The fleets assemble on mass to engage and destroy the reapers. Sheppard leads an attack to take out the reapers shields. A massive battle ensures above earth. The rallied alliances forces hold back and attack targets that are weak picking them off one at a time minimising their causalities (While the other races are being blown to hell). As the battle ends the reapers are broken are pursued by the still strong alliance ships flying through the wrecks of the alien ships. The conclusion states that all alien forces were so badly damaged that they had to accept a human pace keeping force to protect them. The Human lead council now controls the galaxy and the last scene is Sheaprd in TIM’s chair smiling.

- Depending on how many aliens joined the fight there should be an option when the reapers are destroyed for the Alliance to destroy the remaining alien ships this would give the option for complete domination or just it was strategy.

A happy ending would have been out of place, perhaps the ending they provided wasn't the best, but no feasible way should there have been anything similar to happy.

Earth is at the epicenter of the destruction of the reapers. Earth is subsequently destroyed/ravaged and becomes uninhabitable. Humans become the new Quarians. Humanity then gets support from all the council races in recognition of their ultimate sacrifice and humans are finally and truly welcomed by the rest of the galaxy.
Shepard, if he survives, goes on to serve on the council as an advisor or in some other capacity.
Humans start colonizing a new world and building anew.

The Galaxy = a giant mess to re-build but there is hope
Reapers = defeated
Humanity = fresh start from multiple POVs
Bittersweet ending fans are happy, anti-depressing ending fans are happy (I think) and BW gets the new beginning angle that they want.

I like this. A good Paragon ending.  Complemented by a "Earth saved at expense of [insert alien races here], humans dominate aliens forevermore" Renegade ending this would have been ideal.

I guess I'll post it here too. Been trying to think of a headcannon for the LI fans. :/



The planet (being alien) is a hybrid dna planet, which can cater to both types...so that takes care of the starvation problem.

Shep (survival ending) is picked up by human/turian/salarian etc group sent to assess damages to the area to which shep dies. You know there will be squads to do damage control everywhere, with everyone stuck in the same solar system.

Maleshep- LI on island is with his child. Femshep- finds herself with LI child.

Year or so passes...all the races (asari who already know the basics) construct the first mass relay. Takes them to 'the alien planet.' Which lets assume isnt in a galaxy TOO far away, as the first mass relay pair can traverse it. OK...so the squad sent there finds the normandy, everyone freaks out. They bring the crew to earth, where the LIs child now is.

LI/crew tells shep about an awesome jurrassic park planet (which sounds a little cooler than earth) and they live their lives out there, bringing some necessary technology. Or they could stay on earth.


Also- about all the quarians starving in earths solar system...the flotilla we can presume is in the final showdown...as long as their agricultural ship is ok, they can sustain themselves...and thats how they have been survivng isolated the whole time.

Ending 1: Reapers Dead/Normandy in tact, earth moderately damaged/Shep alive with LI if LI isnt dead, Shep use the super weapon to blast the reapers, they fall victim to it and are destroyed, Shep hailed as hero by all, goes with LI to unknown location to live OR becomes head of council

2: Shep alive crew alive, earth badly damaged, reapers destroyed, Shep and crew returm to earth to aid in the cleanup, living on earth with Crew and LI, other crew members return to their homeworlds, if homeworlds are wrecked they stay on earth.

3. Reapers win/Shep dead, cycle complete

4. Shep dead. Reapers killed, Shep halied as heros, all crew return home if worlds destoryed the hep colonise new worlds.

5. Shep alive OR dead, reapers not defeated just driven back, if alive Shepard says that all future shepards shall be told of the reaper threat so that the shepard in the next cycle can be the vanguard yet again, if dead the N7 program fills in for Shep jrs

I would personally be happy with one ending - just one - where the Normandy ends up crashing on Earth, rather than being nonsensically slung away to Nowheria. Even with 1000+ variables, Bioware could have done better than an ending which inevitably implies the formation of an incestuous colony while two of the most popular characters in the franchise are doomed to starvation. I had thought of a fourth path Shepard could have taken in the final chamber though, and I'll mention it here:

Shepard walks away from the final decision. For once in his/her life, Shepard lets the chips fall where they may.

The Guardian stops meddling in organic affairs, the Reapers return to dark space, and everybody else goes home. If the singularity is inevitable, give us the option to let it happen. It will eventually mean the total destruction of civilization (which we will eventually get via singularity with the Destroy ending anyway), and Shepard knows it. This, combined with the devastation already wrought by the Reapers, delivers the bittersweet element. Shepard gets to go back to his/her crew. Everyone alive now lives out their lives; society (maybe) destroys itself a few tens of thousands of years down the line via singularity, and only then do the Reapers return to re-seed the galaxy with life, inverting their former purpose. What we get is a different kind of cycle, one that doesn't necessarily have to end with the extinction of organic life. Whether it does or not is up to us (organics). The responsibility falls on us to make that decision. We shouldn't be "protected" from the consequences of our own actions.

Beats the hell out of some magical green energy wave that spontaneously converts everyone in the galaxy into husks, if you ask me.

5 makes no sense, you're forcing a kid to become a super hero, and heroes aren't made they're born.

4 is too simple.

3 is the end-over.

2 is dumb

1 is pretty ridiculously happy and dumb.

Like it does now cause the reapers are far too powerful for the game to have some campy ending like the one most people want.

This is the final game, I want variation damnit!

Apparently when the first script was leaked in November/December, a highly detailed version of the games got out. There was the standard three choices, destroy, control and merge. But the had more variation depending on Shepard's EMS and choices. The epilogue would depend on this too, whether Shepard died or not, whether the relays would be preserved or not, who else would live and die, etc.

A possible scene that would occur if Shepard survives was Shepard emerging from the ruins of the Guardian, and being confronted by Anderson and his/her LI. The LI and Shepard would embrace and get emotional and Anderson would make an account of what had/would happen (How well the Sword and Hammer went, the relays, how baddly Earth took a toll, how baddly other species were doing, technology, what it might mean for the future, etc.)

What was WRONG with this ending!? I LIKED THIS ENDING!

Honestly, I'd be fine with the endings we have now if it wasn't for that BS about the Normandy and that. I'd just headcannon the rest. Hard to headcanon Shepard and Garrus finding each other again with no relays and Garrus possibly starving to death.

You may be forgetting that perhaps Mass Effect 3 was rushed by EA.

I would hope for something like this. Epilogue - all endings.

It is a couple of months into the future after the reapers were finally defeated. Male Shep & Ash get married on top of the remains of Big Ben. All the remaining party members are there. The sky overhead glows red with the fires of destruction that earth has suffered. At last the reapers are defeated, everyone breathes a huge sigh of relief....then just as everyone celebrates with a massive party the screen dissolves and there is an image of a small insect like object floating through space towards what remains of the Omega 4 Relay. That object is of unknown origin but looks like reapertech. A large hum is heard and the object begins to glow brilliantly.

The screen goes black

To be continued.....(accompanied by the sound of a reaper)

You go around galaxy gathering support and solving conflicts between races. Finally Combined Fleet arrives in Sol System. It is combined of Human, Turian, Asari fleets mainly, and those + Salarian and Krogan armies on board with some small scale support from others. You haul Citadel as supposed weapon to destroy all Reaper tech.

Battle commences, and rages both in space and on Earth, for some time with Reapers gaining upper hand, at least in space.

Finally, as everything seem lost, Quarian-Geth fleet arrives and join fight. If your choices were wrong regarding Geth or maybe because Legion was evil after all Geth fleet changes sides and attack Combined Fleet. Normandy flies to the Citadel and current endings roll out.

If you had chosen wisely, Geth  fleet deploy superweapon, that will disable Reapers, at the cost of draining the Sun of energy and turning it into dead star. Now all Combinded Fleet protects the weapon, and if your war assets were too low, you have to sacrifice Normandy with Shepard and crew to make it fire.

If you gathered enough assets, battle continue, and finally weapon fires and Reapers are disabled. Combined Fleet is in tatters, Shepard’s mother (if spacer) dead and Normandy damaged, maybe crash land on Earth. The galaxy survives, heroes survive, but darker tones play and we see  for ex. TIM, Legion or some Geth,  walking the corridors of disabled Reaper or sth like this as suggestion, it all can happen again.

@Aesieru: The ending is the only bit that feels rushed to me, I've liked pretty much EVERYTHING else I've seen about ME3 so far. I mean, sure, there's parts I don't like, like EDI's new body and the whole Udina thing and Tali/Garrus thing, but I can LIVE with those! I can't live with the crew being randomly stranded somewhere!

Rationally, Earth should have been lost at the cost of saving the Human race itself, this includes Shephard and his team who were remembered by a memorial and stories for their brave sacrifice.

Perhaps not the LI but a few key characters like Liara and the like would survive.

 A Bad Ending
This is kind of my response to the stranding of the Normandy. Pretty much this would be a Prothean scenario where everyone has been defeated by the Reapers but the crew of the Normandy WITH Shepard manage to escape. They now must travel the galaxy trying to figure out a way to warn and help the next generation that will have to go through this. Then ending with maybe a monologue from Shepard about how the crew deasl with this or maybe how they died. 

Well not good at explaining the idea but basically it would have a bit of bittersweet feel to it. You get to stay with your crew which are practically Shep's family at this point but the Reapers won and you know that no one on the ship will get to live out a 'fulfilling' life.

A Good Ending
Basically what I want is a Shep's alive and so is your surviving crew ending that deals with the universe rebuilding. I don't NEED Shep to stay with their LI or even the crew but I would like a 'story' for each character. "LI was a great guy/girl but not everything works out perfectly and I don't hold it against them." or for happier feeling, " "It's been a few years since I've seen Tali but her last message said that the Migrant Fleet was working to X" "Mordin passed away a few years after the Reapers, thankfully it was from old age and not a bullet." "DeadSquadMate may not have been around to see the end, but I think did them proud."

So basically I want more character conclusion

There would be actual variations and some sort of "closure".

Best end: Shepard and crew lives depending on choices much like ME2, reapers destroyed, mass sacrifices but the universe begins to recover. Possible also: Shepard and love interest (if they have one) decides to fake death and retire somewhere. Mission completed. Crew knows Shepard is alive but respects their decision and agrees to keep their secret. Shepard goes down in history as a legend, the hero who "died" to save the universe.

Neutral End: Shepard dies or entire crew dies or both, universe is saved, mass sacrifices, universe begins to recover slowly, reapers destroyed. Shepard and crew go down in history as heroes. Possible cutscene to future badguy trying to plot schemes of universal destruction. WELP. Shepard saved the universe, but it doesn't mean evil is completely wiped out for all eternity.

Worst End: Shepard and Crew died or Shepard dies, Crew is transported back to stoneage type planet, reapers begin to take over universe. Epilogue scene of small faction of people living in ****ty reaper universe somehow unaffected and unindoctrinated talk about trying to figure out a way to rise above and all that. The scene cuts to black and it's left ambiguous as to whether or not they can actually fight back, but unlikely.

Something like that. Meh, I just kinda made this stuff up on the spot. I just would have had actual choices for a best, neutral and bad end. Plus, maybe even more endings than that. Variations, you know? My main problem with a lot of the spoilers I've read is that they don't seem to be giving us much variation or choice on a lot of things. They're just forcing a lot of **** on us and we get very little say in it.
