Oh they are. One poster who nabbed a copy of the Space Edition finished it. Apparently, he found the ending he got to be satisfying. Maybe it's better to watch it than read it. Or something.

I really think we should all try to attract Bioware's attention and try to change something. I mean, do we really want Shepard's story to end like this? I sure as hell don't. It just feels so cheap.


The game comes out in 1 week. lol


I didn't mean before it comes out :P Like a patch or even a free DLC, but to be honest, at this point I would even pay for a proper happy ending.
Trying would be better than just sobbing/raging in the background.

I agree. Happy ending DLC ftw! :wizard:

Oh....sure you do.


Take your LI with you on the final mission and get stranded with them.

Pop the question, get hitched. Easy.

If you're lucky, Major Kyle will be there to perform the service for you.

^^^This.

The guide is pretty vague when it comes to describing the endings too (i.e. no screenshots), it wants to keep them somewhat a mystery for the game itself. We need to see them play out on the screen.

At this point, I'm really just hoping that something was "lost in the translation". There seems to be a lot of confusion with regards to Shepard's survival in certain endings as well as the Mass Relays themselves (I see claims that they're all blown up and others claiming they aren't).

I'm starting to really wonder about the 'merge' ending in particular...

Assuming these rumors are true, did you really expect that Shepard and crew would be able to fight off the Reapers without consequences for themselves? As if it would resolve in a neat little package at the end like a fairy tale, or where the entire crew holds hands and sings "kumbaya"?

At the end of the day, BioWare best know how to blow us away and emotionally engage us with their rock solid, masterfully written, majestic stories. I'm sure while everyone likes to complain, do you really want a Mass Effect 3 to have a bland, lifeless ending?

Where's the drama in that?

Personally, I think it's a great ending, a completely logical conclusion based on the plot progression (that we've seen so far) and it doesn't feel artificial or forced at all. Most of you are just angry because you won't be able to live happily evar after with your LIs.

Well guess what, Mass Effect is not about a choose-your-own-romance-adventure sexual wish fulfillment mini-game, with appalling elements like shallow fanservice and over sexualization. It's a gritty, mature, adult story which will surely advance the medium in ways we can't even imagine.

I'll play to the end that I get. It will be the end that Bioware have written and I will reserve my judgement on the end once I see it in context to all the decisions I have made throughout the trilogy.

If it looks like through ME3 that we are fooled into thinking that the Reapers will be beaten easily with whatever plot devices they give us and then we get an everybody dies end thrown in our face then that's just bad writing. just as the opposite i.e. it's a desperate fight to win and then we get a "hooray everybody lives" ending would be bad as well.

...We're not asking for sexual wish fulfillment. We want to have closure with our crew, the people we've worked with throughout ME1 and 2. We've spent all this time getting to know them. They're the best friends Shepard's got, and they just get dumped onto some undeveloped garden world. That's not closure.

I thought, from reading the script, the merge ending left the galaxy intact. Is that not the case? The endings in the script were very ambiguous. Does you have a link to a better description of them? Feel free to PM or explain if so.

All the endings require vast amounts of energy to be spent all across the galaxy. The Relays are the ony things capable, and it seems they are lost in every ending.


Thanks.  I just got PMed the endings so I see what your talking about now.  Firstly Renegades are wholly screwed.  You cannot even get the one ending where Shep lives it seems.  That's a kick in the nuts.

You're kidding right?  BW has had mediocre writing forever.  What is engaging about their games is the fact that we have some choice at least.  "Masterfully written"?  Please.  ME is a typical space opera, but it is supposed to be one we have a say in.

But that's just it, it's ONE ending. No matter what choice you choose with how to deal with the reapers or how much galatic readiness you have or how many weapons you have, you are basically ****ed over. Shepard either ends up DEAD or forever alone because his crew apparently went from Earth to the mass relay orbitting Pluto and got sent to God knows where.

What the hell ever happened to 'What we choose and what we do will have an effect on what happens in the end'?

And that's just not cool. Even if it required doing near impossible things (Like getting readiness up to max), I would've liked that 'perfect' ending, at least in the sense that Shepard can try and have a normal life.

People are asking for a choice to have a "happy" ending where the characters we've all come to know and love don't get screwed over. If that choice was there, I wouldn't be complaining about the other endings at all, and I doubt other people would.
We are all well aware that there is a war going on and people will die and all that stuff, but at the end this is a video game which brags about letting you make choices and we want the choice to for a happy ending. That's all.

Almost choked on coffee laughing. Ashley and Shep stuck alone on Earth, huh? Looks like they've got a lot of repopulating to do.

I'm fine with the idea that in most of the endings you get screwed over in some way, in fact I sort of expected it given how much it would cheapen the menace of the Reapers if you had an easy time of making it out of the war scott free. That said, I REALLY hope there is an ending that is at least 'mildly' happy for the Normandy and her crew. Otherwise I see another FO3 scenario where people flat out refuse to accept the endings available and headcanon in their own.
