So we can't get the ending we want after all?

Liara's father had the right idea. To bad no one else thought so.

The prothean did creat a prototype of mass relay, we use in in ME1.
Not saying or sugesting anything though.

Because choice isn't about satisfying fans, it's about choosing moral stuff and crud. Or something.

Regardless, choice doesn't exist to satisfy some fourth-wall fanbase. The only question worth asking is whether all of your choices along the way factor into things in some satisfactory manner. Are there enough little alterations to the major endings to make it all worthwhile?

The ending, if it's not a happy one, is BioWare's choice. And I fully support their decision to not go with fan service this time around, if true.

Happy endings might be something we all want to see, but it's not always best for the story. If you give the series a perfect ending, all the other ones become meaningless, failures.


In a game about choice, no they don't.
I really have no problem with these endings but seriously why not give other ones that statisfy as many fans as possible other than to ****** them off or make a me4 with shepard despite their claims.
It's supposed to be shepards last adventure so give fans ultimate closure.


Not everyone might be pissed. Sad endings usually aren't things people request for stories they like... but sometimes they're just better than happier ones.

I don't see how choice has anything to do with this. People always go for the perfect ending if they can. Even David Gaider said so a couple of times here, though it doesn't need repeating. People are suckers for happy endings, but it's not just about satisfying the fans, it's about satisfying the plot... giving the most fitting ending you think the plot needs, and sometimes that doesn't always lead to happiness. Ugh...

The OP speaks the truth. Frankly if I found out that Bioware was making a happy ending DLC I would wait until that was released before I bought this game.

If that is true than that is the most ****iest writing I have seen in my life. How hard it is to make more than one god damn ending without just changing one sentence BioWare? DO YOU NOT HAVE THE ****ING RESOURCES TO DO IT? No it's the EA and the release date. Go ... you know what do what you want you don't make RPGs like you used to. You can hardly call them RPG anymore.

Problem is, without Mass Relays that already work, hunting down the eezo required to build more relays, and getting halfway across the galaxy to create new ones, isn't exactly a viable option. We'll wind up resorting to the Lost in Space method: cryogenically freezing our astronauts and shooting them into space via cannon, hoping there's no Dr. Smith on board to smuck things up for us.

Any one else picking up on these great endings(heavy sarcasm)?As popular as the ME universe is I figure the net should be getting ready for a massive meltdown.

Let's think about it from a Reaper point of view.

"ME1: Damn. Our vanguard failed. We must try something else.

ME2: We just killed that guy and he lives again? What gives? Oh, we can kill him again, good! No wait, that's not the canon ending, WTF BioWare ?!

ME3: Finally, this time BW will certainly please us. Destroyed, meh, that's typical.
Join with synthetics?
BE CONTROLLED?! We are the ones ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL here!
Oh, at least that pesky crew of vermin will not make it and annoying Shepard gets screwed anyway.

Hey Harb! When's Reaper Effect coming out again?"

The reapers did it. It may be a slow slow process, but with no reaper invasion incomming, and no mass extiction stifling advancement, whos to say the galaxy wont be opened up again in a few thousand years.

Lets pick up that statement: no one says ALL ending should be satisfying. I enjoy a game that gives me different grey endings as long as there's at least one that's less grey and more white than others.

If the current endings are the only options, we're going to see several dark-grey endings but not a single bright ending. In most cases, Shepard dies and his/her crew will die some time later. In the only ending where Shepard survives, s/he'll be separated from his/her friends and LI forever.

Shepard always pays the ultimate prize in one or another way.

It really doesn't make it better if it's about "moral stuff" ... since BW could have done it without ending Shepard's existence, either by adding MORE endings or by slightly altering current endings. In all cases Shepard's story is over.

This. RPGs aren't all about being a movie director and changing the plot in any way you like. That's the DM's prerogative... and in this case, BioWare's. RPGs are about having control over your own character.

does Gears of War 3 has a happy ending? kind of, because Marcus's still alive and Sera still fu*cked up, Does Halo has happy ending? Yes because Master Chief survives and so does the Earth.

Why did those games had happy ending but Mass Effect 3 didn't?
But the thing is like its been said few time here, this could be someone Torlling, even BW employee, to see our reaction, or some person that likes to make fun of people.
But what we need is conformation, a video or screenshot of the endings, but right now we are just purely speculating and assuming, but on the other hand those endings can be legit and we just got ass reaped but BW and their story writers.

Holy crap. BSN is going to implode next week.

Why would Bioware do this to us? To themselves?

Got tired of the Mass Effect universe perhaps?

But that doesn't make sense... I mean... $$$, right? Why stop it?

Dude it took less than a dozen prothean scientist to make a small relay and shoot them into the citadel. The whole planet earth can do much better than a couple of prothean scientists.

That's a valid complaint (endings being too alike). But I don't think people would complain that much if there'd be only one happy ending with some minor variations (i.e. you standing next to your LI as the camera zooms out).

Oh, FFS... what is this? Less than two weeks before launch and the worst news pop up. Ahh...

6 endings? 1 secret ending in New Game+?

Is the NG+ ending a good one or what. Please don't spoil anything other than if it's nasty or "better than nasty".

Last i've check you don't have any control beyond what they allow you to choose. Maybe in Origins I didn't want to become a Grey Warden and wanted live with the Mad Hermit forever. Oh wait I could not do that. :(
