Mass Effect 3 - Voice Actors Return
 

G4TV caught up with Lance Henriksen in a video interview to talk about the new ending for Mass Effect 3, confirming BioWare's "extended cut" will feature all new fully-voiced scenes and not just slides or similar:

Imagine the shit storm that will ensue if BioWare will charge for this extended cut. It will be legen—wait for it—dary!

No, they said too many times that it will be free.

Their biggest problem imho is when the fans realize that a few extra scenes simply can't fix the myriad of plot holes all the way throughout since ME2. The fans may have already realized this now, making the whole extended cut exercise rather pointless.

The great thing about lack of spare time is that there are always plenty of good games to play, and I am sure I speak not only for myself, but for most casual gamers who have kinda grown up in the last several years. We do not generally purchase a game at release date, and we do not play through it in three days either.

Personally, I will purchase ME3 when they released the extended cut and it proves to be largely bug free. ME 1 and 2 were enjoyable games, so I am actually looking forward to the conclusion. It does not need to happen today, though. And I won't waste my time on something only half finished.

Oh, that's good then (it being free).

I wouldn't say the ending is half-finished. A lot of things just don't make a lot of logical sense in that it's is not explained how they could be believably come to pass, i.e. plot holes. If you can just shrug that off, like I did, it can still be a satisfying ending.
