Yeah the extended cut is a must, it's like a 10x longer extension of the ending, resolves a LOT of questions and leaves enough ideas for the universe as a whole to continue.

All the galaxy isn't stranded in our solar system anymore, they all return safely and the relays are still ok, hell in one of the ending shepard basically becomes the protector of the galaxy and overlooks the reapers and helps fix the damage and the relays so life can resume as normal.

Anyways, I am replaying ME2 Paragon Shepard. Even though I have ended it like 11 times, but this time with ALL the DLCs and side quests! Will Import to ME3(got all the DLCs) and try to get over the bullshit that was the ME3 ending! :)

There's Three you need to have .. Listing them in order you need to play/have them.

First is "From Ashes" that adds a very awesome squad mate and some good back story on the reapers and protheans .. this is useful as early as you can install it in the game.

Secondly "Leviathan" which adds a series of missions that also add more back story to the reapers and who/how they were originally made

and lastly make sure that you have the "Extended Cut" because that pretty much adds about half an hour to the ending of the game, gives you a 4th ending choice and basically gives MUCH NEEDED closure to all the characters.

Guys! I got a problem after including DLC's in game

As you know I have played ME3 before without DLC, every thing went right till the end.

Then i downloaded the DLC's From Ashes, Leviathan and extended cut.

Now the problem is when I start mission "Assault Illusive Man Base ". After docking the Normandy, Ashley comes in the Shepard's room, then the dream scene of child after that Shepard wakes up with liara till this point everything is OK. But when Shepard leaves, video goes blank. Though i can hear walking sound when i press navigation keys and also when i press Esc menu shows up. But there is no video.

Please someone help me in this.
Regards

BioWare has confirmed that the new MassEffect games won't be linked to this triology.
As for the confusing ending, watch 'mass effect 3 indoctrination theory' on youtube, when its on

Though i got a glitch after DLC's I watched ending with Extended Cut on net and the player went for Destroying the Reapers and just before credits start they showed showed Shepard lying in ruins and then suddenly he breathes(bm):bdance::Chilli::rock:.
In an interview a BioWare official(just forgot his name) told that there will be no Shepard in ME4.
But having watched the ending I think that Shepard will be back:dance::dance1::guitar: after some sequels maybe in ME5. As he was dead in ME and in ME2 Cerberus re-built him.

They have not confirmed anything like that -_- .. without this trilogy the Universe wouldn't be the way it is.

All they've said is they don't want to use the same character tropes, the new games could be set in the future or past of the same universe with a different character lead and different conflicts, but set in the same universe that's been shaped by these events.

^^Maybe something set during the "First contact war" against the Turians.That'd be nice, cause by the way they ended the trilogy in ME3 (mass relays and all) I don't think a game set in the future would be possible chronologically unless it's set in a very distant future.

i finished the game yesterday along with EC DLC and i think the Indoctrination Theory speculated on the net everywhere could be correct. I'm a big fan of ME honestly and is now pretty much pissed off on the ending... i mean he/she's Shepard! I would like point out few things maybe i'm incorrect but still i would like to say something about them..

First when destroyed the Reaper with the last rockets and went near the beam and saw another Reaper came and everyone was marching towards the Beam and one of our squad member (whoever he/she was based on players choice) got pretty much beat up and was bleeding all over.. in my case it was James and Garrus and James was bleeding and could'nt even walked properly and Shepard then call Jeff for his squad evac! now shepard running and the Reaper Red beam suddenly destroys our path and threw us right? screen turned white and you found your self alive and your armor is gone probably break into pieces and Shepard is bleeding badly and barely even walk now we try to walk towards the light and shoot a couple of husks! You go up found hundreds of bodies lying around you and you talk to anderson.. lets not go into more details.. Chances are when the Reaper shot the Red beam which tried to kill us and screen got white like getting in unconcious state here's the Indoctrination or Illusion starts.

Secondly as you already know that throughout all 3 parts our choices are based on Paragon (Blue) and Renegade (Red) choices good/evil choices right... that God child gave us 3 options? So here we get Destroy ending in Red, Control ending in Blue and Synthesis ending in Green.. The Illusive Man wanted to Control the Reapers! Seren wanted Synthesis i guess (if im not wrong) and Shepard, Alliance and everybody in the Galaxy wanted to Destroy the Reapers once and for all! now if Destroying is the better ending as compared to the other 2 so why it has Renegade color (Red)? and controlling that's like power hungry and worst ending according to the majority of fans has Paragon color (Blue) and last but not least Synthesis which is the Final Evolution according to the Godchild! So hope you understand what i'm trying to say here.

3rd.. all 3 major endings (talking about with high EMS not to mention other worst endings) are quiet same and if you have Full EMS or in easy words Full Green Bar for Military Strength you will see the Crew crash landed or landed intentionally or idk what happened on a beautiful Island and everybody seems to be Physically fine! i mean if you remember one our squad mate got pretty banged up some hours ago hmmm... no bruises no bleeding. If you choose Destroy (Red) no scene of EDI appear that what happened to her and Jeff is standing there who is very attached to her or it.

4th point is when you choose Destroy ending you see in the End Shepard takes a breath in the rubble looks like rocks and idk but Citadel did'nt had any rocks around and than there were N7 tags. That seems more like a place when Reaper hit us on the ground with it's Red beam before running and going into the white beam that leads us to the Citadel.

Final point about Stargazer... He said it all happened very long ago and probably he's telling stories to his son or grandson and when the kid asked when i will go to the stars the old man said "one day my sweet" he did'nt said it's not possible or space traveling is finished.. coz nobody let their little kid go far alone at that age and suprisingly the Stargazer has another story about shepard to tell...

Shepard is'nt dead and none of that happened actually and whatever happened in the end was going inside Shepards head! The reapers tried to control his/her mind and made him believe that it's happening in real and showed him the paths they wanted.
