Chris and Jessica, you have to deal with a lot of sources for fan feedback and dialouge with the fans. There's Twitter, Facebook, BSN North America, certain Asian, South American European BSNs and maybe more platforms I haven't mentioned. And it's not only Mass Effect, there are other series like Dragon Age or STWOR.

How many PMs do you receive a day and how do you keep the track of everything? About how many staff do we talk when we say BSN?

If Shepard was on the Citadel and it exploded in Destroy, how could he survive in the breath scene?

You assume Shepard survived. That could have just been a final breath before he/she died.

What did you two do all day? Can you describe us a normal work-day?

[Jessica Merizan]

Why did you say during PAX that everybody on the Citadel is fine after the Reapers' attack on it? Is it possible? How?

As with previous attacks on the Citadel, there are presumed to be casualties. However, as we know with those same previous attacks, the Citadel has safety features that can be activated to prevent mass destruction. I wouldn't say that everyone is "fine", but this is why it's possible for Shepard to survive if you have high EMS when choosing the destroy option.

I have some questions from Sturmschütze:

1. Do we get a Romance DLC?

2. Are you planning ME4 at the moment or are this just some rumors?

3. Will it be possible to customize the Multiplayer-Charakters a bit mor than we can do this at that moment? (Helmet, colors etc.)

4. There are a lot of merchandise articles from Shepard and other squadmates, will you made also some for "random" Chars like alliance marines or cerberus troops?

[Evil Chris Priestl]

Here's a question from Virdo:

As to upcoming DLC, would it be possible or do you plan to release a romance DLC which makes it possible to start a romance with Jack or other characters?

The team does have plans for future story based single player DLCs. We can't really go into detail as to what they would contain yet. Sorry.

How many social networks (like facebook, biowareforum, twitter, etc) did you administrate to communicate with the community?

Note: You can always come back to this place to make an announcement or to talk to the german fans ;-)

Isn't it confirmed, that the last breathing scene shows that Shepard survived the Explosion?

Why the Catalyst's voice has Shepard's in the background?

What does Harbinger say just before hitting Shepard with the laser beam? "Save us" or "Serve us"? Something else?

Why Harbinger in ME3 didn't say a word with his ME2's voice?

The Catalyst's voice is partially formed from Shepard's memories, so his/her voice is part of the speech.

Harbringer doesn't actually say anything at that point. I know, I thought it did as well, but I asked teh Audio team and they told me it is just sound effects, not actually speech.

You assume Shepard survived. That could have just been a final breath before he/she died.

The explosion should have torn Shepard apart. He's clearly in one piece in the breath scene. Also, the last breath is usually breathing the air out, not in. How do you explain that? Where is he in that scene?

[Codebreaker]

If the question of the month continued?

[Jedi-Meister]

When Shepard take the "control" Ending, how much from Shepard is really in the Reapers? For exampel: Does he/she still remember his Friends and/or Relationsships?

[Winyett Grayanus]

By Yuta:

Thanks, Bioware. The EC made it really difficult for me to choose between the endings for each of them had its advantages and disadvantages. The EC finally competes the game and give more explanations which satisfy me more than before. And also thanks for releasing the DLC for free and in German.

[Rapptor]

Are there plans for "high detailed" merchandise like statues/figures (not action figures or something)? I realy would like to have the complete crew as high detailed figures.

Some people on BSN IT thread want to know:

1. Is the bench in the dreams supposed to represent all the furniture Shepard could not save?

2. Why did the Catalyst take the form of the child in the end?

3. What was the mechanical noise that happens right when Shepard wakes up after the beam transport?

4. Why do the dead body textures resemble Ashley and Kaiden?

[Antauronius]

From a poster on BSN:
"If the catalyst lives in the citadel why did he do nothing to help sovereign in
ME1."

Last questions from me:

What do you think of the polls, which were organized by fans. Do you take ther feedback seriously?

And

How do you feel about these statements (link to cvg.com)?

[Evil Chris Priestl]

What did you two do all day? Can you describe us a normal work-day?

After I get to the office I read and respond to all the emails that came though since I left work the day before. Emails happen throughout the day along with IMs, drop by meetings, etc
I usually have meetings during the day that take up time. I always have a chat window open with Jessica (she works in our Los Angeles studio and I am in Edmonton) so we can talk about things.
I read through the BioWare Social Network threads, answering PMs, working with moderators, replying in threads, enforcing the rules, etc
Jessica and I are currently planning our convention plans, so we send emails to vendors and partners while we get our plans set.
If the game is ready, I play through upcoming content (I am playing through the next SP DLC for example)
And I drink a lot of coffee.

Question from Masster Blaster over on BSN:

Is Vendetta a trustworthy source of information in regards to the Catalyst and the Crucible? He was hacked by T.I.M. after all.
