The line makes it obvious that they had been together before the love scene at the end, we just don't get to see it, must be those "benefits" he mentioned at lunch

I didn't get the "why didn't you wake me?". When does he say that?
It was one of the random non interactive conversations in the observation deck. I can't remember exactly when it happened, but it was probably a good few missions after the romance started. I spoke to all characters after every mission, if you speak to him every time, you should hear it eventually.

Very happy to hear that! Someone in another thread told me he dies at the end and it was made clear. I was confussed because he got shot down at the end but was fine. I even had the farewell speech with him before the big battle. Shame it's only via the holographic thingy. I guess it wont be as sweet and tear inducing as Kaidan's was. Well it may be, just not physical.

And about the endings... I was actually pretty satisfied with the ending. I was into destroying Reapers and Shepard sacrificing. And it did. Pity Relays got destroyed.
Now I wish they'd do more DLCs.
You were happy with then endings?Every part of all endings?
Spoilers
The most I found jarring was the Normandy part of the endings. Why is the Normandy going through a mass relay, shouldn't it have been at Earth? And how did the crew get onto the Normandy when they were on Earth fighting? Just didn't make sense.
And the epilogue of the "Destroy" and "Control" choice, it was like watching a movie, where the main character has this amazing adventure, just to realize at the end that it didn't really happen, because before the beginning of the movie they fell asleep or something. Yeah, like a said jarring, and totally not to my liking.

Spoilers and my anwser
Well, I didn't really like the epilogue. But I liked the final overal. How epic the fight for earth was. Fighting for earth, from husks, from Reapers(i kinda epxected more to hear form Harbinger, like more fight or something, we seen him for a minute, literally)... How Shepard said goodbye to all the squadmates. Then, how Anderson died, saying Shepard made him proud... To be honest, I was crying. Then how they sat together and looked at Earth. Then, how Sheaprd chose the 'destroy' option, without any doubt, not caring about own life and having flashbacks.
And if you did everything right, you got the short cutscene, where it shows Shepard survived, among ruins. I wish they shown more of this.
About the Joker and Normandy, I can't really say why was Normandy in the Relay, not on Earth. I can't figure it myself too. Maybe they wanted to get as far as possible from Relays and the 'destroy-wave' to save EDI and Normandy and everything else? Or maybe they were heading to Earth? I don't know. I hope they'll give us many DLCs. I have really no problem paying more. Those games were epic experience.
But the epilogue, I just interpreted it not as a story, but when humanity survived, Shepard became a legend. Next generations lived with this and even if they couldn't go to stars yet, everyone knew what happened, what Shepard achieved and sacrificed. That the Stargazer - the old man was telling the kid what happened, how they were saved.
I know that 'tell me another story about Shepard', said by the kid can be that it was just a bed-time story. I just wanted it to interpret like I did, because it sounds more epic. Like, giving justice to Shepard.
I dunno, but when I played the game, all the games, all Mass Effect games, I somehow felt the character, like it was me. I hope I wasn't alone. But because of this this whole experience was SO INTENSE.

I am interested in why you liked the Stargazer, because that to me was the final sucker punch in a series of sucker punches provided by the ending. I certainly respect that they got Niel Armstrong to do the voice, but just implying all three games were a story, told by someone we have no idea about? Just frankly it disgusted me. If you wanted to do the DAII thing, it should have been an old Liara or Wrex, make use of their thousand year lifespan. Thankfully it is an after the credit thing so it is easier for me to pretend it doesn't exist...the Guardian and the choices though. Ugh.

the other 99% of the game that *ISN'T* the last five minutes is - I just

this amazing game turned into... whatever that was at the end.)

Ending stuff
I do agree that pretty much everything before going to talk with the Guardian was amazing. Pretty much everything about the game up until then was great. The Guardian just ruins the reapers, and the fact that all the ending choices are so similar and depressing...it really hurts.
The Normandy part was so stupid it is almost not worth talking about, if you want her to crash, make her crash on Earth damn it.

Also yeah Ending variation does not exist. They might have different implications, but nothing is explained, and the cutscene is virtually the same. There is one ending, and it is ****ing depressing.

I have a question about Steve if anyone can answer. It contains a spoiler about the ending so if someone doesn't want to know don't read ahead....
.....in my playthrough Steve died during the final stretch as he was shot down by.... I think it was a harvester, not sure. Anyhow what I want to know is, does this always happen no matter what? I never got to the part where you go hang out with him at the club so I'm wondering if he died because I didn't "complete" his friendship or whatever. Can anyone enlighten me?

But like dude not cool! To me this thread is like my local, the booze may sometimes not be the best, there are bar fights of course, but the regulars are my mates.
Since I've been warned away from discussing anything other than the same-sex romances, I'll say something I've wanted to say since I first saw the romance scene with male Shepard/Kaidan. Did anyone else like the fact that Kaidan seemed to dominate that encounter?

Somehow I didn't get his friendship options. After the talk about his husband I had no more chances for conversation with him (And I was very thorough at checking in with him) I never got a captain cabin scene or a citadel meetup. But I guess his death in my game didn't mean that much since I never got to get to know him <_<

He never showed up for me. I told him to take shore leave the next time we were at the Citadel and for the rest of the game I kept looking for him each time I went there and he never showed.

After you tell him to take off he's standing at the viewing area at the Normandy's docking bay looking at the ships. You talk to him then and he mentions wanting to leave a picture of his husband at the memorial wall at the refugee camp. That's where he'll be after the next mission. After you talk to him there, he'll send you an e-mail asking you to meet him at Purgatory, and the next time you go to the Citadel that's where he is.
edit: Good rule of thumb is to check the map every time you enter an area on the citadel. NPC's that can be interacted with will be listed.
