As Ackland revealed at BioWare’s forums: “You may notice that in the “Shepard lives” ending, the love interest hesitates to place Shepard’s name on the wall, and instead looks up as though deep in thought. Yeap, Shepard is alive in the ‘Destroy’ ending and that figure was actually him. Thankfully, Tully Ackland, UK Community Coordinator for BioWare titles, has revealed what most of us already knew.

And although the free DLC answered a lot of questions, it didn’t reveal whether that figure in the ‘Destroy’ ending was actually Shepard or not.

Mass Effect 3’s ending left some questions unanswered and that’s precisely why BioWare decided to release the Extended Cut DLC for it.
