Trailers: Mass Effect 3 - Leviathan Launch Trailer

[Chappy]

I don't know why everyone is so set in stone that they won't have an impact on the ending with the DLC, am I the only one who heard the rumor that it may alter the Refusal ending?

Yeah I know rumor's you can't trust them but if Bioware can release the Extended Cut DLC that can add a new ending (refusal) then is it so far fetched that Leviathan cannot add an alternate end to one of the current Endings or add an entirely new one? Or is everyone still doing that tired 'Bioware is evilz' dance because they didn't get exactly what they wanted originally that I shouldn't think for hopeful and positive things?

I think I'll sit this one out. I already beat ME3, and I'm not terribly interested in replaying it. Unfortunately, the trailer rather bored me, as well.

When it comes to new Mass Effect 3 D . L .C all I have to say is this.


The reason why I state this is because the first time they tried to " fix " Mass effect 3 with " D . L . C " it turned out like this.

So as far as I'm concerned Bioware and EA can

Isles felt more like a sidestory but that is a debatable quality which I won't step into. With Mass Effect 3, unless the DLC changes the ending and is essentially "Hey look, it is this brand new, amazing weapon that can kill the reapers" and if it doesn't actually effect the reapers then it stops being worth-while.

Or in simple terms, if your given a narrative device that seems like it would effect the rest of the game then you expect it too and will be disappointed if it doesn't.

But yeah, thanks for Shivering Isles, still good.

Hooooorrrrrrrraaaaaayyyy more half-assed EA / Bioware DLC.....

Most of the ME2 DLC is the same though, namely Overlord and the Shadow Broker. You take time out of your busy schedule of stopping the Collectors to do some interesting side quests and they have no affect on the ending either so isn't it possible to just enjoy the ride as it were? I mean this DLC particularly has been advertised as a thing to stop the Reapers despite knowing it doesn't but that doesn't mean future DLC can't be enjoyable side stories that don't affect the ending.

One of the biggest plot points of any story is overcoming conflict. Mass Effect 3 is the third in a literary step. The point of it is to overcome or fail to defeat the conflict. Any DLC added to Mass Effect 3 that doesn't contribute to this is rather silly.

Dark Souls is a game I say has the best narrative structure in a game with few words. Everything you do is 1)Getting to know a new area and the baddest of the bad 2) Preparing to do so 3) Conquering or failing to conquer the enemy.

The way Mass Effect has been paced has been these three steps for the series. Mass Effect 3 is the third in that literary step and anything that doesn't contribute to it is like in the middle of a porno it cuts to the people sitting there sipping tea.

I'd be excited for this ... but as others mentioned, the game has been out for to long and the endings all lead up to the same thing, which this DLC won't have any impact on really except for war asset points. If this was released during or right when ME3 came out, it would of done well (then again the endings made everyone very upset including me so... I don't know.)

How do you know it doesn't impact the ending, you do realise it would have to considering what they are making Leviathan out to be, right?

I'm sure of it, though I can be wrong. Still, I don't see how this DLC will make Bioware alter the endings even more when they've already given us those extended cutscenes DLC for the endings since everyone just hated the original endings.

Again I fear despite this DLC being legit, it's not going to impact the ending or change anything. I've played ME3 a few times, which I shouldn't of done so before the DLC came out.

While this is very true, it should at least make the ending more interesting even if it's not changed, which isn't a terrible thing. Personally I find 2 of the endings to be good ending (The 'blow everything up' and the 'Refusing to choice' endings), I'm not saying I like how the endings went but I think they did fit with the story. Afterall ends are dam hard to do.

Yeah after finishing a game a few times it's pretty rare to pick it up again, even for a DLC that is as interesting are this.

The thing is if this was put out earlier you would have had people bitching about it being to close to launch and the whole day one dlc shit would be kicked up again. plus people would have flipped their shit if they had to pay for any dlc before the EC, really they just can't win here.

oh well i started up a new me2 save to change up some mistakes I made and to romance Tali, then I'm gonna restart me3 and play this dlc and it will be fun. because ME3 is my favorite game of the the year.
