Mass Effect 3: 5 Reasons Extended Cut DLC Won't Make A Difference

3. That Horrible Conversation With The Child-Reaper Freak at the End?

...That probably won€™t change. Just made longer, and more intricate. +1 for game writing / -1 for longer torture. Since Shepard encounters that child early on, he has become the poster boy for indoctrination, the reapers and all-round general WTF comments on all sorts of forums and mediums. I can€™t explain what he is or what he resembles, that€™s ultimately for each gamer to establish, but he will have a chat with Shepard and he will frustrate you for not giving you the possibility to punch him in the face, or even attempt to, him being a hologram and all. The question should not be why a conversation with that thing is one sided, but why Bioware would choose a child to embody that, thing, and thereby stripping gamers of a liberty they€™ve always cherished: That which allows them to attack anyone they dislike. Why introduce the rules and then back track on them, would be my question to Mr. Hudson and his kind folk. We all know Shepard will never be given the chance to attack a child, hell, according to my fading memory, he€™s probably the only child who shows up in the whole trilogy! All others are just referenced via your history and NPC conversations. Chances of Shepard swinging his/her arms at the child this time around? All-time epic nill.
