I firmly believe Shepard felt guilty about not saving that child, and whatever manifested itself on the crucible used the image of what Shepard felt most guilt for to present itself.



I agree.

I would have preferred it if it manifested in the form of someone I actually knew that died, say Ashley, Mordin, Thane, or Legion. But maybe that's just me xD


Agreed.


I like the use of the child's image as the catalyst, though I was straining to recognize the other voices that were echoing along with the child's voice. I swear it sounded like Shep's voice, but I'd have to listen to it again.


Knowing our luck right now, in actuality we created the reapers and this has all been one huge freaking logic loop from hell.

I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.

I want my Disney ending.

My "Kick Reaper ass, everyone goes home, happily ever after".

I want to build Tali's home on Rannoch, or have Ash introduce me to her sisters, damn it.

Agreed.

I was trying to single out the echos in the catalyst's voice, and I swear they sound like male and female Shepard

I'm not sure at all if all ships are disabled. It's extremely vague in regards to what is actually affected by the destroy option. This is the only option where Shepard can "live", but the god kid makes a point to tell Shepard he is largely synthetic. Strange. It would incredible depressing to see Shepard cause the disabling of every ship in the fleet, and by extension the death of millions more, including his own fellow servicemen and Admiral Hackett. But even if that doesn't "happen", we should KNOW. It shouldn't be this vague!

As for all the races living together... I don't know. Even assuming there was space for all of them, what does it really matter? The Turians and Quarians, as I mentioned, would almost certainly die due to starvation. The Quarians would never see the planet they finally won back. The Krogan, while they might live, probably didn't bring any women. Even if Wrex stays and survives, how much can he really do to calm them down after all that's happened?


As I said before, the problem is that we're forced to guess what happens, and almost all realistic estimates are even more depressing than the horrible ending we're told.


I agree with you.

The Quarian civilian fleet is on the homeworld being helped by the Geth if you went full Paragon., I think that's what Admiral Raan says in an email.

Even if the Geth die, they can be rebuilt by the Quarians, assuming they'll make the same mistake again.

I thought I saw Wrex die on Earth in a cutscene, killed by a lazer beam.. Man I need to play less and sleep more.. lol

I would just like another ending. A lot of people put so much time into playing this, we just want the ending that gives us the closure from all that time spent. We don't have to remove the current endings, but give us more diverse options like the choices we make throughout this series. We have a series of endings that Shepard dies, but we should have had a few where he could live. Like others here, I spent many hours and play throughs looking forward to this game, but the endings we got leave me just feeling empty and disappointed.

I always loved Bioware and supported them for a long time. I'm finding it hard to want to ever do that anymore after this.


I don't even care if Shepard lives, I just want to know what effects my choices had, and also not feel like everything I did over three games was for nothing, basically all three endings are worse then letting the reapers just eradicate all the advanced races from the galaxy and reset it. I basically just made it worse. The tagline was "Take Earth Back". I don't feel it.

So, ok, as a compromise, we ask them to remove everything after Shep and anderson sit down on the citadel, and replace it with some dialogue that ties up loose ends and lets us know what we accomplished??

With subs on, I heard Ashley, Mordin, Thane and Legion. Ashley says, Shepard and the comment about saving Kaidan, Mordin says Shepard I can't remember his other comment, I heard Thane say Shepard's name alone, and Legion say Shepard-Commander.

When they added the poker table inside the normandy, I was hoping for a poker game with the whole crew. Like they did at the end of Star Trek TNG when Picard actually joins the rest of the crew for poker.

It would have paid humble homage to a great Sci Fi series and a fitting ending to a "good" ending

There should have been more varaity in the endings.

Last game in the series, no excuse for not making diverse and different endings. Can't even say they're just trying to leave it open for more sequels because they destroyed the IP.

It's sad that I would actually willingly pay at this point, not even for a dlc, but for the option to Shepard to simply load up a small ship with supplies and fly out into dark space with his LI. He wouldn't last long, and the cycle would continue, but honestly all I want is for him to get some rest and happiness. Maybe it's wasn't Bioware's intention, but I care for the Shepard and his squadmates a lot more than I care about saving the future generations. They might as well have us play as the Protheans, with the "resolution" being the information we pass down to the next cycle.

Y'know, now that I'm thinking about it, wasn't it established in Arrival that blowing up a mass relay would generate an explosion akin to a supernova?

I think the best defense, and the one I sort of agree with, is that it's a different kind of explosion (controlled vs. uncontrolled).

The bulk of the energy gets forwarded before the relay breaks open, so it isn't actually destroyed while housing all of its potential energy.

Or just bad writing / oversight. Hard to say.

Suicide by fans seems like the only logical reason for the ending.

But I doubt the reason is logical.

I stayed off the forums for a while to avoid spoiling the endings for me. Loved the game all the way up until the ending. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I'd gladly pay for a DLC that adds a decent ending with actual closure and all that.

What I wonder is... why did it have to be a trilogy?

Doesn't anyone see the money making gold producing ME 1 - 40 would be?

Sure, Shepard would get old... but you know what? Let Shepard have a kid - you play the kid. You play a young member of Shepard old crew... you play someone inspired by Shepard... or just, someone new in a "Post Shepard" mass effect.

I simply cannot understand why interactive video games that inspire such fanatical devotion... would be given a trilogy treatment. There are already people who want, and would pay for, a 4. (Not to mention an amendment to the ending of 3)

That's my opinion too. It's a damn game, not reality. The lives of trillions don't really rest on my shoulders (or we'd totally be doomed!)

Excellent point! Although, I'm guessing that without the meteor crashing in them, the explosion would be smaller? I dunno, I'm no scientist..

I want my  Earn  you Happy Ending/With alive crew alive but no worst for where and my  Sacrific Ending with the Tearful  and Heart warming good bye.  ensuring that future is safe.   I want multiple ways the story the end based of what we choose... not 3 options  of some  weird thrown together  " Look Look we want to be  high minded nonsense"   They could have deep still had those endings and lot more. We all could talking how our different Shepards bring the conflict to a close and the different themes present in each.    Instead we get a big pile of WTF.

I wanted to adore Mass Effect 3 - to exalt it as the perfect end to the RPG series of the decade. I almost could've, but in the end all this game did was kick me in the stomach and leave me with a million questions. If nothing else, it serves as an interesting example of how completely an ending can make or break a piece of art;  that I can see no other purpose for it honestly breaks my heart.  


Well said

Hell, keep the three endings in place. But add more.

New endings-

1. Happily Ever After(everything goes right)
2. The Cycle Continues(everything goes to hell)

Yes but as someone mentionned before: any mission after saving the galaxy from a horrible fate and uniting every race together would seem like a very small task..

But no worries! Shepard will be back, in the shape of a giant squid! :D
