 Regarding ME3's less-than-stellar ending.

First!  Some background, in case you aren't familiar with the five stages of grief!

Stage 1:  Denial

"LOL get out of town, Bioware would never do this!  Obvious troll is obvious."

You don't want to believe what you're hearing, so you try to convince yourself that what you're hearing is bullcrap.  Eventually, of course, you begin to second guess yourself.  As the details become more vivid, this stage quickly morphs into:

Stage 2:  Anger

"OH MY GOD THEY DID DO IT, FUUUUUUUUUUU--"

Outraged and betrayed, you curse the Gods for your misfortune.  Depending on the circumstance, chairs may be broken and a new monitor may be necessary.  Once the rage subsides, you realize your anger has changed nothing.  You quickly change your strategy to:

Stage 3:  Bargaining

"Please sweet baby James, let there be an alternate ending DLC.  If we're lucky, maybe it will even be made canon!!  Please Bioware, I'll pay you."

You quell your anger enough to beg the Gods you were cursing mere minutes ago for a more agreeable solution.  You wait and you wait, and nothing happens.  With your prayers unanswered, you fall into a state of catatonic _____:


Stage 4:  Depression

"They're not listening.  Sweet baby James has forsaken me.  Bioware has forsaken me.  Why did Sovereign need to interface with Citadel directly if Guardian lives there?!  ARGH!  They don't even care what their egregious plot holes and terrible plot devices are doing to me."

You begin to realize your struggles are in vain.  You are powerless to change what has transpired--  a stinging reminder of your own mortality!  EA's profit soars higher as you sink lower, until...

Stage 5:  Acceptance

Bioware:  "We think players, you included, actually like how we handled the end.  Thank you for playing!"
You:  "Okay"

Bridges have been burned, galaxies have been destroyed.  Realizing that things will never be the same, you press on nonetheless.  You're all the wiser for the next time.  Perhaps you'll try talking with your money next time.  But probably not.


SO!  Which stage are YOU currently at?  Personally, I'm still pissed as hell!

Edit:  This editor seems to be kind of buggy.  Also, apparently I can't post pics yet -.-

The endings should now be discussed in the Story and Campaign forum. Thank you.

End of line.
