#DARK SOULS 2 REAPERS UPDATE#

вЂњWeвЂ™re gonna combine the best parts of you with the best parts of me,вЂќ Wilkinson says in this end, вЂњweвЂ™re gonna send that out to the universe and itвЂ™s gonna change everything.вЂќ ThatвЂ™s exactly the same as the version we got. The final option was the Synthesis ending, but instead of being the most difficult to obtain, and therefore coded as the вЂbestвЂ™ option, it would be вЂњthe ending everybody could get,вЂќ with the other candidates likely going on to guess how many paragon or renegade points you earned.

You still said вЂfuck youвЂ™ to the Queen.вЂќ From there, itвЂ™s pretty similar to the Control ending, where Shepard is using the reapers for good. вЂњAnd the paragon option,вЂќ Wilkinson adds, вЂњwas вЂIвЂ™m so amazing IвЂ™ll take control of these reapers and IвЂ™ll use them for the proper reasonsвЂ™.вЂќ You, Shepard, were then absorbed into the gigantic King Reaper. This destroys the reapers, with no cost whatsoever the loss of all synthetic life as in the final gameвЂ™s Destroy ending, but rather the Earth being wiped out in the explosion. вЂњThe renegade option was, ShepardвЂ™s like, вЂGo fuck yourself.'вЂќ After that, Shepard leaves the simulation and begins to fire up the Citadel. Players would then have the traditional three options for the desired ending flavor. We canвЂ™t wait to move forward, but itвЂ™s OK.вЂќ And so the conversation was with her, вЂThis is a chance to do more. SheвЂ™d say, вЂњWe must evolve, but weвЂ™re inadvertent of evolution because of AIвЂ™s limitations.вЂќ She was their queen, but she wanted things the reapers didnвЂ™t like, so they locked her away inside the Citadel and never listened to her again. She claims that her servants have been imprisoned for arguing that their cyclical destruction of civilizations wasnвЂ™t viable. Shepard enters вЂњa virtual worldвЂќ and meets what Casey Hudson described in the notes that Wilkinson was working from as вЂњthe God of the Reapers.вЂќ I believe it was a queen?вЂќ

вЂњAt that time Shepard was so augmented with like electronical bits and all the rest of that kind of shit, I had him just plug himself into the Citadel,вЂќ says animation director Dave Wilkinson. This is the beginning with Shepard arriving on the Citadel, which has a mysterious superweapon dubbed the Crucible, and jumping in. Instead of the Catalyst, aka the Star Child, the annoying AI who presents up with a reductionist take on the inevitability of conflict between synthetic and organic life at the finale, there was a Reaper Queen. It has a lot of similarities to the ending we ended up with, but it has also been noted that thereвЂ™s a lot of significant differences. While weвЂ™ve mentioned a version of Mass Effect 3вЂ™s ending planned by Drew Karpyshyn before leaving BioWare, this animatic version seems to have been created after that, and has been in place until the actual ending was written. Manveer Heir, a gameplay designer, explains the ending вЂњcame in really lateвЂќ and only an animaticthe video equivalent of a storyboard existed for a long time before that. вЂњA lot of us donвЂ™t have a lot of good sense of what the ending is going to be,вЂќ says cinematic designer John Ebenger. It also explains that many members of the team didnвЂ™t know how Mass Effect 3 would end when they developed it. ItвЂ™s a great video, and itвЂ™s worth a look, particularly for the section where it highlights the extra crunch that developers had to complete to tie the Extended Cut together, after already scrambling to finish Mass Effect 3.

People Make Games on YouTube asked several former BioWare developers who worked on Mass Effect 3 how they felt about the endings, notably about putting together the Extended Cutan update that expanded on the endings and addressed some of the many concerns players had. вЂњShe was their queen, but she wanted things the reapers didnвЂ™t like,вЂќ she said.
