We're saying it becasue that's the only choice many of us actually care about -- Shepard & crew alive together in just one ending. JUST ONE!

Well I guess it's canon that Shepard isn't so selfish that he'd put his needs above the rest of of the galaxy's.

Personally I'd accept such an ending (Shepard lives with crew) if it meant screwing over the galaxy and letting trillions die. Keeps with the theme Bioware apparently wants to have.


As would I.

That would be nice, and I'd be happy to see it. But, I'd also settle for 'Shepard dies to push this invasion back, but his/her crew are marooned, some starving (Garrus/Tali), and the rest inbreeding.' not happening.

Heroic death to save not only the Galaxy, but the lives of my crew? I can do this. I would do this. My Shep told Liara after LotSB that her reason for fighting was more personal. I forget the exact option, I think she ended up drawling on about Thane, but it's not just him. It's her entire crew. I might not take this Ultimate Sacrifice on my main playthrough, but definitely the secondary. But letting my Shep die, for my crew to face this? It feels very wrong.

It's the crew's fate that bothers me (and apparently some others in the thread), not Shepard's.

I was so hyped for this game. I still hope to **** that they are not accurate or else this will be one of the biggest disappointments of my life.

There are multiple endings are many, many variables that determine how successful the galaxy is against the Reapers. That, is, choice. Just because Shepard can't live "happily ever after" that doesn't mean the series is now void of choice.

This.

It's kinda weird that they went with a mage/templar thing. Synthetics vs Organics.Seriously Bioware. Come on now. It's getting silly.

Just wait, and buy it on release day if it turns out to be false. If it's true, save yourself the money.

There are several variables yes. Do you want a blue, red, or green ending?

Or dead, whatever. The marooning is just a slap to the face.

I could deal with the inbreeding if it made sense how they got to the Charon relay. According to Xoi, much like the Citadel appearing near Earth, it just happens.

Yeah, but on one of the endings he becomes space-jesus.

No, no, three endings which have the same result are an illusion of choice.

There are issues with the endings that annoy me (Relays always destroyed) that are relevant to what you're saying.

The thing is that's not what people are complaining about nor is it what they refer to when speaking of "lack of choice".

I cannot WAIT for a year or two to pass and we get to hear what really happened. Either from someone who worked there spilling the beans in a tell-all or even just hints from people who don't need to try and prop the game up any more. Remember how in ME2, it was like a year and half before Mac Walters said "What the hell were we thinking" in relation to the suicide mission. He obviously couldn't say that when it was being released, he had to toe the line. So I look forward to a couple years from now when we find out what really happened or what people who worked there thought of the ending.

Really, buddy, you can't think of ONE scenario in which Shepard getting stranded WITH his crew--which is all a lot of people are asking for--isn't a selfish act?  Truthfully, the fact that they are separated feels pretty contrived; it would make far more sense if at least the people he took with him on his final mission stayed with him.  It's disingenuous to claim that to want one shred of positivity for the main characters is "selfish."

Isn't the main point of contention the fate of the crew instead of shepard's?

No, but he is kind of a Mary Sue, and I say that in the kindest way possible.

I know, that's why I never liked him.

Such an ending doesn't have to mean putting crew above the *entire* rest of the universe. Why are people so adamant that it's wrong to ask a game that hinges on "player choice" to allow a choice of ending? Honestly, I'm not saying the tragic self-sacrifice ending should be taken out. That's a great ending. I just want a choice to see an alternative ending. That choice is not given to me. So I don't like it. This game has dropped from buy on pre-order to maybe buy used for ~$10 in a year or two for this reason.

I want what I want. They don't give it to me. I keep my money. That's business.

In Dragon Age's case it was four months after sales dropped that an EA rep came out and said, "We dun goofed." in PR speak.

Oh, yes, absolutely... And that whole scene to me is a rip-off from the ending of Matrix 3, which was banal enough.

What really sucks for me is my wife bought me the CE as a Christmas present. Once I found out about all this, and the "issue" with the Prothean DLC, it made me so turned off that I wanted to cancel my CE pre-order and just pick up a normal copy whereby I would just watch the Prothean DLC material on Youtube. Just to increase the data count of people canceling pre-orders by 1. But if I did that my wife would take it as me returning her gift to me which she thought I'd love, which would kill her.

The only thing I can do is keep it and hold out hope that the guy who said there is a happy ending, no one has just gotten it yet (from a few pages back), is right.

Thanks great people who made all this happen.

Dead on with your analysis - this ending would be downright silly at best and sadastic at worst. I was replaying ME2 to get at best a near perfect ending with pits but now I've lost interest - totally. That's the real issue BW has on its hands. I'll remember YOU BW - never good or nostalgic just bitter at your claim BW to let me have choices. YOU (BW) failed me when it really counted most. And my wallet will NEVER open for you again. That you can take to the bank!.

Trillions probably die anyway without the relays. Unless you pick the one ending merge.

So what happens if this is the case? It's your problem if you don't believe it. I'm just worried you're gonna go homicidal/suicidal if it actually is the case. Seriously.



Yeah, I was just going to the kitchen to get a knife and stab myself to death because I'm raging over some fangirl whine.

I don't give a FVCKING FVCK if you think Bioware destroyed their universe, THEY DIDN'T. They said they were going to finish Shepards story and they just did. They killed him. What an brilliant ending. What did you expect if you were fighting against some ancient menace that has been around for more than 37 millions of years and erradicate the entire galatic civilization or rather, reunite civilization to make them into reapers?. Sunshine and bunnies? Well no, I invite you to watch Twilight, there's going to be a happy ending on those series.



you talk about being tired of the twilight fangirl raging and look at this post. You claim to be an adult , but you show every sign of being an 13 year old. should I put up the posts where you insulted and belittled me , for my opinion?

Grow up mr. adult. We can all have a conversation on the issues , without childish namecalling.....Mr. adult.
