He said "going back".

Do you really think thats what hes refering to? Loading a previous save. Thats common sense. Theres more to it than that.... I assume.

Another problem.  Apparently no technology works.  Not even FTL.  So...

The turians and quarians, once unable to synthesise dextro-amino foods, will descend upon one another in a bloody campaign of cannibalistic hunger. The now-cured krogan will overrun the planet, provoking violence upon violence until they destroy what is left of Earth's resources in (another) nuclear holocaust.

Thousands of years later, the asari, who had been laying low by shaking their arses in clubs and screwing as many things as possible, reemerge as the keepers of the planet.

Earth becomes Thessia II.

Guys, this is the canon ending right here.

We will then have an all-asari spinoff universe starring Liara, who managed to populate Planet Deliverance singlehandedly and discovered the secret to immortality.

Because she is as smart as she is beautiful.

I see a lack of intelligence there. ME2-3's gameplay far worse than Gears? Really? GTFO please man, seriously GTFO.

ya...you revert back to before the last mission.  Noone has said you dont get to play after the end of the game.  

Thats not what I was told.


well you didnt say you were told anything.  You posted a Q&A from last year that says we get to play the game after we finish it.

What? Half the earth destroyed million if not billions of lives lost, the Galaxy reduced to single worlds all over again - asking for Sheppard to survive with his crew is sunshine and bunnies? Sheppard already died in ME2 - BW gonna pull that crap AGAIN? Now that is really contrived.

"I think the endings that we have in ME3 are
very distinct. We're obviously not going to branch them and tell
different stories. Shepard's journey, which is coming to an end, is
about the conflict with the Reapers, so it's not a situation where
you're fighting a new Krogan Rebellion all of a sudden in the Renegade
path, or something like that. That's not what ME is about. It is about
dealing with the Reapers, and it will be about how you deal with it, but
I think the interesting thing that we've done is reward players.
Players always ask, "What's the best ending? What's the best ending?"
And I always say, "I don't know. How are you playing your
game?" because what we're trying to do is provide endings that reward
you and match your gameplay, as opposed to you saying, "Hey, this is the
best ending." While there's always going to be this galaxy at war,
there is a game involved as well, and you can play it well or you can
play it poorly. And so we wonder about that aspect of it as well. There
may be a thing that's a best in terms of gameplay, but if you're talking
just about my choices and the flavor and the way I want to do it, then
it's really up to you and the way you want to play the game. As an
example in the Paragon and Renegade side, there are degrees of gameplay
within each of those, so you can play it optimally well for either side
and there may be other options, but I'm not talking about them."

So I guess nothing you say on leap day counts right? This almost feels like false advertising, but it also feels like he's confirming our fears, I'm so confused....

Ah, the amount of vitriol on this thread between members is quite astounding. I'm going to need more popcorn.

Seriously though, can we at least pretend to be civil?

I thought those in denial would've learned their lesson by now that it serves nothing but make them more bitter when the awful truth is revealed. We've known about these endings for months now, you need to accept it.

Pretty much what you said, OP.

In short:


BW told us, the endings won't make everybody happy.
Truth is: the endings will make everybody sad.



And that, fellow fans, is the only truth here. Lets shove that down their throat.


No rainbows and puppydog ending?
Count me in for 2 preorders now... I'm in :wub:.  That's it... I'm in for $160 on this one.

I can't wait!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

I just don't understand why people are so happy that other people are deprived of something that means a lot to them.  It's a bit sadistic.  And pretentious.  But I'm glad you're happy.


I'm not happy because you are upset.. I'm happy because it sounds like a good ending.

Stopping a galactic extinction is quite a good ending. I remember how angry people got with FO3.. The idea of trading the life of a virtual character to save humanity was unthinkable... I really didn't get that.. You would think a courageous ending would be good... But apparently the idea of self sacrifice is lost.. If there were an invading army, their would clearly be a boxspring above such people and not a gun in their hand.. Is nothing worth dying for to you? Trading the lives of one crew TO SAVE THE ENTIRE GALAXY is an insult to you?? Do explain, because I'm truly not getting it.  Is courage that lost on you?  I am really and truely asking this..  I'm not attempting to be sarcastic, or sadistic.  I want to know.

People could of disagreed with the ideas way back when people voiced them.  This sounds a lot like what  many people described and asked for..  People agreed with the ideas then.  I didn't hear strong objections then?  Look back at some of the things I posted way back after ME2.. This sounds like what I was talking about and people liked the ideas then.

So it's not rainbows and kittens.. Good.  You trade your life for the galaxy.  Is the galaxy to small?
It's a hero's death.
A HERO'S DEATH!!!

So excuse my :sick: at the outrage.

The problem is that there are other ways out of this situation. The game is demanding that we pretend that there aren't in order to force a variation of "All is lost, nothing you did made any difference" on us.

Am I really the only one here who thinks the game attached to the ending is just a LITTLE more important than those last few minutes of non-interactive cutscene?


Nah. It's just that this is the way Shepard's entire saga ends, so there's ~six years riding on it. The destination's more important than it would be if this game was a standalone.

That's the real reason this is such a big deal to me. Many of us have spent 5-6 years getting attached to these characters, the places and lore. If it were a single game that we spent a week with, it wouldn't hit nearly as hard as this does (the earlier mentions of RDR come to mind here). Essentially, we've been told all these years that these characters, these places are what we're fighting for, this civilization... and now, it's all gone. The Mass Effect universe as we know it ceases to exist. If that is not the very definition of sad, I don't know what is.

Edited to add: If that is indeed not the case, which I very much hope it is not, then I'll be jumping for joy that this was all a big mistake.


I'm with you on this 110%.  When I read the first post on this topic, I had a mini panic-attack.  I'm very much so, emotionally involved in this game, I care alot of the characters and Sheperd, and to think that we've spent all this time with the characters, through ME 1, and 2, and then for everything to be destroyed in the end and have those same characters dumped on some bfe planet, while we will be left with no idea whatsoever concerning their fates.... Just sayin, if that's how it all really ends, and going to have some choice words to send to bioware, and that's putting it mildly.

Son, I have a Mensa level IQ and am in one of the top schools in the nation, so quit your crap about me having a "lack of intelligence." It is, GoW is more organic by far and is much less based on twitchy animation.

I really, really doubt that even if this is the end, that it's the end. People say that the Normandy got shot through a wormhole, right? Well, maybe that's the new interstellar travel in a future Mass Effect game? Because honestly, what the hell? If this is the case, in my game the geth, quarians, rachni, turians, krogans, asari, volus, elcor, hanar, drell, and humans will all be stuck in Sol. It's unrealistic to believe they can all thrive in the same system. Something will have to happen.

Maybe they'll initiate a Farscape project and they'll discover wormholes. Hell, if that ending is a descendant of the Normandy crew, they could just be lost. It's very possible that, because they were shot through a wormhole and crashed, they haven't been found yet.

The sad fact is that any Turians or Quarians trapped in our system without FTL capability (which goes down with the Destroy ending, along with the relays) will eventually starve to death. We don't have a dextro-based ecology. We can't feed them.


I'm going to continue to believe we don't know everything.  Have we heard all the audio files?  There's no way they can just end it with everyone in the system.  People can say everything has been mined, but that doesn't mean everything is out there.  We're missing stuff.  Lots of stuff.  There's little-to-no context to all of this.  I'm not saying we'll get the ending that everyone wants, but I'm also saying we don't have complete context.  There is something that's being left out.  Something we don't know.

I'm still not buying it. There's something we're missing. EVERY OPTION WE HAVE MADE along the way... every choice feeds into "Shepard's life sucks"? I understand not having an "Everybody lived happily ever after with no casualties" ending, but I just don't see how this could possibly be all there is. It flies directly in the face of everything Bioware has said and done in... well, ever. In any of their games, any of their franchises, any of their interviews. They have never shoehorned us like this.

We're missing something.

...So, Liara has a impenetrable plot armour, Edi gets a body and Thane still dies? WTF? Seriously?

Shep may or may not die, the crew are magically teleported to some unknown part of space to die of starvation and we're pretty much boned no matter what we do?

God this is sick ****.

That would explain some behavior on the Normandy... Jack is awfully close to the drive core and the ants comment she makes... someone's been borrowing some eezo;)


Doesn't explain how she still has all her teeth, though.

And I can see it now. The Normandy SR-4...a chevy pick-up with a pair of wings duct taped to it, a Hemi with no exhaust system, one of those shifty-looking cows strapped to the hood and two pairs of Truck Nutz.

Liara dies or gets marooned; either way, that plot armor did nothing.

Guys, really, stop fighting for realism. We killed a Reaper(that needed puppets no less) in the first game, then they suddenly became an unstoppable force. I had sex with an alien that, I'm pretty sure doesn't have parts that fit. Shepard was revived from dead material. It's not that far of a stretch to think the Normandy, Shepard, and its crew can survive this.

Yeah, some one played the game somewhere and some "claim" they saw the vids. BS! If you actually saw the vids YOU would have had them posted on Utube. No vids YOU are full of crap! And don't give me some one - yet no one posting here - somehow has all the answers - BS! Next, leaked script - yeah right - BW lost this scrip and followed it to the letter knowing full well it was on the internet. Yeah, right - have I got one for YOU. BS!
