To be honest, all I want to see is Shepard and Garrus in a bar at the end, but I don't think thats going to happen.

With Cheers theme happening at the end.

I think her title in Bioware is Community Manager.

According to my bro, she's seen as Bioware's "damage control" on BSN. Apparently, they are all assuming that she's lying about this as she has apparently been known to lie in the past. Yes, even though the DLC is free and there would be nothing to be gained from lying.

At this point they're pretty much the opposite of biodrones.

Dragon Age Origins, Fallout type conclusion of how everything you did went once your story was over was what I expected.

[Novangel]

That would be okay, if only they did that in THE ACTUAL ending it woulda been not as horrible.

Sadly, this is what happens when a company betrays their most devoted fanbase. I'm sure this isn't what Bioware/EA intended to happen, but they definitely could be handling the post-release outrage better in their PR statements.

Wow, I imagined it was just people projecting their meaning on some vague statement, but that isn't a freaking hint, that's just a flat-out statement.

I'm a bit more optimistic about it now.

This is the same person who said Normandy crashed on Earth.

She's a community manager for BioWare. Not sure about lying stuff, I barely know her.

Edited:

Although, if the stuff Jessica mentioned is true, then at least there is some hope of salvaging the ending.

I'm hyped to play as the Batarians all we need now are some Innocent colonists to shoot in multiplayer for the full Batarian experience

I didnt find this track on youtube, so i decided to upload it. Found it in Extended OST.

Amazing track with ambient elements.

[JeanLuc761]

Dunno if you folks saw this, but this was a PR statement in regards to the Extended Cut DLC:

"When you see the ending of Mass Effect, you now have the information and the context to feel satisfied," BioWare said of the Extended Cut which will contain a "considerable amount" of cinematic scenes that will hopefully clarify a few questions fans have.

BioWare wanted to "answer the questions" fans posted via Twitter, Facebook, etc. In fact, they even put a list together of the unknowns they wanted to address. To do so, they are "going to put the time and effort it takes" and are not going to "rush" it.
When asked why that content wasn't included in the game at launch, the dev team stood by the release in the core product.

"We're very proud of it," they said. "It was important though, for us to listen to the community, and community feedback obviously didn't come until the game came out. We couldn't have included it in the game because we didn't know there was a huge demand for it."

From GameZone

What, they didn't think there'd be demand for an ending that does what was advertised? Mercy me...

How could they have known that fans would want agood ending to the 100+ hours they've invested into the series. It's not like the ending is where all your efforts and all the plot points converge or anything.

I like how I found out through the mass effect wikia, that there is a planet called Paravin. I had no friggin idea.

There's also two planets in ME1 named Veles and Svarog.

I know most people got the gist of the Bioware PAX East from the live blogs and this thread. But there are some handcam recordings for anyone wanting to watch it. This is probably the best I could find:

"Geth or Quarians?"
"GETH!"
"QUARIANS!"
"PEACE!"
"DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER!"
Made me laugh.

Edited:

I'm glad they're at least trying to improve the ending. I mean at the very end when I saw    Joker, Garrus, and Liara standing on a peaceful planet staring at a blue sky, it pretty much made the end ten times better for me. But I still want to see an ending in which the massive fleets, and nothing else, take on the Reapers. Even if they all failed and the cycle was doomed to start again, I'd be happy. It would show that the Protheans were right. They all told Shepard he had little to no chance, and turning the ending into a total destruction of organics would be depressing yet incredible.

Just watched a finnish game show called "tilt" where they reviewed mass effect 3. Gave it 10/10 and didn't even mention the ending. I always thought that show was garbage anyway, they give almost anything 10/10

[mac338]

It would be cool if you had 7200+ EMS, all you needed was the fleet to win. Because that'd kind of make sense.

Where everything with a lower score then 8/10 sucks and most of the things above 8/10 also suck.

The amount of effort and damage control Bioware has been going through to get even close to something resembling a good ending for one of their flagship series is really making me concerned with their competency in making games anymore. They even set the precedent with Dragon Age: Origins, where you could have an epilogue with the player character long since dead.

If I was in the pre-Reaper invasion Mass Effect universe I think I'd spend a lot of my life studying Protheans.

I'd spend it trying to ease Human-Alien tensions. Make them not hate us as much.

I'd move to Thessia. It's like the Scandinavia of the universe apparently, stable economy and no war and all of that.
Also all the Asari.

Jackald thinks I buy my packs with REAL money, shit. When I said I had 400 bioware points, that was in case I can't squeeze in another 99k points before the offer ends ;)

You know what else I find dumb? Apparently a device that can change the very structure of every living organism, and their hats, in the galaxy can't distinguish between Geth and Reapers. It's like having a gun with two settings: shoot select molecules out of ever strand of DNA in someone's body to give them cancer, or blow a watermelon sized hole in their chest.
