I have been lurking this thread since Wednesday when I found my way here through a link on the RetakeME3 Twitter.  I literally spent ALL day today reading through the thread plus various articles and watching videos.  I donated on Wednesday right after I found the chipin link, I’m probably going to add some extra to my paypal account after my husband’s paycheck posts today so I can help out with the pennies, and then when I get paid next Friday I’ll be making another donation. 

I’ve really got to go to bed now so I can get some sleep in before work tomorrow morning, but overall I just wanted to say how awesome I think everybody that’s helping with this is.  Whether you’re donating, or spreading the word, or helping create these awesome sig banners I just want to thank you all for what you’re doing.  Child’s Play is a fantastic charity and I’m happy to be a part of this.

Sorry if any of this is rambling or didn’t make sense… it’s wayyyy past my normal bedtime.

 Someone say pennies?

Hi, this is the first time I'm commenting here. Been promoting the charity drive though facebook and other ways.

I just wanted to let you all know what I heard from Brandon Keener aka Garrus. I didn't even really expect any response. I was quite shocked to get one.

Brandon Keener - can't make any comment about ME3's ending (spoilers, etc.), but kudos to you for making the lives of sick kids brighter. That is very kind!

Hope that link works.

Heh. You might want to edit the message. I think it messed up the post a little.

Funny how productive I get at 1 am. I came up with an ideal ending solution to their debacle. I think it would have been suitably epic. It's just really sad it probably won't happen.

The idea is this: The endgame is based on the Catalyst creating options because it's encountering outcomes it never planned for. These outcomes all suck, mind you, because it's thinking "inside the box." It can't actually think *outside* the box, and that's why its choices are all shades of awful.

Add option "D". Select Shepard. You start in on a movie sequence where Shepard points out that the whole reason for these options is because the Catalyst is faced with a situation it never predicted. Which by its own admission means the current cycle is progressing in a direction it can't understand. Rather than shoehorn that back into the box, it should let them turn off the Reapers and see where they go.

<cut for brevity>

I really, really like this. It definitely seems do-able, and if they're re-using footage (I imagine a lot of the back story being grainy and stuff) that would save a lot of development time in not creating entire new footage. Plus anything post-ending could simply be voiceless, so you'd only need spoken dialogue for the new "option", and that would just require ghost-god-kid and Jennifer Hale/Mark Meer, me thinks?

Still I'm glad I missed the shot. You guys know what I'm talking about.

Add option "D". Select Shepard. You start in on a movie sequence where Shepard points out that the whole reason for these options is because the Catalyst is faced with a situation it never predicted. Which by its own admission means the current cycle is progressing in a direction it can't understand. Rather than shoehorn that back into the box, it should let them turn off the Reapers and see where they go.

The Catalyst starts raising arguments about why this is a bad idea. The counterarguments Shepard uses are based on the decisions you made in the game, cuing up movie sequences based on whether you took the Paragon or Renegade path to each sequence. Did the Rachni queen live or die? Did you destroy or save the Collector base? Did you save or destroy the Geth? And so on.

Each one of these events is presented in a long, unbroken movie, which *feels* personalized for the viewer. As the events are referenced, the viewer will find themselves reliving the moments in the gameplay when they made those decisions, and it makes the whole movie sequence feel like it was tailor-made just for them.

At the end of the sequence, the Catalyst finally states that it truly doesn't understand any of this, which is when Shepard counters with that being *why* it has to happen the way Shepard sees it. Because the Catalyst's plan has been proven insufficient. Reality is simply too infinitely complex to plan every outcome for, and one of the outcomes the Catalyst could never have seen coming has in fact, happened.

Faced with the irrefutable facts of Shepard's arguments, the Catalyst allows the modification of the signal, so that it harmlessly shuts off Reapers. The energy wave does no damage to anything else.

You have a sequence similar to the end of the digital rebuild of Return of the Jedi, where you see a montage of events across the galaxy as the music plays. In the same vein, you see the Reapers fall over on Earth, then the Mass Relay spins up, locks, and fires (without exploding,) sending the signal to other relays across the galaxy.

The scene switches to Palaven briefly, showing Reapers losing momentum and drifting helplessly in the space battle above their world. It switches to Thessia, showing Reapers collapsing on the planet. It moves to Rannoch, showing the energy passing harmlessly across the planet. If you saved the Geth, the scene is a little bit longer, showing a couple of Geth stepping into the scene and looking up at the sky.

The final shot could be of Shepard and the Love Interest standing on the Normandy, looking at the Citadel in Earth orbit as the arms slowly ratchet back to their normal position, before you cut to credits.

Simple. Effective. Rewards the player. You don't even need to have any more conversational choices. Just a long movie sequence based on their decisions. THAT would not only be the epic way to end the game, it could be done without changing *anything else*. Just modify the last choice so that a new option is available, with a sequenced movie following it.

Like I said, it's simple and straightforward. Hell, if Bioware likes it, and will do it, they can use it. Just give me a mention in a credit line somewhere.

I gotta say, I would be incredibly happy if that was the way it ended.  It would take into account your choices while keeping the work Bioware would have to do to a minimum, as all they would have to do is create a cutscene for each major choice and chain them together.  The bad end (not being able to convince the kid due to past choices) could be one of the ends we have now, and they could create one more end with interchangeable clips for the good ending.

Still not the 17 endings that were promised, but satisfying nonetheless.

Thank you BioWare for listening. We love your game, and just want to know that there is purpose in playing it again and again.

Yayyyy Thank you! 

$52k! So proud of everyone here.

[rukiarei]

Good morning - or whatever it is where you are...
I see we held the line quite well in the past hours.

And we not only did we break 50k, but 52k!
Since I wanted to donate some more money as celebration for reaching 50k, I just visited ChipIn and strangley I'm having error messages 4 times in a row!?
Did we really break the thing?
Anyone else having this problem?


*EDIT* nevermind, worked on the 7th or 8th attempt.
Hold the line, for the children.

On a note compeltely unrelated to the charity, I found out how Kaidan reacts if you cheated.

Really???  How bad does he take i?

<_<....

Some parts were heinously awkward.  But I think we're finally getting the point where we could be friends again.  I'm still not sure how that date thing will play out.  Haven't gotten that far yet.

Let's face it - everything Kaidan does is pretty awkward. I had to restart and switch back to romancing Liara after the "sanity check" conversation on the Presidium. Man, was that uncomfortable watching...

Actually this was interesting, I was playing my femshep with garrus romance mind you. I really didn't think that I picked choices that said hey kaidan I want to have a relationship with you and then poof he gets all shy suddenly and asks for something more.

Sorry Kaidan, I prefer the chafing.

He didn't for me, but then...it had been abundantly clear for 3 games that Liara and my Shep had been, ahem, "embracing eternity" at every opportunity.
