Livewire, what I told you is still true, but there has been some adjustments to it as I was using the information from the old leaks whereas now I've managed to get pictures and the new updated information.
I know the facts, I was one of the half dozen that managed to get my hands on the new files because he only uploaded them for 10 minutes at an awkward time. What I can tell you is there's a lot of misinformation flying about, even more than the old leaks, and I will answer your question but not here because the spoilers are too big so I'll PM you instead.
Okay, then that's good if it's still true to the effect you said (since it would've sucked if what Old Man said was true regardless). And yeah, naturally the Bioware forums have ending spoilers.
Someone who got a version of the game from those weather balloons has been extracting and uploading the videos he's come across in game as he goes along so naturally there'll be them. Though, from what I heard he didn't even get a decent/good ending, so...
But yeah, I'll leave it at that, since I've probably got enough information as it is. That being said, the moment a Mass Effect 3 commercial was on TV last night was when things got real and I was all "holy crap, it's 6 days away".
