Ok, question.

Why in the world did the Reapers build the relays and the Citadel for organic life to find them?

Doesn't it seem odd that the guide (at least the past detailing the endings) gets everything else right, including something as subtle as the Paddlefish, and yet makes up a "secret ending"? Nobody else finds that suspicious? Perhaps the same glitch that causes faces not to import properly is causing other game data not to register. If the game doesn't realize it's a new game plus it wouldn't give you the secret ending. I mean, it's possible or even probable that it doesn't exist, but we aren't 100% certain at this point.


Has the "secret ending" been debunked by another player, or is this just heresay.  Because I'm most interested in a secret ending, even if it is just an extra line of dialogue or text?

Xoisite said he played the NG+ and said there was nothing new. 


He also gave extremely vague and non-spoilerish details until other people leaked specifics due to the NDA. Maybe Bioware told everyone legal action would result if anyone mentioned the secret ending. I don't know, it's starting to feel like we're grasping at straws. Either way, the endings don't bother me that much. After Sovereign single-handedly took on a good portion of the warships in the galaxy (let's face it, the geth were basically a decoy), it became clear that no ending would feel plausible or gratifying. Bioware painted themselves into a corner. Unfortunately, it appears that they couldn't write a good ending and settled on the depressing mess we have. But at least we don't have to fight a giant Terminator this time around. That's certainly a major plus.

There is also the secret ending for beating the game in NG+. The guide only hints it in one sentence:

What?  I'm not seeing what you're seeing.


"A secret ending is also available once you complete the game a second time"


It has been confirmed as false by Xio, doesn't surprise me seeing as it's a Prima guide.

They whipped out space magic and the crucible out of nowhere and now you're claiming that this ISN'T a Deus Ex Machina? Are you being serious?


Sorry, what?
Of course it's a deus ex machina. I never denied that.  I thought my post was clear regarding that matter, desptie that my english , obviously, is rather poor.

With all due respect, Garrus30, that sounds more like a typical "use new game plus to play the game again and make different choices" than it does a "go beat the game again and get a secret ending".  And whoever took that picture did a horrible job.  Don't cut off sentences like that.  Take a picture of the whole thing so we can see the context of it.

I remember that after you complete ME2, you could continue doing side quests, exploring etc. Is that correct?well...Casey even confirmed to GI that there would be post campaign play in ME3 but it looks like it was BSWhat? I remember that here were many posts that said the exact opposite, that there won't be a post game.

I said post completion play not post completion dlc

Yeah I know, that's I meant.

well im just saying his review should be looked at that way some fears can be calmed down


i asked him about the prothean and no hes not in story wise unless you buy the dlc

i asked about the kai leng fight he gave some nice answers on it in fact he said he fights like a phantom

he also stated miranda has more of a role than any other me2 squadmate so this makes me interested

he wont talk the endings do to him fearing his words may get twisted around

he gives it a 9 for a rating

But what about below 1750?


Below that means you're doomed! Bad. Very, very bad.


The Reapers win and everything is destroyed:devil:


Unfortunately, the only way the Reapers "win" is if you die and get the end game screen. Apparently the devs thought a lazy playthrough with not even a single side quest completed wasn't bad enough to deserve an epic Reapers Destroy All cutscene. Lame.

Sweet! I'm just worried about in ME3, if we import, we supposedly have to find Kelly to get our fish back. I haven't found confirmation on whether that's true and if it is, do we have to romance her to even get our fish back.

People on here that don't like the ending sign this petition!


Done and done! I doubt it'll change anything though. :unsure:

Don't let the trolls get you down! If you do nothing, then nothing changes. Don't give up hope buddy!:D

I mean the video files aren't there.  I mean it's just not matching with anything that we know of.  Is it possible that it is indeed in the patch and Bioware told the guide writer to put the secret ending in the guide?  Sure.  Is it possible that there was a secret ending at one point but Bioware scratched it and the guide writer didn't update the guide?  Sure.  I mean just as the game stands at this moment, I doubt there is a secret ending.  Can things change in the future?  Yes.

In short we have to wait till Tuesday to see what happens but I wouldn't get your hopes up about it.

Someone should also try and contact the guide writer and see his response on the matter.

Yes, I'm aware there have been contradictions. I'm merely restating things we know so we can figure this out (if we even can). I'm really hoping there is a secret ending.

The guide does say it. And there are more pics for those complaining about the focus or something. Do it yourself instead of complaining:

The technology of the Relays is so advanced that organics rely on them instead of developing that level of technology for themselves. The Reapers have ensured that the Citadel is the heart of government, and that the Relays are the basis of galactic society. Without the Relays, every species is seperated and all the easier to destroy. And with government being in the first location the Reapers arrive, harvesting them is even easier.

As it says, it's available once you beat it a second time.

I think they meant that you can see the secret ending in your 3rd playthrough. I could be wrong though.

If its ME 3 you're talking its far more likely you'll have to save her from some enemy - and ME3 has lots of those.

Thanks. That makes sense.
Sorry. I'm still trying to figure out the logic behind the ending and the Reaper's motivations.

Probably... I did hear a rumor that she supposedly gets killed by Cerberus if you don't save her.

No problem.

And as for the Reapers' motivations, do you mean the singularity?

Can someone identify what is that Shepard bought in ME2 and has to survive through ME3 and NG to unlock a bonus? The fish? I can only read Prejeck-something.
