And since most colonies had no problems having aliens living together, dextro food probably wont be a problem...

But im sure that's not enough to stop the ****ing, is it?


What evidence suggests there's a formed colony already?

Do we see these other people after the crash?

Anyone remember Jacob's Loyalty mission? It's quite similar.
They could set up a beacon.


true.. this should not be a problem... The only thing we need to know is how much time and fuel it would take for a ship to cross the galaxy without relays..


Without the relays?  The information from that beacon travels at the speed of light.  If you are across the galaxy, your crew will be long dead before anyone ever even receives the beacon.  It's not just travel that relied on the relays, communications absolutely relied on them too.

They.  Are.  Stranded.  Forever.

GB: What’s your own postmortem at this point? Your feelings on how it turned out.

CH: You know, I think we had a lot of ambitious goals for the whole series, and for Mass Effect 3 itself. I’m just really impressed with how the team came through, and I think for fans, they’re going to get all the things they’re looking for out of the experience. I think there’s a lot of excitement and a lot of anxiety. Fans want to make sure that they see things resolved, they want to get some closure, a great ending. I think they’re going to get that.

GB: What has been interesting to you about all the fan commentary so far?

CH: I think one of the things that’s really fun and surprising for us is the degree to which people responded to character-based storytelling. At this point, people need to know what’s going to happen with these characters, they need to know what’s going to happen in the end.

GB: Like every one of them.

CH: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Beacons worked through the relays.  I'd also assume they are electromagnetic signals which means it could possible take thousands (or tens of thousands) of years to reach any inhabited planet depending where they are.  If FTL still works it would take about 22 years to go from one side of the galaxy to another according to the wiki.

For many, and I'm with them all the way, this in not only a story about Reapers - this is a love story of our choice which is absolutely necessary to unlock the passion of the man (Sheppard) in order to see beyond himself and fight for his causes and his crew. It is what we all try to accomplish in real life which strikes us all when we live here in the real world - we too find that love makes us all better individuals that any of imagined we could become. It gives us a reason to live and struggle in our own lives.

Sheppard is that man or that woman we see in ourselves - that is why we become connected to L1s and to our crew. THEY, like our friends in life, are all with us on our journey during life and we become inner-connected to the other. Ask any Marine or serving soldier, sailor, or airforce personnel and they will tell you in no uncertain terms THEY served with BROTHERS in arms and became family. So NO, BW, it isn't good enough to see the Normandy marooned. NO BW it isn't good enough Sheppard might live while his crew and love are marooned on some planet as the end. I don't know this Sheppard, never met him, and never hope to do so. THAT alone renders everything dumb beyond words, beyond understanding, beyond common sense of MY Sheppard I created and I played. THAT is not good enough at all! I do not accept that ending nor will I! Its as simple as THAT!


If you feel that strongly about fictional characters without realizing it, you need to take a step back and realize that this is all fiction. When you finish ME3 on Wednesday night and go to bed, there's nothing but spoiled coffee and a stack of work on your "in" tray at the office the next day. 

And serving in the army isn't quite like playing a video game where you are a special forces character. In the army, you meet real people. In a video game, you meet people that don't exist.

Occam's Razor.

If the Normandy crashes on an otherwise empty planet and there's no survivors, how can it be populated in the future?

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending.

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

The SA guy said the old man and child couldn't have been a descendents of the Normandy crew since that part triggers irregardless of the ending. He didnt say that they landed on a formed colony.

I still find it very difficult to believe that Bioware would only include crap endings to the ME franchise. There have been multiple discussions of how they pay attention to their fans and to these boards. While there are some who were rooting for negative endings, it seems many more were wanting a chance to ride off into the sunset with their LI. It would take quite a bit of time to count the number of posts from Liara fans quoting their desire for "marriage and a bunch of blue babies" or the Tali fan's quoting the "build her a house on the homeworld" line. If Bioware is paying any attention at all they would realize that having only negative endings would generate a lot of anger, which is hardly a good business model.

Or... is it even more simple than that - that ME was simply a fictional story that a grandfather told his grandson?

I think that if in the end of the epilogue have audio or some cut scene that means that it's not over yet and i am sure that from Bioware have some surprise for the fans

Normandy hatch always opens. Ergo some of the crew survive even if your squaddies don't. They just don't show some random redshirt climbing out  that's all.

The guy at SA said: 

 That's because - as far as I know - there's no confirmation that the planet the Normandy crashes on and the planet that Stargazer is on is one in the same. In fact, considering the epilogue scene fires regardless of the ending you get (even the one that implies the Normandy crew is dead), there's little proof that the Normandy crew is permanently stranded or that they form an incestuous colony.

Considering the overall tone of the ending, I'd say it's unlikely they are stranded or that the ending is supposed to be considered 'sad'. Everyone's smiling and poo poo and looking at the sunrise, not wailing helplessly because they believe they're trapped forever.

I never told YOU what or how to think - that's your call. Don't assume you can tell me how to think for what I PAID FOR.

Meh, might just buy it from Amazon and not open it unless I get positive info. You can return unopened goods for a full refund without paying shipping if you selected unauthorized purchase, as far as I know.


You could get it used, so you can play it without giving bioware any of your money if you feel dissatisfied with their product.
