The guide is very low on spoilers, actually. The ending descriptions are about as detailed as you would find on the forums, except it tells you how many war assets are needed to achieve them, and the numbers are different depending on whether you saved or destroyed the Collector base in ME2.

I wouldn't be happy at all if they came out with an ending DLC. ): I can deal with missing missions and extra characters, but a happy ending? Normally, I'd be okay with just headcanon. I wouldn't be thrilled about it, but I'm used to it. But really, if everyone else got a happy ending added to their games when people without DLC were stuck with just headcanon? No fair. Some things are just unacceptable to leave out of the main game and sell as DLC later.

Oh well, enough negativity for this post. I still think ME3 is awesome - the whole series is awesome - and I won't let the ending ruin anything for me, just like a bad ending to an otherwise perfect movie, book, or TV series. And Garrus' romance is the best I've ever seen in a game. Also, I'm only a few missions into the game, but I don't feel like anyone's trying to ninjamance my Shep yet, not even Liara. Well done on that part, so far.


Your post gives me hope! <3  I have so many headcanons for Mass Effect already that adding a few more to sort out the endings wouldn't hurt.  I just really, really wanted that DA:O style ending where you could talk with everyone and have closure and look forward to the future *sigh*

@ SuranaMage I completely agree.

I like your ending!! There will be a serious epic, lover hug and kiss between Shep and Garrus when they reunite. Even though I would like to have seen it in the game, headcanon will have to do! For now at least. It would've been awesome and so fulfilling (not to mention hopeful) to have Shep, her friends, her crew/allies, and her LI try to rebuild the galaxy or at least Earth....while highlighting the losses. The ME team would've gotten their point across while still making some people happy. 

^ I agree again! A DA:O type ending would've been awesome....but I still hold out hope! And your comments about Garrus has me all happy again!!! Why can't I just skip all the missions and have more romance convos/interactions with him already? [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/tongue.png[/smilie] Damn you Garrus, you are too amazing! [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/heart.png[/smilie]

 

Thank you! <3  I guess I will have to headcanon that ending but maybe that's a good thing because so many fans have different wants for their LI so everyone can have a different headcanon :lol:  I've decided my Shepard and Garrus are going to adopt A BABY KROGAN YES.  And they'll name him Nihlus hahahaha :wub:

You know I was watching the end of Final Fantasy X-2 after not having seen it in years... I know lots of people hated the game but it was my first FF game and I just absolutely fell in love with Yuna and related to her in so many ways.  I ended up caring about her as much as my Femshep!  But anyway, the Perfect Ending you can achieve where Tidus comes back...oh god it wasn't the fact that she got to see him again but that EVERYONE was standing on beach smiling and laughing and you knew that after all the hardships from before that the future was bright because there was so much to look forward to.  I felt GOOD when I finished the game, like I had really helped Yuna accomplish something.  Same goes for DA:O and Baldur's Gate.  At the end, you knew that despite the loss and turmoil the characters you cared about (Minsc, Imoen, Alistair, Sten, Oghren, etc.) would be there for you <3

In Mass Effect 3, everything seems so bleak and depressing...I think a happy ending should be hard to achieve given the difficulty of war but they went overkill on it, I think.  I just wanted the Normandy reunited with Shepard and to see Joker and James giving each other a high five (Joker cringing slightly, James laughing and giving him a pat on the back), Tali and Liara rushing over to give Shepard hugs, and Wrex getting all emotional and hugging Shepard in a Korgan bear hug <3<3<3<3  And of course the Garrus/Femshep kiss and headbump :lol:

Ahhh I am too much of a romance for my games!  I can't help it.  Shakarian makes me do it :wub:

:( Maybe they will do it as a patch? :D I will have hope until Bioware says different! Or....maybe...it will be FREE DLC!!! I know I know....very unlikely. Not like they need the extra cash anyway....I guess it would really show how much their care about their fans - their loyal fans. The ones who mainly play for the RPG aspects...for the characters. They are eventually going to respond to the backlash. They have it. Especially within the next couple of weeks as more and more players finish it. So....we'll see.....at least we all have each other and can share headcanon/fanart that will, to a certain extent, fix things!! And think of players that don't know about the forums and suffer alone....like I said, we have each other! :DB)

Oh, it's not the cost that's a problem for me here. I paid a lot to have all the content in DAO - the original game, the expansion, and the Ultimate Edition so I could have the DLC. I don't play that many games, so I'm okay with buying the same one for a second time a year later just to get the extra missions and characters that most people had from day one. It's DLC in general that I've never liked. I'll never use an internet connection with my consoles (in the case of ME, my Xbox), and for a lot of games, it's not so bad because they come out with GOTY editions later that include this extra stuff on the disc. It seems the Mass Effect series are the only super-popular games that don't have one, for whatever reason.

It is great than the fans can all come here, cheer each other up, and share headcanon to make the ending a little brighter... in our imagination. Before this, nothing has ever made me want to start writing fanfiction. xD

I'm glad. :) I think most of us here will be able to fix this in what we imagine our Shepards' stories to be. A DAO-style ending and choices would have been perfect. Honestly, that's what I was expecting.

I've been doing as much research as I can on ME3, and I've decided that I won't be playing the endings. I'm just going to stop right after the final goodbye with Garrus -- and imagine my own ending (one that actually makes sense).

Also, since I still don't have my game (my purchase problems are 'being looked into' ...) I have started my 5th playthrough of ME2. I've played 3 times as Vea Shep, my paragade who romances Garrus. Once as a maleShep (Max) who romanced Jack. And now I'm playing as Hera Shep, who is going to romance Thane (I think her name is perfect for a Thane romance) -- [Note: Spoiler-like ahead] that's because I think I can play the ending with a Shep who has romanced Thane, since it won't be nearly as heart-breaking (or depressing) of an ending as they've made it out to be with Garrus. But I've read that they've screwed the Thane romance content. I haven't been able to find any relevant youtube videos to confirm, but I've heard that crew members don't even acknowledge that he died -- that's a minor plot-hole. I don't even know what the ending entails for Jack, and I'm worried... At least BW did wonderfully on Garrus' romance content, so minus the ending, I'll be pleased with that. :)

Popping in to say that my ME3 preorder is on it's way, and I plan to answer the door when the mailman arrives and say "Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations."

Hello!

I've been lurking around on this thread since...forever it seems. I've been lurking about here recently since I don't want to spoil myself elsewhere and share my love for Garrus at the same time.

I've been extemely lucky with spoilers. For example, I didn't know Garrus would show up the way he did in ME2, and I had the guide! I also didn't know I could romance him either. Did you know the ME2 guide said you could flirt with him but not romance him? So imagine my happy surprise when I got to the whole "reach and flexabilty" conversation? After I finished that playthrough I immedietly went back to ME1 and killed of Kaiden so I wouldn't cheat. Sorry Kaiden.

Anyway, I know I'm late to the party, but I've enjoyed my stay.

SLIGHT ME3 NON MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!





I got Garrus and went on a mission that crosses paths with a certain reformed foul mouthed squad mate. When Garrus comes up the former squaddie says to Garrus to bite Shep for trusting Cerberus. But then again, she might like that. I laughed so much I thought I would wake my husband up. The timing of the scene was awesome.

A little random....does anyone have a Garrus signature link/code? I've been trying to find one but I can't so far. I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

OMG.

That was awesome. You guys listened! They really listened!

/flails about in all sorts of happy\\

Though the endings haven't really hit me yet. I'm still processing the whole heart ache of Garrus.

I haven't gotten to the ending yet, though I am really in no hurry to run to my death.  Reminds me of the End of Time episodes at the end of the 10th doctor's (David Tennant) form. 

Ood Sigma: You should not have delayed.
The Doctor: Last time I was here you said my song would be ending soon, and I'm in no hurry for that

Kinda makes me wish there was a Doctor out there in the MEverse who could come in and take care of our Reaper problem.  I dunno, maybe that's how my headcannon could work--time travel.  Somehow the Doctor and his Tardis show up and save the day.

Sheesh, I am not even at the ending yet and I am already sad about it.  This doesn't bode well for me Image IPB

Awesome, polls! :D You know the thing that annoys me most about not being able to post in the ME3 forums, besides getting thrown out of the character threads I've been part of for months? Not being able to post my opinions about the ending when I see discussion about it. This is the next best thing, at least.

I know the feeling. I'm not sure if I'll play the endings. I mean, I like to push my characters to see how far they'll go for their goals and the people they care about, and my own plots put them through hell... but I don't push them until they die and give them a "there's no light at the end of the tunnel for you" conclusion after everything they've been through. I'll either stop right before the end like you, or play them just to replace it with my own headcanon anyway. I already have part of that headcanon planned out - it involves Carson Shepard (my crazy Earthborn/Ruthless Shep) rejecting the options he was offered and creating his own plan. ;)

It's funny, I think this game is so awesome. I have a blast playing it, and I don't want to put it down, even after it starts to hurt my eyes. I've only had one conversation with Garrus on the Normandy so far, but it was brilliant. Even when he didn't have a new conversation, he made comments about the last mission - [minor spoilers?] emotional remarks about war orphans (even better because it was said to my Colonist Shep), and even the random thought that he would have liked to paint when he was a kid. [/spoilers] It goes a long way to making the characters seem real and connected. But then, I remember the ending. I'm glad I have a wild imagination and a Shep like Carson to carry out my "ending solution".

I just played through this part today! Image IPB Hilarious. It made me forgive her (mostly) for punching my Shep in the face.

 Ooo the "biting" comment, I totally loved that part! <3  I haven't seen any more comments on Garrus/Shepard's relationship though?  Can anyone confirm others comment?  I really, really want to see Joker's response, "Guess I know where that stick's going now, Commander."  :kissing:

@Saren: Are you really permanently locked out?  I'm upset too that I can't continue discussing the game, especially in the character threads.  Just because I don't have the game doesn't mean I don't know what's going on--I've been living on youtube for crying out loud! :P

To have Joker say that in-game would be priceless. xD I don't know about other comments yet though. I'm not very far into the game. I just did one (major) sidequest since Garrus' recruitment.

And yeah, I'm permanently locked out because even though I bought ME3, I don't use an online connection with my Xbox. Crazy, right? It won't let me enter the registration code because my copy of the game is not tied to Xbox Live. I guess when I can eventually afford a gaming PC, I'll be able to post there because then my game will be tied to an online account... but don't expect that to happen any time soon. >_>

*hugs* At least you can post here in the meantime! <3  I probably won't get the game until I get a decent gaming PC as well so I guess I'll be locked out for a loooong time...

I really wanted more characters to comment on relationships like in DA:O because it was so well done and amusing--oh Oghren you dirty little beast! :lol:  I did write some dialogues for Tali and Joker about Shakarian back in December on tumblr if anyone is curious to see haha <3

And has anyone heard about a Kaidan/Garrus confrontation?  Does it even happen???

At least we still have this thread. :) I was worried I wouldn't be able to talk to you guys when ME3 wouldn't register, and I didn't even think to check back here. I can thank jellobell for that.

I think all of the romance confrontations are similar to ME1 and LotSB, a few comments (some approving, others funny/insulting) and a choice to be made. I haven't seen one for Kaidan and Garrus yet, so I'm judging by Kaidan/Jacob, Ashley/Tali, Ashley/Jack, and Ashley/Miranda.

Yay! I just received an email that says my copy of me3 is supposed to ship today! :) I Finally get to see all those awesome Garrus scenes in person!! I'm beyond excited. -- even though I was supposed to see them on the 6th... I'm also about 6-9 hours from finishing my 5th playthrough of me2, but hopefully I can finish it before my me3 comes in and I can enjoy all the wonderful Garrus-ness. I've bought the collector's edition, has anyone seen the art-book? Is the art good in there (especially the Garrus parts)? :D

YESSSSSS! I love me some Doctor Who!!! <3 And you know what, if Bioware wants to use random space magic then I will also use my space magic to make this the same universe that the Doctor lives in! :wizard:

And it would be epic to have the Tardis show up (SPOILER: There is a ending with Shep alive but under some rubble - Apparently Anderson will save you if you're alive? But they don't show it in the scene) during this scene and save the both of them and reunite them with their friends/crew/LI. Hell yes.

In all seriousness, I am doing major headcanon to fix the ending and I am thinking about writing a fan fict. because it might help me process all of these horrible emotions and at least have some happiness. I still hope for an ending DLC. But I am not even close to the ending so I am just trying to focus on the the missions and characters - while trying to forget about the endings until I get to that point. So excited for the Shep/Garrus action though! I've only had one conversation so far....:( But I know the wait will be worth it!!

I am adoring the stuff with Garrus in it! :D Loved the citadel bit  ((notsure if this would be considered a spoiler) not so much the romantic bit, the shooting of the top of it like there isn't a care in the world to be had. It is what I would expect. it made a potentially soppy scene believable) 

Yet I must confess I only got into mass effect less than a month ago after my better half going 'Get is so I can play it' and absolutely fell in love with it all.

Agame I don't want to end so dragging out as long as I can. Because based on what I have picked up. I called it. I knew it would happen. But I don't want it to happen... So I am going to enjoy every second of it. Because this stuff is gold.

I love the art book, and Garrus new shiny armour. Seriously shiny, shiny armour. Although has some minor spoilers if you look hard enough at part 3.

I bought the art book. Not sure if it's the same one that comes with the collector's edition, but it's awesome. Pages and pages of turian concept art, Saren and Garrus... It's just perfect. Even better than I thought it would be. I would definitely recommend it to all of you guys.

This is about where I am right now, except in my case, I already have a basic outline of my headcanon that gives me some happiness. I don't even know why these endings make me want to write fanfic so much. I've never done it before, and if I ever did write it, the fanfic would start with ME1. By the time I reached the end of ME3, everyone would have already dealt with the emotional blow. I must really want to correct those ending problems for more than just myself. I guess being part of a community like this one will do that.
