Perhaps, unless you made a certain choice. But if the indoctrination theory is incorrect you're probably right. |

Would be nice if the Indoctrination theory is correct, but I fear its more likely just piss poor writing. "ITS ARTISTIC!" They said. Having a poop and then calling my steaming log art, is not art. |

Eh, it's gotten to the point where the people pissing and moaning about the end seem like petulant children. |

If I would've known that the game price was going to drop so much I would've waited, is my only regret. But still, I enjoyed the game. |

We SO are not, Mr. Poopy pants! Besides, the more we moan, the less chance they have to try and serve us another steaming turd of an ending and call it a game. |

I still blame EA games more than Bioware for the hastily thrown together ending. |

I'm just waiting to see how it plays out the sixth. I'd like something different, but I'm not gonna flip shit if they don't make a new ending (even though I've slowly slipped into the camp that despises the ending). Though I probably will abstain from getting any more of their games. I didn't like how i had to put in a 30 character code and sign up for a second service to get access to an entire component of the game. The origin thing bugs me especially because it adds a second point of potential failure to my connection. If I lose connection to the EA account, then I get booted from games even though I maintained connection to XBL. |

I haven't checked yet, but I should be getting an Operation Raptor commendation pack, along with the victory pack that everyone is getting. I'm liking these weekend global multiplayer events. |

Well, EA just released some news. We're getting a "Clarity" ending. http://news.ea.com/portal/site/ea/index.jsp Not sure what to make of it. Is it possible to "fix" the current ending? |

I say yes... But with EA at the wheel... I have my doubts. |

You can blame EA Nate, but the guys at Bioware wrote the story, and they are the ones who developed it. EA is the distributor, not the designer. Also, I like that they said "Free" in that news article.

Indeed, however, I am under the impression, (my impression I don't know for sure), that EA probably pressured them to push out the game so they were basically forced into the ending which EA said, "We'll fix it later! GO! GO!" Maybe I'm wrong and Bioware just screwed up, or maybe Bioware was the one in a hurry, who knows? Why is it all the greats screw up whenever I decide to buy into the hype? (if it's true that Bioware screwed up) |

It doesn't NEED fixing. :rolleyes: I hope they have the cajones to keep the ending bittersweet or even disastrous, in terms of outcome. I'm on my phone at work, so I can't really elaborate on what I mean now. I'll make a 'clarification' post later.

Same. If they tack on a happy ending I will cry bullshit and be, for the first time since I saw the ending, utterly annoyed. I'm not a huge fan of the ending, but if they make it happy, it will have fucked everything I did like about it. THIS IS NOT THE ENDING I WANT:

All I really want with the ending, is to have my choices validated with the ending. If they can deliver that, then I am happy. |

*Nods* Agreed. If I screwed up in the end, fine, but let me know about that. |

Okay, glimmer of hope. Finally had the time to actually read the announcement. It's not going to be a total retcon. The free DLC is just going to be more cinematics and epilogue scenes maintaining the writer's original artistic vision. I was worried they were going to have Shepard pop up from being charred by reaper laser and go "Ha! Just faking." and then proceed to shoot reapers out of the sky with his crucible-energized predator pistol. Then the salarians and quarians talk for a minute and realize that they can totally fix the mass relays - they just need some deus ex machina material that is luckily in total abundance on Earth! Oh, and it turns out that radishes and koala meat are totally palatable to dextro-DNA species! Starvation-icide averted! |

Working my way through ME1 again. Driving the Mako around doesn't bother me as much as I remembered it being. I am glad that they've improved the cover system though. Also glad that they brought back weapon mods in ME3. This run through the trilogy I'm doing now is a "kill everyone" run. Ashley and Wrex in ME1. Everyone but Katsumi and Zaeed in ME2 (because they seem the least storyline crucial and you need two party members to survive the suicide mission in order for Shepard to live). And then kill Kaidan during Cerberus' attack on the Citadel in ME3. I'm also killing all non-enemy NPC's that the game allows me to (Rachni queen, Helena Blake, Gianna Parasini, etc). I'm also doing other things differently just to see how they play out. |
