Just finished ME3 again just so I could have the Breath ending. Didn't have enough points last time. As long as Shepard is alive then there is hope. And yep, ground team were once AGAIN the ones climbing out of the Normandy, so much for true love, camaraderie, and always having Shepard's back. And I still I think the Starchild is trying to manipulate Shepard weather its the Indoctrination theory or not. Though shooting the Starchild really is kind of therapeutic. I walked backward shooting the little bastard the whole time.

This time I missed the last Paragon check on purpose just so I could shot TIM, also therapeutic. Though fun fact TIM's eyes become normal when he is dying. Hmmm interesting. *Rubs chin*


ME3 Ending: "Hey Shepard! Kaidan! Guess what! Even if you both live you'll be separated by who knows how many light years never to see one another again! Its that grand!!"
Kaidan & Shepard: *Biotic death!!!!!*

[ADLegend21]

yeah TIM's eyes gonig normal give the indictrination theory some weight. I also thnk Shepard isn't full on indoctrinated until TIM makes her shoot Anderson. since the whole starchild thing doesn't happen until she passes out trying to activate the crucible.

Assuming instead that we got the "Mega-Happy Ending" (Copyright Wayne's World), where the Reapers were destroyed or at least no longer a threat, the Mass Relays remained intact, etc. etc., what would your Shep do afterwards? Stick with the Alliance and be promoted to Admiral-Goddess of all militaries? Try her hand in politics? Gun for hire? Baby factory? Wandering minstrel?

My femshep to become a baby factory? Puh-lease. She enjoys making grown men whimper and cry too much to settle down with Kaidan and begin popping out babies.

Here's a picture of her punching one of the stupid indoctrinated jellyfish's henchmen:


Observe the fear in his eyes and body language. Notice how his knees came together? This is the femshep effect.

What's next for femshep? Getting into more trouble with her squad perhaps. Of course, for the betterment of the Reaper-free galaxy... being a paragon and all. And she probably looks forward to living on solid ground for once!

hey all, i want to know, in an alternate universe, with the reapers destroyed, Mass Relays working, and the Normandy still around and all species on their home worlds, if Shepard was offered a choice between being a Spectre and becoming an Admiral what would you choose for her?

And if fem!Shepard could play cupid for any two squadmates throughout the series, who would they be?

For UJ, neither.  She's done w/ it. She'd like to see Garrus match up w/ someone, not sure who though. 

For Erica, she would welcome becoming an Admiral. She'd like to see Steve and Vega match up if only for the LOL.

cupid? she's shipping joker with edi, going to be alarmed at garrus/tali but wish them well while also being creeped out since they're so much like a brother and a sister, introducing the crazy asari barista (original character) to traynor, gabby with adams (she's too good for ken, he never notices her), chakwas with mess sergeant gardiner (where did that guy go, anyhow?) and the two gossipy chicks at the normandy war room check point with each other.

GURL NO, ADAMS/CHAKWAS DIE FOR MY SHIP I'LL FIGHT YOU

Also Ken *does* eventually notice Gabby... though it's bugged.  Apparently the conversation where you can convince them to hook up (in the form of one of those "Support ____" ambient conversations) is somehow tied to your approval with Ashley... so this never shows up in a game where Kaidan is the VS.

Saw the video, though, it's great.  Gabby just calls him out on his nonsense, and then later you can walk in on them in the engineering subdeck.

[JamieCOTC]

Shepard: What do you mean Go Directly to Jail? I've been locked up for the past six months. This is so not fair.
Turian General: You still owe me 106,000,000 credits for landing on Park Place, Commander.
Shepard: That's because of all your gaddamned hotels!
Liara: You stole the thimble from me. I don't want to play any more.

At what point in the game can you get Ken and Gabby matched up? I missed that my first time.

I think Act 2...if I'm not mistaken...you can't get them back on the normandy til then...atleast til after Palaven...

Ah haaaaa. That explains why I couldn't get this to show up in my game. I had looked for this scene! (The VS thing.)

I can get Ken and Gabby together?!?  Why did I not know this???

SO many things I need to make sure to do in my next playthrough...  Like talking to my girlfriend's dad, for starters!  (Still kicking myself for missing her the first time...)

Aww...damnit Kaidan. Not that I'd actually nuke you just so that some minor characters hook up 2 games later...at least I probably wouldn't.

Janine says...

"Challenge accepted!"

Janine abhors politicians, so no to that. Being a minstrel may actually send the Reapers running...nah, never mind. She is terrified of being a mother but she does want a family with Garrus, so it's up for debate. A gun for hire, to her, would be a waste of her and Garrus's talents. So, she will possibly stick with the Alliance and continue kicking ass...after a good few months off. Maybe. I can imagine the conversation concerning early retirement between her and Garrus:

Garrus: *quirks eyebrow* Retire from the Alliance? Really?
Janine: Maybe. Why not?
Garrus: You've been fighting your whole life, Shepard.
Janine: Which entitles me to retirement!
Garrus: *chuckles* You'll go crazy in a matter of days.
Janine: ...*purses lips* I'll install a shooting range.
Garrus: Ah yes, targets that don't move...
Janine: ...and combat SIMs.
Garrus: Predictable.
Janine: ...I'll release mercs on our own personal island and hunt them down.
Garrus: Is that what you humans call challenging?
Janine: Alright you bastard, what grand scheme do you have?
Garrus: *turian smirk* Hunt me[/i] down
on your own personal island.
Janine: What?
Garrus: I’ll give you a run for your creds.
Janine: ...
Garrus: And once I let you catch me...
Janine: ...Yes?
Garrus: ...*smirk* I'll drag you back to the Alliance.
Janine: ...Or maybe I'll be too hot and bothered by the turian who sent me on a wild goose chase.
Garrus: A what?
Janine: *sighs* Nevermind, old human saying.
Garrus: Shepard, we both know you would never retire.
Janine: ...I know. I guess...I just want some time alone with nothing to worry about...with you.
Garrus: I'm not going anywhere, Shepard. Never.
Janine: ...*small smile, returns to data pad* Good.

Kate is done as well with military life.  Once the Reapers are defeated she would settle down on an out of the way colony with a certain dark haired major to live out the rest of her life.

As far as playing matchmaker, it would be for her closest friend Garrus, but ME3 already has taken care of that for us.

Did you guys have to do much work to get your FemSheps looking "right" in ME3? I did a little tweaking to the eye position, and the eyeshadow color was WAY off, and sometimes I look at her and think "oh yeah, there's Alice"...

 
I had to adjust Kate’s facecode a bit to get her looking right to me but I never look at her and think “that’s not my Shepard”.   And I love what they did with the pixie cut for ME3, In ME1 / ME2 you saw very few Shepards with it but it's become a lot more popular now.

FF  13-2  ending.. thats a TBC ending , ME 3...they screwed the pooch... badly thats  Reset Button Ending on a massive scale if I have not seen one.   

[Sable Phoenix]

Well I'm back.

Since BioWare doesn't seem to be in any hurry to give us a fix to import our headmorphs, I managed to reconstruct Jessica to my partial satisfaction using the slider settings I'd written down from ME1.  It still required tweaking to get it close, especially for the mouth and jaw, and I never got over the feeling that something wasn't quite right when I was looking at her, but I managed to put it aside enough to play through the game.

I was disappointed at the lack of conversation options (there was only a single instance I can remember where there was actually a middle, neutral right-hand option... seems like they are trying to force everything you do to be Renegade or Paragon).  It felt like I was being railroaded, but nevertheless I was really happy with a lot of the options, many of them fit Jessica's character to a T.

Despite those annoyances, the ride was pretty incredible.  I can't recall a game that was such an emotional rollercoaster the entire way through.  Thessia was devestating, I actually almost cried with Liara over it.  There were moments of exhilaration and utter brilliance (I just dueled a Reaper with orbital strikes and unified the quarians with the geth, I am a golden god!), and an awful lot of horror and sadness (the Ardat-Yakshi monastery, Sanctuary, and more).  The tension between Jessica and Kaiden and its resolution was all I could hope for, the romance between her and Liara was beautiful and touching, the sacrifices of Mordin, Thane and Legion were moving and powerful.

Then I got to the ending, and in ten minutes, the entire ME3 series was rendered empty for me.

Jessica Shepard's story does not end in such an ambiguous, depressing manner.  Not only do I not expect to be playing Mass Effect 3 more than once, but it's so bad that I doubt I'll be able to play the previous two games again, either, knowing the lack of resolution of... well, anything, that awaits.

I completely buy the Indoctrination Theory, as it's the only way the current ending makes any sense within the Mass Effect universe, but the idea that everything after Harbinger's laser occurs inside Jessica's mind is almost worse than if it's literal.  It would mean that Liara, who Jessica brought along with her in the final fight, has been killed by Harbinger (along with every person in Hammer, presumably including the rest of your crew even if they weren't in your personal squad), Jessica herself is half-buried under a pile of concrete, and the Citadel is still closed, leaving the fleet and the Crucible hanging bare-assed in space while the Reapers go merrily on their way obliterating all sapient life in the galaxy.  It's a classic Cruel Twist Ending, and I hate those.  I hate them in non-interactive media, but in interactive storytelling like games it's ten times worse.  For such an outstanding character as my own personal version of Shepard, a woman who stands shoulder to shoulder with Ripley and Sarah Connor and the greatest female heroes of sciene fiction, it's a hundred times worse.  It basically makes the entirety of the Mass Effect trilogy into a Shoot the Shaggy Dog story, in my opinion (or perhaps Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies, since this is an RPG after all... what the hell did we do to ****** off BioWare, our GM?).

I'm just... hurt.  I could barely stomach some things that they did to Shepard in Mass Effect 2... but after 3, I am pretty sure that if I ever play anything labeled Mass Effect again, it'll be the first game only, and I'll treat it as a standalone.

At least Liara and Jessica finally got to tell each other "I love you."  It was a moment of beauty and peace that I'm glad I didn't miss.

Me, too, I just...yeah. Just, yeah.

I'm fully convinced of the indoctrination theory. Totally, completely, full-on. Yes, I know this implies that destroy is the only way out, but the more I think of it, the more I belive it.

The trouble is, I just don't know if they'll pick up Shepard's story or leave her in the rubble. And THAT has me beyond depressed right now. I keep wondering if the point was to end Shep's story so some other hero could rise on the battlefields of london during ME4. IF so, gah. If Shepard's story is truly over, then a piece of my soul will have died. I'm not even kidding or being overly-dramatic. That's simply the truth of it, right there.

Don't mind me. I'm in a bad head-space today.

I'm right there with both of you.  >offers commiserating hugs<

The orginal  child is real yes... like  I said its utter choas when the Reapers start raining down  so its easy for him to get lost in everything... 

The Dreams are just PTSD and  Shepards subconscious...  The Park =  The Galaxy ,  Fire = Destruction,  The Kid  = Hope/Future,   Ghost/Wraiths = All the Dead.  

The Catalyst at the ending looking like the Kid was Bioware absolute lame attempt to be symbolic... The Catalyst should have changed faces from Anderson to TIM to Garrus to  the LI to Legion to Mordin to  Thane to Ashley or Kaiden.

Yes (meaning it's not real), then yeah, I don't believe that the kid is real either. The one playing with the ship might have been real but after that... I dunno. Especially when he climbs to the ship (no one else notices that kid).

I'm completely on board with the indoctrination theory, it's the only way I can make sense of what happened at the end of ME3.
