I think the PR guys were trying to have fun and keep it light with the fans but they didn't expect or were ignorant at how angry the fans were with the ending.
yup, it's perfect. ;D
Barring an ME4 announcement... "The team will decide if this indoctrination thing is an excellent means of salvaging our otherwise terrible writing in the last 10 minutes, and acting as if we'd planned for DLC all along. Thanks for giving us a lifeline."

Yep but that taste of shit desert wont leave but i have accepted it.
But there is still a I want to believe part in me.
80% indoctrinated.
I think the prompt of "hey you there dumb head want to hear a other bed time story how about you give me $10 first."

In hindsight, I still think my favorite stuff in the entire series is Vigil to the end of the credits in ME1.
Second would be some of the character moments in ME3 (Liara making her version of Vigil, Garrus and Shepard having the shooting contest, talking to everybody in the ruins of London, etc.)
As for that response, it's what I expect. But I also appreciate them finally giving it.
The only possible solution to assuage fans with the least amount of backlash is to release free DLC/patch. All other options will be worse than that.
It'll probably just be an interactive comic.

1 > 3 > 2
Also, I'm glad the Mass Relays were destroyed. I was hoping for a complete reset at the end of ME3, so every little helps. I want the next trilogy to be stopping the reapers again, but the player has the knowledge of what's going on, or at least put the player in a situation that they think they can have control of. I dunno. Will wait for the indoctrination ending.

a comic or even a line of text saying what happened would work lolThe only possible solution to assuage fans with the least amount of backlash is to release free DLC/patch. All other options will be worse than that.

Completely agree. From Ilos->Ending (heck, even Virmire->Ilos->Ending) is so incredible.
"Space magic happens, Joker smashes his dick on EDI's body, the rest dies of starvation. The End."
Are you me? I love you.
ME 2 > ME 3 > ME 1
Pretty simple for me. The only thing that ME 1 does better than the other 2 is the music (and the story, maybe). The "exploration" is boring and gets old after your second planet. Mass Effect 3 has the best gameplay and level design. ME 2 had the best atmosphere and characters.

I'd pay $10 to get more drinking stories about Tali.
Oh come on, someone liked to do that over and over again?

James gave Shepherd blue balls. Damn his flirtatious ways!
EMERGENCY INDUCTION PORT
tali soaks vodka in some tampons and shoves them up her anus for maximum absorption. $10 please.
This is dumb, why would you want the reapers again? I'd rather have something that doesn't involve savings the entire universe again.
What I get from this is that at most, the only thing they're gonna do is sit back and do some Q&A for the ending...
PAX East main event.

Here's what I fully expect to happen: they wait for this to blow over and maybe they release some text clarifying a few things about the ending and then release the Take back Omega and Dekunna DLC, which I will not buy.

More like 65, and that's like saying "well it'd only take you a week to travel cross country in a sports car after the nuclear apocalypse."
You'd need to be moving at max FTL speeds, with infinite fuel, without stopping, for decades, through empty patches of space tens or hundreds or thousands of lightyears wide in between systems and clusters with no resources, in a war-torn galaxy where infrastructure and Citadel law have broken down. That's why mass relays are so important. Those areas that would take decades to reach, one-way, with standard FTL travel take only minutes, days, or weeks.
They are wondering whether or not the Interactive Comic DLC should be $10, $15 or $60 (with pre-order DLC hat).

Would be pretty insane if fan backlash gets Bioware back to the drawing board over the ending. I dunno if it would be a good thing or bad thing for the industry and developers as a whole however.

Agreed on the relays being destroyed, but I don't want anything more from the reapers. Would like to see future games go a different route than another "save the galaxy" plotline.
How challenging would it be to get more VA back? Is it mostly based on scheduling?
Maybe Buzz Aldrin will be the only re-hired VA and he'll tell us what happened to Joker on the Jungle planet.
Scheduling and cost. DLC has a much lower budget than the main game, and some of the VAs probably cost quite a bit. Hence why most of the DLC only has a handful of VAs (like less than 5).

I just hope they don't pussy out on destroying the relays.
yup, scheduling.

Buzz Aldrin is the greatest VA of our generation

It's not like everyone would start doing this. Almost no one has the story and character investment that mass effect does with its fans, and even if someone did they would have to colossally fuck the ending up like Bioware did. This isn't going to become a thing where every game has a $10 real ending DLC. No one would buy it because no one would care.
Unless the indoctrination theory is correct and Bioware deliberately withheld the ending, it's clear that the future of the franchise in their eyes does not include the mass relays or the Citadel.
Considering that none of our squadmates talked in the ME2 DLCs(other than Liara, but that's another story) i suppose yeah.

I did that on purpose - I was too lazy to put the little lines on my face to make me look like the Tali picture. I wanted more lens flare, but my PS is crashing lately. So I used Google+'s crappy picture editor.
IT'S A MASTERPIECE GODDAMMIT.

Story: 1>>2>>>3
Gameplay: 3>2>>1
The best thing in the entire series was Shepard's conversation with Sovereign in 1.

With most other games i would be like 'meh, shitty ending but who cares'. The endings to the Assassins Creed games were pretty dumb, but didnt actively make me feel so jaded about the whole series. But Mass Effect was that one series that really hit the right things for me, so im taking this much harder.
Blade Runner
Kingdom of Heaven
Fallout 3
Once Upon a Time in America
Butterfly Effect
etc.
I'd hate if I was stuck with the original theatrical release of Blade Runner instead of the Final Cut.
Yeah, re-writing or re-altering a product isn't something new, nor is it something sacrilegious. There are plenty of examples of revising or fixing earlier work.
