To Bioware,

         
                                        I wish to thank you for the ending you gave. It made me feel like Shepard was true to their word of ending this war no matter the cost. It wasn't some Disney ending where everyone lives happily ever after, with no repercussions. Shepard either sacrificed themself to make the galaxy a more decent place, or lived even though they could never see the rest of the galaxy again (quickly you can still travel but will take a long, long time.) I thank you for not giving these so called "fans" their dream ending. Let them rant; let them whine, you made a decent ending. Yes, it could have been better, I will say, but it also could have been so much worse. Once again thank you for making this wonderful trilogy.

P.S. I know this will be trolled, and I don't care.

we don't know the repercussions because the ending gave no conclusion or falling action.

There are people who enjoyed the ending no doubt but you guys are part of a select few, according to the poll about 97% of people didn't really like/agree with the how the ending played out

[gmboy902]

Considering the fact that billions of people are stranded out among the star clusters, never to reform intergalactic society again (at least not for centuries), and Earth has become the space debris capital of the universe, I don't see how the galaxy is a more decent place.

[MattFini]

All of you people posting "well, I LIKED the ending" seem to be misunderstanding the criticism of the ending. It's NOT the downbeat nature of it, at least, not entirely.

It's that it's vague (Future Child all of a sudden?), clunky (why can't Shep investigate these decisions) and then incoherent (Normandy flying away).

Granted, it shouldn't have had to have been so grim either, but there's really no defending such nonsense like the Normandy crash ... and that's the last thing this series leaves us with before the credits. Inexcusable.

[Adamantium93]

The problem is, they promised us many, vastly different endings. And they didn't deliver.

And the plot holes, why the plot holes?

Why does Shep stop caring?

Why does the main theme, that moral dilemmas have many, equally unknown consequences, disappear?

Most people's problem with the ending has nothing to do with whether or not it was happy. It has everything to do with the fact that there was essentially one ending because we dont get to see at all the repercussions of the final choice. In all three scenarios the only epilogue type scenes we get (deserted planet and voice over epilogue) are the exact same

[RxP4IN]

Hey, everyone's entitled to an opinion. And honestly, I envy you. I'm glad you were satisfied with the ending.

To be clear, many (self included) never wanted a "disney" ending. I wanted the universe shaken up. But what upsets me is the glaring plot holes, poorly-directed conclusions, and a contrived ultimate premise. I hope you can respect that.

This.  The reprecussions (no matter what) is that all the Mass Relays got destroyed (forcing all those fleets to take YEARS to get back to their home planets, not even counting the food they need to stock up) and that the Normandy with magically all your crew is running away for some reason and crash lands on a jungle.

That's the same ending for all the renegade shepards.  That's the same ending for all the paragon shepards.

I Like the three choices.  Not liking the non-closure.

I don't care if its a happy ending or not.

I just want an ending that makes sense. One I can respect. One that gives closure.

This didn't.

*sigh*

i dont see the point in attacking fans and pretending like its a letter to bioware.....

did you email them that "letter" no... you said, "dear bioware, im glad you idoits dint get the ending you wanted. anyway, thanks bioware" the words bioware were just shields.

you say that you "save the galaxy". dude im telling you, objectively, there is no repercussions for what you do at the end. everything just explodes, the normandy crashed in the same place. credits roll. that doesnt even count not having any repercussion for playing ME1 and ME2....

[Mr. Big Pimpin]

Every time I see the phrase "Disney ending" I want to punch someone.

If it was a "Disney ending", would Legion, Thane, Mordin, Anderson, and billions and billions of others all be dead?

Nobody is asking for a "Disney ending".

[Reofeir]

I actually loved the endings, just I don't understand the normandy flying away...and sort of ol' man stargazer talking about me as if it's been eons since the ME3 ended.
Though honestly if they just make a patch having someone tell me "We told joker and your crew to fly out of sol" then I'd be 100% happy.

I agree with this.

Also, people "hating" on the Disney endings where people lived...Shepard went through a suicide mission in ME2.  If you worked hard, not only did you live, but 100% of your crew survived (note: not just your squadmates, but your CREW).

Did you hate ME2 for it's Disney ending?  No, because you could chose to **** up.  Or you could chose to have that disney ending if you worked hard enough.  That's the think with this game.  No matter what you do, you get pretty much the same ending.

That's the thing I loved about ME1 and ME2.  If you worked hard enough, and wanted a good ending, you could get one.  If you didn't, great, you could have that to.  ME3's ending took all that awesome and kinda threw a generic ending at us.

[Osiris273]

Well, I'm happy for you OP, I don't like the endings so well...

[magor1988x]

I have no problem w/Shepard dying or any of the characters dying... It's the complete bull resolution that annoys me. Who is the Catalyst? Who created the Catalyst & the Reapers? Why does the Catalyst get to play God & then give all that up to let Shepard play God?

Lets compare this to the Dragon Age Origins endings:

1) Your character makes a noble sacrifice.
2) Your character forces someone else to make that sacrafice
3) Your character cheats their way out of sacrificing anybody but probably creates a massive future evil

That was a great set of endings in my mind. It's not a Disney ending no matter which you choose, you have two choices in which someone must die & you have a choice to create a (likely) future evil.

The ME3 endings don't answer so many of the building mysteries from the Mass Effect mythos... It shows a lack of creativity & a lack of empathy for an extremely loyal & excited fanbase who have been looking forward to this answer for years, patiently awaiting the revelations to all these mysteries.

I loved every single possibility up until Shepard is beamed up to the Catalyst. All of it. The choices, the deaths, the big & small moments. I love the multiplayer too. It's the ending. And in a series like this (In particular when we know this is it for the Shepard story period) it's frustrating beyond belief that the ending is so empty & cheap.

I have to ask: how can you possibly think this was a good ending? It doesn't even fit the theme of the series! The whole series we've been making choices a good portion related to the future of different species and how they should get to that future.

The Geth were especially vocal in their belief that every species should create their own future. Both paragons and renegades could make choices in that regard. This was one of the most important themes of the series in my humble opinion. Yet here at the end I have the choice between wiping out all synthetics (this one actually fits best within the story), making everybody virtually the same (I'm sorry, I thought we were fighting to maintain our independence! If we had wanted to be the same, we could've allowed ourselves to become a Reaper), and last we could choose to dominate the Reapers (because surely one tiny human can dominate countless incomprehensible minds).

Where is all the epic stuff that was implicitly promised to us throughout the series? Where is my chance to go toe to toe with Harbinger? Where is my chance to sacrifice earth to attain victory? Where is that dark matter sun growing old too fast storyline? Where are the origins of the Reapers? Where is the explanation of why the Reapers are so incredibly similar to the Thorian? Where are Shepard's little blue children? Where are the Rachni, the ones on your side?

Why was a little boy ghost that someone pulled out of his ass approved by the rest of the development team? This ending just doesn't fit the series, at all. This ending ruins what is otherwise one of the best games ever. Seriously, hands down ****ing awesome, except for the last ten minutes.
