Mass Effect 3 has been something of a hot debate these days in the gaming community. With the rumours of BioWare's twist-and-turn-peek-a-booing style of writing with the Indoctrination theory, a bonafide news reveal has finally emerged; the intended ending of Mass Effect 3.
When Mass Effect 1/2 lead writer Drew Karpyshyn drafted the stories, he intended for a concluding plot in Mass Effect 3, in which dark energy played a major role in the ME universe. Hints have even been given in previous games, such as Mass Effect 2 when Shepard saves Tali during her investigation on a star system. The sun of that particular system was said to be ageing abnormally, dying out sooner than it should have. This hinted toward the fact that dark energy was causing this.
In the purported original ending, the Reapers were actually more of a tragic race, and the reason they come out of dark space every 50 000 years is to search for technology from advanced races to stop the spread of dark energy. In the story, dark energy was something of an unstoppable force which would consume the entire universe if not for the Reapers, who in every 50k years, come out of hiding, harvest the most technologically advanced sentient species, combine it with their own, and slow the spread of the dark energy's destruction.
The original morality choice ending was as so-- Shepard would either choose to destroy the Reapers; therefore saving humanity and the entire universe for a short time before the dark energy consumed everything, or stall, and allowed the Reapers to devour all life to stop the dark energy.
Alas, this ending did not come to pass as reports blamed EA, IGN and several other sites for news leak. This forced BioWare to change the story to save the franchise's interest.
This is OFFICIAL news from lead writer Drew Karpyshyn himself. Sources are here; http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/17086/mass-effect-writer-drew-karpyshyn-reveals-original-mass-effect-3-endings.
I honestly think anything would have made a better ending than the Red, Blue or Green ending we have now. I guess nothing can be said until the extended ending DLC of Mass Effect 3 comes out in summer 2012.
Shit wei that would have been a much,much better ending.Drew is a really good writer and they should have gone with his plan, instead of the crappy deux ex machina they pulled out of their ass.Btw awesome shit guys. Keep up the good work!
