This might be going on: The people who played it saved their game, and went into the final battle with whatever preparation they had. Then, they kept loading THE SAME SAVEGAME, to see how other options would go.

No wonder we only get variations on the same sort of ending.


That is what I had imagined. It hardly  proves all endings are the same ****. Replayability means doing a new playthrough from start with different decisions and different outcomes. It they all ended the same, there would be no replayability in ME3, or just as much as DA2 which is very low.

So, if anyone has links for in-game cutscenes footage other than mute Binks which only play the sound when in game, not when playing the file directly, feel free to PM me.

$50 for a DLC where you force her out the airlock and watch her die.

Even if loading the same end-game file for all three endings prevents all of the variety from showing, it's more likely that we have a small number of major endings with minor variations than the other way around. That's how it's always been, and with good reason: it's simply easier to make that way.

It's funny...

Seeing threads dedicated to every character. Some thousands of pages long. It shows how much Bioware, as a company lost touch with the game and the fanbase they created. A reaction like this should have been expected. Killing/stranding the cast with no alternative with players so dedicated to the characters they created was a poor move all around.


maybe it will teach the community not to OBSESS over the characters in an unhealthy manner, especially the Talimancers.


Bioware created the monsters. Their own writers "squee" over their creations.

A better point has not been raised this whole thread.


The videos have been mined.  There are no other endings.

That's dust-form eezo, being accidentally, or "accidentally" as the case may be, leaked from storage containers. Eezo drives will likely be for the most part intact, and I doubt the eezo inside of them is dust-form.

My point, I suppose, is that we're not looking at some kind of mass-extinction-level eezo leak or anything. Maybe a few localized leaks that may or may not actually expose pregnant mothers to the element.


Well, that's the thing. Lots of cracked containment vessels, drive cores, especially in low and destabilizing orbits that'll burn up in re-entry and disperse atomized eezo into the upper atmosphere. Plus the stuff on the surface that'll get spread out and integrated into the biosphere. That's pretty much going to be a global phenomenon by the end of it. I'm not suggesting the fallout will be an extinction-level event but on the other hand incidental eezo exposure is pretty much a given for at least a generation or two, and that's going to be a lot of stillbirths and problem births.

On top of Earth's brand spanking new dramatically reduced population (hey, at least the severe overpopulation problem drum-beat by the codecies of the first two games won't be) thanks to Reaping, you're looking at best-case scenario at least a generation or two marked by pretty harsh repopulation schema.

Hey GTFO guy, you have a friend!


No you can keep him, you seem just as crazy as that guy.


Cute, I adore it when people who are obviously trying to hide the truth from themselves attack others.

Also, I'd like to know how I'm crazy. Please.


"Hide truth" Hahahah, you have no clear proof, you just have hearsay about people getting something out of datamining/playing. Only reason you believe these is because they have few scenes to show, that don't really reveal anything or point to anything. You're insane, if you are unable to question something that lacks proof. :D

You're just sad, I am sorry, but really. Who were you trying to sway over with those "leak videos"? Just so sad..

Exactly. The endings are basically the same! Your crew are apparently, "stranded" (being only like about 50 k's from Earth) and the Reapers are always killed.

IDEK.

Really, I feel like the sources are legitimate. The only thing we can hope for is that they decide to make an addition through DLC which yes, unfortunately I would pay for.

It would be easy enough to write it in, and it would still have a bittersweet element to it.

Shepard walks away from the final decision. For once in his/her life, Shepard lets the chips fall where they may.

The Catalyst stops meddling in organic affairs, the Reapers return to dark space, and everybody else goes home. If the singularity is inevitable, give us the option to let it happen. It will eventually mean the total destruction of civilization (which we will eventually get via singularity with the Destroy ending anyway), and Shepard knows it. This, combined with the devastation already wrought by the Reapers, delivers the bittersweet element. Everyone alive now lives out their lives; society (maybe) destroys itself a few tens of thousands of years down the line via singularity, and only then do the Reapers return to re-seed the galaxy with life, inverting their former purpose. What we get is a different kind of cycle, one that doesn't necessarily have to end with the extinction of organic life. Whether it does or not  is up to us (organics). The responsibility falls on us to make that decision. We shouldn't be "protected" from the consequences of our own actions.

Beats the hell out of some magical green energy wave that spontaneously converts everyone in the galaxy into husks, if you ask me.


This, this so much :(
Please apply to lead writer instead of certain someone, pweez?

Calling me sad, classy, yvonnebeach.gif.

Sure, I'm willing to admit there's a possibility that the videos aren't true. But you are the one with no evidence, not me. And thus you come out sounding like an insane person, claiming 30 minutes of video is "5 second videos."

You are unable to admit that it's possible that we are right, and we *do* have proof. You are the sad, insane one here.

And yet the part that has most of the people here in hysterics (Normandy stranded in every ending), you say is rendered in-game.  Isn't it then logical that there are other ending sequences that are rendered in-game?

Seriously, do you have any self-awareness at all?

I thought you needed 5,000 - 10,000 war assets to get a decent ending?

@unit-alpha: you're very invested in getting ppl to cancel their pre-orders. Is this another crusade? There's been alot of crusades lately.

Mined Bink videos end up taking them out of any game context since the videos that would matter anything are the ingame cutscenes which lead to the Binks. Reloading a save past major decisions are made do not change the endings. Just play to the small variations instead.

Because the stranded scene depends on the choices made in game. Who/how appears out of the hatch etc. It's not a cinematic but ingame.

It's possible that there are other ways that bit can play out, but it's also true that ME hasn't done majorly different base endings since its inception. So in a case of what we've been taught to expect thus far, the ending leak sounds very likely to be true

Stubbornly refusing to believe it without absolute proof isn't much better than taking it at face value without thinking about it. Then again, that statement applies to almost anything.
