Reading between the lines: Why BioWare still isn't changing the ending of Mass Effect 3

GameZone's Alex Osborn writes, "Am I missing something or is the gaming community at large misinterpreting the recent letter released by BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka? Ever since his response to the outcry against the ending of Mass Effect 3 hit the web, the internet has been ablaze with reports that BioWare has agreed to change the ending. Nowhere in Muzkya's response to the fans does he ever use the word "change", "alter", or anything else along those lines."

I think it's really important that gamers understand the difference between "changing" and "clarifying".

As far as I can see, it doesn't look like BioWare will be changing the ending, but rather building upon it with additional content.

Interactive epilogue anyone?

Main_Street_Saint4844d ago

Actually I think that was their plan from the get-go.

alexcosborn4844d ago

It's definitely possible. Those guys are BioWare are pretty smart :)

alexcosborn4844d ago

Maybe they'll bring on Dark Horse Comics to do something like they did for the PS3 version of ME2. Could be pretty cool.

Main_Street_Saint4843d ago

That's why all the people who were crying should have stopped and really thought things through. As one person observed the whole game is actually an ending.

At last, some perspective. It is not in any creative body's interest to cave in to negative reactions to their own intellectual property. That will be self-defeating in the long run for not only this franchise, but for anything else they turn to next. Bioware will have to ride the storm out. Learn from it, address concerns now for ME3 through whatever appropriately expansive media they have at their disposal, be it a DLC or whatever. But should not change the present ending. Let it stand, as is, for good or ill.

It will be interesting to see what expansive gameplay DLC they will bring to the table, considering the narrative constraints in force within ME3 i.e. the war. Hence the easy go-fetch sidequests. They don't have the latitude they allowed themselves in ME2- "Suicide mission? Don't think I'll rush into that. Thank God EDI has found an anomaly! "

At this point I'd be happy with them just plugging up the plot holes.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast203d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine203d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast203d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman203d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast202d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman202d ago

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.
