projects, they get donations, then scrap whatever the donations were for and pocket the Cash.

I honestly do not think Bioware would just pocket the cash for a kickstarter-like donation, but I would not risk the money..

they already did it...

no they did not, we actually got a product, even if it did not satisfy many.

the issue going on with Kickstarter is people are donateing to fund games they like the sound of then the developer cancels the project, and takes all the money people had donated to fund it for a "night on the town"

As far as I understand backers get their money back if the project does not meet the minimum.

I wouldn't pay thousands of dollar for a new ending.

But I would pay for a DLC that at least added closure to a "live Shepard' ending.

OP, this is just my opinion but I think many might share it: I don't want to seem judgmental, but I really think based on what I read that your 23k might be better spent on therapy. External causes can contribute, but happiness comes from within first and foremost.

I appreciate your passion, Humanoid, but don't you think that you should rewrite your sig to say "The Sound and the Fury?"

 Forget about that iakus because that  would not be a dlc with "artistic BOSS  vision".....

Wow.. just... no.

I like it how it is, there are many words.

[Hudathan]

I don't believe you.

[Grubas]

so far certain fanfics showed greater insight and understanding, then what bw has offered. Sad but true. fans caring more for lore and narrative.
i dont want bw to participate in any ending debate, it
would just add more meaningles content I dont care for.

[clone wars]

ok the day i pay for a new ending is the day that zombie kill us all

o_O

While, I sympathize... No way is BW having more of my money to fix one of their own mistakes.

You would seriously give that much money away? Don't you have school or something to pay for...

[Necrotron]

Well, just imagine if the original Lord of the Rings trilogy was instead a highly invested video game where you got to customize your character, and the ending of the story was you get to mount doom and a never before seen master of sauron appears who offers you:

A) become Sauron yourself by putting on the one ring (despite the entire narrative before showing that's a bad idea)

Kill all orcs (and consequently elves and magic too)

C) Make all of Middle Earth half-orc to resolve the conflict

You bet people would be varying degrees of upset. You may find the OP's suggestion ridiculous, but at least you should be able to empathize with the amount of frustration a lot of people feel about the ending of Mass Effect.

i say deal with it. take a break, play something else. do something else. after 6 months or more play it again. you ll love it and you ll know what to expect.
I am replaying dragon age 2 atm with a more open mind , knowing it's faultsand i love it. before that i would say "burn every copy of this abysmal game".
boy was i wrong.

  I'll tell you what.... somebody someday with millions of dollars might just make their own ending in secret.  Then, they will anonymously release it so people can get it.  It'll blow away the current ending that Bioware has.
