So we can't get the ending we want after all?

Again, most people's problem is not that the relay explodes or even that Shepard dies. Its that the normandy crashes needlessly in the abyss, and even if Shepard does survive on the max ending, it won't matter.

Not to mention, unless you do the merge ending, there's nothing to suggest Garrus/Tali don't just starve.

Then the other issue is the endings are all negated by the epilogue. So even in endings where it would make sense that society might recover [Shepard controls the reapers, dying in the process but preserving technology], for some reason the tech is still destroyed with no real explanation.

Whatever there is, we can't judge the game by some suspicious leaked scripts and endings that were described in quite humorous way by someone we don't know.

If these endings are to be believed and bioware dudes reccomend keeping save files I'd rather wait for another month or two until game is out and all possible DLCs for SP will be announced/released.

What I'm hearing about these endings is really upsetting. I've supported Bioware and defended Mass Effect throughout the series. But it's a video game. We should have the choice to get a really happy ending if we try hard enough, even if it means getting 90% of things right throughout all 3 games.

I'm pretty sure a bittersweet ending even when I've done all the sidequests and made enough right decisions, would basically stop me from wanting to play the games ever again.

btw i see BSG similarities here.


I don't.  BSG had a fairly happy ending, but bad things happened during the course of this "happy ending".  In fact, BSG had a *very* happy ending.  One I did not expect in the least.  

The only BSG similarities I see is the obvious quarian/geth.  Mass Effect itself takes ideas from all over.  Horror, fantasy, noir.  The endings, to me, have nothing in common with BSG.  In fact, only one of the three outcomes (peace) in regards to the quarian/geth situation mirrors BSG.  The other two don't at all.

Be honest with yourselves guys we knew from the start that ME would not have a happy rainbows and sunshine endding. When the technology of every race is based off what their foe gav them how could you hope to see an endding that allowed everything to go back to normal?


For the last time, no one is asking for sunshine and rainbows. We are asking for an ending where Shepard is with the normandy's crew at the end. Don't care if it's a deserted planet and the galaxy is sent back tech wise for a thousand years. That's what we want, just a little bit of happiness for Shepard, no 'he/she dies alone, the end'

They aren't even bittersweet.  Just relenteslly cruel.

well yeah, BSG looked like a happy end, and we dont know if Bioware wouldnt stage it in a similar way, but ultimately everybody there died (right in the beginning even) and a new Eve was born, which was not even, you know what.

I'd honestly just be happy for an ending where they all die together.

I heard from a source that the person that died on Virmire actually comes back as a husk. One of the ways to get the good ending is to get through to the Virmire casualty, so that it taps into the psychic link between husks and as them all turn on the Reapers. Then humiliates them by "tea bagging" all the Reapers.

Just to join ending discussion, I kind of hoped for Shepard to live and help Earth or any other planet(Sur'Kesh maybe O_o) reconstruct after Reaper attack.
Maybe working in public service community or something to that degree, either with your LI either alone, depending on what you did before.


These endings are pretty cruel. Realistic, but way too cruel, especially after everything you anf your crew went through.

Yep, as far as I'm concerned there is no reason why the normandy would leave Shepard. They've given everything for him/her. They would follow Shepard into death.

I think current endings we are discussing here are the highest level of tragic already. :?

If the ending(s) is as ****ty as you guys claim, which range from "Dying like a dog in the street" to Living in self imposed seclusion on a space rock millions of light-years away from civilization, with no possible way of EVER getting home. Then this series is officially dead to me.

Nothing kills a story like a bad ending.
And it doesn't help when the player gets to "choose" their bad ending.

I believe in Bioware writing talent. Like said just look at BSG, they managed to combine both. Or even, hell, ME2, shepard died there too.Knowing what will happen is only half the story. imo.

The main complaint for a lot of people isn't that they aren't happy, I think a lot of people were expecting bitter sweet endings at best. The problem is... all of the endings suck and at least one doesn't make any sense and basically involves magic.

But I'm not mad about the ending anymore. I'm just going to get some popcorn and enjoy the show.

Besides, after what they did with Jacob, and the EDI fiasco. I don't even care anymore.

The Q_Q'ing here is depressing.

"I can't believe that that BioWare would have these bad endings!"

I can't believe that children starve to death in Africa. This entire thread needs to go on whitewhine.com badly.

Is that what most people are complaining about?  They think Shepard dies no matter what?  Are people not paying attention that much?  #fail

I have a faith in BioWare too, actually. Previous two games were bananas, it will be a huge sin to screw up this time.
As I already stated few pages back, I have a feeling all leaked scripts were fake from the beginning, so when actual game goes out we might be in for a big surprise.

Shepard gets to the top of the Dark Tower and ends up at Eden Prime, at the beginning of the invasion. To his horror, his/her memories of the rest of the trilogy start to fade as the story resets itself.

The turian in metal fled across the galaxy, and the spectre followed.
