You're welcome. I barely did any multiplayer and just replayed the game with the extended ending about a month or so ago. I had a lot of assets and was just a couple hundred points away from getting all the endings...but my readiness level was always at 50%. The 2 DLCs I mentioned gave me enough, so no need to do any multiplayer. And they are good DLCs - especially Leviathan. And the extended ending is quite better, imo.

Total newb here but an old hand at Mass Effect, it's my absolute favourite game series

Have you guys all seen the new teaser screenshots of the new DLC? I was hoping it would maybe be set post-game but looking at them I'm not so sure it will be...

 

[Remy]

Very cool. I played all the ME2 dlc and enjoyed them all so looking forward to playing the other ME3 dlcs as well.

 

[DaSaru]

You still need to have a certain EMS rating to get the "good" destruction ending. BUT - if you do the two DLC's (Leviathan and Omega) you get more assets which may just give you enough - if you are close right now.

if i am not mistaken the Extended Cut also lowers the requirement. I know that continuing from ME2 gives you some assets as well.

I think you are correct. I believe you need your assets to be at least 6200 if your readiness level is 50%. I think mine ended up being around 7000 which is what you needed before for the Sheperd lives ending.

I thought I read that with the extended cut version, there is no point requirement for that extra scene at the end of the strawberry flavor ending.

My first (pre EC) play through I chose mint flavor so not sure.
My 2nd playthrough (with EC and Leviathon) I chose strawberry and got it, but can't remember the score.

This is what I found:

The Extended Cut has lowered the EMS required to achieve all available endings to 3100, which is now easily obtainable with single player alone.


I am assuming you need 3100 or more to get that extra scene with the red ending.

yeah that sounds right.
And the way it should have been done to start with. The way you previously really needed multiplayer points to get the best ending to a single player trilogy was absurd.

 

[Jen]

Just read that yes you do need an EMS of 3100 for that extra scene as well as to be able to get the better endings for all 3 choices.

 

[Remy]

Cool. Thanks again for the info guys.
I HAVE to get that good ending!!!

 

[Spartan Rex]

The new DLC might expand on the ending more.
They've got all the writers and main voices back for the next one.
Supposedly a very emotional story.

Wait, there's another dlc coming that's gonna extend the extended dlc ending even more?

Haven't checked the details but isn't the new DLC involves the Citadel? I can't see how they're going extend the ending beyond adding some more scenes to the available endings.

I'm actually hoping the new DLC would be about the people in the Citadel escaping the attack of the Reaper and Cerberus. I know at least Jacob and Zaeed got away since we talked to them near the end of the game.

 

[astro666]

That's a great idea DaSaru, that could be some fun DLC, getting to play as Zaeed or Jacob or maybe even Miranda.

When I say "extend" I mean fill in gaps and tie up loose ends some more. But nothing as extensive as what has come before. This is conjecture on my part as they reference high emotional content as well as the principles returning and all writers are contributing.
Add the fact that they must be getting close to wrapping up all DLC for this game and moving on to other projects so I'm sure they want fans to have as satisfying a feeling about this saga as possible.

This article confirms my 2 cents imo:

I am curious to see what they can do.
Man it would be freaking mind blowing if the new DLC does in fact confirm indoctrination theory and is post game content of Shepard fighting it off (It'd also allow them to set something down for ME4)

Other than that, I'm not sure what would have such an emotional impact. The story is done and outcomes cemented by players. Another DLC like Omega isn't going to help. And while I loved Leviathan, I don't need another one to fill in more backstory. I felt Leviathan and the EC endings wrapped things up nicely.

I dont completely undestand, is this set after the events of the ending, or its still before the ending?

 

[Gipetto0812]

Would be funny if t's before the ending.

Comm Shep: "Hey let's all just take a day or so off from fighting reapers and shop for stuff for my new apartment"


Still going to buy the DLC though
