As a few fanfics from here shows Shepard is without doubt found by some troops looking for survivors and then sent to a still-standing hospital to recuperate. Shepard and Liara would then reunite and be together again as soon as she gets back.

There's really no need for the Normandy and its crew to be the ones to find and rescue Shepard. The allies will send search parties to the Citadel to look for survivors anyway, Shepard will be found by the time the Normandy gets back.

Why? it did not take very long to reach that unknown planet and it would take no longer to get home again. Remember they did not jump via a relay to get there so they would be very close to earth, easily within jumping distance.
As soon as the ship is repaired, which would probably take a few days at least and a few months at worst they would be in their way back.

At worst estimate I think they would be back in Sol half a year after the crash landing, possible as soon as a few weeks or even days later.

Then it would take some time to repair the relay possible taken a couple of months ot a few years at most, and everyone can get going to where-ever they want to be. In my place that would mean Shepard and Liara on the Normandy bound for Thessia to live happily ever after Image IPB 

Yeah, pretty much this. I'd only add that I doubt it would take months to repair the Normandy; if the repairs are more than what the crew can readily handle on their own, the Alliance would just send a rescue ship with the engineers and equipment necessary to retrieve the ship and the crew in some sensible time.

It would have been better if we see Shepard reuniting with the Normandy crew and the LI.

But then why after the memorial scene, when Liara doesn't put Shepard's name and they fly off the planet, we see the Shepard breathing scene.?

Don't try to make sense of the memorial scene, it's there for emotional impact, not because it would make any kind of narrative sense :P. I'm being serious, like so many other things with the ending, it's better to simply enjoy the feels and just forget trying to make logical sense of it.

Again agreed, I just preffered to err on the side of caution. I would say a week or so from the crash til they are back at Earth.

Fair enough. It would have been better if we saw Shepard being rescued and the EC showing a Normandy/LI reunion.

That's probably the simplest, best explanation of how to cope with the endings that I've read yet.  Props.

was it so hard for some random guy to scream " he/shes over here" after the breathe scene?

I wonder what happens to Liara after ME3. She is alive (I chose destroy today) with a spaceflight capable normandy on a unknown location. But even if they dropped out of FTL and survived it. Wouldnt it be in the middle of nowhere? (including the random planet ofcourse) No where near a still damaged mass relay. How would they get to earth? Would take a very long time to fly with the normal FTL drive. Maybe she can live it out but what about food? And still even if she reaches earth, shepard would have been dead for a looong time.

Unless you assume the red energy wave pulled a Caretaker and hurled the Normandy arbitrarily far away, the planet they crashed/landed on can't be all that far away from Earth. They're at worst maybe a few days of FTL flight away, so they'll be on their way back to Earth just as soon as they patch the Normandy up a bit.

Thats silly at worst they are a few days away, at best a few hours. But do you think Shepard has days to wait?Either some soldiers or people find him at the rubble or the Normandy is a few hours away.


Heheheh, i didnt mean to start anything by my comment. I was not assuming the red energy wave "pulled a caretaker" as you put it. :P I was referring to the fact that mass relay travel is MUCH faster than regular FTL travel.

Oh wait, now i know where you are getting at.
I assumed the normandy used the mass relay to gtfo of the sol system after the retreat order. And hence mass relay travel is so much faster than regular FTL travel the way back would take much much longer if they would get interrupted mid way. :P Nevermind, thats just my crazy assumptions. :)

Yes, it would have definatly be better if we did. But we didn't. And that is probably the biggest thing I am disappointed of in the EC.

Not artistic enough, basically. It wouldn’t be conducive for speculation if it was that clear.

…

Wrt. the physics of the Normandy crash landing: there is no way in which it makes sense. Like, at all. Therefore, it’s best to approach is to just work back from how long  you want it to take for the Normandy to make it back to Sol. A couple weeks or months seems popular from what I can tell.

I went a different way in “Unity”, though.

Even if they used the Charon relay, as far as I know that only leads to Arcturus system, which is only 37 light years away. That's three days FTL away, if they made it all the way to Arcturus - which they didn't, since that system has no habitable planets.

But as lillitheris pointed out, that whole scene doesn't make much sense either (seeing a pattern here? anyone?), at least not the way it's portrayed in the cinematic. At regular FTL it would have taken them something like 8 hours just to reach the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri (which we know does at least contain a habitable planet, so it's a feasible option for where they ended up), but the cutscene sure doesn't look like that much time had passed since they jumped away. And it doesn't make any kind of sense that they would flee that far away or then get hit by the wave just as they got near the system.
So you're pretty much left to make up your own sense of that scene; unless you're looking to make it depressing for yourself, just imagine up a scenario where they get back quickly;)

Despite the fantastic surroundings, the authors (Mass Effect) managed to create a almost "literary" character. Authors successfully depicted of Liara's history. From a young graduate of the prestigious university up to an influential character in the galaxy. Computer's games are noticeably "matured."

Yeah, I went (or will go, since none of you have read it yet) a different way with Returned, but I agree that the idea that a ship like that can make a crash landing and remain so largely intact is just... creative...

But to be on topic, here's an oldie but goodie:

Nice pics and conversations. I agree they used FTL instead of relay since the distance and so on from relay. the ship probably got a few systems away.

noticed some of the fleet did not get away when Normandy did

I think they basically retconned the crash landing into a regular landing for repairs, maybe just slightly rougher on touchdown. Or maybe a "regular" landing was always going to be rough anyway, I seem to recall the SR2 isn't even supposed to be able to land on a planet.

As for Returned: I was sad to read it's on hold for a couple of months, but I'm very glad you hadn't abandoned it, it's one of my favourite ongoing fanfics. It was a pretty long wait for these last two chapters as well, but it was well worth the wait in the end, I loved them both. I'm sure it will be the same when you eventually continue/finish this story :)

Agreed, things were starting to get a good speed yesterday, then one goes to bed and everything becomes silent again Image IPB, we need a topic (or even better: new content to discuss, a shame we can't make that happen though), unfortunately I am all out of ideas Image IPB

Can you believe before Mass Effect 3 was released i asked for flashback. Before shepard dies to have a flashback or before the final moment.

The entire forums have been oddly quiet today. It's like Diablo III re-launched or something. Maybe they just blew their load on discovering Kaidan's face model last night and now don't have the energy to post anymore?
