Yes, Shepard is going to "live" through the ending of ME3. Except he/she isn't - Shepard is dead and instead the Catalyst is going to be in control of Shepard's body, and try to prevent the galaxy from developing more advanced Synthetics in the next ME game codenamed "Mass Shift".
Some of us haven't finished this game yet. It's been less than a month since release, you think that's a good time to put up unlabelled spoilers?
Buddy just stay off the forums until you finish it, thats what i did.

People will be talking about this for a long while yet, so any time you check a mass effect thread you are taking serious spoiler risks
I haven't played ME3 yet - I simply accepted that to be part of this discussion I'd have to 'spoil' it for myself, so I just went online and read/viewed as much as I could about it instead.

To clarify - I don't plan on buying ME3 until I see how this thing plays out. I know its a drop in the ocean compared to the sales the game has racked up already, but its my little line in the sand.
Hey you may just be a drop in the ocean, but you should be the only drop you should care about.

This whole mess would have solved it self if people just looked at it like that.
If only.

Looking at the posts since your comment however, its depressing at how quick people are to assume that simply because Priestly said its fake, it MUST be so.

Sheeple.

+1 point, to be redeemed at your local points store.

Congratulations, you're a pretty cool guy.

NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE OR BIOWARE MIGHT SEE IT CANCEL THIS ENDING AND MAKE ONE THAT IS EVEN WORSE THAN THE CURRENT 3.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ANYONE ELSE COMMENTING PAST HERE WILL BE SUFFER IMMEDIATE DEATH.
First I saw this, and I thought you were joking and I thought you were amusing.

Then I saw the whole post, and saw this
STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP stop
And realized you're five. And then I saw the part I bolded and underlined, and was amused by the only non-caps part of your message.

Well, I have mixed opinion. What Chris Priestly isn't admitting is that people listen to the chans because they tend to be right about 50% of the time as a lot of people who ARE disgruntled employees, or those who get ahold of leaks, head to places like that to dump info because of the anonimity of the site. They would be a bit easier to track if they say leaked it on forums like these on The Escapist, as opposed to on an imageboard. This is why people circulate what the chans are saying, it could be true, and if it's a troll it tends to be an amusing one at the very least.

That said I *DO* believe Chris "Evil" Priestly here simply because I see no real motive for that continuation, that would just be an idiotic baiting of the fans and franchise suicide. At least with the crappy "Mass Effect 3" storyline I can see why they ending things that way given the potential for RL profit they were setting up, especially if there wasn't an outcry like this. After what Bioware got away with with "Dragon Age 2" it's not surprising they made that push to be honest, it was a calculated risk, but it didn't pay off for them.

Time will tell what is going to happen, I am hoping we get the annoucement about the ending changes early into April and can start to close this chapter on gaming.

Mass Shift will involve the same universe, characters, and story...
Mass Shift takes place about one millennium after the events of ME3


Cause fuckin anybody can survive one thousand years. Right Garrus?

Plus the Terminator DLC doesn't fit in the plot holes. How do you "return" to Earth without Mass Relays? And the Catalyst created the Reapers. Why would he take Shepard's body to destroy them? And a VOLUS as a last boss. Not even Bioware is that stupid.

Obvious troll is obvious.

He is a better source than 4chan, also if you are only going to follow information that follows your predetermined conclusion you might as well ignore information all together.
Not to mention that lying about it would only make it worse. Ignoring it would be a better strategy. Now that I mentioned it, they never said the indoctrination theory is fake. They've been ignoring that one. Hmm...
I do not believe you asked for this.

I'm sorry I had to do it.

I likely as being fake as this is, I can't completely doubt it yet.

Because right now, Bioware has less credibility than even 4chan; Chris would have an easier time convincing me that he is the Second Coming than he he would convincing me that Bioware isn't going to do something retarded.

Also, as bad and as dumb as this stuff sounds; we would've thought (and we did, for quite some time) that the "rumored" Mass Effect 3 endings were fake and lies too and that Bioware couldn't possibly mess up that badly.

May I offer you my most sincere exaltations in your most stupendous deciphering of my subtle and may I say droll humour. Looks like I stressed the mod as well my sincerest apologies my most infallible exemplary fellows. Now my omni-benevolent acquaintance my Barney the dinosaur clock is notifying me that it is most certainly time to attend my nursery school class, I believe I shall take my bike it is quite gratifying to think that my father may deign to remove my stabilisers next week they are becoming contemptuously irksome of late.

Anyway I apologise for my childishness and poor gamma I can only hope the above paragraph will appease the poor fellow. I just did not want an ending that is worse than the current, Bioware did have another ending planned, but it leaked out and they cancelled it and put up the current 3. But it was a fake so all is well.

If they had been working on this DLC beforehand that means they would have expected the reaction to the ending before it was released. If this were true you would hope that they would have not gone forth with what they had.

Just seems too fake to be true

Mwahahahah

OT: This is probably fake bt I wouldn't pt it past Bioware to do something this stupid.
Bioware isn't that stupid. Come on now.

Also, theres a key on your keyboard with the letter "u," you have used it with stupid, so you can use it with "but" and "put" not bt and pt.
Yes and I was using a computer that had a broken U key. I am terribly sorry for not making sure it worked every single time.

So, is anyone still on the boat of them turning the next Mass Effect game into a FPS?

Anyways, I think that if a DLC is going to come, its going to be "The Truth" which was hinted at by the same dude that completely nailed another thing about Mass Effect Three.

Behind every lie is a grain of truth.

I especially liked the "he didn't survive entering earths atmosphere".

So, he was in an explosion, hurtled through space without a suit, entered earths atmosphere and then plummeted a hell of a long way and landed on solid concrete....

And he didn't survive....

Shocking.
Doubly shocking considering he never left Earth at the end. I'm not sure how one falls through the atmosphere of a planet they're still on.

OT: Plans for post-current-ending DLC? I suspect so. Any of this being it? Nope.

After the first week you really can't expect people to label everything spoilers.

Besides, you have to take some responsibility for going to a thread marked BioWare or Mass Effect 3, while your playing a game by that company.

Shocking.

But wait, it's only his synthetic parts that got damaged. Obviously anything organic can survive explosion, insane compression, lack of oxygen and a fall that would make anything non-Shep a red stain in London.

I really, really want to call bullshit on this. It's that bad it is absolute nuts, but there is the problem.

It's so mad it might just happen and if any place on the internet is the perfect home for strange .... it's 4chan.

Some people have strange imaginations.
No there isn't stop dropping sagacious sounding platitudes cause they are almost universially wrong.
