Not so much to ask.


Drinks on Garrus.


I'd rather have them on Kasumi. . . probably will pay with Garrus's wallet though.

This needs to be said, so may people on these forums have taken these endings way too much to heart. Cheated? Betrayed? Depressed? People it's one game, and one franchise your whole life doesn't end because the ending don't live up to your expectations . No they weren't that great, but I have seen much worse endings to a franchise that were much worse.

Like everything else on the internet people have pulled their dissatisfaction to unreasonable levels. Get over it and move on.

 Hold the line men.  Eventually Bioware and their evil EA ilk will be forced to listen to us.  Alienating fans is a bad business strategy and, if they are truly in this only for business, they will soon recognize that.


I know you're just being silly but don't call them evil. A lot of good people worked hard on this game. Someone just made a bad decision, happens all the time.

Wait, the crew isn't lost without tech, there was never a single scene that showed them using a relay to fly away or anything, I think they crashed on earth, and as far as space faring tech goes, they still have ships, the thousands that helped rain fire down on the reapers, it's not like they're cavemen, they'll rebuild.

Personally, I liked the ending(I chose the destroy ending) because the whole game was about stopping the reapers, not controlling them, or becoming one with them, DESTROYING them. I agree with fans that wanted to show how things were after the end with the characters but knowing you might have died a hero or lived through hell is gratifying. Looking at these forums, I'd said that's just me.

Gonna add my 2 cents to this as well!
Have to say these endings make no sense what so ever, Ok we get told the crucible has never been deployed and no one know's what it does and it has been passed down through each passing extinction of every race that has come before and modified. Now we have it completed and are getting ready to launch it and hey the kid in the begining is the catalyst who was killed by a Reaper, i don't get it it.
I feel like Obsidian wrote the ending for this game and not BW or they hired someone from Obsidian to write the ending cause it felt alot like KoToR2's ending. I was hoping to see major parting from all the worlds at the defeat of the reapers and of all life in the galaxy rebuilding and coming together at long last.
Now all these soldiers from other worlds are all in the Sol system and can never get back home because the Mass Relays are gone oh wait the Mass Relays have been blown up so that means there are no other systems out there because we all know what happened to the Batarian system when a Mass Relay blew up took out the entire solar system in a mass nova so that means every relay that has blown up took out an entire solar system with them leaving all life in the galaxy actualy extinct or it should be anyways, BW contradicted themselves in this.

So now you have known race in the galaxy trapped in the Sol System with no way home or a means to make it back there and now we all crowded together on Earth and Mars and Venus as one big happy galaxy. Someone really thought out these endings well oh wait is that sarcasm it must be.
I have loved, I have cried, I have felt the emotions of playing ME series and up till the ending ME3 that I so wanted to see the ending I had envisioned as playing the Paragon and uniting the galaxy behind and the parting and the popping the bottle on the wine with Dr. Chakwas is never gonna happen.
I hate the ending, I hate the writer who came up with it and I so wanted to come away with a feeling of accomplishment and all I can do now is come away disappointed, hurt and mad that BW the makers of great story's and great ending's has sold their souls to OBSIDIAN. I hope for a DLC that puts in a proper Paragon Ending and a Proper Renegade ending and I will buy those but as it stands till something changes I will continue playing ME1 & 2 and shelve ME3, but I will keep an eye out for BW to fix this if not well we as customers will know in the future what to expect.

Steps off soap box.

Coarse after i settled down alittle and thought about it when I was knocked out and came too feeling like death warmed over, maybe everything we saw in these supposed endings didn't really happen as it was Harbinger who landed by the light who's to say that were not all still on the road's edge and that Shepard is being tested and your fighting HArbinger's control and that Harbinger is putting these choice's in front of you in a dream state and the real ending comes in a DLC not yet released.

Destruction - is the same thing as being a reaper, synthetics destroy organics but if you pick destroy option its the same thing organics destroy synthetics.

Synthesis - is making synthetics & organics equal

Control - is ****ing around with **** that you shouldent because its a bad ****ing idea

but in the end everybody is ****ed so it does not matter lol thats the problam.


but why would you trust the lord of reapers


Exactly.  Why would you trust reaper kid if he says "Oh, to kill all the reapers you just damage the very weapon that will destroy them. "  Makes perfect sense.  Or "Go jump in that giant laser beam."  Or "Go electrocute yourself."  What a horrible ending.

 I've been a pretty loyal fan of Bioware's for sometime. When the original Mass Effect came out, I waited patienly to purchase it on PC (I didn't have an XBOX at the time). When I played through, I was blown away by the story, characters and connection you could make to the game. The fact that you're decisions could carry over and affect decisions in sequels that hadn't even come out yet was an amazing concept. So after beating ME 1, I felt satisified and anxious for ME 2 to come out.

When ME 2 came out, again I was blown away. You really get this sense that no matter what Shepard won't give up, he/she won't back down. I saved everybody, walked through the game a few times to ensure I got a perfect ending and bought all the DLC packs just to have a full comprehension of the game. Then, more than ever, I was eager and anxious for ME 3 to arrive.

Then ME 3 came out. From the start I was blown away by the sheer story telling and heartwrenching tale of struggle, victory and hope. From the onset of the game you had this hope that, yes maybe you could beat the Reapers, driver them back, end them for good. So I fought to unite every single race in the galaxy, doing everything for everyone, striving to build my team's confidence and resolve. throughout every step I couldn't control my eagerness and appreciationg for such a beautiful game. Then game the endings.

The endings to ME 3 are not at all what I expected. They are disappointing, incongruous with the series and story, and generally terrible. Not only did bioware attempt to take a beloved game and give it very existential and philiosphical types of endings, but they insisted that no matter how much hard work you did, no ending was really truly good for anyone of the games characters. I mean for the love of god, the endings don't even really make that much sense. At this point in time I really have no desire to start on a new playthrough with one of my other characters. The worst part about this bioware, is that you took away any sense of victory we may have with these endings no matter what we choose. I 

Sorry all for the long post, just needed to vent. Let's get this over 1000 posts

More preaching to the choir, but I feel like this is one of those rare times where not speaking my voice would be like denying a drowning man oxygen. If we don't speak up, well... Then we couldn't even say we tried.

For me, everything but the ending was perfect. Uniting the races. Losing dear friends along the way. Praying, at every turn, that it won't go wrong and you won't lose even more. I freaking LOVED that you could have Shepard start to show the burden of his/her role. Nightmares haunted by the voices of fallen friends. Guilt! My Shep was basically feeling that the loss of Thessia was her fault. It's a crazy notion, of course, and no one really blames the Commander for not being able to do the impossible, but Shepard is a true leader. It began to feel like a truly complete story. Love and happiness and stress built across three games and several years were coming together.

I didn't even hate the kid. For my Shep, that's everyone who cannot be saved. Everyone who sacrificed just so that Shepard could fight another day. Mordin. Thane. Legion. And the fact that The Illusive Man became a villain more than Harbinger? I was cool with that, too. TIM, to me, very easily represents what Shepard could have become. I still think it's quite possible that Shep was at least partially indoctrinated or affected by all that Reaper-related contact. TIM wanted to do what was right, more than anything. He was merely led astray and fed into darkness with power and the blind ambition that only HOPE can bring.

But frankly... We deserve the ability to choose. Mass Effect 3 was the best game I ever played. Period. Laughter, sadness, hope... The endings made them all pointless. Why can't my Paragon, guilt-ridden, War Hero use the alliances she has built between races and between organics and synthetics as proof that not all is lost? She has struggled too long. My heart marveled at the beautiful truth when Shepard hears Hackett say something is wrong. Why? Because, beaten and broken, alone and in agony, Shepard STILL thought of the mission first. "What do you need me to do?" I started sobbing right then. What a true hero. I even thought that I would be happy if the game ended right there. If Shep died on that platform... if she failed... Well, at least she died true to herself. At least she tried.

Why can't my secondary Shepard, a true renegade, refuse those three ending options given and simply use his sheer motivation to stop the Reapers to use the Crucible as it was intended: as a weapon? A horrifying weapon with unthinkable consequences, true, but Victory at All Costs!

The option to finally be at rest with your LI should be there. The option to go out in a blaze of glory and take your enemies with you should be there. Otherwise... what was it all for? If you allow us to make so many choices, let them at least provide us with an alternative. After all, when did Shepard ever accept what he/she was dealt? Shepard is a hero. Shepard always finds a way.

Tl;DR - My point is, the rest of the game was beautiful. We just want it to actually mean something when it comes to how it all ends.

Maybe both. Who is the guy who posted once or twice about having to explain this to people who don't get it as a passion? Same as any pasttime or hobby for which other people become passionate. It is not just a game in the same way a movie is not just a movie or a book is not just a book. Or a love for music is not 'just music'. I think my boyfriend would give me a look of extreme evil eye if I ever told him his passion for playing music was just something silly and no big deal. It would most certainly lead to A Fight ™.

Passions. We all have them.

What franchises? And if they are worse franchises of course the endings would be worse.

I have multiple playthroughs, all with different romances depending on my alignment toward Paragon or Renegade. As I played the game, I dreamed of building my home on Rannoch with Tali, dreamed of a life with Liara and being tossed around the air by small blue children biotics. I promised Ash that she would never lose me again.

I broke my promise to Ash already. I refuse to let my dreams of life with Tali and Liara be shattered.

I am a hopeless romantic, and an idealist, and I want my Disney ending.

Shepard died in the charge... It was all a dream after that. The "Guardian" being the boy in his dreams was the dead giveaway.

Now does the end make sense to you?

When I beat the game Thursday morning I went to sleep feeling numb (woke up the same way). Friday I was feeling depressed. Now today I'm sitting here with my recently restarted (ME1) renegade Shep playing him like a soft heart paragon.

For such a great series to fall apart in the final ten minutes leaves me feeling unbelievably cheated.

Is it too much to ask to have my little blue babies?


Yep, I finished the game at around 2am the other night and crawled into bed in the same kind of numb state.

My mind was racing through everything, trying to figure out what I might have done wrong to end up at the point the game ended on.  All the relationships I built, friends I made, conflicts I solved, struggles I overcame, and I lost all of it in the blink of an eye for nothing.

It's a train wreck of such epic proportions I can't fathom how this was accepted as a good idea by anyone other than a total idiot with no clue of how much we all had invested in our characters, and the story.

At this point I don't trust BW at all anymore.  Not.  One.  Bit.

Even if they fix it, there's still the point that they shouldnt have to fix it.  It should have been done right in the first place, and even if they somehow tried to fix it now, I still wouldn't forgive them for the endings the game shipped with.

We play games like this to escape the crap in our normal lives.  To be something better than we can be in reality.  I didn't invest hundreds of hours and years of my life in this game to get to the end and feel more depressed than I already do when dealing with real life problems, and yet ME3 went there in spades.  Why, out of 3 endings, not one could be an uplifting, happier ending I can't understand.

Mordin should have written the endings, at least he wouldn't have gotten it wrong.

I didn't choose to feel sick. I didn't choose to be depressed. I didn't choose be affected to such a degree. This is all a result of our passion, which regardless of your "it's just a game" sentiment, is a very real thing. Yes, it was a video game, but a game that I spent hours of time in. I learned to love the world and characters in it. The scenario may be a fiction, but the emotions it evicts are entirely real. Do you think if I could "get over it and move on" I wouldn't? I wish I could say "Oh, these last 5 years were a waste, I'll just forget everything that's happened on this amazing journey". But I can't, and neither can the people here.

This is all coming from a guy who only has ME3 registered, Probably his only ME game. (Even more likely his only Bioware game)

I will sit and wait as patient as can be in hopes for our real endings to come from bioware in hopes they include our Tali getting the home she and Shepard deserve, till then I can only imagine. (and blue babies for the liara lovers, etc.)

It's too much to just end the mass effect story like this. Bioware will do something, I hope.:blush:

Anyway, I don't think I can count myself in either the pro- or anti- ending camps. The pro-ending camp is a bit deluded, and the anti-ending camp is a bit extreme.

I really do think there's a great ending in there somewhere, but it was just fumbled.

So... fan of the concept, not of the execution.
