Too deep for the average consumer base this company and EA believes it gets its income from, but I still loved where the writer went with this, indeed.

ya, I remember reading this before... Bioware Y U NO HIRE?

[Unlimited69x]

Me gusta.

[Encarmine]

If that had been the ending OP, I would be playing Mass Effect right now instead of writing this post.

I'll promote this.

Love that plan. One thing I would change...as it stands, the "stay and fight" choice is far too appealing, relative to the others. So, to make that ending a bit less attractive -- or at least more difficult to complet -- how about if we make that choice really, REALLY difficult to go through with, eh?

My inspiration for this is Luke in the throne room with the Emporer at the end of ROTJ (it always comes back to Star Wars, doesn't it?) How about if we make Harbinger or whoever command the
Reaper forces to target everyone Shepard knows and loves, or at least show Shepard all his loved ones in peril. After Harbinger says so be it, this is what happens, Shepard sees his friends and loved ones in pain. He cities the cities of Earth burning and being torn apart. He sees his love interest on the point of being torn apart. He sees the Normandy crew under fire, taking casualties. All the while, the option to end their suffering by choosing on the three earlier options remains prominently on the screen. You can stick with your decision to battle the Reapers, but only if you're willing to go through with it even while watching your loved ones die.

Of course, it may be necessary to tweak some of the other choices for this to make sense, but I think you get the idea.

What do you all think?

Yes.. Yes he did. Pure amazing epic mass effect. I could see it all happeneing too. Try to explain the real ending to someone who's never played the game. They'll look at you like you're an idiot. This ending though... Amazing.

... THIS IS WHAT I WANT!!!

I just want to say no to God Child. :'[

I think the problem with the current ending is that even people who HAVE played it look at you like you're an idiot when you try to explain it to them.

A final bit could be added to the end of this. The Reaper on Tuchanka rising from the ground, leaving the planet and heading back towards deep space alone and crippled; Leaving the possibility of their return some day in the far future.

[DistantUtopia]

(╯ಠ益ಠ)╯ Why is this not the ending?

Seriously though, THIS, I could have been happy with. The current ending (and yes, I mean singular) as it stands now does NOT make me want to even try replaying at all. It makes all of my effort in ME1-2 seem useless.

that's the beauty of a coherent ending though. You can explain it to someone totally new and they won't think you're an idiot who's into cheesy, badly written, childlike video games.

You try telling someone about this and they'll give you a "really?" face. And I thought 3 was supposed to be the most accessible of the mass effect games. 

[RayVelocity]

This fits Sheperd's character! No coerced, preinstalled and ridiculous choice. I just want my own choice. *And I plan to tell the story alive* like the one in ME2.
This scene is an epic, although it's not as good as ME2, because of the stupid RGB and the child part. But it's far more better than we get now!
Besides, I want to see Shep as a good father's scene.

[Lord Jayse]

OP, I think Bioware should have you "ascended" into a lead writer position for the upcoming FREE DLC update to the ending.

I love the idea.

I like how you put the "god child" as actually a avatar of Harbinger too. Would make sense that Harbinger is just trying to use a "god child" to trick Shepard.

[Amaranthy]

Awesome ending! Felt like I was reading a climax of a really good book! Well done!

[D1ck1e]

Good job with this.

[elaf000]

Maybe this is what the intended with the ending. I loved the series and ME3 was great until the end.

What if:
What if when Harbinger hits you with his beam you died and everything after that was just a flash within your last breath(and why you see the kid). This equals reapers won you lost. End
The last part with the grandfather is years later they find remains or stories of you and the legend is formed through this just like the Protheans.

[sedrikhcain]

One other tweak: I don't think simply being a completionist should = win. So perhaps require some combination of choices, or out of all choices require you to have made 3 in particular or one of a handful of combinations, in order for it to be possible to win the final battle.

ETA: what I'm doing, offering some tweaks, is relatively easy -- even if they're good, which people may not think they are. All credit to the person who wrote the original idea for the new ending. Brilliant work!

I would like to see the God Child show its real face. I would like to see Shepard realise the God Child is afraid. Then see the God Child get angry and turn into a Harbinger hologram instead of a kid.

A fourth option to shut down the God Child and his signal, leaving the Reapers intelligence greatly diminished. It would be like cutting off their communications to each other. With no chain of command they would easily get confused and be unable to focus their efforts as a team.

At that point, the combined Alliance forces would be able to co-ordinate strikes much better than the Reapers. Divide and conquer.

End results, Shepard survives by the skin of his teeth, relays stay in tact. The majority of Reapers are destroyed in the battle. A few of them retreat back into dark space.

[elaf000]

^^ Like this ^^

[Caz Tirin]

I was on the edge of my seat reading this more than I was for well over half of ME3. As many others have said here, THIS is how it should have ended. THIS is what Shepard would have done.

Shepard: *turning to the child* Oh my god... you're scared... aren't you?

Child: No.

*a Reaper above them is destroyed under a feirce volley of massed ships*

Shepard: Yes.... you are... You should have rolled over us by now.... But you didn't...

The turning point where the Starchild realizes "aw crap, we've been had!" lol

[Tonymac]

Its a far sight better than the trash Bioware handed out. Its still not super bomb unless I get to stroll off into the sunset with my LI, and I want still want my epic boss fight.

[Mersey]

this is now my ending instead. was so disappointed not seeing the destiny ascension in action.

I was expecting loads and loads of epic battles (in space and on the ground) where the different races fought together side by side, helping each other, dying together. Rachni with Krogan, Quarians with the Geth...and so on and so on. And ofcourse Volus and Hanar Commandos!!!!

We got one little scene right....bah.

Well done sir...or mam, this is brilliant.

[mastersweet]

Wow...simply reading that gave me chills, chills that I normally would get in the mass effect series but not even remotely at the ending that was put into me3.  It makes me so sad that those in charge of creating that ending were so naive that they couldn't see past their arrogance.

This ending was great, while it does have the God child, we have to remember that at this point in time we would have a hard time realistically changing it so much as to take him out.  Regardless, thank you for this ending, it was great to read and quite moving

[Curtis255]

i think i love you, no ******, lol, but it actually makes the god child make sense, like the indoc theory, the god child is harbinger, the bad guy since 2 has always been harbinger, it makes the most sense, but your dialog, i think honestly, if i think of the ending of mass effect i will think of that from now on, at least till we get what bioware releases , but i wanted to say, well, ****ing , done
