Liara:"So tell me Shepard, if it all ends tomorrow, what happens to us?"
Shepard:"Idk, marriage, old age and lots of little blue children?"
L: "You just.... say these things..."
......
L: "so, if we're going to try this, I need to know you're always coming back."
S: "idk, that's a pretty big promise to make."
L: "Ohhhh, is it?"
S: "I need something special to come back to."
L: "I am...open to suggestions..."

My heart was melted when I read these lines after beating Shadow Broker. But now my heart is torn to know that all these beautiful scenes are meaningless. Because you know what? In the end, ME3 does not even tell me what happened to all my squats, planets and lovers. With a good chance that Shepard died, Liara would be totally emotionally cracked up for losing Shepard twice, but somehow BW just didn't think about it.

The ending...*sigh*... man, I didn't play ME series for 4 years, stay loyal to Liara just to watch how these becomes all irrelevant in a fake-philosophical ending. Where is my Shepard? Where is "marriage, old age and lots of little blue children?" Where is "You're always coming back?" Where is my ship and my crew? Where is...

I'm just pouring out a little emotion here. But I am really heart-broken. Bioware has the power to create amazing characters to draw me in, but unfortunately they also have the power to crack players up by making them meaningless. I guess the best solution I can think of is to not play for a while - a long while - and focus on real life.

Bioware, you surely know how to break a fan's heart.

good god seriously.

The ending is terrible. Simply terrible.

I have to say the strong reaction to the ending is a testament of just how much Bioware has drawn us to the Mass Effect universe.

Here's to hoping that Bioware will find a suitable solution in bring at least peace/hope to the ending for those that wanted it.

Doesn't mean the entire game was ruined. A story is not the only element that makes up a game. Even if you think the ending was bad (I am on the fence) I still enjoyed much of the story throughout the game.

You sound troubled, but I can't hold that against you. I agree, Bioware can write great characters; however, they seem to have lost the ability to write a good plot. How was the mystery of the Reapers answered? By introducing an even more mysterious, omnipotent entity!!!

Edit: @mrjoshiepoo

You're right the game was great. It lacked some choice (shepard auto-dialogued too much--to the point of contradiction), but it was a stellar work by Bioware--that is the art, graphic, sound, etc. teams. The writers did great, but they really dropped the ball. Unfortunately, this ending is the defining point of the series--what everything has led to. Very disappointing.

You should find whoever decided to write that, knowing what would happen, and punch him/her repeatedly in the balls/vag.

Cortez showed up on that planet with Joker and Edi... how the hell did he even get back to the normandy in the first place?

Kind of agree with you on this. It is like Bioware had no anwsers to the Reapers to begin with.

Beam me up Scotty?


Makes about as much sense as any other way...

I give Bioware credit that they know how to write fantastic characters that you come to care about, but their story writing is definitely shown as lacking compared to other studios like Bethesda. I suppose we can't get both in a game.

Also, does anyone think that the epilogue is a lead-in to post-ending DLC or another trilogy similar to what is happening with Halo?

[Rain Island]

But it's not even hard to create a decent story. I mean look at DA:O. I cannot say their story is the best ever, but it's really really good because the story connects characters. Characters matter the most so as long as they are good, story does not have to be super eye-catching. Even if the story is a little bit hollywood-cheesy, I'll still buy it. But to end the story like in ME3 in which there is no explanation, no real choice and no future to place hope upon, that is just disgusting.

Wrong. Not only is the entire game ruined. The entire series is.

[teelahtwee]

I completely agree. Everything achieved in the first two games, all of the choices you make to get up to the end, they're just moot. The game, the soundtrack, the characters were incredible. But when it came time for the ending, it all just... fell apart. I sincerely hope that BioWare takes into account how betrayed their fans feel. Why would you create characters that you fall in love with, an entire squad of people you've spent the last 4 years playing with, only to completely fail to implement any closure whatsoever?

It's an understatement to say I'm "heartbroken".

Garrus and I were going to adopt children after we discussed that our biology made it impossible to bare taurien-human children on our own! lol

[Stanley Woo]

The endings are already being discussed in several other threads in this forum. You didn't need to make another one. Thank you.

End of line.

[SumoPanda17]

i want an ending where you can ONLY kill the reapers, get back to the normandy, and go to Rannoch and build a house for Tali
