I'll be damned if that little Specialist didn't grow on me over ME3. I had some affection for Kelly Chambers, but Traynor blows her outta the water by the end. She just had this puppy dog earnestness, plus she was brilliant.

I wasn't trying to say it's wrong or whatever, but I just don't get it.
I think it's probably because I'm totally sold on Joker/EDI.  It's like they were made for each other, at least for my ME mental-verse.
No disrespect to those who do ship EDI and Sam.

I think I've stumbled across a few of those fics too. It makes more sense to me for Traynor and Allers to hook up, since about a third of the time you wander into Allers' room, her and Traynor are chatting over the intercom. When I finally get my FemShep to ME3, Thane be damned. Traynor is the way she'll go :)

Anyone else not complete the EC yet? Otherwise, I'm all for blowing this thread up with new Sam posts.

My normal ending is Destroy, but I played through all four of the endings.  Yes, even the big "f*ck you" from Bioware that is the new fourth ending.
I absolutely HATE that they didn't call Alix Wilton Regan back in for more VA work.  HATED IT.


These are from the synthesis ending.  I'll be posting more later.

I love that we get to see her on the bridge with Joker and a random squad mate.

I'm not much of a fan of the whole circuitboard skin thing, though.

I loved EDI's narration of the synthesis ending, however.  It's complete nonsense, but Tricia Helfer did a great job.  Also, Sam's eyes look really cool in this pic.

This was from my renegade "everyone died in ME2" play through.  Hence all the names.

I had 30 save files and ended up using the one where garrus and tali were dead

the endings

control-5/10
It feels weird seeing reapers working alongside everyone with rebuilding. I like how they did femsheps voice
Seeing sam put up the nameplate was heartbreaking. I would of cried if they showed her with a tear/s

synthesis-0/10
I would of felt better wiping my butt with sandpaper than having this ending. This ending is for a higher power to decide. A higher power/being then even the catayst can comprehend. Its retarded everyone walking around like its St. Patricks Day. It takes away diversity and your still working side by side with the bloody reapers.I like to say am sorry to sam,that this will be the first and last time I will pick this crap.Looking at sam with the green just didn't fit well. I did like the hug she got from edi.

destroy-10/10Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image
This is the goal that is set upon us to kill the reapers. The geth and edi die. No big loss.Just a bunch of wires and metal framwork that talk. And from what is indicated, everything can be rebuilt.This is for you sam
'Good for you sam,you held your head high,you refused to put up the nameplate,you smiled knowing that your Lisa is still around. Now go get your Lisa,she loves you,she needs you more then ever,she needs a hug and a shoulder to cry on.'

refusal-7/10
It was nice to see that femshep could say no to casper. To bad you couldn't of win conventionally if ems is high enough(I believe they could have). Even so, there would of been more losses then if the geth and edi were the only losses

With the ec I did start playthrough #31 knowing I can see sam smileand that is worth alot

As on other threads people like to see a reunion. It would be nice,just so a picture of sam and femshep in the medbay playing chess or having a hug would be cool.

A romance dlc would be nice. It can give you the opportunity of buying that 6000 credit toothbrush for sam and maybe get a scene with sam and lise on the citadel. Even better, have a mission withy sam and lisa looking for sams parents

Any other dlc that add anymore dialogue or scenes between sam and lisa I would get

One last note. I had ashley and james with me running to the beam. As I helped put ashley on the normandy, I was hoping that femshep would say "tell sam I love her". That would of been really nice.

Final note I believe there will be a me4(hopefully with shepard and all other characters) just so I can see more of femshep and sam

This.  So much this.  I figured Sam wouldn't have any new lines after my first EC playthrough (I romanced Ashley), since the new LI dialog takes place on the Normandy ramp.  

It'd be terribly wishful thinking and impractical to expect Sam running down to the ramp to say goodbye to Shepard as she brings her two injured squadmates in, considering there's a battle raging on outside.  (Then again.....Harby was AFK during the Normandy extraction scene.  It probably needed to go pee.)

I too appreciate seeing Sam on the bridge.  I will say one thing:  this probably would have made the ideal scene for new Sam dialog.  She could have played the counterpoint to the squadmate who tells Joker to leave.  Just a few lines, begging the Normandy to stay for "just a few more minutes".  I would have been content with that.

Alternatively, I could roll with that option.  Or, even better: allow Shepard to open a com channel with Sam and tell her directiy.  That'd give Sam new lines to have in reply.

Synthesis is definitely the worst ending, seemed a bit too perfect. EDI's epilogue was nice as was the hug (extra reason to ship EDI and Traynor). I didn't think Traynor's synthesis eyes suited her at all, another reason not to take that ending. But the main reason is the creepy husks will be going around helping people. I mean having a few pints with Marauder Shields is one thing, he's cool, but the other husks are gross. 

Control was kind of cool. No one messes with Reaper Shep. I don't really have a Shepard I could imagine taking that ending though.

Destroy makes perfect sense for Cassandra Shepard since the geth already got wiped out when Shepard sided with the quarians (I had enough reputation but Cassandra didn't trust the geth anyway so let them die). So that just leaves EDI which is an acceptable loss. Shep surviving at the end of destroy obviously makes it an attractive choice, though it does make me wonder how badly damaged her cybernetic implants were, hopefully Miranda is on hand to make repairs. Also wondering how long it will take for the relays to be repaired so Shep can get back to the Normandy.

So glad they added a refuse ending. It was so much fun telling that stupid kid where he could go shove his crappy endings. Shepard's speech about being free was awesome. Glad to see Liara's time capsule was a success, I have no clue why they didn't use that before the EC, why mention the time capsule if they weren't going to use it for one possible ending? I wish we'd got to see more of Shep and everyone getting pwned by the Reapers though, going out in a blaze of glory. This was the first ending I tried when I had a go of the EC. Then I thought I'd try destroy but decided to shoot the stupid kid a few times just for the lulz but then he was all "so be it!" and I thought oops I've doomed the galaxy again.

Everyday I wake up thinking it'll be okay
'Cause you promised me that, you'd come back some day
My heart is throbbing but I will wait
And I'll strive... to stay strong

I was displeased (to say the very least) with the whole evac while running to the beam. Utter crock of sh!te, imo. Made zero sense. Let's try to plug up one plot hole by making new ones, eh?

I'd like to poo on the evac scene for being ridiculous but damned if it wasn't brilliant. Its so emotional and the voice acting is fab. Better if Shep's LI is with her, but its still sad even if its just a friend. I tend to take squadmates I like on missions (or is it that I get to like the squadmates I take out? hmm) squadmates that are loyal friends to Shepard so it never sat right with me that they'd just up and leave Shep with no explanation. Yes they've replaced one plot hole with another but I'd prefer the Harbinger is an idiot plot hole to the my friends don't really love me plot hole.

the evac seen could've been done two ways
1) harby fires on normandy as it approaches killing everyone onboard with low ems
2) with high ems shepard tells squadmates to hide behind mako and squadmate radios for shuttle or normandy when harby flies away

Are husks going to regain their former memories and personalities? It would be part tragic, part hilarious.

Honestly, this is the biggest reason that Bioware is getting away with the new extended endings, simply because of the whole LI thing.  Of course, if you romanced anyone from ME2 (Jack, Miranda, Thane, etc.) or Sam or Cortez, then you're pretty well hosed because you don't get to have that sort of closure.  Well, Thane's dead and Jacob's a huge bag of d!cks, so those two don't really fit into this part of the discussion, imo.

I will say I'm totally in agreement with you about the LI farewell.  They were all incredibly well done and the voice acting was superb, as we've come to expect.  It's really a toss up between Garrus and Tali as to which one I like the best.  I just wish that Sam (and by extension, Cortez) had been given some time or a nod or something here.


Sarcastic Tasha wrote...

As for this, I honestly don't know.  I'm leaning towards no, and here's why:
In ME2, when Mordin is discussing how the Collectors used to be Protheans and what's been done to them, he talks about how all of their systems have been replaced by technology.  I'm guessing this is what happened to the husks and other Reaper-fied things.  I don't think they'll regain anything they had previously.

Is it wrong of me that I'm imagining something similar to the end of Shaun of the Dead here? 
ALL NEW ON THE EXTRANET!  Watch your favorite Reaper troops compete for prizes!  Husk Hockey!  Bowling for Brutes!  Cannibal Curling!  Banshee Basketball!
And, of course, they'd have to have several episodes of whatever Jerry Springer type thing to talk about how this woman is still sleeping with her husk husband...

Cannibals are Batarians with humans fused to them for arms, I bet that's going to suck...

"Paul?"
"Yeah?"
"I got an itch"
"You're my arm"
"Fine..."

Not to mention all the 'right hand' jokes they'll suffer.

Husk, Banshee, Brutes , Cannibals are just like them... they would have there memores of their former lives but most like take new names.
