You're not alone. I would love a happy ending. That's actually what I tried to work for in all three games with my character.And yes, the Mass Relay destruction is a huge frustration, because no matter what you've done they get destroyed.

I have multiple Sheps and one of them worked their butt off for a happy ending. The others are fine with
bitter sweet and devastating but not her. Happy might not be for everyone but it should be there for those who want it.

I happy to know someone agrees with me, over on the Gamefaqs boards an ally is hard to find lol.

EDIT: To balance it out, have an ending where you can order the Normandy to ram Harbinger and go down in a blaze of glory!

EDIT 2: As for my favorite part, I had alot, but the charge to the conduit with Harbinger shooting at you and the other soldiers was just plain epic.

i loved EVERYTHING about mass effect 3 until the reaper beam nearly hit shep.

everything after that was pure metaphysical garbage.

i'm not even going into details about whether choice A or B or C is better, because they're clearly half-baked notions following nonsensical events.

bioware, if you're going to do a mind-games ending, it's gotta be consistent, it's gotta be GROUNDED, and it's gotta be clear. you don't take the player from the clear and present reaper threat (the last player action is pretty much the missiles bit with EDI (which was great)) to some la-la land where 'higher concepts' can be hashed out.

Go ask Visceral for help - Dead Space 2 had a great mind-games ending:



but seriously, that was pedestrian. it doesn't even belong in the same game as the rest of ME3, which was otherwise a completely superlative experience.

We understand there is a lot of debate on the Mass Effect 3 ending and we will be more than happy to engage in healthy discussions once more people get to experience the game. We are listening to all of your feedback.

In the meantime, let's give appreciation to Commander Shepard. Whether you loved the ME3 ending or didn't or you just have a lot of questions, he/she has given many of us some of the best adventures we have had while playing games. What was your favorite moment?

So why are you listening?
Are you listening because you know something more than whole comunity and you like being yerk who holding all cards ?
Or are you listening because you are satisfied  with endings only want to know how much fans from your fanbase you can lost with this step

Yeah. I think if they had stuck with their "ever-changing ending depedning on choices made during missions and side missions" a happy ending would almost have to be expected, just harder to get. Which I would have absolutely no problem working towards.

I agree with you, and I would also add this: Even if a completely "happy" ending was available, I might not choose it. Sometimes a story is more compelling with a little tragedy in it. The possibility of winning, however, makes loss much more poignant. The reverse is true as well... knowing some of the gut-wrenching tragic possibilities of the game (Tali's "I'm sorry..." comes to mind) makes avoiding them much more rewarding. It is the range and scope of the possible outcomes that makes the player's choice meaningful.

[Jazharah]

Call me strange but I actually really, really liked the ending.

I expected no less than that Shepard needed to be sacrificed, and I think and feel it was portrayed gloriously.

Favorite moment? The walk to the central beam, the heavy percussion banging with every step, the sights of Earth burning at that moment.

Talk about a blaze of glory...

What really, really bothers me is the petitioning to get Bioware to change it. Because that essentially means you think everything should be majority rule, that, essentially, nothing that <50% of people enjoy should ever be created. And, with all the power Bioware has in the industry, that scares me. A whole lot.

You know, I'm going to take a step back and say that's a perfectly valid reason to worry over the controversy ad petitions. Whether you agree on whether or not it's art or whether or not you can change art, that's not exactly an unreasonable fear nor is it an entirely impossible outcome.

However, on the flip side, various works of literture (and in some cases, art- dating back to the renasaince) have been changed due to the outcry of people to the given author or artist. In the majority (I have to say majority to leave room for error, but I personally can't find cases of them NOT beind so) the works have benefitted from the input and change. Just as an example, one of the most iconic pieces of literature, Sherlock Holmes.

It is an incredibly fine line and normally, I don't think I'd ever want to cross it. In this case though, I just really have no other expression for my feelings or conclusions. To much unanswered, not enough explained, and ultimately... not what BioWare promised. I think if it wasn't for that last part and the misleading advertising and way they portrayed the series, I doubt I- and I daresay anyone else- would make this strong of a push; and in the end, if we get trully differing endings and the choices between them, I don't see how anyone gets hurt from it... so while I thank you for an icnredibly reasonable argument, and one I promise to keep in consideration at all times, I have to say- respectfully- that I'm still going to hold out for something better, and still ask for BioWare to deliver that product; at the end of the day, no matter how many people feel about Mass Effect, it's a product that was sold, by a company, and I'm a consumer- Leonardo wasn't selling the Monalisa, but BioWare IS selling Mass Effect. I'm sorry we're on opposite sides of the fence, and I do sincerely hope this doesn't result in damaging your enjoyment of the game or bring about your worse fears; hope you, and other people on the 'other side of the fence' can believe that, even though I've no desire in giving up on my own enjoyment.

 I'd say my favorite moment is the Renegade interupt you can pull on the reaper on rannoch.  Truly an awsome moment.

LOL@Thinking that buying someone's game/book/painting means you own their company.

The writers have every right to end the game in any way they please, however, it is also the consumers right to react. If the writer changes his or her mind it won't be because of any "demands", it will be because the consumers have a point. And unless there are protests, how will the writers know?

I can give you endless amount of references to books, arts and even interactive media where changes are made. volontarily, because of changes on their own mind etc.. , even because of protests. But in the end it isn't about that. It is more complex than that. If a writer doesn't please the readers, then the writer would most likely have a much harder time in the future. The writer is a business after all, and unless the writer is willing to sacrifice significant portions of his or her future income, the writer should at the very least listen.

But having the position that now that the ending is written, it cannot be changed is just plain wrong. If it is changed, it should be changed for the right reasons.

If you have seen the notes from the final days of ME3 (they were posted here and later removed, because the forum literally exploded, and they were copyrighted) you could have seen that BioWare had no clue on how to end the game. They worked on it until the very end (at which point I suspect EA came down with the literal hammer, for good or bad) This in itself suggests that even BioWare was looking for a better way to end it.

And here is the opportunity. A very... very... significant part of the players think this is an abyssmally bad ending. If so BioWare chooses, could at least sit down at the table and work an ending out with it's fan base, which they repetedly claim "helped build the Mass Effect universe" (this was from Casey himself by the way) If not for any other reason than that they themselves had trouble ending it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with changing ones mind, as long as it is for the right reason. They could even remove the ending entirely, and let it end with the blast. Shepard died, game over. But then the fleet strength etc.. could actually count for something and depending on your preparations, the galaxy would be in a good or apocalyptic state after the resolution.

With all that said, we as consumers have no right whatsoever to demand anything at all. Nor do they (BioWare) have the obligation to change. But they have an obligation to fulfill, especially when promises (that are now broken) are made. At the very least they should listen, and if critisisms are sound, at the very least 'evaluate' if changes can be made. Otherwise you're alienating your consumers, and it will ultimately hurt their income... The starving artist and all that.

I invested a lot of my time in the Mass Effect series, and I still am. With the exception of the fact that I would have rather shot the Illusive Man in the head at the outset of Mass Effect 2 and proceeded from there, the series has generally left an extremely good impression on me. I've actually lost count of how many times I replayed Mass Effect 2. Mass Effect 3 is also amazing in many respects. I love Bioware and nearly every game by them that I've played.

Touching on Mass Effect 3, though, I cannot honestly say that I love this game. Bioware had my heart and wallet trapped right up until (it seems) I discovered an executive decision was made sometime during the production process to dispense with the idea that people could choose their own destinies near the end of the game. I won't reiterate any/all of the things that bothered me about it, as I'm sure I'd only be echoing a few thousand people's complaints, but suffice it to say that my disappointment in Mass Effect 3's ending(s) (and the "Tali stock photo" controversy) have been fuel enough for me to stop being one of the silent majority of Mass Effect 3 players and join the much more vocal minority.

I won't demand that Bioware rewrite the endings or release new endings in the form of $10-$15 DLC. I just wish they would explain themselves, whether it be through a formal apology or even just saying 'Hey, you know, this is why we did x, y and z.' Speaking from a user's standpoint, I actually literally got a headache trying to rationalize Bioware's train of thought for a couple of the more controversial things that were left in-game.

i feel like if i had played the game all the way up to the last 5 minutes i'd have a favorite moment, but because the end messed up everything I felt like i accomplished throughout the game, if the... i'll just say "popular theory" isnt true then I feel like everything I did made no difference, and I cant have a favorite moment cuz i regret every second i took playing a me game... harsh but true

Hmm, I thought I had, actually. Anyway, when it comes down to it, there's no problem with people hating the ending. It's actually a good thing. I think people have a fundamental right to complain -- I mean, it would be pretty boring if we all liked the same things. And I've gotten a little angry talking about the actual ending because of my anger at the petition topic, so I apologize -- it's separate. I like the ending, but if it didn't work for you, that's cool.

What really, really bothers me is the petitioning to get Bioware to change it.

And, with all the power Bioware has in the industry, that scares me. A whole lot.

It seems that you lack a historical perspective.

Artists have been adjusting their art to satisfy their customers for... well, for ever, really. Michelangelo appeased the Church, Mozart catered to his patrons, and almost every working artist has done work on commission. Films are screened for test audiences, and adjustments are made based on their reactions. None of this detracts from the status of a work as "art."

Ultimately, it is the decision of the artist to indulge or ignore feedback from patrons. In this case, the decision rests entirely with EA and BioWare as to how to respond to this outcry, and I think everyone knows and acknowledges that. If they choose to release an alternative ending, that is an artistic choice, even if it is made in response to customer demand. The petitions and charitable contributions are not an effort to force EA or BioWare into action, because that cannot be done. These are simply efforts to demonstrate the depth and sincerity of people's feelings on this issue.

Sometimes, the "majority rule" at which you sneer leads to a better work of art. You don't have to look very far before you find examples of artists whose quality decreased as their autonomy increased - Lucas and Rowling come immediately to mind. Focus groups are used for a reason, and while they may be overused and abused, they can also be invaluable. Go read what Drew Karpyshyn has said about the importance of a good editor, who is separated from the creative process and able to provide objectivity.

It is the nature of art that to some extent it exists in the perceptions of its audience. That's why art is subjective. Sometimes an artist can only fully understand their own work when they see it through some else's eyes. I think you should give BioWare a chance to make that decision. Perhaps Casey Hudson and his team will consider how the ending plays for us, and change his mind about how it should unfold, or perhaps they will simply lament that we seem not to understand it in the way it was intended.

This is a work of art that was always intended to be modified and augmented by DLC, so I would argue that until the last DLC is finished it remains a work in progress.

Honestly though, the very fact that this thread exists is a movement is in the right direction.

However, it's disturbing to see how surprised the developers are with the community's reaction. This speaks volumes about their development process and how out of touch they are with the people who adore them so.

Why is it so difficult to simply have a few fan questions answered in a spoilered section without being stonewalled?

[Deteramot]

The problem with this ending, that a lot of people have felt but apparently few have seen the need to clarify, is that it's basically lacking in any sort of emotional connection. There's no feeling that anything you've done up to the ending has really, in any tangible way, meant anything. You get that feeling throughout the story, but then the ending takes all of the continuity and just kinda sets it aside. The ending is ultimately futile. Oh sure, if you have a high enough EMS you get slightly better versions of... one of the endings. But ultimately the endings make everything you've done prior pointless.

To counter the analogy EternalAmbiguity was using earlier, about death and this argument being analogous to saying that your life sucks because you'll die eventually: the way this ending hurts the story is not by making everything before suck. I think we can all agree that, prior to the ending, the game was great. The other two games are great. What the ending does is make all the decisions you made in the rest of the game and the two prior games meaningless. It's more like dying and then discovering that, upon your death, anything you did in life that was important ceased to be. The ending doesn't feel connected to the story. It doesn't match the tone of the universe. All it does is attempt to be edgy and polarizing.

I've seen the ending compared to DE:HR's ending. And I think it's a pretty good contrast. First of all, the major difference between the endings is that Human Revolution is a prequel. We already know what the outcome of the end-game decision will be. This makes it perfectly okay for the ending to be emotionally disconnected. Because in the end, the decision doesn't matter. Additionally, each of the endings fits the tone of the game. HR is dark, and is less of an "epic adventure" and more of a dystopian "What if?" Human Revolution's ending merely exemplifies a point in the game: that people aren't very good, and they aren't very nice, and that even someone with the best intentions can end up ****ing things up.

ME3's endings don't fit with the rest of the story. The first two games are very optimistic. There's a strong feeling that, in the end, things will be alright. Even at the darkest points in the first two games, things are always going to turn out alright. While I do agree that ME3 in general doesn't fit that tone, there's still a message there that if you really work hard, and try your damndest, and push and push and push, you can make it through anything. I can't remember the exact quote, but it's interesting to note that "Eve" tells you as much. To have that message subverted in the ending... actually wouldn't be that bad. It would be a better ending. What the ending we have does is say that that message doesn't matter. Hope doesn't matter. Nothing really matters. If this were a different game, with a different tone and in a different genre, that ending would be perfect (though it could still use a slight bit more cleaning up.) But because it's supposed to be a conclusion, and because it was said that it would be a real ending, where the decisions you've made matter, the non-ending we get feels empty.

The other point, which I'm putting in a new paragraph because I can't seem to stop typing words, is that the ending doesn't really finish any of the other character's storylines. It doesn't address the consequences of Shepard's decision. It doesn't address how any of the other characters finish out their lives. It doesn't address how Stargazer and his kin can even come into being, what with there being maybe 6 eligible females and many more males. Though that last point is more of a fridge logic moment. The point is that the ending doesn't really end anything. It's more of a "SO THERE" kind of ending than anything else.

The fact of the matter is that the ending was not satisfying to a large percentage of Bioware's fanbase. We've spoken out here and gotten non-responses and cryptic replies. We've spoken out through our actions, and gotten nothing. Hell, we even spoke out with our wallets in someways, by donating to Child's Play. That's a lot of money that Bioware will never see because they didn't give us a satisfying conclusion. And maybe that's a bit entitled. But from an art standpoint, there's no artistic integrity to writing an epic story and then finishing it with a cop-out ending. From a producer's standpoint, you're failing to deliver a product that lives up to the advertising and the hype. From a consumer's standpoint, I'm sure as hell not going to be buying anything else from Bioware. Now, to be fair, I wasn't likely to anyway. I despise EA, and would rather do anything else than support their profitmongering ways. But I bought ME3 despite those reservations because I hoped it would be worth it. I still think it was. I enjoyed the game right up until the ending. But that ending has turned me away from Bioware. If they release a proper ending as free DLC, I might forgive them and buy paid DLC they release afterward. If they release a proper ending as paid DLC, I'll buy it, and then wash my hands of the company and never look back. I just want my Shep, a character who I developed and designed and cared about so strongly... to have an ending worthy of the emotional investment.

.... How the hell did I just write 6 paragraphs?

Please note that all of the above is my opinion. I like to think I managed to capture the grievances of the people in the same corner as me, but if you want to clarify any of my points, please feel free. Additionally, I welcome your dissenting arguments. I want to see it from your point of view. Why do you think the ending was satisfactory? Or, if you don't, why will you continue to support Bioware despite the unsatisfactory conclusion? I've done my best to show what I think. Please give the same courtesy. We're all people. We don't need to devolve to pointless namecalling.

That burned everybody else in the entire galaxy.

Seriously, what's the point of having uplifiting moments of brilliance such as curing the genophage or finally getting Tali her homeworld back and stopping a 300 year old conflict when it's all for naught because you either killed almost everybody by destroying the mass relays, or you've stranded them utterly, meaning that Tali and her people will never even get to see the homeworld they just got back again?

Especially when in at least one of the endings, the relays blowing up just seems to happen "just 'cause!"

[Astiaks]

I hope the ending never changes, because I'm so sick of seeing people cry, not because the ending didn't show much, but because their shepard died. Seriously, you're gonna die too someday you know. What are you gonna do then? Ask god to change your ending?!

[KilR8]

As I have said on your facebook page: 


I have to say something about this, Mass Effect 3 was a very good game, the story continuation from #2 was well done but as what most have been saying is that the ending was poorly thought of at best. It isn't the fact that is was a "sad" ending but more in line with the fact that people do not agree with the way that Bioware had taken so much time into making Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 and then just making an end where it seems as if they just ignored what they previously worked on, it was rushed to put it simply as well as feeling abrupt. Bioware works so hard on the whole "lore" of the game to simply throw it away in the end and simply cant understand why, nor can the majority of people who have played it. The end has no substance, I imagine the people at Bioware thought that since it's the ending let's make it memorable, but it simply came across as rubbish. My personal opinion however is that Mass Effect 3 as designed for the new-player in mind, someone who hasn't played 1 and 2 can simply play it thus the simple ending that after all the time people spent in ME1 and 2 was narrowed down to 3 choices.

To sum things up, most people who have bought this game do like the story leading up to the end, but what they do not like is that they are left with the feeling that the time they spent in Mass Effect 1 and 2 was simply for nothing.

@Forum: Guys keep the rubbish typical macho online behaviour down to a minimum and let Bioware cleanly read through this thread, maybe they will change the ending or atleast put it context with what we have been waiting for, for 5 years. 

@Bioware: Before you think that I am just bashing your games, I am not. Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 are masterpieces but most, if not all are unhappy with one major point in the series and as you know, that's the conclusion to 5 years of joy. I hope that we get an altered ending. Lastly, you may have already read this article but if you guys have not: this is probably the one article that best sums up every problem and the disappointment of the "fans" (

 I know its going to sound like pure trolling, but it isnt i promise..

I actually liked all 3 endings to mass effect, preferrably the one where you just destroy the reapers( i picked that originally anyways).. I know alot of folks were praying or rather expecting something else, and mabye they will provide that with some dlc later on down the road.. But if not it was satisfying enough for me.

I expected after playing through that game to the end that I would be getting screwed over royal.. considering you get to be a badass all the way from me1 to now, so it was kinda refreshing for me to get that bioshock 1 feeling... like i had no control over my situation and all my choices previous meant jack in the eyes of something actually more powerful then myself.

*puts on tinfoil hat* ok guys flame away. i wont be reading your responses anyways, but i wanted to put in my 2 cents.. im sure since im not a pure bio-fanboy it will be disregarded and someone will try to say something about my new account, lack of me lore, inablity to see the difference between a good ending and a real one, or my personal fav.. something about my mother in a vulgar catagory, if i missed something let me know.

oh and heres this for good measure! 
ps: everyone loves smileys, enjoy!

[Sir Fluffykins]

I've already said what I like and didn't like but here's an idea of what I'd like, as flawed as it is.

Simple, leave it as is, but give us the option to shoot the kid as well, revealing all the choices as tricks by Harbingers Indoctrination, I know I tried shooting the kid thinking it was all indoctrination, because of the dreams where following the kid results in FIRE.
Then whether Shepard lives or dies, whether the Reapers are beaten or not, whether crew members survie or not, whether we see Racnhi and Batarians plays out. Most of the characters say stuff they want to do with you, if Shepard survives you can meet Tali, if she survives on the Homeworld and see how the Geth are doing again depending on what you did, meet Jacob in ruined Rio and if Anderson made it or not, visit the Great Rumble of London. You know...closure and most of all based on what has been done before.
You did it in ME1, did it more so in Me2, so how did ME3 fall late...I'm not usually a "fan-boy" about anything but this hit me hard.

Okay Remember a part I loved. I loved Udina's character, I viewed him as the "bad guy" in ME1, but in ME3 you mangaed to make me like him...at least until. Good job.

[Ricky_Ragu]

Am I the only one who actually enjoyed the ending?

It was not a conventional, hollywoodish, mainstream ending. For me it was something more visceral, a more personal ending.

If you have invested yourself across these years on your own Shepard and your crew and the whole saga, you should see that your Shepard's adventure had to finish this way: in a heroic, but personal ending.

I'm a gamer for many many years and never a ending of a game made me feel what Mass Effect made feel. This whole trilogy just elevates the gaming industry to a whole new level.

And about the ending, I don't find it poor at all! I actually find it the most clever ending I've seen on a game. Bioware has a created a big plot and they're all fooling us. Just give them some time and all will be revealed...

You're not alone. I would love a happy ending. That's actually what I tried to work for in all three games with my character.And yes, the Mass Relay destruction is a huge frustration, because no matter what you've done they get destroyed.

I would like a happy ending also. I was prepared it was hard, and that death and tragedy would follow along the way (Thane's death was very emotional, but also very fitting, and a very well done scene). I worked hard in both ME 1 and ME 2 to get a good ending, i was prepared and okay to work harder in ME 3 to reach it. But the possibility of Shep retiring, and getting rewarded for all her efforts with some kind of happiness, i would like to have at least as a possibility. I did every side quests, had a war rating of 7k plus since i also did multiplayer which i am not really fond of, cause i wanted to be prepared, achive the best i could.

But the lack of any closure, basically one ending with different variations in the explosion color, and all previous choices being for naught, and lets not mention some rather large plotholes....That doesn't feel like an ending, let alone closure, but simply like "okay, lets call it a game and end here".

We understand there is a lot of debate on the Mass Effect 3 ending and we will be more than happy to engage in healthy discussions once more people get to experience the game. We are listening to all of your feedback.

In the meantime, let's give appreciation to Commander Shepard. Whether you loved the ME3 ending or didn't or you just have a lot of questions, he/she has given many of us some of the best adventures we have had while playing games. What was your favorite moment?

So why are you listening?
Are you listening because you know something more than whole comunity and you like being yerk who holding all cards ?
Or are you listening because you are satisfied  with endings only want to know how much fans from your fanbase you can lost with this step

The third option is that they are listening because they know somethign we don't and us not knowing it until it comes to pass is part of what makes it work.
