I don't see the point in crying over a dead rabbit.

I'm just quoting somebody, but i found it pretty interesting. I still don't have an opinion on the matter cause i have no idea what they're planning.

"Data gathered suggests the loss of consumers and traffic on the BSN is far more significant than previously believed, even by me on a good day.

Now that the goodwill from everyone is well and truly dried up, (Leviathan umors that it would add more to the ending, Omega's in-comunity hype) and we've seen that even that couldn't truly carry Mass Effect 3 DLC sales through, and the potential flush of new Customers they were hoping for in the Wii-U release is well under 15k world wide, they may have finally seen that pride cometh before the proverbial fall.

So they may have buckled, given the fact that they're saying they're calling back all writers, something I know is only done for core story elements that are going to be added/altered, it seems significant.

Add to that, the fact that the lead composer is also returning for music (something that isn't done for any DLC that I really know of since the lead composer most certainly demands top dollar) and it also points to something "Big"

Way I see it its make it or break it time.

Only thing that's holding me back from saying its definitely gonna be an ending DLC is their previous adamance of no more ending DLC, the fact that the hack is also back on the project and that Casey hudson is still, for now, the Boss.

When two out of two don't wan to change something that leaves only the possible 3rd party making them change their minds. (EA)

The sales are bleeding white and that's something EA does not want to see in what was supposed to be a massive Cash Cow.

Problem is EA has a LOT bigger and more numerous problems atm than Bioware's BS especially one that's a year old. So they might not even give a **** atm while they're scrambling to find enough corks to plug the holes in the sinking ship that is their company."

There's no good reason to think that it'll be ending related and IMO it wouldn't be a good idea if it was - whilst it might please some people (might even please a lot) I think that, no matter the contents, the most likely outcome of an ending-related DLC would be to stir everything up again.

over the special child in me3 i presume

[Reorte]

My (complete guess) at high potential for tears would involve actually bothering to flesh out the Reapers taking over the Citadel so you're going to have to leave some people to them when you leave.

I bet it will be a new (rewritten) datapad app for android and not a dlc...

@MDoggy that is an interesting quote that gives something to think about. However in the first sentence it mentions "data gathered", do you have any idea what data the quote is talking about or where it is?

The quote was sent to me via email, and it came from a private message discussion and that person had with someone else. I don't know who the original poster is, cause i didn't bother asking, but I might as well ask now.

"data" on the BSN merely translates to speculation.

[Archonsg]

BTW, wouldn't a Citadel rescue by Shepard (we expected a Citadel defense considering the amount of defense assets we acquired) mean a huge retcon? 

Since it would mean that Shepard and team *made it* despite of Harbinger into the beam and are now in the Citadel?

Or

Are they going to retcon even further, and redo Priority London?

Both of which are appealing to me, more so if they retcon the entire "starbrat" sequence out of existence.

Then again, it might be all for naught, and team Walters and Hudson have us watch Shepard accept one of many forced suicide choice so that they can kill off Shepard.

But that data is also tied to sales and activity, i for 1 havent bought any dlc, and i know many others havent... And we was the type of fans that bought all the dlc for ME1/2.....if BSN shouldnt be taken seriously then neither should pre-release jargon as we all know how thr fairs out..... An interesting take on things @MDoggy

They. Are. Done. With. The. Endings. Move.. on...... *rocks back and forth*

This, basically.

The BSN has been pretty much grasping at straws for about nine months now. It's fine to be disappointed with the state of the endings as they are at the moment, but hoping they're going to be significantly changed is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Thing is it wouldnget fans like me back into the series again as im one of those fans they have lost, and im a day1 release dlc buying loyal fan so they was always guaranteed my money..... As for those happy with the ending then if it was ending dlc then they dont have to buy it as theyre already happy... Time will tell

I bought all the DLC for ME1 and 2, but I only got the day 1 release for ME3, and that was only because I hadn't seen the endings yet.

[silverignika]

I didn't buy Omega because I heard it was underwhelming. The only way I'll be buying this next DLC is if it relates in some way to the ending. Simple as that.

Also, no buy if it's 15. That's crazy (unless there is a new hub or squaddie, which there won't be).

I know Bioware has stated they are done with the endings, and I have no expectations for this DLC to change that, but one can hope. One can also be disappointed...

Time will tell but everything they've said suggests nothing will happen on that front. Now they may change their minds on that but I wouldn't hold my breath. The way they've carried on I can't see them backing down and completely re-doing the endings anyway which is why, in the very unlikely event of them being changed, they'd still try to stick with their original ideas as much as possible which will leave most of the people currently unhappy still unhappy. The safest thing for BioWare is to forget about them altogether. No point in spending resources if they're not going to help.

[dorktainian]

all they have to do imo is expand the refusal ending - and in doing so show us wiping them out. thats it. nothing else. shep is alive on the citadel.....for now,

[AlanC9]

Bio could do a Reunion DLC; this wouldn't be a "change" since high-EMS Destroy Sheps live; hell, the Sheplyst could even get into the act.

But would it sell to anyone but super fans? I'd probably YouTube the thing rather than buy it.

[Dysjong]

I don't think Bioware will make another ending DLC, EC is enough and there is so much fanmade content.

I wouldnt mind if the new DLC had something new, like game mechanincs, game modes and other stuff like that. I mean, DLC's could be used to experiment with different things, like firewalker(im not a huge fan of it) or something else.

[Lyrandori]

I am going to safely assume that the next (or "last") DLC will be at the very least just as isolated to the rest of the game as Omega is. Whatever it is related to, once you go back in the Normandy nobody is going to comment on anything and it'll feel as if absolutely nothing just happened, then you'll move on in your game and you'll forget how you just gave EA your money once more.

[Red Panda]

I assume that the next DLC will have emotionally manipulative music.

I'm calling it now. It'll probally have good writing and collectors too.

What's sad is that they know they can get quite a few of their fans back by doing another ending DLC. They'll get more sales in the next game that will probably retcon ME3.

I mean, come on Bioware, you don't want to compromise your integrity, we get that, but EA will force you to at some point. Might as well please your fans while you're at it.
