Just finished the game. I can actually live with the end. The only real thing I'm still discussing in my head is wether I should've chosen Ashley again instead of Miranda. But I have one question!

- What planet does the Normandy crash on in the end? Earth or does the crew have to repopulate some garden planet now?

And two smaller questions:

- Why was the Normandy doing in what appeared to be a mass relay 'shot' through space?

- What did Garrus do there, I had him in my squad in London. He should be there, dead or alive.

Actually that's why people have a problem with these endings. Lots of plot holes and info missing.

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows. The Normandy thing is the biggest problem with the endings, it really just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Earth, and EDI drove the Normandy into the sun. ME-verse is actually 150,000 years before our current timeline.

Thanks, I didn't miss something then. I know I shouldn't, but here is another one: did those hundrerds of other ships around earth also crash?

Yep, nobody knows. Also with the Mass Relays gone those that didn't crash will have a hard time getting home. Basically, it's best not to think about the end too much. They more you do the more questions you'll have

Would have liked to know about that sooner since I did think about it and now I am confused. But to ask does one ending give more than another one?

Not really, the only big difference is the endings are the colour of the space magic that is sent out. The relays still get blown up, the Normandy still lands on some planet etc..

Yeah...I think if you try real hard you get a 5s clip of you breathing though.

And it can't be Earth since the fast forward scene at the end of the credits features what looks to be a planet and second satellite, assuming the scene takes place on the first. Who knows.

I had the same problem, EDI was with me in the final push but she appeared and hugged Joker. My guess is that there could be a times lapse and your squadmates didn't die, but instead managed to escape.

Why Joker is piloting the Normandy away is beyond me. I guess it's an homage to Mass Effect 2, out running the neutron pulse.

Clearly it's Ilos 2.

If the "it can't be Earth" was in reference to my previous post, it was a joke.

[pumpkinpirate]

I assume they go "Lord of the Flies" on each other.

Maybe the crew went through a wormhole of some kind and are in another dimension? Or galaxy?
Or maybe that's heaven? A very green heaven.

[Reiisha]

Doesn't matter what planet it is, it's not real anyway.

If it is, or its intended to be, Bioware has some incredibly bad writers indeed ;p

[Dark_Caduceus]

Maybe it's... the Stargazer planet... Oh God, please say it isn;t do.

Are you suggesting that the Normandy crew some how turn into the Taung?

Even that wouldn't fix these endings.

...with the endings we got - anything is possible Just remember - all kinds of species inbreeding is going on if they can't get off the planet.

[True Zarken]

Don't remind me. The thought that if I did start playing ME3 with my canon Shepard that Tali and Ash would be stranded on that planet does not sit well with me in the slightest (gotta keep everything PG). =P

The Taung, an inbred race of an Asari, Turian, Quarian, and Human who later became the Mandalorians? Slightly improves upon the endings we've got. =P

My take on magically appearing squadmates: When Shep and Anderson vanished Joker picked up your friends from Earth and on their way to Cİtadel to help/save Shep and Anderson.

They caught up in Citadel's explosion and landed to what seems like Africa. Plants and birs' noise sounds too familiar. Nearest Mass Relay to Earth is near to Pluton so there is no way they caught up in blowing up relays.

Also just read an interesting take on endings so that kinda answers my big question with ending... Where is Shepard?

One of the Bioware art guys has a DeviantArt account, and judging from some of his concept work on there, i would guess eden prime

[Buchberg]

But in "The Arrival" DLC, we learn that detonating a Mass Relay will destroy the whole solar system where it is placed.

The thing that bothers me about the ending of ME3 is that instead of feeling like I accomplished something big by playing all three games with all the dlc and whatnot and getting rewarded for it, I instead feel like they (EA/Bioware) are punishing the gamer (in this case, me) by taking away any influence the consequences of my actions had over the outcome of the game, and removing everything I worked so hard to build.

But you know what the worst part aside from not seeing the consequences of the ending is?! You can't skip any of the dialogue when you go back to see the other endings! You have to suffer through all of it again. >.<

I am more than a little bit disappointed by the ending. The only ending that is remotely acceptable plot-wise is the one where Shepard sacrifices himself to unite organics and synthetics. But it still has HUGE plot holes, and for a story that spans three games, this is just so tragic. :/

WHY did they choose this? It makes no sense at all! They should have had Peter F Hamilton write the end of this trilogy!

One thing, however, that I did like was that there were so many repeating patterns/cycles in the stories, both interpersonal and on a larger scale.
Since the ending pretty much let us - the gamers - down, I'm hoping that the next game will focus on this:
We have a vast galactic society comprised of many different species and government.
Suddenly, this is all crippled by the detonation of the Mass Relay network.
In the epilogue, we hear that this happened "so very long ago".
Perhaps the story in the next game will take place, say, 70 or 100 years later, and the plot will have to do with rebuilding the Mass relays and re-establishing contact and trade routes with different systems.
Sounds a bit like the old Megatraveller series, hey? Not a bad thing, though.
