Here's why I dislike the ending; besides it just being annoying by being contradictory and non-sensical, the ending literally destroys the entire universe's lore by killing the Mass relays.  The entire universe of characters, relationships, technology, races, relations, etc. I came to love has been completely ruined by this game's final, confusing ending.

The strange Normandy planet crash landing doesn't make a lot of sense.

Is the kid a VI representing the intelligence that is the Citadel?  That's the only way it makes sense.  Otherwise he's just some spirit or something....I don't know.  There are too many things that make no sense about this.

But the world being ruined is the worst.  It makes me feel annoyed for having ever played this series of games, honestly, I invested emotion into this the way I would any compelling story and this gigantic, unexplainable middle finger in the form of a spirit child is what I get in return.

I thought the Normandy crashed on some remote part of earth - they were in the space battle over the planet - the Reapers were targetingthe population centers - not a lot of pop to be harvesting in the jungle. That part didn't really disturb me as much as I hated not having at least one positive uplighting ending - seriously Bioware - real life suck pretty hard - would it have killed you to give us just one fluffy cloud

They didn't completely destroy the universe, the ships still have their internal 'slow' FTL drives.

Yeah I agree, while Im sad Shep died, Im even more broken up that now the entire universe is now seperated

Assuming they weren't ripped apart too, they are essentially Reaper tech.
Even then, they're confined to local clusters. And ships need support, crew, supplies, fuel. All that is gone unless you just happen to be stranded on a supply depot.

Some systems might eke through, but Sol for example is utterly doomed.
Yeah take back Earth. More like attempt to take back Earth, then give up and follow the orders of a cosmic lunatic and doom the fleets that came to help you to a slow pointless death in orbit of a dead world.

All those FTL having ships are destroyed by Relays' explosion as in arrival, along with every cluster hat has a Relay.
Normandy crew are the last living beings in the galaxy.

Actually earth can be rebuilt. its not like resources don't exist in our own little solar system.

Who will rebuild what after the total destruction of the galaxy by the explosion of the relays?

And if all ships have the gas mileage the Normandy got ... they ain't making it very far.

You and I tend to think alike in all regards. This one, no different.

No, they aren't.

Not really. They can fly across the galaxy, so long as logistics are handled... and each cluster is more or less its own economic block as well.

Bar, of course, being doomed and stuck there.

Yeah the whole planet is in ruins, I'm sure we'll get a space program up in no time and be out there farming asteroids in few months.

The stargazer ending pretty much establishes that its been a long time since the events of the Shepard cycle, and they're still stuck on remote planets across the galaxy with no interstellar travel.

You've got some very well supported opinions and the post you've written was interesting to read. I ask that you consolidate your thoughts into one of the mega threads to be sure that it is read.

Unfortunately since there are so many topics discussing this same issue I'm closing this one off.

Locked.

Even if the relays didn't blow up Arrival style, all those Turians and Quarians in the fight in the Sol System are dead. To my knowledge there is no dextro-based food for them to eat. So they are effectively going to die of starvation. Unless the Quarians have some space-magic way of creating food from nothing that I don't know about.

Those resources have been mined out to construct the Alliance's massive fleets and colonies, why do you think the Alliance sends out mining ships to planets across the galaxy?

Also, no. Earth can't be rebuilt. A 7.11 billion ton space station's mass just impacted it. On top of the massive damage done by the Reapers. It won't be habitable for centuries.

[TomY90]

that is true its annoying that all the relays got destroyed even if you save technology.

I think in general the ending is woeful in every regard (can't think of a single positive)
