The FAQ says:

That we should load a save before the attack on cerberus... I wonder if I even have a save at that point. Oh my god it would probably mean starting ALL over... Or maybe I could take someone's save... can't believe they actually went through it though, props to bioware I guess?

Guys, don't worry: I just finished ME2, so it's a while to get there, probably 2 days.
What?

Technically it's not even an ending change, it just extends it.

This. Apparently just fleshes it out.

I get the feeling its going to be a massive waste of bandwith...Just under 2 gigs, For a couple of cutscenes and some subtitles?!?!

No thanks.

Maybe it's rubbish like most DLC, at least it's free.

Hmm everyone have the same feelings as I do. We just do not care anymore...

"Extended ending" means that BioWare only added this because they felt they had to, not because they wanted to. To preserve their "Artistic Integrity"

I am done with ME3.

While the overall story of ME3 was good, The ending has caused me to only see the Mass Effect series as a duology (2 parts), With the 3rd being a kind of spin-off.

I don't envy the game's developers, they have an impossible task ahead of them - taking an enigma of an ending and giving fans some closure, without giving too much away.

I liked that the last few moments were open-ended and up for interpretation. On the other hand, it did feel a bit haphazardly put together and incomplete, so hopefully this DLC will make it more cohesive.

I just don't like how the developers lied to the fans. They said that there were no ending that was the same with another color scheme. Every ending was unique. These were stated in interviews. Hell take a look at one of Angry Joes reviews when he interviewed the devs for this game. When they lie to get more sales that's when I say it's ok for the people to be angry.

Now on that note 1.9 gigs is a lot of information, especially for some clips so this could be interesting.

Dragon Age 2
SWTOR
Mass Effect 3

Let's face it, Bioware's recent track record of games have not been great. Bioware is not the company it once was so I do not hold much hope for this extended ending.
