I'm thinking that after the Reaper started mowing down troops including Shepard, most people were just trying to get the heck out of there despite how out of place and character this is for most characters.

still doesnt explain how they end up in the normandy which is somewhere in space, and for it to decend down to earth would be just stupid with all those reapers everywhere

Any word on the transporting squad-mates at the end? Writing oversight or bug?

Pretty much everything you know about the ME Universe is thrown out in the last 5-10 minutes of gameplay.

Just note people - the people that step out of the Normandy in the end probably shouldn't include the people that were on Earth during the final mission. I imagine this being a bug.

As for additional games - they don't have to be placed after the ME trilogy. Might as well have a game set during the Geth / Quarian war where you play a Quarian.

Well, in BioWare's defense... They only said that ME3 was the end of SHEPARD'S story. They never said it was the end of Mass Effect as a whole.

Then they should've ended Shepard's story. If they had, in a satisfactory manner, we wouldn't have this thread.

Even if this was the end of Shepard's story I would still like to see this game's setting and lore expanded but with the way they ended it, there is no room to expand IMO...

EDIT: I didn't see your last post Eirileth, but that's what I meant with the lack of mass relays and such...

This offends me SO MUCH. Garrus was my LI; and he has never backed down. Not ever. Not when he was alone and doomed in a tower, surrounded by mercs. Not before Saren. Not during the suicide mission. And in ME3, he tells Shep, "We'll get through this. We always do." 

Then in the end, he bails? Skedaddles with the rest of the crew, who have all turned craven and are running like hell, abandoning the Commander who has sacrificed so much for all of them? 

My ass.

Quoting this for truth.

The ending we got seems like an ending barely above the Reapers winning. Think about it, even if you unite all races of the galaxy only two people actually make it inside the citadel. Should be more like this: in the end you have one or more of every race you brought with you, onboard the citadell, especially the Geth and then i want to hear the excuses of that brat when all of those declare him an idiot and that he should take his pets and scram.
I also reloaded the ending and shot at the aparition. After that didn't do anything i shot at everything that remotely looked important sadly to no avail

[Geda173]

I just finished the game a second time (not NG+) and I saw the "secret ending". Its a short clip, not even 10 seconds long which gives a little bit of hope, but the end still sucks.

How about you jump to your conclusions on the ending once the game is released and not based on a script leak that is months old? Personally, bioWare would be shooting itself in the foot if there was no "happy" ending.

It should be difficult as heck to get, because you're fighting Reapers, not your kittens. If it's too easy to get (like "No one left behind, got it on my first run through") then it's pointless. Bittersweet? I would accept that.


If there is no happy ending, I'm sure BioWare is expecting a trove of hate from the fans and maybe a huge drop in their profits because no one is going to keep buying their games if they emotionally invest players for 8+ years just to troll them. Would be a bad business move.

I want to know how this person feels now lol.

Sad but true. I was looking forward to the prospect of some sort of prologue game in the future, like "Mass Effect: First Contact" based on the Turian war. Now, I can't see myself enjoying that. Oh, great, I can fight against the Turians, but in less than a century we'll all be stuck in the S.O.L. system.

You're right... I'm going to draw something to illustrate the ending I wanted...

I played through the game a second time (with NG+) and did not see anything new. Please PM me what the clip is? I'd greatly appreciate it. 

Edit: hell, this is a spoiler forum. Just say here! XD If it's the "Shepard breathing" one, that is not new. All you need is to choose destroy with 4k+ EMS and "save" Anderson, or just 5k+ EMS.

I didn't mean to offend, I even said that it was out of place and character for your squad to ever do such a thing.

Finished the game on the 6th and i still can't really bring myself to playing it. There's just no getting over it.

Cant say for sure. The person is wearing an N7 Dogtag and his armor is shred to pieces, just like Shepards after he got hit by the reaper.

Yes it is this one. I did not see this one however on my first run, maybe because I didn't have enough points. I just pushed my Galactic Readiness today and did alle sidequests just to make sure.

I think after 4 days I'm still sort of in shock. Been getting these moments where I think....the game actually ends with space jesus and different colour explosions. It's so mind numbing that I'm having a hard time to get some sort of understanding....how can you mess things up this bad in just a few minutes.

Ah. Then yes. That's not the secret ending. You can fulfill those requirements your first time around. Just have a high enough EMS and choose to destroy everything.

Edit: or I should say...if that is the secret ending, they bugged it. My roommate got it his first time through.

Oh yeah. No way would any of those characters have bailed on Shepard.

Just one more problem in an already awful waste of an ending.

Betrayed is my best guess. When I heard the first whine I thought. "Ah well, people always complain". Could never have imagined the crap that the actual ending is myself, I imagine it's the same here. Can't blame people for having faith, only blame bioware for betraying it.

[ExileArin]

I still can't wrap my brain around what they were thinking while writing this. Who honestly thought that ending would be a satisfying conclusion for the majority of fans?

[coogi]

 Okay, after about three hours of post reading (yeah get a life, I know) I've come to three main actualizations about Mass Effect's ending.

Before I go into these, I'd first like to point you all in the directions of two posters who I thought captured the feelings of the community best (and again this is my opinion, you're all entitled to your own): Beras (pg. 600), and I can't remember the name, but he had a really long post on page 597. Kudos to you two, I have to say it's really captured my thoughts and sentiments. Also I made the exact same choices Beras did, but I digress.

Actualization No. 1: BioWare did not actually know how to end the series. When I first saw the end to my favorite game, series, and story of all time I was devastated not at the (spoiler) death, or assimilation of Commander Shepard, which was depressing and very emotional for me, but at how BioWare just shoved three endings that made no sense down our throats. What does this have to do with BW not knowing how to end it you say. Well if you think about how BioWare had masterfully ended each game, with ME 1's dramatic destruction of Sovereign, and ME 2's heroic conquering of the Collectors, and then we have ME 3's ridiculously annoying little kid who's god or some ****, which makes no sense. But honestly people, how is BioWare supposed to know what ending would be appropriate amongst the epicness of the previous games' endings? It's not like they could poll everyone and say "Hey Shepard's boned, what are your thoughts?" No, that would just make people barrage them with a gazillion ending ideas, all of which would ****** off a ton of people no doubt.

Actualization No. 2: The Ending is far too final. As I'm sure you're all thinking as I write this "no duh, it's the end of the series." I'd like to point your attention to the (for lack of a better word) promise made by some Mass Effect director, that Shepard's story is finished, but not Mass Effect Galaxy's. Which led me to believe that yes Shepard may not be the next protagonist, but at the very least you can see his actions throughout later games. But with the destruction of the Mass Effect Generators, there is not Mass Effect Galaxy, it would take months if not years to travel to where you needed to be, and can you imagine how lame that would be if you were confined to one system, dealing with one races problems? It would suck. So how in the world are we going to have a good Mass Effect game after 3, if there is no way to move around? sure they may have studied the Mass Effect Generators, but if they had wouldn't the ships be fasters. Again I digress, sorry all.

Actualization No. 3: (I know we're all victims here, and this is probably hypocritical but f it): Talk is cheap. I've seen this before, where people just sat around an wrote things about what was wrong with certain aspects of something (look at the council, and for a better real world example, look at Congress) nothing will get done without some kind of action on our part. So for all of you Mass Effect Fans that have been a core believer from the start (or like me, were forced to start with ME 2 cause of Play Station) please sign the petition to change the Mass Effect Ending, the address is :
http://social.biowar...2&poll_id=29101  we need your help to stop the rEApers, Commander Shepard needs your help soldiers (sorry, too good to pass up).

And just because I thought it needs saying, I was pissed at BioWare for snuffing ME 2 characters (i.e. my girl Miranda) but after playing through all but the end of ME 3, and witnessing the emotion, determination, hopelessness, bravery, and sheer badassness of the story, I realize that ME 3 is a very good game, but without a proper ending, it'll only be "very good", never reaching the pinnacle of storytelling and action I know the game's capable of. So anyone whose willing to do something about this, please contact BioWare, sign the petition, do something, anything to help fix the ending to the greatest franchise of all time.
