User blog comment:Kaloneous/Mass Effect 3 Ending DLC Denied and PAX/@comment-86.169.22.190-20120314164455

If this is true, and they literally hadn't planned for the ending to take so much hate, and the only reason they changed it was to keep us guessing (because the REAL reason we were fighting the reapers was leaked, as well as important parts of the script prior to release) because of the leak, then I may be willing to forgive Bioware's actions.

I mean, lets look at it this way, I doubt they wanted to ruin the game for everyone before they'd even got it, so they changed the story to keep us guessing. Nice to do, but the ending they supplied us with made little sense, and I'm sure our moderators here could find enough plotholes to sink a battleship (you know, no assumptions included, just exactly what we're told) and I think that if they'd have kept the story even remotely close to what it was intended to be, many of us (including myself) wouldn't be fighting for a new one. If the leak is the reason, then while it IS their fault that the whole ending issue arose by adding plot information into things before release, it's forgivable and I can understand them changing things. When the DLC is out, in my hands, and gives the Mass Effect universe a plausible and wanted future, then I will be once again happy with Bioware's actions. I don't mind it not being free, but at least make it available to the non-online players, who the old games were very good to (and so was the Elder Scrolls series, which still is)
