Wow... simply breath-taking. I barely know what to say.

As for the game itself, I think I'll need a little more time to collect myself.

As for Liara, I honestly can't think of anything I didn't love about her. I think they carried the fact that she and Shepard were in a steady relationship very well.

And I've never said this about anything comparable before, but the love scene was beautiful.

I'll make a longer post when I'm able. Right now I'm still trying to absorb all this.

Hello all! I stayed up late last night finishing the game. And my thoughts?
....Well, I'm not exactly sure what to think. Overall, I believe this game was incredibly beautiful, emotionally engaging, and still holds that Mass Effect is my all time favorite game series. And every bit with Liara left me mansqeeuing with excitement.

But, there is the matter of the Reaper in the room: The ending.
Please let me just say that the from Shepard and Anderson sitting down together, to Shepard making the choice, it was beautifully and hauntingly presented.

However, while I am not angry about the ending, (I got the best one) and while there is room for headcannon, I'm not happy about it either. I guess it just makes me feel sad. To me, the Mass Effect series has always been about overcoming the impossible. Standing up against overwhelming odds with nothing but the power of will, hope, love, and friendship to drive you forward. Even when things are their most bleak, and coming out on the other side. We experienced it when Shepard reached Iilos, used the Conduit, and saved the galaxy by prolonging the Reaper invasion. We experienced it during the suicide mission, when Shepard accomplished the impossible by going through the Omega 4 Relay, and destroyed the Collectors with nothing but the support of his crew and squadmates. And I deeply wished that Mass Effect 3 would have followed this path.

I don't need to be shown that war is grim, and that losses and tragedy are inevitable. Everyone knows this truth. I just felt like, despite this fact, there should have still been the possibility of triumph.

I didn't feel victorious. I didn't feel what I did when I saved the Citadel, and destroyed the Collectors. I felt tired and sad. And even though my Shepard lived, he had lost too much. He was a character I put so much of myself into, and knowing that he would be brought back to a ruined Earth, seeing the losses, and how much he gave to win, but ultimately separated from Liara, Joker, Garrus, and everyone else he cared for. I don't know, it just doesn't offer that feeling of triumph or hope that the other two games presented.

That is just my thought on it. Thanks for reading.

*eyes the past 20 posts* yup. Sums up how I feel about these endings. I was dead set on getting Shepard out alive for Liara's sake, i guess not. I get wabut r is supposed to be costly and depressing, and these endings are supposed to give you some sort of hopeful bittersweetness for the galaxies future(s) ... but damnit screw the galaxy! Shepard deserved a chance at something better, so did the normandy crew (especially Liara, that could be bias).
And did anyone else get really angry/choked up during Thessia? omg probably my favorite level.

this 100%

ooo i know, when someone told me to go check on her she went to visit your DLC squadmember i was like oh ****!

Oh yeah, that conversation almost destroyed my Normandy... thank god for the interrupts. 

Does anyone know what happens if you don't take the interrupt?

[DOsquareZER]

She threatens to kill him and than goes no theres too much death and leaves. Then you can tell prothy a couple things i cant remember ... something like dont be smug, she could have finished it...
For the record, i prefer the interupt way, makes liara feel somewhat better... i mean considering..

I fell in love with Liara throughout the game, everytime i think of the scene with the two of them on the bed, talking about disappearing into the stars, and the horrible ending...

It makes me cry...

I only made my choices and fought for HER, not for anyone else. Now you tell me that my shepard can't be with her at the end? I don't accept this

[DOsquareZER]

Yea... ionno i cant even bring myself to play the series again/anymore (as much as i adore liara). I feel horrible. Romances, character interactions, friendships... it all seems so...cruel now to take part in. Bah. Even LotSB gets me misty eyed now cause i know it can never be, hope killed. BW: Insert knife into heart, twist.

On the other hand.  The romance scenes were very well done with her.  I am impressed with those.  That presdium date could have used some work, snuggles when she shows you that message gift thing would have been nice too, but eh oh well.

 Just finished it. The entire game was incredible and beautifull; Romancing Liara got so many cute, loving and emotional scenes. 
The only sad thing is the ending. God I hate it. I at least wanted a chance for a happy ending.

I think one of the most disappointing things is: If I would have gotten an ending where Shepard and Liara are together, even if they kept everything else, I would have been running and dancing around my room at four in the morning, praising Bioware and asking them to have my babies.

Mass Effect 3 is the best game I've ever played, but the entire story just feels for naught now.

Very true. I want to have at least that; That sense of completion and happiness with Shepard and Liara living long and prosper, no matter how cliché it may be.

Since we dropped to the 2nd page. I want to ask a question.

What was your reaction to Shepard saying to Liara during the Sur'Kesh mission when the yahg got free and Shepard said, "There goes the future Shadow Broker."

I started laughing and Liara didn't find it too funny.

[DOsquareZER]

rofl I had garrus with me at the time and he said something along the lines of "Im pretty sure i heard him muttering t'soni the entire time."
followed by liara going "nbot funny!" haha i cracked up a little bit lol

[Yumi50]

Wrex : 'Maybe I don't kiss as well'
Shepard : 'No comment'

>///<

The first 2/3 of the game had me laughing at a lot of stuff.  The last 1/3 tore me up.  From the decisions I made or had to make.  Losing friends.  The ending.  But it's not stopping me from playing more and I enjoy every moment with Liara.

Liara has so many good moments. The joke on Sur'kesh was good. The comment she gave my Shepard in the Cerberus base made me so sad.
And how she defended Shepard against Wrex was awesome.

ME3 made her for me one of the best characters in the series.

But I have to admit Jack comes close second, it's just sad that I don't have many moments with her in my Paragon playthrough

I lol'ed at that too.  Wrex had many funny great lines the whole time you were with him.  Same can be said about everyone else too.  The writing with banter and squad interaction was top notch.

TOTALLY AGREE!! :wub:

Anyone bring Garrus and Liara along on Sur'Kesh?
When a Yahg broke out and Shepard mentioned 'there goes another Shadow Brokers'
Garrus teasing Liara was hilarious!

Shepard sounded sarcastic though. I lol'ed actually.

So what endings did everyone pic in the game?

I finished the game last night and I feel pretty broken up about it. The game really made me feel like I was Shepard, saving the galaxy for Liara. I played 32 hours in 3 days (and I have a fulltime job) so in my sleep_deprived state, every gut_wrenching battle and heart felt moment was truly my own.

I'm so glad this page exists. It's become a support forum for the broken_hearted.

[iamthespark]

Also want to comment how the dlc squadmate really added to liara's story. In a way that I can't imagine it not being in the game. He even comments on the bond you share with liara.
