And, seriously, this is still fiction. If I want depressing stories, I can read the frickin' news.


Pretty much this, life for me is hard enough for the moment.

There should be a choice for a happy ending.


Exactly! I dont mind a playthrough taking twice as long to reach it, i dont mind jumpring through hoops and it being rediculously difficult to reach. I just want a goddam option. Cos atm letting the reapers win is looking like the most attractive ending for my bitter disenchanted mind


I am just surprised, Bioware usually give you an option of being with your LI etc even if you have to do something like the Dark Ritual to achieve it.

The fact that there is none is depressing.

Sure I will have one/two self-sacrifrice endings for different Sheps but for one I want a happyish ending. :mellow:

Well - if they do have tragic endings - there's a few specific forum names that I'd expect would bring high-praise for Bioware. Now to just watch and see if they rear their miserable heads and speak in favor for what they asked for.

Whatever - sometimes stories are tragic... sometimes stories have good endings. They already told you Shepard and the Reapers are never coming back into the story if they make a ME 4 - so what do people care with how they draw a conclusion?


Uh, we care that we've been spending two games developing these characters and their relationships, and want this to be acknowledged appropriately. Most people are attached to their Shepards and their LI and want to see a decent ending for them.



As I and many others have said before, a story about genocide, extinction and galactic war wasn't suppose to be rainbows and sunshine.

Do you really think Liara and Shepard would have the time and energy to raise alot of blue babies after a galactic war that they may or may not lose?

Do you really think you can bring your wife, or girlfriend or husband, or boyfriend into the middle of a war and expect them to not have a chance at not walking away?

Can you really expect an outcome to be anything other than a sacrifice?


This is GALACTIC WAR PEOPLE, World War II millions died, heros died, loved ones died, family died. In the end the war was won but PEOPLE STILL DIED!

The only horrible ending would be if the reapers won, which yeah that may or may not be a possible ending, but if the reapers are gone then the war is won and life can resume, so what if the Hero died or not, he died or didn't die trying to save the trillions of others in the galaxy. I think that would be a far better ending to a story than: "And he killed Harbinger with a lone bullet and defeated the Reaper fleet with a lone ship, moved to the Citadel with his LI, had a bunch of kids and worked for C-Sec".

Well Bob, it's not a glitch. One of the owners of the Space Edition dug through the files, and saw the videos that play during the end. Such videos exist and are centred around one group, but not the other.

Also, I think this needs to get moved to the gameplay forum ASAP due to the alarming number of people posting story info in the NON-SPOILER forum.

I'm all for dark endings. It was starting to look depressing from the first 10 minutes anyway.

I can't say if you are kidding or actually the biggest ass/idiot on the forum.


I suggest you ignore his/hers spoiler if you really like tali and can't image such a thing.

-Well... Looks like Ill be more busy ranting on my blog here than playing the game.

If this is the magnitude of the fall from grace (no pun intended), Bioware will be the fourth  part of the triumvirate of xmas past: Bullfrog, origin and westwood.

Ill buy the game.
Ill make up my own mind.
But after the intro, and the novels the story had better damn well deliver.


Well if this info is true the BSN will erupt in flames and people will rabidly attack Mac Walters. We'll get a lot of LOCKDOWN and END OF LINE, followed a while later by a 'Bioware stands by it's valued employee' statement. Then business will go on as usual as everyone begins to forget the fiasco and anticipates DA3.


I don't think so. DA2 has killed any of my interest for future Dragon Age products and I'm sure that applies to many others. For me the franchise lived and died with the first and only game, which was great and complete. I'm very sceptical and upset about ME3s direction, despite many great improvements over ME2.

The modding community for the whole Dragon Age franchise has almost completely died down after DA2 was released. I have seen other developers disappoint with sequels and forums turning into ghost towns after the flames died down. Bioware is alienating fans with every step. That is never a good business strategy. If you rise up too fast, carried by arrogance and greed, there is a good chance you fall right back to the ground. When so many people get upset, and not just on BSN, then something must be going wrong.


In regards to BioWare, for me it's an issue of trust. DA2 already was a kick in the daddy bags, SWTOR also turned out to be not that good and now ME3 is basically giving loyal costumers the finger. How can I trust any future games from BioWare not to be just another "Up yours!", because the writers think they are deep and edgy to not even give us an option for a happy ending?

Are you kidding me?

People who don't wanna get spoiled should leave BSN immediately, because the next few days are going to be intense.

@senorfuzzylips: What is "acknowledged appropriately"?

I'm simply curious - do you go on dreaming about what Shepard and LI do after the game is over? Is it a form of vicarious living? These are questions - nothing more (people on the Internet are always ready to scream about something).

There's a perfectly good Spoiler forum where we're discussing things...

Hmm. I never thought tragic endings were bad endings. I myself like being emotionally shaken.

I mean, honestly, having only sad endings is imo apt. This is a galactic threat, one of death and destruction. To make an ending all happy and sunflowers would take away from the tone of the threat.

If Bioware have managed to make each ending unique with decent writing, then i'll be happy.


The endings go past tragic to flat out punishing you for playing. And the endings are all pretty much identical, bar flavouring and which species are temporarily still around and in what state.

The Mass Effect universe as we know it is gone for good no matter what though.

Yeah, I didn't think it was as bad until I spoiled myself.

IT'S BAD. The "best" ending isn't even remotely near what you think it'd entail. It's absolutely bitter and crap. That's the best ending. The rest of them are only worse.

Also, that's not even including the fact that if you don't romance Liara or the VS, it adds salt into the wound. 
I'm still buying the game, but only to play through it once and to go on the MP.

Sigh.  I now won't be able to play through the first two games without realizing what happens at the end of 3 now. 

Again, didn't people complian that getting the good ending in ME2 was too easy and too glorified? You had to go out of your way to get people to die in  ME2. Now peopel are complining about the opposite? It's a war with a race that can wipe races away clean by glacing at them, why wouldn't the ending be guresome?

This thread is full of implied spoilers already, anyone with basic reading comprehension can guess why the ending is "dissapointing" and "final" or "if i want tragedy i will read the newspaper".

-I dont mind tragic, bitter sadistic or vile. If its done right. Hell I enjoyed "The Pitt" and found it just aces because there was no good, only crap, and really crap and even those choises had crap prospects if you dared to think the conclusions through to their logical end.

But somehow I get the destinct feeling that we are way... waay beyond The Pitt.

@Total Biscuit: sometimes bad things happen to good people?

It looks like I might be happy with at least one of these endings.

You can join CDR in her padded room, noxpanda. :devil:

And I'm only enjoying this Farbautisonn, because I had fun playing ME 1 and 2. But knowing now how it all ends, I might as well laugh about its bleakness. Nox and CDR are taking care of the screaming and rocking back and forth part.

People want to still make decisions whether they want to buy the game. I for example buy the digital version and still deciding whether preorder, buy later, buy much later or buy never. I want to know how bad it is but not the details.
