Someone confirm this but APPARENTLY its possible to be with your LI/VS at the end... but Liara is always marooned.

True?


No, not really. In order for that to happen you have to break up with them. 

Wow seriously? wtf WHY?!?! 


I don't know... And on every ending you die anway, unless you just die and they slightly hint at you being alive.

Awesome. 

Here you go. 

they must think cutting out 50% of an ending is artistic


HOW IS THAT ENDING NOT LEAVING ME WITH QUESTIONS!?!?!??!

You can headcanon though. Like "Shepard wakes up on Earth and his/her LI/VS runs up to them blah blah blah, years later, they have a kid".


What does headcannon mean?



Rewrite it all in your head and say that's what happened.

Much as I have with the Enterprise finale. "These are the Voyages" never happened.

So, why would you do that? Why change the entire tone of the series in the last game?


Makes perfect sense once you realize the purpose of ME3 is NOT to provide a satisfying conclusion to the characters and story you've come to know, love and personalize over the years - the purpose of ME3 is simply to reset everything for a follow-on MMORPG, Mass Effect 4 or whatever else they hope to produce next.

The .bik will not show you getting up, since that would need to be rendered with your actual appearance.

You know, thinking about this, its quite easily fixed with just a different ending movie. FTL is not destroyed and Shepard can live. All they would need is one movie, showing a rescue and a reunion, and all would be well for 90% of those upset here.

I have just had this thought which almost crashed my hopes.
In the supposedly leaked script which seems legit, Garrus is defenitely in the position of command (he even salutes you), and so, I think, is Tali (with turian and quarian forces if they survived, respectively). So may it be that you are forced to leave them with, eh, main force?
I am not ready to believe BW pulling the colony crap with too loved characters obviously starving to death, but like that... who knows.

The Day One patch will probably only fix bugs, but the day one dlc could add an ending.


Unlikely.

But conceivable.

And it would be a logical response to the space editions and the leaks that they had to know would come from it.

it is very common, lots of good business men have the mantra of 'under promise, over deliver' this would be a cleverly planned and pulled off campaign to make themselves look great....all they would have had to do is keep that extra ending under wraps (hmm....activating it/completing it with the day 1 patch.....)



Exactly!! Keep what really happened under wraps. They expected a RageQuake and that' is what is happening. People are reacting, they are talking,  they don't know what to think., emotions are everywhere.

I can imagine how pissed off people would be if the spoilers were different and it had some epic and positve outcomes. They'd be mad that they didn't get to experince it themsleves, and see these epic conclusion on their own time. I would be. it would be all i would think about knowing that this epic outcome wasn't so epic since it got spoiled.

Also that day1 patch nonsense is another factor. You need a patch immediately when the game comes out... yeah that isn't suspicious at all. What needed to be fixed? Is it agme breaking, or corrupting? Or is it an "unlock the full game" type of thing...  I swear if Bioware is indeed hiding the true endings, they will be gods. Seriously.. all this drama was for nothing and it worked.

Or say those leaked endings are true, but, there are also 3 more with the opposite outcome (Reapers still die though) and only the ones we have seen are the ones they wanted us to see.
because that would get the biggest reaction. .. It's brilliant. Very messed up and sick, and disturbing and just all around sadistic, but brilliant.

Could you even imgaine if people get the game and those endings don't even occur for them?


The patch is for broken flashbacks and some MP issues, I expect.


Another long post.

True, very true that could very well be it, but why not give the patch to those who already have the game. Since they posted game ending spoilers anyway. All they would tell us is if the flashback issue was resolved. Waiting at this point to release a patch day one makes no sense. Well it does for us who don't have it, but they can still give it to the SPACE:ED people. What else is there to spoil?:

Oh btw the patch is 265mb.

I am a realist here and part of me does expect the endings to fit what we were told, but another part of me feels this is that this is just strange happenings. I expected endings that fit, but in a way of : these are the decsions I made and here is what will happen because of it.

I expect losses to be heavy and I even expect to lose some friends I care about along the way. Not  everyone comes out of this thing the same or even alive. But if I made the righ choices and decided that the only way to win was to get as many people/ other races on my side without pissing on anyone then the ending should reflect that.

I could see my ending like this: Instead of destroying the Reapers I send their sorry arses back into dark space (which seemed like the only option based on the speech at the end of ME1) and then the relays could be destroyed so they have no way of coming back. Sure it sets the entire galaxy back, and alot of people will be pissed at Shepard because of it, but that is what had to be done, and deep down they know that.


Then everyone comes together  to bury their dead, and clean up the devasting mess that Reapers left. That's how it ends just trying to recover from it all. No celebrations no heroic thank you Shepard speeches or anything like that.. Just peolple realizing that it took all of them to get through this and they couldn't of done it in a better way.

Then have an ending shot of all those who helped Shepard in his fight against the Reapers, dead & alive so I could see what was lost, but also what I gained from the sacrifices of the many who fought to the end.


I know I'm leaving stuff out, but that's one of the many ways I could see it ending. It wouldn't suit everyones tastes, but that is how it should be evryone likes somethign diffrent.

Oh, I don't believe it happens - although someone could make one with the default appearances and we could just substitute it in. ^_^

With all the bad PR they are getting from these leaks, it's nothing but absolutely stupid to not comment on it, if they are false.

Reason they aren't, is to prevent pre-order cancellations.

Common sense is aweeeeesome.


They're already filled to the brim in pre-orders, and tons more people have been trying to do so, so I doubt they'd lose much in that direction; there are plenty of people who don't know about the leaks - as far as the endings anyway, after all.


The 360 CE is selling for $100 - $160 on ebay due to being sold out.  Demand > supply.


Hence why I said "filled to the brim"? People cancelling pre-orders opens up room for those who want to but can't.

EDIT: Seriously, if I had those I'd be selling them too.

Yep, people will be going around to every store looking for unclaimed CE's..
Holding on to them and then selling them later can net an even bigger profit..

I don't think this one will sell for $1,750.. but I could be wrong.

Well, these guys know what they're doing. People are desperate, especially after that Prothean squadmate was revealed in the script leak.

Don't dare, don't you know? Bioware hates its fans and constantly does things to tick off old fans and try and get new fans. DAII showed us the future of Bioware under EA.

Im not sure it would happen...they would have to go through the whole game and make sure certain choices you select make the ending happen...which is quite hard to do since they finished it...well in my eyes anyway..i may be wrong

Actually, if the leaks are true, there is supposed to be one ending where Shepard lives. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, Sashimi and Whatever.

Well if you're going to start headcanoning, why stop there? Go for the gold.

Destroy Sheploo, surviving the Reaper threat, finally ditches all the lies, subterfuge, auspices and unites with the singular love of his life to live in peace and happiness...Wrex.

Control Shep doesn't just make the Reapers retreat into dark space. They stage a hostile takeover of the publisher of Fornax and makes a crapload of money introducing the true final frontier in interspecies erotica -- husk porn. Shep also leverages that capital to start producing asari/Reaper porn games for Shin Akiba and Indoctrines that stupid reporter to conclude every broadcast by punching herself in the face.

TL;DR: They said they didn't have to do this. If they don't have an ace up their sleeve, then they either lied to us or they over-hyped what was possible to do and probably don't feel that great about it anyway.


Yesterday a thread started up to compile all of the promises and hype they made about ME3 and its endings, then it was promptly closed without explanation once they discovered it.

Yeah, Shepard lives in one ending. And the crew survives in several. It's the perception that they are separated, possibly thinking each other dead, with the crew marooned is what has many people upset.

The final movie somewhat appears to be on the same planet as the marooned Normandy (same moons) so people are extrapolating that the Normandy crew colonized the planet (this is a little disputed) - which causes more uproar since we see several problems with that idea.

But replace that ending movie with a new one and bam! problem solved. Heck, it wouldn't even need voice.

Of course, there may be rendered scenes in the game which make it better already - but no one has mentioned anything like that.

The script was legit, but they said they'd changed portions of the things happening in it. I think folks just don't realize how serious war is when you're already dealing with a force this omnipotent. I think the ending, as far as we know about it from the available data, is perfectly realistic, and to be honest, I'm tired of the hollywood style endings where everybody lives and conquers the ridiculously powerful enemy with cheap deus ex machinas. In a war like this, there's bound to be sacrifices. If there is a magical seventh ending, however, that shows them al surviving as rumors claim, then it's definitely not going to be easy to get.

I think Bioware forgot their own lore about the Quarians and Turians when they stranded them to be forever away from Sheperd and forced to inbred or take a bullet in the head.

I highly doubt that bioware would do that on purpose because that would mean they would lose money. I think they just made a bad desicion, in my opinion.

That's the thing, the Reapers really aren't omnipotent. They're actually kind of stupid, one-trick ponies when you think about it.

I was in the Army for a time and will gladly return when I can get my legs working in top condition again. My step brother is a Marine, my twin is joining the navy, and my older brother is also joining the navy. My father was in the navy also and can no longer ues his hands fully due to his many years he had served. I know war and sacrifice(I grew up with my Father always gone every year or so until he quit and my mother eventually left him) fairly well and I want some of you to know that yes war is a terrible thing but wars HAVE been won before with a good ending.
