It's the most we've had for a while now.

Oh I don't question the movie stuff.  I just think that it's a big stretch to say that a movie, which is still in development stages (and frankly may never get out of them), would suddenly cause Bioware--a company that has gone out of its way to allow players to pick the gender of Shepard in all circumstances--to change their advertising strategy for ME3's very last SP DLC and suddenly be like "oh jk Shepard's a boy."

To base the idea that Chris may be lying solely on the fact that Movie Shepard is going to be a man is, in my opinion, reading wayyyy to deep into any of this.

Most people seem to associate Shepard being a male. Hell, all the figures of Shepard up to now have been male. Onle one single anime-styled stattuete has been of the female.
The majority of game traliers, up to ME3. have been of male Shepard. Even then, it's mostly male Shepard.
Hell, the male Shepard's been on the cover of all three games, while female Shepard's only had one,
Male Shepard is thus far, the iconoc Shepard face. So no, Reddit going of the "Shepard is male" assumption is not reading deep into it at ALL. In fact, it makes absolute sense, as EVERY DLC tralier has had male Shepard in it, and this one will likely not be any different (as shown in the image, with the MALE Shepard at that Citadel bar.).

The point, though, is not which gender "most people seem to associate Shepard" with.  The point is that Bioware, in their descriptions of the DLC, do not assign a gender to Shepard, so they won't do it now just because of the pending movie.

But they ALREADY have with the figures, promo images and trailers for the majority of the series. Shepard is generally assumed to be a male. So someone else assuming the male thing - thinking that's reading "too deap" into it isn't a good excuse. It's almost desperate.

Again, I'm referring to DLC descriptions.   Find me a DLC description where Shepard is referred to a male.  That's seriously all I'm talking about.  You keep sailing right past that and going to the movie, promo images, trailers, etc (the promo images and trailers have femshep equivalents, btw), so I really don't think I'm the one who is being desperate.

But continuing to argue over this is silly.  Clearly we're gonna disagreeso we might as well just wait and see.

Are you kidding? LOOK at the trailers for Leviathan and Omega. BOTH are for a MALE Shepard. And the promo for Omega has Aria and Nyreen standing beside a MALE Shepard.
The promo for the ME trilogy pack has Male Shepard on it. The cardboard cuttouts at gamestop all were of male Shepard. The figures were all male Shepard.
MALE Shepard is widely considered the DEFAULT Shepard.

So i can either put some faith into Reddit where they have actually been right a couple of times round, or i can do the same for Priestly who regularly denies, or flat out lies, pretty much everything only for the company to formally announce the stuff he denied.

I'm not putting any chips down, but i can see the odds plain as day.

I can't tell if you're just trying to be belligerent or what.  Here are the official descriptions, summaries, tags, whatever you want to call them, that appear for the following DLCs:

From Ashes: 
"Unearth lost secrets from the past and recruit the Prothean squad
member in Mass Effect 3: From Ashes."

The Extended Cut: "Through additional cinematic
sequences and epilogue scenes, the Extended Cut will include deeper insight to
Commander Shepard's journey based on player choices during the war against the
Reapers."

Leviathan: "Something lurks in the dark corners of space, something
powerful enough to kill a Reaper. Shepard must discover the most closely
guarded secret in the galaxy before the Reapers silence it forever. Discover
more about the origins of the Reapers as you race across the galaxy to find the
Leviathan. Unravel the dark history of the Reaper Race before it is too late.
Coming later this summer there is no war, only the harvest."

Omega:  "Omega has
been seized by one of Cerberus' most accomplished and brilliant agents, General
Oleg Petrovsky... and Aria T'Loak is plotting her revenge. To reclaim her
domain, she must team up with Commander Shepard.

Join
Omega's infamous leader in her fight to retake the notorious black market
station. Navigate Omega's seedy underbelly as Aria joins your squad and you
witness her legendary biotic powers and unrelenting ruthlessness first-hand.
Help Nyreen Kandros, the valiant turian leader of the Talon mercenary group, as
she fights to free the enslaved people of Omega. Face down fearsome new
enemies, including the Cerberus-manipulated Reaper, the Adjutant.

Shape
Omega's future through four death-defying missions, and strike a devastating blow
to the Illusive Man's plans.

The war for
Omega has begun - How far will you go to end it?"

Now, contrast that with this:  ""The Citadel retains many secrets. Secrets created by the Reapers and it is the final resting place of Shepard who sacrificed himself to save the galaxy... Or did he? Find out the truth about the Citadel and Shepard's fate in the final DLC! Do you dare to face the Truth?"

This is what I'm talking about.  No pictures, movies, trailers, just these tags they put on their DLCs that everyone sees when they go to download them in the Xbox/PS3/Steam stores.  Bioware doesn't write their descriptions like that, and they won't start now just because their "default" Shepard is male in all of their advertisements (which is not so much true now, as Bioware went out of their way this year to create Femshep alternatives to many of their promotions).

Looking back, Priestly is saying the (obviously fake) Citadel DLC description is fake.

Not the Reckoning description in the OP.

That's how I'm reading it anyway, right?

Oh, please. Femshep was in only two trailers.
And if someone copied the discription and wrote what they saw themselves, you really think that saying "he" for the gender wouldn't be instunctual? Especally if he saw a raw, unedited cut that wasn't filtered yet?

Besides, as @Ithureal has shown, both Reddit AND Eurogamer say the same thing about the "Recokning" DLC, in that it will introduce single-player Co-Op missions, some stand-alone SP missions, hazzard versions of the Earth maps, and new kit packs for the human, krogan, salarian, and volus.

[Dasher1010]

Well mods here have denied things that are completely true and we know the name Reckoning and that the final single player DLC involves the Citadel. Honestly, this sound genuine since it's things that we've already known for a long time.

[Xerxes52]

Looks like Gamespot picked up on this as well.

Might be right, might not be. Either way we'll find out eventually.

 Dudes. The moar times you prove that he lied, the moar times he will lie in the future. It's common company strategy: "everything they say about us is false, until we say it's true"
Stop pointing out his mistakes, so he will stop making them in purpose.

[silverexile17s]

Looks like the next DLC will be multiplayer. Reckoning.
Makes sense if the Chakram Launcher really is a weapon, since it's from "Kingdoms of Armalur: Reckoning"

I would have thought it authentic (for Reckoning, not the single-player DLC). Since the details for those come directly from the horse's mouth, so to speak, I tend to just take them at face value. Though I didn't look at the actual post, so maybe there are tells in the original that it's fake (certainly, if it used male pronouns as you suggest, or claimed to be the upcoming single-player content).

The Grey Nayr wrote...

It's also true that it seems like you guys have closed up leaks after Leviathan, Omega, etc were all discovered before they were meant to.

Leviathan may have been oversight (some of the dialogue went out with the extended cut), but none of the single-player DLC has ever leaked.

We knew as much about Omega as we know about the Citadel DLC: the number of maps and the map IDs. No details ever leaked for either (Omega was a certainty only because it was part of the original plan, and the final result ended up being quite a bit different than that initial draft).

The multiplayer DLC has all leaked. It's hard to keep secret that which you purposely tell to others. ;-)

False. We knew Omega would be the second SP DLC and Citadel the next when dataminers found their files in Leviathan. It technically wasn't a leak but it was discovered before being officially announced and so far has turned out to be true.
