BioWare's original ending might have had everyone singing a different tune. According to Drew Karpyshyn, the series writer, the ending was to comprise of the spreading of Dark Energy, a force used for mass effect fields and biotic powers.

Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.
If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.
So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,
You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups
Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was
anthem......
Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....
They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table
How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.
Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
Except as a move meant to continue the series - which still doesn't work given the unedited ending - I don't understand why things where changed.
Me either the ending was vague and would of liked to see where things ended. Since he has written the novels and the game i thought Bioware would go with his ending
Sounds way better than the ending in Mass Effect 3. Same thing goes with the other elements discussed in the article.
Sounds good, but as he said, things don't always work out when you're developing a game as part of a team. And the fact that he was gone for ME3 probably plays a big role in their decision to not use that.
EDIT: Also, are all of you really saying that you would've liked it better. Wasn't one of the major complaints that you only had 3 choices. Are all of you really saying that you'd be cool with 2 endings? Stop blindly hating ME3's ending. I liked the end alright and this one would've been fine too, but shit.
That ending would've meant so much more than what we now all have to live with.
