I pre-ordered ME2 & 3 because for as long as I can remember Bioware has made great games I have been gaming since the mid 80's and will never forget the first time I played Baldor's Gate. Bioware had earned my trust to buy their product sight unseen. However, this trust is something that a company earns (from me at least) and maintains with each game. With ME3 Bioware has lost my trust and the pre-order money that comes with it. Too often as consumers we forget what power we have with our wallets and instead rush out to buy the latest fasion/craze/tech for no other reason than the companies marketing the products told us too. If Bioware doesn't fix this ending to your satisfaction then I invite you to join me in not pre-ordering their next game. Maybe even wait a week. I'm not saying don't buy their games, but don't rush out to buy at least the next one. Trust me it will send ripples through not just Bioware, but every developer out there if they know that
pre-orders can't be bought with hype, and they are only as good as their last game.

SSV Cleveland sent a emergency coffee shipment to the UK fleet this afternoon to be substituted for the tea. Was it intercepted, have our supply lines been compromised what is going on. We need a sit rep ASAP.

Well if nothing else, no, you weren't alone with wanting to build her that house. Preferably even get to live in it together for just over a century until extended old age finally kicks in.

I was going to rewatch Firefly, but the way that all ended made me miserable as hell too.  I'm going to play Skyrim and shoot arrows at the faces of all the small boys I can find.  They are all starchild and must die.

i was thinking similar.. Skyrim: Deadly Dragons on Insane, and god mode.. Rape the landscape of thalmer and other hated things..

I chose the synthesis ending. At first I thought it was beautiful and creepy at once. Then it made me sad. Not in a good way, either. I'm actually in tears over the whole thing. The game started by breaking my heart (the little boy), and ended in the same fashion. I don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself to play it again. I don't want a perfect ending. It's just that I've invested so much emotion into this universe and its characters. Seeing absolutely everything going to hell for Shepard and every character on the Normandy. And on top of that, having galactic civilization destroyed. What does it matter that Shepard helped the quarians get their homeworld back when they'll never be able to go there anyway? Unless they were all magically teleported there when the relay exploded (like the Normandy), the largest part of their fleet is stuck in the Sol system. Along with every member of every galactic fleet in the universe.

I'm sorry. This was too much. I loved the focus on emotion in this game. It's one of it's greatest strengths. But this was way too much for me. Who cares that the Reapers are gone when the galaxy that Shepard fought for, and that I cared about, is still destroyed?

It's not quite as bad as it seems. Yes, the relays are destroyed and the fleets stuck in the Sol system, but they still have FTL travel. Also, the Citadel is now orbiting around Earth, so there are plenty of resources there, for the time being. With FTL travel still intact, the fleets should still be able to travel back to their own systems. It will take a long time, and it will be a real pain, but they'll be able to make it. After all, most of the homeworlds of the species aren't all that far from Earth. Palaven, Tuchanka, Thessia, etc. Rannoch is a different story, but I think the Quarians will be able to make it back. It will take a long time, but they should be able to do it. Once they make it back, they can work on improving FTL travel to be faster and more efficient. Eventually, things will be back to normal. Things may ultimately be better, seeing as we no longer have to rely on Reaper tech to travel through the Galaxy.

Just my take on things, anyway.

This is one of my problems, why exactly are the mass relays bad because the reapers made them? They don't have an indoctrination side effect, they only had a beneficial effect of easy galactic travel. Sure the reapers used them to channel galactic development, but if the reapers were dead anyways I fail to see how using them would be in any way bad.

[Geassguy360]

Ok, for those of you saying you missed Harbingers voice... while I felt it wasn't as good as Sovereign's voice or the reaper on Rannoch's, this whole fiasco DOES make me miss it. Wouldn't it be so epic if the Indoctrination theory was true, and upon selecting the bad choice(s), the screen goes black... and then you hear...

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROLL.
Then BAM shepard opens his eyes which are now glowing yellow, and bad ending ensues. Really bad, as in he plugs his 2 squadmates as he walks away from the citadel beam. That would be so effing bold. I'd love it. Then back track and pick the right choice.

*sigh* I can dream...

PS get him away from the TV jersey shore is an indoctrination channel used by the reapers to kill our brain cells.

Oh...that was coffee? We thought it was the stuff used to clean the drive couplings.

Come to think of it I was starting to wonder why the engineering crew (all three of them, this being a Normandy class II Frigate) wasn't letting anyone down there.

Unfortunatly our communications systems were downgraded during the recent 'improvements' to the Navy. So its either Football, Jersey Shore or Britains Got Talent. At this point we'd rather have a Husk on our hands than Smithers headbutting the drive core again.

Hey, I remember some talk a while back, pre-release, about endings getting leaked...where did they go? Were they any better than what we ended up with here?

This is what ending were supposed to be:

Tazzmission wrote...

 proof endings were changed





After
checking these boards, bioware forums, the twitters of various people
involved with the game, audio file rips as well as some information I've
gathered from other sources, I decided to talk with someone who used to
run their own review website who still has ties to some people in the
video game industry. That includes Bioware (they had sent him early
review copies of the first ME). Anyway that's not what's important. The
point is what I'm about to say you can take with a grain of salt if you
want. I'm not here for attention or because I'm a fanboy of bioware. I'm
simply here to help you all make sense of this situation. It will make a
lot of sense and put the little things you've all found together. The
reasoning for the ending change was they needed more time to implement
it (this was supposed to be the reason for the delay) but Kinect
implementation and the desire by some people (perhaps EA) to have an
ending where things are left to interpretation messed with this. The
ending was quickly altered which is why things don't "fit" and there are
plot holes. Anyway, below is how things were supposed to happen.

The
original ending was SUPPOSED to be extremely varied. Everything
remained the same up until the part when Harbinger shoots at you and
your team. This is when information that has appeared here already comes
into play. There were going to be various outcomes determining how you
reached the citadel and it was HOW you got there that determined what
endings would be available to you. The following were the different
scenarios from worst to best (based on EMS and war assets)

A:
Your whole squad gets wiped out (the two crew members you took with you,
Anderson). You struggle to make it to the citadel. Right as you're
about to make it to the beam, Harbinger talks to you, saying you've been
defeated and he kills you. Joker tries to swoop down to save you, but
he also gets shot down.

B: Most of your squad gets wiped out.
Still only you are able to make it to the citadel. Once up there, you
must confront the illusive man alone. Because of this, unless you have
high reputation and either talk him down or renegade interrupt and shoot
him, he kills you and tries to control the reapers, but fails as he
discovers he was indoctrinated. 

C: You and Anderson make it up
to the citadel together and make your way to the control panel where you
confront TIM. The same thing plays out where you can talk him down.
With high enough reputation, you can "save" Anderson but its not
necessary for you to make it to the next part. Anderson dies after TIM
is shot or kills himself like in the ending we got.

D: You and
Anderson make it up to the citadel together while you're two squad
maters, who clearly survive, are holding off the reapers from following
you to the citadel. Everything continues the same here as "C" until
after TIM is shot and killed and the final conversation that Anderson
and Shepard have (which is much longer than what we got). You get the
shorter convo in C.

[The following you only see with outcome "C'
and "D"] Shepard looks out at the war going on and activates the
crucible. Hacketts says its not working. This is when Harbinger talks to
Shepard through TIM as he lies on the ground. Harbinger tries to
convince you that you've fail but you can argue with him. Harbinger says
that he has your crew in his cross hairs. We see the Normandy arrive
(the joker dialogue that was cut) and the rest of your friends help the
two squad members you brought with you face off against Harbinger and
his reaper minions.

message detailYou
basically have a choice. You can submit to him and he claims he will
spare your squad and earth until the next cycle because he is impressed
that you were able to make it this far. This is when the motive of the
reapers is more clearly established. Harbinger reveals that in the
previous cycle, the prothean empire became too vast and they began to
control all the other races, which would have prevented all of our races
from developing. However, through more discussion, Shepard can uncover
their true motives. They fear that they will be rivaled by something
more powerful than they are (that this cycle will create AI that can
topple the reapers). This implies they are merely fearful for their own
survival and that is why they purge all life but they convince
themselves they are protecting us.

Either way, you can submit to
him and save your people or take your chances. Having 4000 EMS, not
submitting to him you would lose everyone, but still eventually get to
the three choices we actually got (more on this in a second). Having
5000+ and depending on how you resolved conflicts between characters and
races, certain people will live or die. 

After rejecting him
(whether you lose everyone or not), you end up in the area where vent
boy was but hes not there. It's just you and "Harbinger". He explains
that a new solution is needed. The solution he tries to convince you to
take is merge (to perseve his kind). But if you have high enough
reputation once again, you can open the control and destroy option.
Harbinger tries to talk you out of it by discussing how your races are
divided and mentioning the geth incident. You convince him otherwise,
and it is at this point, the control option opens next where he admits
that shepard may have a perspective he never considered. Harbinger tells
Shepard that if he destroys them, the relays will be destroyed as will
the geth (which is true. This is the only ending where the relays are
destroyed).

Now for the four endings.

If you submit to him
before the three main choices, the reapers leave earth but end up
wiping out every other race who haven't proved themselves worthy.
Shepard dies.

If you merge, the reapers leave and like the ending
we got, we see all the characters we know with green eyes as a green
light brightens the sky. Shepard dies for the same reasons in the ending
we got.

The control option, the reapers leave. Everyone
cautiously celebrates while joker and your LI look up to the sky and
wonder what exactly happened. Life goes on but its hinted that the
reaper threat may return. This ending ends on a cliffhanger.

The
destroy ending does destroy the relays, but its implied that with all
the races on earth, they, together, will restore what they lost and will
attempt to work together. if shepard lives, your LI leading your squad,
will be looking for you. You are beamed back down to earth (its assumed
shepard was somehow blasted into the beam? this is the only
questionable part). It ends with shepard's hand coming out of the rubble
and breathing. Still a cliffhanger of sorts, but you can assume they
will find him/her obviously.

It was (slightly) better than what we've got..

This is closer to where it should have gone. At least the central theme would of had continuation. Literary license or not, if this was a book, it would never make the best seller list. Heros or heroins don't need to die to impress us with some sort of vague idea the author has concocted.
