I might jump back on board for the DLC. I'm also curious about the quality that Montreal is going to be pumping out.

 

[EatChildren]

Dev dudebro on the BSN has confirmed that for the next DLC (probably the rumoured/leaked "Citadel" DLC) almost the entire Edmonton writing staff is involved in some capacity, including Patrick Weekes, John Dombrow, and our all time favourite Mac Walters.

 

[Frankenstrat]

Best |OT| since DA2.

Right up there with the Halo 3 thread.

 

[funkystudent]

Bioware OT's are the best.


Still havent played ME3.

If everyone is in..... hints to next mass effects trilogies?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Can FemShep get with Aria?

This is incredibly important.

What's special about that particular team?

 

[Unregistered007]

$15 ?

 

[xJavonta]

Perfect OT. Just perfection.

 

[Moaradin]

What's special about that particular team?

It's the team making the next Mass Effect game. It will be interesting to see how they handle the DLC.

 

[Lime]

I stil haven't touched any of the paid DLC of ME3 (for known reasons), but I might pick all of them up at a sale later on. How often does Origin sales for Mass Effect happen? I know that there was a Xbox sale, but don't know if there have been *any* PC sales.

Incorrect. Edmonton are the original ME developers - these are the same writers/team responsible for parts of ME1, 2, and most of 3.

 

[RDreamer]

I'm interested. 15 bucks is a bit much, but I've liked most of ME's DLC thus far.

 

[Moaradin]

My bad. I got it confused with Montreal. They are involved with Omega though, correct? I'm definitely interested in seeing how they handle this.

ME games are 50% off on Origin now, but DLC prices are the same so I unless they eventually release some Ultimate edition I don't see that happening.

 

[Skidd]

Getting some Uncharted 3 OT vibes from the OP.

this shit better be free or I'm not touching this with a 9 lightyear long pole.

 

[Rezbit]

Haha EC you are freaking amazing.

 

[vdlow]

The OP is worth 15 bucks alone. Amazing. I hope the DLC itself will be this amazing too.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Fantastic OT. Would read again.

Not like this...

I apologize if it's off topic, but apparently some fans fixed the ending with a mod. Too happy whatever, but at least the Starkid is out of the picture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQEofXDuxAQ&feature=plcp

What does it do?
- It removes the catalyst scene. No ifs, not buts. It's gone for good. (So is your choice, you will now destroy the reapers no matter what)
- It introduces a whole new scene showing how Joker disobeys orders and keeps the Normandy in the fight long enough for Shepard to be rescued (with the help of a certain Alliance captain )
- The Normandy no longer crash-lands on the Weirdo Planet
- The Geth and EDI survive. EDI is now present during the memorial and you can add new slides to the epilogue that will show the geth, if they are alive. All credit and thanks for the slides goes to areyouareaper!
- You will see your Shepard reunited with his crew (and even some interaction unique to your LI if the LI is part of the Normandy crew). While they don't exactly have a party, now it is a real bitter-sweet ending with the emphasis on "sweet" rather than on "bitter"
- The musical score is changed quite extensively, including the credits song
- Since v0.2, Harbinger will say a few lines during the beam run

This is beyond awesome

 

[TheSeks]

I can fuck Aria? I thought she wasn't to be fucked?! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!?

 

[EatChildren]

My bad. I got it confused with Montreal. They are involved with Omega though, correct? I'm definitely interested in seeing how they handle this.

Edmonton is the main BioWare studio that helmed more or less everything BioWare has done since forever, with the exception of dedicated studios working on other projects (like The Old Republic). Montreal was founded sometime during the development of Mass Effect 2 (or shortly before) to aid in asset production (they started with the cinematics) with the goal of slowly building them into a self sufficient studios. They've primarily worked on side missions and DLC content so far, as well as the Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer. Omega is basically them taking control of a complete project and seeing how it goes (they also did Arrival, which was terrible, but they didn't have the staff they have today). Montreal will be directing Mass Effect 4.

I writers on the next DLC I guess is a little unusual as it's basically everyone involved in the series, which should mean it's pretty substantial.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I cant wait to play as a 20-something rich white Space Jesus who saves those poor, improvised blue people from bad guys.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Is this the last of the DLC, I have been waiting for all of it to hit so I can replay ME3 with all of it in.

 

[doubleplusgood]

Awesome OT art. Once this is DLC is out I might have to play through this and the Leviathan DLC.

 

[Data West]

There was a time when I saw Mass Effect and got excited.

How do you improvise being blue? Paint?

 

[An-Det]

For new reaper enemies I know we'll see that teleporting one they always talked about, but are there others? Same for Cerberus, is the Dragoon the only new one added to single player or was that and the geth bomber already in there somewhere since they were added to multi?

 

[Demon Ice]

Bwahahaha

Never - WiiU

Ice cold.


Do you get to use the new squaddies for the whole game after completing the DLC or are they just for that mission?

A-fucking-mazing. Bioware doesn't deserve its fans.

wuuuuu-uuuuh?

What sorcery is this?

 

[EatChildren]

Just for Omega, unfortunately. Both Aria and Nyreen are forced as squadmates for the Omega story arc.

 

[TheUsual]

Holy crap! It fits perfectly.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

never Wii U?

never get to fuck with whatever her name is?

 

[The Wizard]

The title and OP are brilliant.

That seems really well done but for most people the damage is already done. I would like to see the reactions of someone who never finished the game to that modded ending though.

 

[SgtCobra]

Those gifs with Shepard dancing still make me cringe :/
Kudos to you for the OT EatChildren, wow

 

[Meccanical]

I just want to say, that this is the best OT I've ever seen.

 

[Patryn]

Oh god. I can feel it... just under the skin.

The box! The box! It is whispering to me.... calling out for me...

But it's not time. NOT YET. But soon.... yes, soon...

Soon the games will come out of the box and the tragedy will repeat itself... soon I will once again cry out in anguish...

This is but the first step on that damned road...











And by 3-4 hours they mean 1-2, of course. Also: Let us not forget that Montreal did Arrival. Hopefully this is a step up.

 

[Drencrom]

amazing OT

 

[RionaaM]

Wow. This OT is fan-fucking-tastic!

The part about Wii U is ice cold, really.

Wow. Even with the visible "moddiness", that is miles better than the ending BW gave us.

 

[iavi]

The OT along with that first post killed me.

 

[Dennis]

I would like to see what would happen if a non-mod, non-EviLore gaffer had made an |OT| like that.

A bit too happy, and I wish there was still some choice in there, but I can certainly why there's not. Still though, it's better than what we got. If I had the ME series on PC (and a computer capable of running them), I'd get this. I've been feeling a need to replay the entire series. But every time I'm about to start I think about the ending and decide against it.

 

[Brandon F]

Serious question. Will this and Leviathan help me get enough war assets for the achievement that requires having a massive amount at the endgame if I don't feel like playing MP to raise past 50%?

I've done damn near everything in the vanilla game, but never pushed to the ending because I didn't feel like screwing with MP after I have had my fill to keep my percentage up. Kinda unsure how much is enough with the 50% value.

Hopefully, you wont buy these 2 DLCs mainly for an achievement. :lol

They already lowered the war asset count requirement in the update patch.

If you did all the sidequests, you're good. I think....

EDIT
wait...i thought you were talking about the ending. nvm.

just give me 1 more permanent squad mate before the game is over
