Bioware:
Shepard dies
Shepard gets stranded forever alone

Pick your poison.



Customer: is there a happier ending?

Bioware: there is a ....secret ending

Customer: which is?

Bioware: shepard merges with a reaper and the cycle begins anew.

Customer: oh F* Off.

Bioware: *troll face* u mad?

I thought Merge wasn't a secret ending, but rather, one of the 3 choices but Merge is harder to achieve.

Merge sucks ass too. Organics lose the tech that they dominated to dominate the galaxy, meanwhile becoming slaves to tech as well.

Merge ending reminds me of the game Deus Ex Machinima.

I'd just like to point out that the ending I predicted for this series is far edgier and realistic than the truth:

[milominderbinder]

Is it really sure that the Relays get destroyed if you choose the Synergy ending?
and even if so, with those enhanced minds it should be possible to rebuild everything and accelerate the spread of intelligence throughout the universe. if so, then the synergy ending is like a shep-induced technological singularity and this is definitely not sad. A sacrifice well worth it.
and in terms of importance: galactic civilization > normandy crew > shepard
it could be a satisfying ending after all?

Well I can officially say that if these are the final list of endings then my paragon saves are going to merge with a reaper and begin the cycle anew. Screw the galaxy, screw humanity, screw every alien race if I can't have a quasi happy ending after sacrificing so much to save the galaxy then I would rather spend eternity burning it to the ground.

wait a second? didn't i see a thread a couple weeks ago talking about a dues ex machina talking about how the reapers where not threatening enough? Correct me if i am wrong

Actually - the Reapers are even less threatening - and they've lost a lot of what has made them the awesome evil beings they were in ME1 and ME2 - now they're just another big bad created robot race.

The issue here is oddly enough, nothing to do with the Reapers but the way in which they're stopped.

You basically have an arrival choice - no matter what you choose - the outcome is the same.  This applies to your readiness, your assets, your choices.  The only thing that really changes is you (the gamers) personal reasoning for choosing one of 3 choices. All three choices in very broad generic terms - put the whole galaxy back to square one.

I don't know about everyone but i like the endings. :/ I feel a story like this does not deserve a happy ending. I understand why people are mad but from my perspective this endings are actually great for my shepard. My shepards have always been created with a very complicated and messed up mind state. I got into mass effect 2 thinking wow my shep's psychological state is pretty bad right now. When they announced ME3 i actually *not a sadist* but wanted my shep to die but save the galaxy or something in those terms. Accompained by the mansell music the endings i have read seem like they are the perfect endings for my sheps....I might get ahead of myself but its almost beautiful....i know im weird but that is just how i feel.

That sounds like an awesome end for your Shep.  The problem is, it's the same ending for all our Sheps.  I was definetely going to go at least one playthrough with an "ultimate sacrifice" type end.  I was really hoping my canon Shep was going to be able to walk into the sunset on a devastated earth with at least one person he gave a damn about though.  That's the problem for me.  A million choices and they all arrive at the same basic conclusion.

WELL, ****. If this day couldn't get any worse:

"Depending on what characters the player has assumed, sex can take place between humans and humanoid aliens of both sexes. The sex scenes contain no nudity and no detail of sexual activity."

Seriously? Are we still in fear of Fox News?

Well, the script calls "merge" the "perfect" ending so I guess BW agrees with you.  According to the leakers over at the SA forums it doesn't seem like the relays work no matter the ending but that is still a bit up in the air.

It's amazing how you people paint Shepard as someone who can't cope with loss, and have no survival intentions or instincts on Earth.

Shepard /= You

It's not that Shepard can't take a loss or two. I'm pretty sure he can take the loss of the galactic society or so, since he knows the galaxy now has a chance to prosper without the Reapers.

However, Shepard basically loses ANYTHING. There's nothing left of what he had before. No friends, no family, no love, Earth is burning ... he's pretty much alone in the end.
And that's something hard to swallow.

So it's exactly like DA2 for my first Hawke? He lost pretty much everything by the end of Act 2, and Act 3 was just there to make sure there really, absolutely wasn't the tiniest bit of hope left...

I really don't understand what the writers were thinking. They know how attached people are to their LIs and the squad. For many people (not everyone, obviously, but myself included) the whole development of relationships was the biggest draw to this series.

So why could they not let the Normandy crash on earth? That way, you'd have one (difficult to achive) ending in which Shepard survives on earth and can meet the others again. The relays will still be blown and everyone is set back to the middle ages.

I simply don't get how anyone could think that the way they handled the endings is a good idea.

  


If you thought the endings were bad . then I guess finding out that thet turned TIM into Saren 2.0 and even give him the same exact end of you can kill him or force him to kill himself

Honestly - I don't care about TIM in the least. I expected that we would get to kill him at some point, but the circumstances don't matter to me. He could do the Macarena dance with Harbinger for all I care.

What's the journey without satisfied ending? Waste of effort, time, money.

...I don't want to play ME3 anymore.

[RamirezWolfen]

I gotta admit, that's pretty disheartening. But I guess I'll just have to roll with it.

[nightcobra]

@elegana, i'd even go so far as to add one more scene to your written ending that could be regarded to me  as the perfect ending.l

Imagine that unknown planet had some natives, maybe existing races or others alltogether. We see joker on a holotape depicting his life on the planet, interacting with the remaining crew and natives, showing him age over the years as the records go happy with his full life and the scene transissions to a human hand closing the holotape. Fast forward a few thousand years and civilization has flourished in this planet along with some visual cues that shows us that the normandy crew was important to this outcome like a statue of shepard and his/her crew on the central plaza or something like that.

At least Hawke can still have their LI at their side in the end...

Does it really matter anymore?
Since this story won't end satisfying for Shepard and the LI, they also could skip sex and use the time for some romantic stuff before getting separated by death or distance.

No sex needed anymore.
Besides that, we still can mod naked Ash if we need.

Hahahaha, GAME is cancelleing all CE pre-orders, this is just lgorious, didn't even have to cancel myself. Me thinks this is meant to be.

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.

As long as we can punch the Turian councilor before the end, I'm game!

[kingsims]

The PC version will get the "Proper ending" made by true Ash/Kaiden, Garrus, Tali, Liara fans. I don't doubt it. And we can have Kaiden or Ashley narrate the ending.

Btw the council shuns you but only the Turian counciler belives you and asks for your help (After all him being a bad guy in 2 games he redeems himself and asks shepard to go to the Turian homeworld and inreturn he will pledge his support and try to sway the council)

It's like they took the DA2 ending, and removed the only aspects of it that fans could cling to. No LI, and no promise of something bigger on the horizon.

It's just... over.

[Nodnol88]

Just to clarify, is the ending where Shepard bites the dust relatively positive on a larger scale?

I am completely fine with that, if the pc cant be happy in the end then I will finally be selfish and make the whole galaxy suffer with me.
