I've paid more for happy endings.

I really don't see what you kids are getting so up in arms over. This is a war story. People are going to die. Civilizations are going to be eradicated. Hell, the fate of an entire galaxy is at risk of being vaporized by the Reapers, and you're concerned about trivial things like if we get to live happily ever after? Come on!

This is a war story. I'm sure some of the older people know how real world wars usually end. Do you honestly think with stakes this high that the final outcome will be the species all over the galaxy grabbing hands and praising their good luck that they were able to defeat and Reapers and rebuild without some massive losses? Did you see how World War II ended? Yeah, not one, but two Atom Bombs. A horribly bittersweet ending. If you really want to see a happy ending, go play Final Fantasy. This is war and war is completely ugly even at the best of times.

The Reapers are a crazy powerful race of sentient machines who clearly want to kill anything and everything that breathes, turn us into husks and leave the galaxy in ruins. Did you read about what happened to the Protheans? They were eradicated, transformed into slaves and made to serve against their will. That's an incredibly bittersweet ending to an entire race of people.

Bioware know what they're doing with the story telling. They know how to weave an intricate end to a fantastic journey and Mass Effect 3 won't disappoint. Honestly though, I'm expecting a bittersweet ending where everything is nearly destroyed and humanity, along with every other race has to fight to recover. The Reapers won't be going down quietly, cause if they did; I would be screaming at Bioware for making such a menace seem utterly weak and trivial.

Like I said previously, I'm expecting a terrible end to the war. Hell, I'm actually hoping all the efforts show the pain and malice of defeating such a force. Sure, a story arch where you save the galaxy from the Reapers and we all live happily ever after would be nice, but it's not realistic and Mass Effect has a far more realistic Sci-Fi story than most games in the genre these days.

On a side note to people who are overly butt hurt and not buying the game anymore because you're not getting your fairytale ending... grow up! Read up on some real world wars and then you'll understand why Bioware may have just written the ending off this way. Better yet, look up how World War II ended and then multiply that by a scale of about a billion times the destruction and heart ache.

It'd be nice having your LI not marooned to some random planet, never to be heard from again.

How could you know?

If you hear about it, then clearly someone else could get there. Like, say, any of the countless FTL ships that still remain in the ME universe.

...You do realize that FTL drives are a very slow method (that requires a great deal of fuel that would not be easily found post-Reapers) of traversing the galaxy, yes? I mean...you do understand the scale of the galaxy.  Right?

Hydrogen fuel depots are commonplace in the galaxy, from planets that are quite common. One of the lore aspects of the ME universe is that it's actually to do the fuel harvesting and processing in each system, rather than ship it to other ones. FTL fuel is pretty widespread in the ME universe.

Nor is 'slow' FTL in the ME universe a snail's pace across the galactic map. Flying across a sector is a matter of days, not years. Flying across the galaxy might be a course of years... but that's (1) surpassable, and (2) temporary until people reverse engineer the Reaper's thrusters, or build new Mass Relays.


Will distance be a bigger issue? Sure. Instead of being down the street, FTL is equivalent to driving to the next state/country over. It's a much larger commitment, but it's a commitment that's already routine in a number of aspects of the ME universe.

And that's not even touching on the whole "marooned on an unknown, presumably uncharted planet without any means of making contact with someone who might happen nearby...which is statistically unlikely."

You know what was also statistically unlikely? Shepard surviving. Or beating the Reapers. Or being born. Or-

You know, the other countless adversities that were actively trying to kill them, rather than one that could be explained with a 'let's see what crashed on this planet.'

No one has been saying Shepard is marooned forever except the people who claim to be most opposed to it.

So in the merge ending... do the old man and kid have glowing eyes? Or is that just done for dramatic effect in the crash cutscene?

[TheSwex]

Don't get me wrong. I'm still as excited as hell to open my N7 Collector's Edition. And I'm still excited to play. Even if the endings are gonna be lousy, I'll do my best to enjoy the game as a whole.

Then after that, Bethesda is my new #1 developer.

In the merge Vega squats - and when he stands - a baby toaster is on the ground.

Its beautiful and really touching.

I guess they weren't kidding when they said this is the end of Shepard's story. They meant that literally.

See ending sheps story is not a bad thing to me, i was looking forward to a Post reaper invasion - galaxy in chaos, most governments collapsed, regional goveners and warlords, etc. where I could have started out as a nobody quarian and ended up the captain of a small cargo hauler travelling relays from system to system finding adventure and aquiring new crewmembers/friends, etc.

[Blargmaster]

Are there any leaked videos or pics for the endings?

Kid? He looks like scaled down adult, I couldn't stop laughing at it.

As none of the Cerberus crew was carried over, I object to these unfounded accusations!

Who says it was necessarily one of the Cerberus crew?

Dr. Chakwas always struck me as the type to be into some seriously kinky, whacked out stuff. And she is awfully fond of Joker...

And, let's be brutally honest, I know I'm going to ruffle some fans' feathers but Tali was pretty clear when she said she'd never engaged in "that kind" of contact with another humanoid...

Oh lawd! You gonna get it now!

Who's still hoping this is an elaborate prank by Bioware?
They could be doing these kind of things:

Probably not but oh well eh? Guess I'll just enjoy the final battle rather than the ending.

I'm tired of "it's war"... BS

1) It's a video game if I wanted to be in a real war I'd join the army.
2) The first 2 endings didn't make you end it on a depressingly sad note.
3) Lol Is that what you think of other RPGs only Final Fantasy?
4) You're saying: I don't care I get what I want. You are all children for not agreeing.

I was tempted to say something to this effect myself, but for some reason I was reluctant to bring it up; possibly because I was once assigned a book on what the surviving victims of the nuclear bombs went through and found myself profoundly affected by it. (I had to consciously shut off my memories of that book before I could get into and actually have fun with Fallout 3, if that's any indicator.)

War is bloody, tragic, dirty business, and in the real world the ending is usually just as bloody, tragic, and dirty as everything that came before. And the bigger the war, the longer and harder the climb back to pre-war conditions. For this reason the part where the foundation of galactic civilization is shut off works just fine in my book. As for what happens to Shepard and the Normandy crew, I'm inclined to wait until after I've seen the endings first-hand before judging. That's the only bit I can see myself potentially being dissatisfied with--that and overall presentation.

[Pr3ying M4nt15 360]

I just don't get where the ending is for people who completed everything. With those being the only endings, what incentive does the player have to go back and try for a better ending, to go and do all the sidequests when ultimately you can't save anyone you cared about? When all your choices amount to a slight variation on the same doom. All it feels like, is a direct insult.

I want to be satisfied but I can't see how breaking my heart at the end of my favourite game series and giving me no option to change the outcome is satisfying.

This thread just goes to show me that most of BSN has no taste because the endings sound freaking awesome to me, but of course I liked DA2 (even though it was about as rushed as KOTOR2) So what do I know. I'll almost certainly enjoy it so frankly what do I care what you people think.

And do you, frankly, believe anyone cares what you think? 

No, no I do not.

Not to nitpick on one part of your agonizingly long post, but Final Fantasy is not known for its happy endings.  FFX, FFVII, and FFVI had amazing, beautiful, bittersweet endings that fit very well with the theme of the games.  The more recent ones, not so much, maybe, but Final Fantasy is a bad example.

Yeah, at least in Mass Effect 2 if you or your squadmates died it was because you screwed up and made the wrong decisions/didn't prepare.
