As the Citadel and Reapers all move to Galactic core.

Harbinger: Shepard you stopped us from destroying Earth and the Rest of the advances Civilizations even killing our leader and taking his place. How long till you get bored of playing god will let us go back?
Shepard (Controlling the Citadel): Not until you stop wanting till Organics.
Harbinger: That will never happen.
Shepard: Ok, then lets have some fun. All the reapers that want to kill Harbinger because destroyed your planets and forced you into a mechanical shell step forward I will be taking down his shields and weapon.
Harbinger: You are joking. . . Right . . . . . Wait my Shields went off line and power to my weapons disarmed.
Shepard: Later Harby. Fire!

So no one found a secret ending yet?


If this was any other game, I'd be happy with this ending. But this is Mass Effect: this game actively encourages us to connect with our characters and the world around them, and in the end where "all our questions would be answered", I feel like I have more questions then I had before.

Seriously, I would have been happier if the project just turned out to be a giant laser that killed all Reapers and we would have a short reunion custscene and then some text that said what happened to everyone (Jade Empire style). Not the most original ending, but it would sure as hell fit better with the overall theme then this ending did.

TL;DR: If this had been a movie, great ending. But now the game encourages us to care just to screw us and show us nothing.

there's no secret ending, non stargazer or something. You'll see it anyway with or without imports.

And NG+ also confirmed that there's no secret ending.

Maybe they didnt like the idea of secret ending with NG+ so they erased it ? But it remained in the guide, who knows.

Ive finished the game now twice with to different imported sheps from ME1 and 2 - First time with lacking war assets, i destroyed the synthetics and shep didn't survive.. 2nd time i had war assets maxed and he did survive.. Thats the only differens ive seen

[HeavenStar]

Just wanna ask, did anyone get their Shepard to survive? I'm on my first playthrough with over 5000 EMS and chose to destroy synthetics, but I can't see any indication that my Shepard survive?

Can anyone help clarify this for me please?

 Shepard will
survive
if you have over 5000 EMS and chose to destroy the Reaper

I did this, but there's no scene that was supposed to show that Shepard survived

Did I miss something?

Its a second or two clip of a charred body and n7 tag gasping for air.

Well, that didn't appear for me. Strange... I wonder if this is because this is a PC version? But that doesn't make sense.

@PDesign: XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

back to the sim though,

If this is truly the ending, ill never buy a bioware product again. Even if they "fix"things in DLC ill be very reluctant to purchase anything they make again. Either EA pushed them hard, or BW had an epic case of **** the last few minutes of the sim and had to call in emergency dork script writers that somehow had enough power to bypass quality control and common sense.

"OR" they chopped this game up so bad thanks to EA's greedy attitude that all of the things we want are DLC....and expensive.

I'll buy DLC if it means I get actual closure. The worst feeling besides being confused by the vague ending is that ...didn't BW say something about having a special event for those players who had Sheps that stayed faithful to squadmates throughout the games. I found it odd that Liara seemed to think we were just friends in ME3 considering my femshep expressed feelings for her in the very first game, and then again in the Shadow Broker DLC. Having sex before life threatening battles doesn't equate to a loving relationship BW.

Honestly, dunno if i'd buy dlc for better ending.... I do think that the choices at the end suck and just seem wrong.
Assuming a character mainly based on paragon
1/ He is not likely going to betray EDI or geth if they are still in your game, so outright destroying all Synthetics doesn't seem likely
2/ Taking control of reapers is to much like playing with fire, not only that but if it includes EDI and geth then Shepard is not the type of character to take away free will.
3/ Synthesis, feels like a copout.... Would Shepard believe that he has the right to decide for the entire galaxy, both synthetic and organic, to forcefully evolve them. It seems like another case of ignoring free will.

Putting these together with the whole gonna die just as victory arrives, and destroying the relays therefore cutting off large numbers of colonies and increasing the amount of chaos and likely resulting in the death of god knows how many.
Surely there could be a 'good' ending,
eg. Crucible 'fires' sending a signal composing a computer virus specific to reapers rendering them into glorified paperweights and without destroying the mass relays. Therefore saving the surviving races, geth, and EDI.

(Apologies if someone already had these thoughts, read the first page then replied).

Same here ... no paragon ending for me with this three choices.
Love the game but I feel a little bit disappointed with the ending choices, there is no really difference between them.

[Harorrd]

theres no data that indicates for a hidden ending, theres 3 magic endings, nothing more

[MouseNo4]

At the time i completed the game on the weekend, i had 4800 EMS. I chose to destroy. Anderson died after TIM forced Shep to shoot him. TIM committed suicide. Shepard lived. Joker, Liara my LI and Garrus my squad mate exited the Normandy. Got the ''stargazer'' speech post credits.

Come to think of it,
How the hell did Joker/Normandy manage to get from earth to the mass relay (that i believe is on outer edge of sol or at least a good distance away) faster than the blast wave that is traveling faster than it while still being in a combat situation?
Also would the crew of the normandy just abandon the others anyway?
And another, in a certain DLC released for ME2 didn't we see what would happen to systems located near exploding Mass relays?
Honestly, i understand that such a war isn't likely to have a good ending with everyone feeling right as rain at the end, it just seems like there are too many inconsistencies for some endings, especially what i just mentioned.
Considering how long Shepard strives to increase the military forces and everything else, it seems a bit harsh that
1/ Get all races working together, max readiness and military forces= Burns, bullet wounds, mental health issues ending in a likely painful death IF you choose the 'right' choice while awaiting rescue from your crew and ship that hightailed it out of there....... OR
2/ Half Ass it, do the absolute minimum and charge in with the three stooges (Asari, Turian, and salarian) = Accomplish the same objective and get a relatively quick painless death.

Come on bioware, wheres the motivation to play this game to the full?

[Shock n Awe]

 In addition to the pointed out inconsistencies/dissapointments (Why/How was the Normandy travelling in a Mass Relay, how could squadmates [they all are] on Earth be on the Normandy, and the cop out ending), there's one thing many people forgot:

Throughout the entire game series and in the Codex, it states that a Mass Relay exploding will render all habitable planets inhabitable in the system it explodes in.

This means that not only could Shepard have been on the ruined Earth (as per the "Shepard Lives" ending), but all life on Earth would have died seconds after the relay exploded and incinerated everything in the system (including all allied vessels and persons on them).

In addition, this means that you have inadvertantly killed millions in the few systems the Reapers had not yet been to (but had a relay), killed anyone still fighting the Reapers in any system they were in, killed everyone on the fleet, and killed virtually anyone anywhere near a relay (read: nearly every civilization met in the game, including races without spaceflight such as the Yahg).  The only people I could have seen making it through would be the civilization that was cut off, as alluded to in the Cerberus Daily News stories in Mass Effect 2, in addition to a couple of such scattered colonies and hereto unknown species.

To further add, the probability of the Normandy dropping out of the middle of a relay jump onto any planet, let alone a hospitable one, or indeed inside any given solar system, are astronomical.

I loved the game the entire way through, but the ending was atrocious, and I have created my own ending in my mind and supplanted the given endings.

It is not only the Charon relay exploding - the Citadel is the biggest relay of them all, exploding in orbit over the Earth. Even if they retcon the "exploding relay wipes out life" fact, you still have something the size of an asteroid about to fall onto the Earth - dinosaurs anyone?

[ket_shee]

Did anyone else get the ending where Windows Vista blue screens on you and your hard drive resets? I think you have to have ME3, a DVD, an Avi file, YouTube, and Grooveshark running, along with an EMS well beyond a long integer to get it. Personal experience.

[Tester123]

BTW, some of the game movies are rendered in-game; i.e., you won't find *.bik files for everything. This is the one hope I have that the "secret ending" is still a part of the game versus it being a DLC item. Although I haven't found it in the movies folder, there could still be some movie sequence just waiting to render once I do the right things...
