So i read that ME3 will have multiple endings.

does any one have a clue on what they will be?

1. obviously you destroy the reapers

2. The reapers win again?

3. even more possible endings?

Probably
Win bigtime

Sorta Win
Win, but heavily screwed
Lose
Epic fail.

They said that they're going to make every ending wildly different for each player.

[BloodyTalon]

I just hope ll the endings are nicely done.

[Dean_the_Young]

Rather than distinct scenarios, I suspect it will be closer to a Dragon Age Origins style multiple endings: while there may be a few distinct end-game scenarios (the multiple ways to re-take Earth, total defeat), most of it will be based on Epilogue Slide Variations (as a concept).

So for 'Fate of the Krogan', you have at least four different variations: 'Wrex and Genophage cure', 'Wrex and No Genophage Cure', 'Wreave and Genophage cure,' and 'Wreave and no Genophage Cure'... plus whatever variables are relevant in ME3.

Then, for 'Salarians post-war', key variables could be 'Council status' and 'Krogan Princess Decision.'


And so on.
Rather than a few ending scenarios, look more for a spectrum of permutations reflected.

Win at the cost of aliens. Human dominance after Reaper War.
Win, losses on all sides. More or less equality after Reaper War.
Win, entire civilizations sacrificed.
Middle ground-ish ending. Galaxy so crippled by the Reaper War that it can be interpreted as either a win or loss.
Lose, pockets of civilization still surviving, but will probably be Reaped.
Lose, the Reapers reaperize everything.
Ambiguous, this is only the beginning of the Reaper War ending. (ALL MY RAGE IF THIS HAPPENS.)

Guaranteed endings, imo:
1. Reapers get their butts kicked.
2. Shepard loses
What I think might happen:
1. An ending where Shepard negotiates with the Reapers and they fight all life into a new cycle or whatever without killing them.

[Thy King]

The way i see it is that there are at least 2 endings:
Paragon: earth is saved, even though a lot is destroyed. This is a combined alien effort.
Renegade: Earths Mass Effect relay is blown, and the explosion destroys both earth and the reaper fleet.

A possible 3rd answer has something to do with dark matter. Maybe shutting down their energy source, but also shutting down the mass relays. (neutral ending?)

[gunswordfist]

Dammit, I meant to say that they fit all life into a new cycle, not fight

[Whatever42]

I foresee a montage ending. There will be the big endings, of course. But then each of your larger decisions will also affect the epilogue. For example, if you destroy the genophage cure then part of the ending will speak to the ramifications of that but if you give it to the Krogan then instead you'll see a different segment.

[jamesp81]

Most likely these three for sure:

1. Epic win. Reapers get face stomped, Shepard's crew survives or mostly survives.
2. Win. Reapers destroyed, many losses to Shepard's crew
3. Pyrrhic Win. Reapers destroyed, but Shepard and everyone fighting with him dies, similar to Fail Ending of ME2's suicide mission.

There could also be a number 4:

4. Epic fail. Everyone dies, Reapers win. This would clearly not be the "canon" ending for any subsequent ME games after ME3.

With the obvious exception of #4, I think the political situation post Reaper war will be the same in all endings.

Edit:

And Whatever's "montage ending" is also a likely element to be used.

You have to consider that even if one reaper escapes ---- there are going to be DLC-s!!!

[Thrombin]

I don't see the political situation being the same at all. It's already different depending on whether Shepard saved the Council or not in ME1. The Geth and Quarian situation could go very differently depending on whether you urged peace or war and whether you converted or destroyed the heretics.

Then there's the fate of Cerberus or the Illusive man. I can't help thinking that at least one ending will have TIM on top.

Other endings could feature Shepard's background.

Other endings could feature different fates for the ME1 and ME2 crewmates as well as, of course, any LI's which might get resolved.

Since most of ME3 is probably roaming round the Galaxy solving each race's problems in an effort to recruit them, the fate of these races could vary greatly depending on choices during the game.

I hope my win involves Humans being at the frontier of the universe.

Although I'd like to see some variety in LI endings. Marriage & kids, committment, casual, go separate ways and @sshole.

I agree, It would be nice to see some endings change, if Shep is Paragon or Renegade.
For example:
Win bigtime:
Paragon - saves everyone, happily ever after ending
Renegade - saves only humans, human dominance, major kickassage (yes this is a word now, *glasses* deal with it)
Paragade - saves mostly humans, some kickassage was involved, humans have more power then others but not overbearing.
etc.

Hey, as long as there is some type of epic cinematic of the all the outcomes I'm all for it.

Oh, I don't think Bioware would be so cruel... Bioware, please say you wouldn't be so cruel!

[Heavensrun]

You know, Bioware's said repeatedly that Shep is the savior of humanity and the galaxy, it's just up to you how that happens.

Why would anybody think for a moment that there would be a failure ending? Dragon Age didn't have one. DA2 didn't have one, Jade Empire, KoTOR, etc...Every bioware game I've ever -played- involved, at the very least, accomplishing your objective. Not to mention it would seriously ****** off a lot of players to successfully endure hundreds of hours (from all the games) and then have the ending tell them "Sorry, reapers won! U din't sidekwest lol!"

Heck, even within the franchise, if you completely botched everything in ME2 and beat the game with the worst possible ending, you -still- successfully infiltrate the Omega relay, destroy the collector ship, destroy the human-reaper, blow up (or sterilize) the collector base, and Joker gets away with the reaper intel.

I'll go ahead and go on the record here as predicting that there is no "reapers win" ending. If you lose the final battle, it'll be because of something you failed to do in the context of that mission, and it'll be "Critical Mission Failure: Restart mission; Load; Exit to title".

Endings will be variations on Reapers being stopped via different methods/sacrifices.

[Thrombin]

Actually, there's already been a Reapers win ending in Arrival. If you let the countdown reach zero you see visions of the Reapers invading.

It could also be argued that the Critical Mission Failure screens that can happen at any time in ME1 and ME2 are failure endings.

I don't believe that any choices you make within the game, however, will result in the Reapers winning. Not unless those choices can be immediately rectified by going back to your last autosave.

All I know is that I want a REAL ending. Not 30-60 seconds of still frame imagery with voice over, then roll credits. I was so disappointed with the ending of Fallout 3 for this reason. I played 60+ hours of an awesome game, just to hear some crappy dialogue and look at low rez still frames for a minute, with no real sense of accomplishment or resolution. I want a real ending cinematic, with real full voice acting and animation, or a full on cg movie like newer Final Fantasy games, that ties everything together and looks good and gives me a bit of a reward for all the time spent getting to that point.

[Eurhetemec]

I really hope for a lot of proper cutscene-based endings.

If the endings are all text, or text and stills (especially just generic stills), I will be extremely disappointed.

With this implemented as well! Would be cool!

[medcsu]

I have a feeling that by the end of it, Shepard (us) will have a detailed conversation with a Reaper (probably Harbinger) as to why they destroy organics every 50k and it will be compelling. That being said, Shepard will then have to choose whether to honor that plan or continue to fight the Reapers.
The Reapers arent just doing this for sport.

Disagree.  The political situation as of the end to ME3 will be more uniform.  The path each player took to get there will vary.  The final result will not, or at least not enough that Bioware will have to declare a "canon history" for any subsequent ME titles.  Smaller details simply won't be mentioned.  Large details, like the balance of power, if any races were exterminated, etc, will likely be pretty uniform.

A perfect example of this is choosing the Councilor (Udina vs Anderson) at the end of ME1.  At the start of ME3, Anderson has stepped down from the Council if he was chosen in ME1 and, I assume, Udina takes over.  If Udina was Councilor and Anderson was Ambassador, then Anderson steps down from his Ambassadorship.

So, the political situation with the human councilor by ME3 is the same whether you chose Udina or Anderson.
