After that, the game remains largely the same until you reach the Catalyst, who this time offers some extra information on the options available to you as well as a greater sense of what the consequences will be for the choice you make. I highly recommend taking your romantic interest in the game on this mission, as you will get some extra interactions with them for doing so. This DLC does offer an explanation as to why your squadmates from this section of the game are back on the Normandy when it leaves earth, as well as why the Normandy is leaving in the first place. In fact, the first time I was aware that the DLC was actually running was during the sprint toward the beam with my squadmates. For most of that replay time your experience will remain unchanged. In order to access the DLC you will need to start playing a save from before * Spoilers* the attack on the Cerberus Base *Spoilers* and play through both that mission and the mission on earth.
Warning: This review will have spoilers for Mass Effect 3's original ending, but will try and avoid spoiling the Extended Cut where possible. If you don't play this DLC your ending still stands, this new ending simply makes some small changes in order to fix plot holes, offers some extra info on the final choice you have to make and shows a little more of how your actions leave the galaxy. Having now played through the four (yes there are four, more on that later) endings that the new Mass Effect Extended Cut DLC features my feelings are still mixed, but I am in no doubt that Bioware have crafted the best ending they could have without taking back the ending that had already set as canon.
Whatever your opinion as a Mass Effect fan, the knowledge was there that the True Ending of the game was coming up on the horizon. Some were ecstatic to hear that the ending would be fixed while many thought that changing the ending this way was setting a dangerous precedent for the integrity of stories in our industry.
Firstly the ending polarised fans, having a Marmite style Love it or Hate it effect, then Bioware announced that they would be treading hugely untested ground for our industry by changing the games ending due to fan feedback with free DLC. For the last three months or so, fans of Bioware's Mass Effect series have been in a sort of limbo.
