To plug your fingers into your ears and repeatedly blather that there is NO. POSSIBLE. WAY. BioWare could create compelling post-ending content for ME3, as McFly has done endlessly in this thread, is narrow-minded and absurd.

Having said that, I do not believe we're going to see ANY post-ending DLC. This place is going to explode when the next piece is announced and it's just some side mission you can do anytime before assaulting the Cerberus base.

I never said it was impossible. Not once. I implied the idea of it is absurd.

In fact, I'd say its the likes of you that plug your ears and stamp your feet, spamming the forums with thread after thread of pleading and begging Bioware to add post ending content or to change the ending or give you a reunion, after countless times that Bioware has told you and everybody else that they are done/finished with the endings. And when someone such as myself or the countless other people remind you of that very fact, you get mad and say things like "narrow-minded" lol. You should look in the mirror bro. Oh, the irony....

I love you, man.

No.....



I love you, mannn.

There is a way to have a legitimate sequel that doesn't stomp all over the lore, but if I mention it half this thread will be foaming at the mouth in anger.

I know. IT's a way out. Too bad people are close-minded. Or Evil-Chris making more-than questionable decisions...

I mean, I would love to go much further into the future. That means new races, new technology, new gameplay ideas, etc.

It keeps the universe of Mass Effect fresh.

But that would run the risk of the universe no longer feeling like Mass Effect. You may as well start a brand new franchise with a new name, rather than trying to piggyback on the success of Mass Effect. Doing so could be counter productive, because if you change the setting too radically, with a very different cast of races, then the player could feel lost and nostalgic for the old ones.

If you set it in the very far flung future where human society has evolved into something unrecognisable, then the player might not be able to identify with them so easily. 

People like a balance of the new and the comfortingly familiar. Mass Effect without the Geth, say, or Turians, would be like Star Trek without Vulcans. You would be better off with a clean break and a new IP so people aren't constantly comparing it unfavourably to the Mass Effect they know and love.

Now that I think about it, why can't this DLC be an expansion? ME3.5? It has all writers on board, and this is the end...so why not?

Xbox DLC limit.

It could be sold as a disk then...

Mass Effect 3: One More Story.

I dig that.

Heck, an Awakeningstype postending expansion could be what, well, nothing can please "everybody" but it could please as much as any dlc can.  Those who like the endings get "one more story" (posibly with an Orlesian Spectre for those who want their Shepards to stay dead) those who didn't get one final shot at a "real" ending.  Or at least closure.

What immediate conflict could possibly occur post-ending? 

They could setup some sort of conflict that can be later resolved in future games but it'd make the story feel a little disjointed if it occurs almost immediately after the Reapers have been defeated.

What if after the reapers were defeated the leviathans staged an assault, haha just throwing it out there

Exactly. It wouldn't be Mass Effect anymore.

I'm not saying they should throw everything out. But this will be a ME game on new hardware. I want something more than just better graphics and animations.

There are plenty of ways to expand the universe and story line without changing the fundamental make-up of the galaxy. The scale, for example, could be expanded. There was an idea of exploring Andromeda along with the Milky Way - this is a very intriguing idea that would allow for a grand scale, similar to the original ME trilogy, without fundamentally changing the universe.

Let's all please remember that we can disagree with each other without name-calling or insults. There's no need to make our differing opinions personal.

[Omega Torsk]

Not gonna lie, I have a small hope in the pit of my heart that your thought is true... but I'm not going to hold my breath. The last 10 months have kind of rendered me a cynic.

[garrusfan1]

I hope so to OP i really do cause even if i spent an hour just walking and doing nothing but got a reunion and a dipkiss or a hug for tali i would be fine with that.

Sorry guys, but Bioware isn't going to devote an entire DLC to just a short 2-minute cutscene, I sincerely doubt they want to restart the ending trouble now that things have started quieting down, if they were going to do this, they would've done it with the EC.

Restart? It never went away.

[Fuzrum77]

 To the OP: I truly hope you are right. Against all odds, I still hope it.

To those bashing the OP and the rest of us holding on to this hope: Yeah, sadly you're probably right. And I can't speak for everybody, but the reason I'm still here even though the ending fiasco ruined this series for me is because of my hope. I adored this series, and I so very want to again.

I don't post a lot, and I certainly haven't posted much after the very disappointing EC was released, and again I can't speak for all of us hoping against hope: but if we annoy you, well, if this DLC ends up dashing our hopes, I don't think you'll have to put up with a lot of us anymore.

So if Bioware blows this last chance, just have patience: we'll be gone soon. :/

 You heard it here and now, we will be able to take control of a surviving team member or LI and find and rescue him and afterwards finally get our happy ending. I don't know how gameplay would necessarily be involved with this type of DLC but it could work. What could we fight tho???? But anyways I have a strange feeling it will indeed be this what else could it be??? We have to find Shepard!!!!!

ME1 Shepard arose from the debris victorious (Epic)

ME2 Shepard made an epic escape

ME3 Shepard, thought to have perished, will be found and rescued by his team his LI


sounds good to me.....

Ashley - "i doubted u once Shepard and I lost u......that's not happening again"

Kaiden said something about 'I cant loose you again'

Serously though my first thought was meh!
I'm not gunna get my hopes up about any mass effect again like I did about #3 just to have it shattered! I haven't touched any of the DLCs but I would run and buy ALL of them if the last one was something like this and play the entire series through from start to finish savouring every moment of it before finally getting to see that happy ending.

You have hope, more than you know.

But do not let faith in what you think the DLC will bring blind you. If you do, you will find nothing but sorrow.

For me, faith in Bioware went out the window last year with ME3 and Swtor, but yeah I still hope for a return to form for them. I miss them. 

[chidingewe8036]

I have a feeling you guys I have a feeling.

Destroy is Canon and Shepard WILL BE FOUND BARELY ALIVE!!!!!

And if not, if Bioware does not deliver I will not purchase this next dlc, I will write off this franchise, and just run with my headcanoned ending which by the way is epic.

I Thank Bioware for this amazing Trilogy don't get me wrong, best game I have ever played and the best story I have ever witness second to Star Wars but this will be the final straw for me if it is just another ems mission. ME4 can be whateva they want it to be, they are not getting a dime from me at that point. I will not spend anymore time or money on another ME Trilogy after this.

My hope died with EC.

Right now, this dlc is kinda like buying a lottery ticket.  You know the odds of actually winning are astronomically small.  But for a few hours or days, you can dream.

On the plus side for me if it isn't then I don't have to worry about scrounging up the little bit of cash to buy it (paying my way through college). I also can uninstall the Mass Effect games and free up some needed HD space ( have had mass effect 1 and 2 installed since the day they where released and never uninstalled them, made sure to install them first thing with every new computer).

[Auintus]

 My Shepard was disintegrated in a shiny beam of light. I don't think I want Tali to find whatever may be left.

If it makes you feel any better, I can sort of relate to how people feel about this. I used to play a certain game for 5 years. I loved this game until the company basically turned it into a carny fun ride for the masses and rewrote the first 60 levels in the game (as of 2010), and made everything easy mode (lack of challenge).

I guess you could say, I didn't like the direction the game took. Instead of voicing my opinions about it on the forums at the time (which people do here), I just didn't buy the next expansion (released September 2012 if I recall). This is how people usually work in the real world.

Thing is though, you can't let the last 10 minutes of a game series ruin the whole thing. Was the first 99.9% fun for you? I guess Bioware took the "it's the journey, not the destination" route. People here will disagree though.

There has been lots of really good movies and TV series with great starts, but the ending may not have been what some have hoped. Some have brought up the argument that a movie is only 2 hours, so it's not that bad. However, that's two hours of someone's life they aren't going to get back. Or there's been a 100 hour TV series which had a less than stellar finale, but they kind of accepted it and moved on.

So you played WoW until Cata ?

I left WoW six months after the Cata launch. Went back now for Pandas, is still the same thing. But WoW is a hard vice to kick. I usually do end up going back and then leave after 2-3 months in disgust. 

The people I see saying fans are idiots for complaining about the ME3 ending are people who have not played ME and think it is just about the sad ending. They have no idea. I hope they never go through what we did but if they do, I'll be there to say "I told you so, gaming companies are not always the saint the gaming press paint them as". 

PS: To the OP, what about if the new DLC is about to make Indocrination Theory valid and is a reboot of ME3 ? That would explain the IT thread being locked
