Please note, we want to give people time to experience the game so while we can’t get into specifics right now, we will be able to address some of your questions once more people have had time to complete the game. In the meantime, we’d like to ask that you keep the non-spoiler areas of our forums and our social media channels spoiler free.


I don't understand the need for a delay.  Please elaborate.

This is the spoiler forum.  People who come here have presumably finished the game already, or at least understand that there are going to learn about it.  I understand not wanting to explain the ending on a non-spoiler forum, but this seems like the exact place to do it.

I don't see how the situation changes when more people finishing the game.  The ending is still the ending, and we still have the same questions.  Just more people have them and more people have been waiting longer for their answers.

Please just discuss it in a sticky at the top of this forum.  Then people can come here as soon as they finish the game.  I think an official Bioware sticky statement could have helped me a lot when I finished the game, wondered what just happened, and ended up here looking for answers.

99.9% of the game is just so epic. I am so glad I did Renegade FemShep my first time through.

My favorite moment? Same as I tweeted to @masseffect a few days ago. Ending the War between the Quarians and the Geth by yelling at them. I stood up, all alone in front of my screen and applauded. Fist pumping may have been involved, my memory gets fuzzy around there.

I do recall thinking, "Yeah, girl! You tell them! You tell them!!" Not sure if that was outloud or not. Again, fuzziness.

Then hearing the Quarian Admiral give the order to stand down, and FemShep's smile right after. Priceless. I will never forget that moment. Never.

Oh yeah, forgot to say that party members interacting with each other was awesome, thats one thing I loved about DA 2. It finally felt like they too were friends and not just there because of Shepard.(while that IS kind of true that only reason they are there is because of Shepard xD) Also nice to see that Garrus and Tali have romance if you don't romance either.

Also, lots of funny moments. And heartwarming ones.

My favorite moment was disbelief when I realized the game lacked an actual ending.
It's like taking the steering wheel away from a F1 driver before the last curve of the race, while speeding.

Yeah.  That's great.  Know what would calm a lot of people down and help with a whole lot of the anger and rage right now?  Telling us *when* we can expect a comment/announcement.

At what point can we expect it will be experienced by most players round the world before we learn if you are actually going to do anything about it?

I cannot appreciate Commander Shepard anymore. Your ending (singular) made her into a coward, and invalidated everything she ever did.
You didn't just kill her body, you killed her spirit, and mine along with it.

Couldn't agree more.

 

This ... 

 What was done to Shepards was  nothing short of Character assination and story assination.. 

That being Said ...  

@Chris 

If They messed up and just missed the ball on the endings I can understand that I have not problems with  a DLC to correct the mistake. Just admit it and be humble about it.. If this was some gaint PR stunt like the Indoctrination theory  suggest... the I be  will very upset and  here is why

Why would  you do something like that...  I and we as fan base were already pulled in and invested in the series. We did not need  this...  through out the whole game . we connect to the emotion of what was going  on 

I felt my Shepards  doubt and fear sitting with  Ashley in the ICU. 
I felt Laira  desperation before when she was trying to get him out of daze he was in.  
I felt  My Shepards mixing feeling from pain, joy , pride and grief watching Mordin go up to his death willing to die  correct what he sees not as mistake 
I felt it when  My Shepard watched  an unlikely ally in Legion  give his newly found life so his people could have true intelligence and individuality  
I felt his sadness  as Thane passed with saying on last pray for him ... 

All of that throught the game  and themes presented where there... we as players and viewers did not need this endings to try force  and philosophical and deep ending when the was no need to force.. 

16 different endings from Happy to Sad to Bittersweet to  FUBAR all reflecting the themes of the story in a different like.   Choice, Hope, Redemption,  Individuality, etc, etc etc.  If this was done we as fan base would all here discussion  how each ending in reflective of the  Shepard we played, How the endings present the themes differently depending on the choices we had through all 3 games.

The whole thing was wonderful, until I got to the beam of light at the end then, I felt like I was in an entire different game which disheartened me. I haven't been able to replay it, I'm heart-sick.

The Kaidan fanservice was wonderful XD I appreciate the attention to detail on the Alenko fandom with his butt, cracked me up. I laughed, cried and was completely immersed. I was blown away by ME3 and I'm still reeling from it a week later but I can't finish it a second time, I stop at my final goodbyes and head-canon an epic win with Shenko babies and retirements on the devasted earth beaches of Vancouver.

The only think keeping me hopful is that Shep was indeed indoctrinated at the end and that BS ending is just smoke and mirrors. I pray all the money I poured into this franchise isn't for naught.

It was fun to play, it was emotional, it was amazing. I put in a review all the problems I had with some of the gameplay, mostly the LI stuff so I won't regurgitate.

Ok, I will - If Liara or Garrus was my LI, the point is moot after Thessia because they get their little moment, but my LI was Kaidan and there was no comfort from him at all after Thessia, just a Zaeed / Kasumi scripted talk which was disapointing. IDGAF about Garrus or Liara so I was put off a bit.

Fave moments : Shooting Udina, Recruiting Kaidan, Mordin's death (still gross sobbing) Geth and Quarians uniting, Tali's drunk straw talk. The banter on the ship, the fact the squad mates walk around the ship and you have to find them to talk. ALSO - the fact that Shep responds to the banter, I was so pleasantly surprised to hear her talking in the missions, I was loving it.

It was all amazing, until the end, then I felt sick and it ruined the whole thing for me, screw the journey if the destination makes you want to puke.

Thank you for finally responding to our ire, it will placate some rage I think?

I want to know where the reapers came from who made them, who made the mass relays, where did the original crucible plans come into exsistance, what happend to harbinger? why did the AI or what ever it was take the form of a child? what happend to all the people left around the earth? did the mass relays take out all those star systems? why did joker run, how did he get them off the planet so fast if cortez shuttle went down,*yea there was a second shuttle but still...* I need answers I can live with shepard dieing.

Oh yea I love when Hackett says (in regards to Illusive Man): "Kill Him. That's an order."

I laughed out loud! The best line any writer/director could give Lance Henriksen, it fits the actor and the character perfectly! Oh man that was great...

Specifically: Losing Mordin on Tuchanka. felt like he got some peace of mind, being the instrument of the cure to the genophage, Losing Thane was eye tearing, and then Legion sacrificing himself to give the geth true sentience. Punching that one reporter and Admiral Gerrel were high points. Getting the Quarians and Geth to reconcile was a good thing. Had to play that segment through twice, cuz first play through, i chose differently, and tali jumped off a cliff.

Please understand, in no way do I feel this was a substandard game. In fact, I believe it to be a masterpiece of gripping emotional proportions. My wife is jealous of Lt. Cdr. Williams. I consider Garrus to be a bro. I wanted Joker and EDI together so bad I would've knocked them out and locked them in a room together in anticipation of mutant cyber-babies sometime down the line. The gameplay kept me engaged, the pacing of the narrative was excellent, and quite frankly, my only letdown other than the endings was that I wanted an Elcor squadmember more than ANYTHING. That being said...yes...I mentioned the endings, and apparently you ARE listening. At which I can only say "Thank you for your consideration." I look forward to seeing what you have in store, and if you guys need another buck or two to make this happen, just tell me where to send it.

So............howzabout that Elcor version of Hamlet?

Oh, and if you make an alternative ending DLC, it would be incredibly awesome to fight TIM as a giant husk, he really reminded me of Saren in our last conversation.


It would be more awesome if Charlie Sheen took over his body. Screaming winning and waving a machte. Would be gold.

The game is probably the best I ever played. Plaindead awesome -  and  honestly - favorite Moment ???

Far too much moments - 

The Nightmares with the Kid gives me the creeps always

Mordin / Thane 's sacrifice are heartwrenching

Edi turning in something human a perfect sexy move

Jack punching in my Shep's face

"I'm Garrus Vakarian and this is my favorite spot on the Citadel" 

even the soundtrack is AAA+

and so on ... as I said far too much to decide what is the favorite moment  :happy:

The delay in addressing the ending is understandable.  You need to allow all players a chance to play up to the final act before you release the surprise ending/dlc that completes the game, otherwise, it would spoil it for them.

I would just like to note that if the ending/dlc is not free, I will definitely pay for it.  I would also like to note that, if the ending/dlc has a price tag other than "free," I will never purchase another product from this company, and I will do my best to spread that opinion and sentiment to others.

Chris.

I'll put it here for all to see.  I am 57 years old - a Tolkein, Heinlein, Asimov, Eddings, Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman --- well.. you get the picture.. fan.  Legendary story tellers.. there is no doubt.  And with that said.. I found myself immersed in Mass Effect from the start.  A Legendary story in and of itself. 

But, it was more than just a story.  I not only could read and see the story, I was a part of it.  Building friendships and relationships (albeit fictional characters), yet.. still emotional investment all the same.

Each segment be it ME1 or ME2 had it's heart stopping or heart breaking moments.  But nothing in either of those prepared me for ME3. 

I didn't buy any guide for the game.  I just played.  On the first play through, I didn't save Kelly Chambers.  I didn't know you could.  I was hurt when I heard she was killed by Cerberus.  In the same playthrough, I didn't meet Miranda for the 3rd time, and she died at Santuary.  I shed a tear.

Thane went down fighting, Mordin got it right.  I stil felt man tears well up.  Yes Legion the answer to your questions is Yes.  I literally teared up.

How do you parse the 'favorite parts' of an epic?  The whole Rannock (Legion) segments were excellent.  The writers and devs did a Fantastic job.   I took the unite Geth/Quarian path.

You could feel the desperation building as Palavan was under attack.  You could actually feel the pain of so many throughout the game. 

When Thessia fell.. and Cerberus beat me out of the Prothean data.. I felt.. beaten.

My love interest was Ashley on the first run, and then back to my Liara on the second.  The Liara segments were beautiful and masterful. I totally teared up.  The time capsule, the romance, the final kiss in the stars.  Liara.. come find me again in the rubble.

The fleet battles were just magnificent.  I wish there was more of them.  Excellent, excellent visuals.

There were so many good things in ME3.  So many emotional hits (mostly sad) because you knew this was the end.  I teared up plenty.  Congratulations on an epic....

And.... then.. the endings.. I was completely crushed... devastated.  What happened?   Why?  All the magnificence, beauty, glory, hope, dreams, and even the sacrifices seem to be thrown out the door.  I did all three endings... and even with NG+ with 6800+ EMS, and nothing changed.. I am so dissappointed.

Thank you at least.. for 2 and 4/5s great games.

First of all, thank you for giving us the opportunity to immerse in the adventures of Commander Shepard and the three best games of my life. This has been an captivating journey ever since I accessed the Alliance Military Database in 2008: I have come to love my Shepard, the people around her and the choices she's made, which I could never have anticipated from a video game. There was never a moment that didn't speak to me in some, oddly emotional way.

It goes without saying that I cried tears long overdue when the credits of ME3 rolled. I felt I lost a dear, though fictional friend. It should not have been the end for her (instead she would've opted for adopting krogan babies with Garrus), but if that be your judgement, I'll learn to live with it. In that case I've got only one request: Let me give her a proper funeral.

we need some thing simple for the end can be accepted from all
my idea is simple easy to do not match effort to do it

from the end with the boy just before Shepard die the sound of the boy telling Shepard that he have the third chance to return to life again with his good action and he teleport to Normandy after the crash of it to united whit the love of his life to life and die in peace the help to made
not only a good ending but give you an open door to use him in next games far from now

hope that idea was good to use

The best 2-seond window of the game had to be convincing TIM to brain himself with a pistol. After all that douche-bag put me through, it was nice to watch him die, even if it might have only been a dream.


Really? Even though you did the exact same thing with Saren in ME1? That was one of the most unsatisfying things about the ending because it already fraking happened.


Yes, but Saren I enjoyed working against. I even got to actually fight him. TIM was just some tool, standing in the background and dicking me around for two games now, got Thane killed, got Kelly Chambers killed, required me to go help out Miranda with her sister again. The guy was a huge pain and seeing him go down provided a BRIEF catharsis, right before the god-child ripped the stiches out of the wounds and scattered little meaty bits all over the walls.

I just remembered a favorite moment last night that I forgot to mention in my game feedback. My paragon Shep seeing David (from Overlord) healthy and smiling during the Grissom Academy mission. I was so happy I got misty-eyed. Sweet moment, and having Jack there to help those kids out just made it even sweeter.
