Agreed, unless they invoke some kind of tim travel or what not, sacrifices will have been made, and you would have lost friends.  I think in the best case senerio Shepard lives and gets to spend the rest of his/her life with the LI, but still will have lost people along the way.


I'm pretty sure that's exactly what people were looking for.


Most people just want some closure. Sacrifices are always made, and they will be honored.
I know that if I could get the ending I want. It would be my femshep going on and having a life with Kaidan, like kids and stuff.

I just hope Bioware can give us some closure, either with a new ending or informing us that this is what were gonna get.

Until then, the SSV Midwest will Hold the Line.

If the game ended right after Anderson and Shepard speak on the Citadel, and Hackett tries to draw Shepard to the console... that would be a "happy" ending, in that Shepard made it through almost everything, and did what was needed: fire the Crucible. That was the hope of our cycle.

The ending would be fine if this Space God Child BS was just outright cut. Forever. Without mercy.

Yes. This. Exactly. Though, it could also use an epilogue...

@warbaby2 / blunznsepp / etc: i have the feeling this kind of calls for an obligatory "let's go and get drunk together." post. but i can't shake the other feeling that tells me that i'll look like a creep again.

I don't think its the fact that all three endings (if you can really call them different) are bleak or depressing. People, myself included expected the different endings to be more like the DA:O endings where what you had done over the course of the game or in this case games would all be taken into account.

Instead its just star-child death to the galaxy with your choice of three colours. It just feels.. so out of place.

Keep holding the line everyone, civil and calm discussions will win.. failing that, a krogan air-drop.

One quick question that keeps nagging me:

While I am not totally commited to wanting a "happy, rainbowy" Ending, how would this ending even be possible?

Even if we would rip the reapers apart and are all "We did it!" would that allow for a perfectly happy ending for the Trilogy? We may have won the final battle, but what about the sacrifices we made to get there? Wouldn't the resulting Reflection of our Shepard (or his/her Squadmates depending on Shepards Survival) in form of an epilogue still end quite bittersweet?

(That's what I thought about the Lord of the Rings Ending too actually. Live goes on and the enemy is vanquished, but the fellowship still dwells on what happend for a long time)


In the situation just prior to the end of the game, there's no real chance of a 100% happy ending, as, let's face it - even if the Mass Relays don't go, the galaxy is still looking at decades of effort to rebuild, especially as at least three major homeworlds got hit and got hit hard. There's a chunk of inferred holocaust, considering that there's just been a galactic war. For example, look how long it took for people to rebuild after WW2.

What people are after, I believe, is some variety of closure, a broad epilogue of what happened to all the characters that didn't die during the game. For some, this would include Shepard & their LI off doing something appropriate. Others would just quite like the option for at least positive ending without removing the three current endings.

so, they can turn us into villains again?xD


Oh, c'mon, we won some support with the last article against us.

Didn't mean to be rude, i just....don't trust them.


Neither do I. Not anymore, anyway. But I dont write it to Kotaku per se, but to the readers.

If Shale were a squad member you just know that she'd accompany you up the beam, squish TIM, ignore the child of the universe and throw a big rock at the reapers.


Not sure what made me think of that but had to say it.

You are all going to have your thunder stolen and victory snatched from your reach, because Bioware planned this all along!.
No way did they pull this craptastic ending without the Indocrination theory being true. No studio could be that dumb.


Well, I do agree that no studio could be that dumb. Is it like everyone at BW was satisfied with this ending? I mean it's not normal at all. It's not normal for us, and I think for them, too. Think about it: they created that very galaxy, have been putting so much hard work in it for 5 freakin' years, and they're like ruining it by themselves in the matter of minutes for no good reason. yeah, one person could do that (assuming it's all his work), but BW is a company with a lot of people, and if someone decides to "destroy everything" like this, anyone else would stand up, because it is their hard work, too.

This. I have stated several times that this is what I thought of when I pictured multible endings.

DA:O showed that Bioware can do this right, so WTF happened here?

What happened to the council and bailey? What about the assests I used to upgrade the defenses, you don't even see any reaper corpses nor alien ones, just piles of humans bodies. Lack of assests showing up in cutscenes/final mission including the geth, rachni, hanar, elcor, arias merc squads, the spectres, and the shadow broker agents.

No idea why people are so upset with picture of Tali's face origins. They picked a beautiful woman and remade it perfectly. This BW done very well at least.

EA must have done some market research in how to increase their fanbase, and so sent out a survey to CoD players, then come back to BW and said "This is what the people want."



Disclaimer: I know this probably didn't happen, probably, it's just what it feels like.

 I'm thinking Shep dies.
If that rumored Single Player DLC is true. I'm betting we'll see another 'mission' like in ME2 where you play as Joker.

Only we'll play as either Hackett, some squadmate, or EDI.
I'm thinking the cutscenes we see are real and that the DLC would expand them.So Shep dies and EDI's like "i can interface with the Crucible and fire it." That then explains why the Normandy left. The cutscene showing it could be them leaving for it.

Now you think whu?

In all most every show where someone dies they show the person taking one last QUICK INHALE. So in the 'Red Choice' Shep could have taken one last breath.

Furthermore, we don't know what all that Proth Beacon did to him back in ME1, it may have activated some latent Psy Ability, the Proths do mention that Humans are pretty advanced. And many species comment on how Humans have come so far in such a short time.

So, back to 'Red Choice'. Shep could have willed the 'Red, Blue, or Green'. And the fact we see him is just his mind "making sense of it". It could be that in Blue and Green he's consciousness is merged with the Reapers either as a co-existence (Green) or a domination (blue). In the 'Red' he may have willed something to go wrong.
And so the 'Red Cutscene' showing him under the rubble is actually him "letting go".


**Now the Normandy could be either returning to the fight after activating the Crucible, which we still don't have much of an idea of what it does. Or they could be on their way there.
Basically, in the end, I don't think there's going to be an option for Shep to live :(

I agree with you on this one.  I would have liked to see it in game, but I have no issues with the picture and how it was presented.
