BioWare recently announced that the free ‘Directors Cut’ DLC for Mass Effect 3 will arrive free of charge on June 26. While it will expand on the original ending by offering extra details for decisions players have made throughout the series, it will not fundamentally change the way the game ends, and executive producer Casey Hudson knows this will disappoint some people.
“Ultimately our passion is entertaining people, so delighting them with our stories and giving them amazing worlds to escape to, that’s what we love to do, so in this medium it just wouldn’t make sense for us to make some kind of artistic statement, and then turn our backs on it forever,” said Hudson.
“There was some feedback that we can’t address,” added Hudson. “There are people who just outright rejected the whole concept of the endings, and wanted us to start from scratch and redo everything. And we can’t do that because that’s not our story, we wouldn’t know how to write that story. What excites us is the challenge of learning how people consume our stories, so it’s a learning process for everybody. And then incorporating that feedback, that’s how we make our work better.”
