Dylan Plus, was it?
Mass Effect 5 was aiming to offer a "level of autonomy and choice" that could vault it into orbit with Larian and CD Projekt's top RPGs, former dev says post-cancellation

FridaVanMercury@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago Well after something like this it is always either the best thing ever or was a total shitshow.

“Former devs come out saying cancelled game was going to be pretty decent.”

They said that about the original trilogy, then gave us the exact abc ending they said they wouldn’t.
EA still sucks.

I remember reading that the guy behind the original overarching plotline (where the Reapers’ motivation for culling spacefaring civilizations was preventing early entropy of the universe due to overuse of Element Zero) left Bioware after EA bought the company, then the Mass Effect 3 script got leaked several months before release so the ending was hastily rewritten.
I’ve also heard that due to said leak the rewrite was done in a locked room by just two people, a writer and a producer, with no input or feedback from the rest of the writing staff. Given how abrupt and out of place the ending is (and what we have now is the expanded, retconned version - it was much worse at launch), I can easily believe that rumor.
