REAL CANON ENDING:

It opens with Shepard rushing the Citadel, and Zaeed standing in a building near him. Shepard gets Zapped, and Zaeed jumps into action. However, on the way to the laser, he sees 25 pregnant orphans. The orphans look funny, so he wastes no time. They look indoctrinated so he throws 5 grenades to stun them, and quickly steals an alliance tank. He sets the core to explode and jumps out at the last minute. The miniature nuclear explosion is enough to kill the pregnant orphans. However, Zaeed is now getting attacked by a reaper.

He quickly grabs a first contact war veteran, who is also pregnant, has no legs, is blind, and has chapped lips. He throws the veteran to distract the reaper and bolts it. He sees a flower shop, currently housing sick children. He sets the mechanical flowers on a time bomb setting, and runs. The reaper (which strangely looks like an alliance rescue shuttle) lands for the children, but the explosion kills both the children and the reaper.

Zaeed again leaps into action and enters the laser. He finds The illusive man, who threatens Zaeed. Zaeed quickly removes TIM's left ventricle and half of his spleen with a quick blue suns body chop. TIM falls to the ground but Zaeed notices his finger twitch. He theorizes that TIM is a nuclear device, and quickly rides to the top of the citadel. As the kid approaches Zaeed, he gets kicked in the face and falls to the floor. Zaeed Throws TIM's body into the tube, and initiates the destruction of the reapers. However, because of TIM's presence, it goes into overload. Zaeed jumps off of the citadel and grabs onto an evac shuttle carrying Sick, Crippled, Blind, Veteran, Pregnant Orphans. Seeing he needs to lessen the load to increase speed, he kicks out all of the orphans into space. He later returns, and learns he is the only one left alive. That takes him back.

/vg/s take on Mass Effect 3

well at least it made more sence than the original ending.

Oh, the ending of Angel. I was going to mention that. That was almost like a ME3 ending...except we will never know if Angel died in the battle. It's like ending ME3 when we are about to go fight the Reapers. 

Well personally I think that's infinitely better, they went out fighting on their terms. Ambiguity in a good way.

Guys, any news regarding a new statement from Bio?

[Alikan]

Leaving the line for the night.

Stay civil and hold the line!

I think they call that a "Bolivian Army Ending" on TVTropes.

Well I've got an early morning so I'll cede my spot in the line, I'm sure someone will be happy to hold it. Because we must you know, hold the line that is.

Hey, someone should write that up! I can just imagine Jen Hale and Ralph Sabarge voice-acting that scene...

 Came back and the first post I read was about DA...thought I had come to the wrong thread for a second 

So, how is it going, everyone? New funny memes aroumd? (Not even gonna ask anything about Bioware, because I highly doubt they said anything in the past 6hrs)

I was going to ask you about our Japanese counterparts, and how things are going on their end of things.

Well, that's not so bad. I mean, a lot of people on the citadel we spoke to were morons. Admittedly we didn't speak to even a minute percentage of the 13.4 million inhabitants, but as a cross section reference I am pretty sure we can deduce that with the slaughter of the citadel's population, galactic intellect has actually increased.

On the other hand, the fact that Wrex won't get to see his kids, and the Quarians aren't ever going to live on Rannoch. That's just wrong.

I loved the Citadel residents - C-sec especially - and every part about it. I'd idle there for hours just looking at all the cars flying by.. so yeah, I care about all those souls lost. Insulting the population and then throwing your Krogan and Quarian bias out there is just silly, even for this thread.  

It might be bias. But then again my Shepard was getting rather tired with all the inane pettiness he received over the years from the citadel inhabitants. Quite frankly he's got a right to be pissed.

-You flew a known terrorist ship and docked it on the citadel.
-You complain you saw visions and heard voices.
-Your story about the ancient machine race of doom would sound crazy to anyone sane
-You nuked a batarian spiral arm. 
-Every shop was annoying because it's your favorite on the station
-You interject yourself into private conversations at random 
-You apparently died once already

They have every right to treat you the way they do, if not worse. 

But I digress, if you want to hate the residents and belittle their terrible unfair deaths, that's your own business. I hate the Krogan and I hate the Quarians, but I don't make it a point to kill them off or point out how lulz their deaths were because they annoyed me. 

[baronkohinar]

On the other hand, ME3 is ambiguity in a bad way: with the destruction of the relays, all endings either kill everyone in the galaxy or completely ignore the established physics of the universe. Not to mention, blindly agreeing to any of those choices completely goes against Shepard's personality.

One of the perils of being a writer: you sometimes get inspired into thinking up stories that you would...rather not write...

Speaking of TVTropes, here's my take on the degree to which just one little part of the ending has issues. There is nothing wrong with tropes, per se, but when a narrative is just one sequence of tired tropes clumsily strung together, I'd say we have a problem. In this case, the "trope density" is off the charts:

[...stuff happens and...]
Shepard is, for the first time, introduced to a Sufficiently Advanced Alien, an Energy Being who, to take A Form You Are Comfortable With appears as an Adorably Precocious Child. This being, an ancient Artificial Intelligence, explains that he has seen so many Robot Wars across the millenia that, in an attempt to resolve the situation, he developed a Reset Button solution. In doing so, however, he has become a Well-Intentioned Extremist who sees the struggle between organics and synthetics as an Order vs Chaos problem in which his role is to restore order. His solution, creation of the Reapers, required him to Jump Off the Slippery Slope and accept that The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized; the most advanced civilzations will be periodically "processed" by this Horde of Alien Locusts to short-circuit the Robot War cycle.

After explaining I Did What I Had To Do (which may qualify as a bizarre twist on the Hannibal Lecture), the being claims (in a lightning-fast E = MC Hammer moment) that Shepard's presence "changes things," and presents him/her with a set of Final Solution choices. Each of these choices casually demands that Shepard cross his/her own Moral Event Horizon by presenting catastrophic variations on an End of the World As We Know It solution initiated via a Big Red Button Self-Destruct Mechanism.

In an act of Heroic Sacrifice, without a word of questioning, objection, or realization that "I Forgot I Could Change the Rules," Shepard selects an option and ends the trilogy with a Dying Moment of Awesome.

This is one of the best posts I've seen. O.O wow, nice job man. 

Thanks! It's probably even worse than this; this was just a quick run-through to see what my searches would turn up. Pls feel free to refine it.

Well, they're such iconic voices and...I have this unfortunate ability to mentally vocalize just about any noteworthy actor/actress when they fit a specific role...
