There are really only two options.

Either this is the real ending and Casey Hudson and his team will go down in video game history as the guys who wrote/produced 2.98 awsome games but blew it in the last 15 minutes with an ending that would fail in a high school lit class, or

Indoc theory is correct and Casey Hudson and his team are the best, most ballsy writers/producers ever to make a video game and we are not worthy to lick their shoes.

I am almost as interested to see how the above story ends as to see how the Mass Effect story ends.

See, I totally disagree with the whole indoctrination theory making BioWare brilliant.  All that means is that they actually shipped Mass Effect 3 without an ending at all with the intention of selling it to us later, and in my mind that's a far more heinous crime than just being bad writers.

This is how I feel. Ending a game on a non-event, on a distortion like this... well, it would be like in Arkham Asylum when the Scarecrow starts manipulating you and the game does funny things (like restarting the game at the opening credits) and  then it cuts to the end credits. You now have to wait until the next game to resolve the story. This patent manipulation of the audience in order to milk them for more money is infuriating to me. They promised us endings, they didn't give us a single one(if this theory is to believed).

I find Indoctrination likely, but unethical if that is the true ending of the game. Assuming the "Just one more story" bit at the end with the grandfather and child is true... I'm not interested. I want what I paid for, I want what I was promised. i want a full-bodied story that has a beginning, a middle, and a proper ending.

After finishing Mass Effect 3 I feel kind of heartbroken. For me Mass Effect series is an incredible interactive experience, a masterpiece. And I honestly thank you Bioware for bringing this universe to life. There are countless things I love about the series, but I don't like the ending. The ending, from the moment when elevator goes up to the catalyst seems disconnected from the rest of the series. It seems like an ending for a different game. And my Shepard seems like a different character. I strongly believe that no amount of clarification can help this ending. I think the only solution that can reedem the ending would be using indoctrination theory, and then showing what happened next. There will be no need to alter anything, just add new content that starts after Shepard wakes up in the rubble and realizes what just happened. And there are many options of what can happen next. Some people have great ideas about it, a lot of them in this thread. Just do something that will have this Mass Effect feel. The whole catalyst scene doesn't feel like Mass Effect at all. This catalyst logic is wrong, but Shepard looses the ability to think by himself, and is forced to make a choice that is based on catalyst twisted philosophy. And if I/Shepard chooses to sacrifice himself, I feel tricked, not like a tragic hero, but like a faliure. If Shepard has to die, please make it epic, make it legendary because he deserves it. At least let Shepard be himself till the end. Do not strip him of his character. And as the actual ending will probably not be altered, you can do it by using indoctrination theory, and then continue and give Shepard the end worthy of Mass Effect series. I hope it can be done even if this was not initial idea, but in my opinion it works better than anything that builds on the actual ending taken at face value. Sorry for my English.

Like many it is difficult to decide on a favourite moment as there were loads, which many have listed before me.
 In some ways I see why Bioware done this it is more of a bet you didn't see these endings coming which to be fair not really, but again as stated by many other fans I have been left with more questions than answers, why did I botherr getting all those extra forces when they weren't used, also what was the point of the war map if it was just to view your assets. It would have been cool if you could select certain areas of space to fight back for, obviously this may be difficult as your trying to save Earth and all other Planets out there.
 I was also expecting a more adrenaline fueled ending where you have a intense boss battle rather than a 10 minute cinematic which gives you more questions than answers and leaves you wondering ok what happened to everyone else that you spent two games previously gaining relationships and trust with them finding out more about their background. I was planning on going back to ME1 and playing through again but with the current ending I feel like it's pointless playing the games or even this ME3 again unless I play it up to the Illusive Man's Base and then leave it there.

 I will however say thank you for a fantastic Game, I am saddened that it is all over as I have enjoyed it from start to nearly finish, obvioulsy look forward to any DLC you bring out, just a shame how it ended thats all.

Did it never dawn on you guys that maybe they don't want to make games in this universe anymore????????That they the CREATORS want the story done with and to move on to different things?

Bro, nobody here asks for ME4 oO And if you talk about more content, THEY said they would make DLCs. And we don't ask them to make more games right now, just to actually finish the one they sold us. Please try and keep up.

This made me think that perhaps there is more to these endings than meets the eye. Especially since my Shepard got the "deep breath"-scene even though she chose to synergize organics and synthetics AND she only had a Military Standing of about 6600 (effectivly 3300) while everything I had read on the net so far suggested that you HAD to choose destruction and have an EMS above some number to get the "deep breath"-scene. This, to me, suggests that there is more things deciding the ending than military readiness.

Can anyone else confirm this?  I had a Military Strength of a little higher that 6600, Effective Strength of a little higher than 3300, chose Synthesis, and the deep breath scene did not play for me.

I was going to confirm this myself and was going to record it and youtube it, but I have now tried 3 times with the same character, and once at the same difficulty (just to make sure that difficulty didn't matter), It just won't give me that scene anymore.

And YES, I am sure that it gave me that scene the first time around. I didn't know anything about the ending at that time and was very happy when I saw the drawing of breath. I have no idea why it won't give me that now. A bug? All I know is that I am actually rather upset right now.

Bah... I shouldn't have retried.

Unlike the ending, Mordin's sacrifice on Tuchanka was incredible writing. I was bawling my eyes out. Since I know that the people at BioWare actually know how to write good stories, I'm still hoping that they'll fix the ending issues as well ^^

[Fiannawolf]

What I want in my possible real endings: aka ENDGAME PART 2 or Why wasnt this in ME3 in the beginning.

Extreamly OMG your Fracked ending:

Like ME2's suicide mission, if you go in without enough resources, it will end badly. Show the results after attempted Indoc process on Shep. In the worst ending the Commander will most likely die ala ME2 to complete the mission. But show what happens to the universe and the races because you went in unprepared.

Show real varied endings. What happens if shep did get indoctrinated from Harbringer. Will s/he kill friends after they wake up? Destroy the only weapon/s against the Reapers, doom everyone ect. For those who want to see the trainwreak capablities of a doom and gloom outcome, they can have it. Hell you can even have "And I must Scream" Trope moment with shep as they realize they are slaughtering everyone while under Harbs control.

Middle-line ending:

Went in prepard but not enough to prevent Shepard from utimately dying in the end but before s/he goes out you see how they defeated the Reapers and a final conversation with Friends and LI before Shep goes to the "Bar". In this ending the last scenes can be of how each planet and major decisions of Shep helped shape the Galaxy. Even Fallout 1 did this with the Vault Dweller main PC and allowed for a good amount of closure.

"Earn your Happy/Bittersweet Ending"

Must be uber prepard to take back Earth and resist Reaper Indoc at Citidel Beam Sequence.

Shep survives, reunited with Team/LI, Anderson and everyone else. This version shows the results of decisions, not all would be alive but Shepard will say farewells for those they lost in a state/galatic funeral ceremony. BIGGEST THING: SHOW RESULTS OF PREVIOUS DECISIONS AND HOW IT ULTIMATELY PLAYS OUT!

In this endgame we could have flashback/memory sequences to other important events in Shep's life, Wedding? Premotions, other missions post Reaper if TIM Situation isnt resolved, or even during reaper war for extra stories so Devs can get any side missions in without keeping with this Half Ending we have atm. Hell the memory shard Javik gives you in London would be the perfect vehicle to relive different moments in your Sheps life that are important. For LI enthusiasts this could be replay of thier weddings? Kids? Fun moments with ME crewmates.

Just some of my thoughts. Heck my Warden and Alistar had a more memorable ending/wedding then my poor Sheps will at this point in time.

[Hizuka]

Apparently not everyone is listening, no does everyone care. I complained a small amount on FB to a friend of mine who works at EA-Mythic, and next thing I know, Matt Kurz (the senior systems administrator at EA-Mythic) is mocking me for disliking the ending, implying I'm an autistic crybaby who can't handle not getting a Disney ending. I'd provide a link, but my friend deleted the entire post and thread a little while afterward.

So yeah, new stance: **** Bioware, **** Mythic, and **** EA.

Edited a bit for clarity.

Dear Bioware

I’m not upset with ME3 as a whole. I loved the game. Right up until the final push towards the Reaper beam, and even as Shepard stumbled severely wounded into the beam alone, the rest of the team presumably dead along with the others – at least that was what the radio transmissions sounded like. All my decisions until this point had borne fruits I didn’t expect, and I really enjoyed seeing the cinematic that included nearly every war asset I had brought to the table. Once Shepard walked through the Citadel, my expectations were sky-high. So were my emotional investments. This was it. This was what all three Mass Effect games had built up to: I was so close to a conclusion to a trilogy that had made me more involved in an excellent narrative than any other game I had played, not to mention most Hollywood movies. I faced down the Illusive Man, I bore the agony of seeing Shepard forced to shoot Anderson, and then lived through to see the man die. As Admiral Hackett’s voice came through on the radio and Shepard dragged herself to the console…I was ready. This was the moment.

And then something else happened. Shepard was transported to a different place, and there was this AI that bore too much resemblance to the kid who had haunted Shepard throughout ME3. It was a game-changer. I had not expected this. And the kid-AI tries to spout off some story of why the Reapers are doing what they are doing, and my Shepard argues that it is not their call. I really expected that like in ME1 and ME2, Shepard would punch through the options and find a path of her own at this point. She would not take this lying down.

Except she did, practically quite readily, and that is the part I have trouble buying. Shepard has not taken any nonsense before, whatever Paragon or Renegade affiliation she has belonged to. Of course, it would make sense to have big and difficult decisions to make at the very end – otherwise it wouldn’t be Mass Effect – and my Shepard would not hesitate to sacrifice herself if it meant everyone else would be saved. But why leave the ending after that decision so vague?
In Dragon Age 1 and 2, there were at least summaries of what happened to the characters and races we invested our time and emotions in, and how our decisions affected them, and this provided closure to many of the storylines. Why could not the same be done for Mass Effect 3? For instance, did the races stick together? Did they rebuild the relay networks or come up with hyperdrives to their ships? And what happened to Shepard’s friends? Did some of them die on Earth, or did they continue on to rebuild their lives? What happened to Shepard’s romantic interest if Shepard died or lived? An ending should provide closure, but all ME3 closed was the storyline on the Reapers. The Reapers, however, was just the context. What truly made the Mass Effect universe so great were the people, and is that not what the war boiled down to in Shepard’s mind? That the war was to be won on behalf of the people around us?

I feel robbed of something that would have topped ME3 with fireworks. Instead, the conclusion felt anticlimactic. We know the Normandy and some of the crew survived in all three scenarios, but what happened next? How did they move on? How did the galaxy move on? Unless there is already a ME4 in the works, this ending does not cut it. The rest of the game was great – a solid and satisfying end to the trilogy – but just when it was supposed to reach its peak, the balloon burst.

Perhaps that is supposed to be a lesson about real life. You cannot always get what you want, and victories in war are still hollow compared to all that has been lost. But once in a while…it would not have hurt to give the epic finish that a franchise like Mass Effect deserved. The end of a narrative is not supposed to be a cliffhanger. There is a beginning, middle, and an end. That is the traditional structure that has been ingrained in anyone who has read or heard any story since they were born. Sometimes the end might be considered open-ended, but it would still close something major while leaving room for something else. ME3 certainly closed the book on the Reapers, but it seemed to forget the most important part: the people who have followed Shepard on his or her journey starting in ME1, who we – the gamers – have come to love and cherish like our own friends. Those characters deserved a fate in the narrative; to have their aftermath stories mentioned in the end just like Shepard’s, because they are equally as important. It is a shame that they were robbed of this. No, in fact, the endings diminished their importance in the Mass Effect story overall and reduced them to someone who could never live up to the legend of “the Shepard” as mentioned by the Stargazer. Admittedly, perhaps the future generations in Mass Effect would not remember the names of Shepard’s companions, but we would have. As such, a game that was brilliant in every other way up until the final 2 %...left me a bit disappointed.

You can only hang on a cliffhanger for so long before you lose the grip. It would be a shame to lose interest in a game that is so intensely fantastic in every other way, simply because there was no closure, especially since it was reported long before launch that ME3 would close the book on Shepard and the trilogy. But really, it only closed the book on Shepard and the Reapers. The rest of the universe and its races, civilizations, characters were not even given a footnote, only some vague cinematic that didn’t really give me a sense of closure. That’s why, in my opinion, there should be something more coming. It might be enough just to hear how my Shepard’s decisions affected her companions in the aftermath. If Shepard chose the destroy option, what happened to Joker and the Quarians rebuilding Rannoch, not to mention Shepard herself if she survived? If she chose the synthesis option, would there be possible cross-species babies in the future? Those are a fraction of the questions I was left with at the conclusion of the game. I feel that there should have been none. A story needs some sort of closure of all its storylines, including those of the supporting characters.

But the rest of the game… It was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

I think the final Mass Effect 3 is too similar to the final of TV shows a Lost and BSG. A final choice of a game reminds Deus Ex.

[Leem_0001]

Anyone at Bioware - could we ask for a little more discussion? A little more transparency from your side, and we calm down and keep things civil?

I think one of the reasons for the anger, justified or (probably) not, is that when we do give constructive crtisism, it is ignored completely in statements and twisted into something else.

Could you maybe give us feedback on some of the specific points we have raised please? Such as lack of choice, lack of variet in endings, lack of previous decisions counting in the ending, huge gaps in logic and lore, introduction of such a major plot device (star child) right at the end?

It is not a case of us 'wanting to say goodbye to our stories', we feel like we did not get what was advertised to us. What was promised.

Could we ask, respectfully, that Bioware give us some feedback on this constructive crticism?

Thanks

[SmokyEyedDevil]

The game was amazing. My favorite part is when you take down the reaper on Tali's home world (sorry can't remember the name) Such a rush.

[earlmobile]

Ok, about the ending. It made me sad. For two reasons:

One, it was a heroic sacrifice story with a tragic ending which did exactly what it was supposed to do, namely make me sad. (In my opinion it was done a lot better than the ME 2 ending, where you're told over and over again, that it's a suicide mission and then my whole team survived, whitout me trying that hard. Felt kinda stupid back then. I mean, it was the best game i ever played till ME3, but still)

Second, the story was over and i felt the same kind of sadness i always feel when a great story ends. Like when you read a good book and then its over and you have to read it again to get to see all those great characters again.

Personally, i wouldnt mind getting a little more feedback on the final decision. What happens to the Galaxy and the races afterwards? And more importantly, what happened to my crew? So if that gets made into a DLC, then i'll play it. As for Shepard, she/he made the final sacrifice, and it meant something. The only DLC where she/he comes back i could sympathize with would be one where she/he gets rebuilt by the reapers, kinda like being rebuilt by cerberus. Then Shepard could work with the Reapers to save the galaxy from ... dark energy blowing up suns or something. Not because she/he'd ever trust or like the Reapers but because it is necessary for the galaxy. Because it is sacrifice that makes up her/his heroism, paragon and renegade both.

As for favorite moments, the game is a rollercoaster of memorable moments that make me more emotionally invested in this game than any game before. I cant even begin to list those moments up. If i had to pick one, i'd say garrus wanting to have a baby with me. Changing every lifeform in the galaxy is a close second.

Best game ever. Best ending ever.

Nuff said, except:

Thank you, Bioware

To the Mass Effect 3 Team,
 
            I completed Mass Effect 3 on March 12, 2012 at 4:25AM. Yes, I stayed up until 4AM to finish the game.
 
            Since that time, I have been reading much of the correspondence regarding the ending to the game. I saw posts from your staff asking (but I admit, “allowing” may be more appropriate of a term) for constructive criticism.
 
            I have been a fan of your games since Baldur’s Gate and believe or not, I’m the type of fan who purchases all the additional DLC, collector’s editions, and guides. I even went so far as to purchase two copies of both DA:O and DA:O Awakening, when they were first released and again when I purchased the “ultimate” package containing both games and all the DLC. Yet I refuse to be involved with social media and do not feel the need to interact with you directly (I refuse to register all my games on social.bioware, I just don't want to). My support is shown by buying your products and has always been enough (and will continue to be).
 
            Regardless of my personal history, I feel compelled to at least give you my opinion on the ending because I have been so vested in your products and unfortunately, I am left with a final decision to make regarding ME3.
 
The simple truth is that I was wholly dissatisfied with the ending. I was so enthralled with the story that I stayed up until 4AM to see its conclusion. I was absolutely blown away with the writing and execution of the mission Priority Earth (and the previous 100% of the game). Here, I had invested 100+ Hours with this particular Shepard from ME1 through the present. When Harbinger’s beam hit me and I got to my feet, a hulking mess of man scarred with blood and grit, whose charred armor could possibly be forever burned into his skin, I was absolutely and unequivocally in the moment. 
 
I was incredibly vested in how I made choices in all three games.  I loved the fact that in ME2, if I made all the right decisions, I could survive a suicide mission.  If I did anything else but a perfect storm of decisions, there would be dire consequences. The fact that Shepard’s death was an actual consequence in the game blew me away. That’s why at the end of ME3, I don’t understand why Shepard doesn’t survive. Yes I understand that if I make a certain choice, I get to see a breath taken from an N7 armored individual.
 
            I could well be “entitled” or “a whiner” just because I want a happy ending. But why can’t I? I had a happy ending in ME1. Saren and Sovereign were both dealt with and I got to see that cool emerging from the smoke scene. I got it at the end of ME2. I mean come on… I survived a suicide mission where death could actually occur. I was left with watching Shepard studying schematics of a Reaper which only fueled my desire for ME3. Why then can’t I get it here? Why can’t I amass the largest military force and be the underdog winner?

            I understand sacrifice, consequences, and bittersweet or Pyrrhic victories.  In ME1, I loved the L2 biotics dilemma of getting revenge for abuse suffered after volunteering for a greater good.  In ME2, not saving all the colonists on Horizon weighed heavily on me.  I get that the core experience of ME3 is sacrifice and loss, from the conversation with Anderson regarding not being able to save everyone to the entirety of the Shroud mission, I felt the weight of my decisions and the world you created. 
 
            Look, all I can say is that I honestly have no desire to purchase future DLC when I know the end of the game results in my death.
 
            Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I’m still a fan of Bioware and I will be in the future.
 
Best regards,
WDR

P.S.  On a lighter note, as much as I do not want to engage in social media, my wife noted that I wasted a lot of free time reading posts, laughing at Hilter reacting to the end, and muttering Marauder *bleeping* Shields under my breath.  So I begrudgingly admit that while I disliked the ending, Mr. Hudson's desire was fulfilled one hundred percent.

if the dlc that has been rumored by multiple sources just elaborates on the endings as they happened, because whatever you add, the endings would still f*** up everything about the ME universe. i think the only correct course of action for this dlc is to ellaborate on the indoctrination theory. if bioware originally meant the ending to hint at indoctrination and in fact indoctrinated the player, then they have transcended all other plot twists and i will throw money in their general direction. if they don't but still change the endings/ add more meaningfull options and closure, well they'll still be getting my money

Legion made me sniffle so hard....but in a good way.  and then there was Thane...  no matter what happens, this could never be a truly sweet ending.  people we care about, died.  if you listen carefuly to the conversation, you realize just how many people were touched by those deaths.  no one escapes unscathed.  and a lot of rebuilding would have to happen.

even if Shepard survives and reunites with remaining crew... it would still be bittersweet.

 My favorite moment in mass effect 3 is a tough thing to pin down. There were many things that were well done. I loved how liara relationship played out. It wasn't one of those cheesy bad romances in other games but it was just a great portrait of two people deeply in love. And of course theres Garus . I remember in the first game he was an argry turian and then progressed into the great sense of humor depicted in 2 and 3. I liked how you took a few jabs at yourselves about him and his Calibrations. Overall it was an excellent game, I have never thought this much about the choices I have had to make in a game. That in itself is an incredible achievement. I can appriciate the subtle influence from philosophy present in the games as well. I loved the game as a whole but was a bit disapointed with the lack of explanation at the end. I say you guys have done an incredible job, I can't wait to see what comes next!!!!!!!!!!

[Norcalmark1313]

This is a modest assumption of the game: Amazing game overall 10/10. Perfect gameplay and pretty fun multiplayer. And the storyline was Excellent! There were so many moments in the game that had me on the edge of my seat and sending chills down my spine. But that only lasted up until the last moments. Mass Effect team, you all made (in my personal opinion) the best game up to date with a better story than Star Wars (and i LOVE Star Wars), but I believe like many others that the game did not fit the character style of the Shepard that I followed from ME1 to the ends(s). Too many loopholes went undressed and none of the choices that your gamers made during their journey through your wonderful trio of games mattered in the end. And although it is not my place to decide how the ending should have been written, please take my opinion into consideration

Thanks for bringing these games to the gaming community.

Oh yeah. My favorite part of the game, without a doubt, was my best friend Garus. Truly i can not say that i have ever felt so close to something that is not real. You guys at Bioware on the ME3 team really hit it home. I mean there he was, always right by my side, pushing through 3 games even when we were knee deep in s***, my best friend Garus. My Shepard and him are probably sitting in Turian/Human heaven right now downing a few brewskies and shooting bottles out of the sky because they "really just dont give a damn!"

SPOILERS INCLUDED

 Ok so ME3 is truly amazing. I felt a knot in my stomach when Ashley was taken out, I felt a manly tear falling down my  cheek as I heard Mordins final song and watched his sacrifice and I found myself punching the air as Kia Leng, the man who killed my fav character in the universe released his final breath. Heck I even love the multiplayer and feel its a great feature and very well implimented.

And then the endng happend...

I'm sorry Bioware, I really do love you but there is just no excusing that in the slightest. Whatever happend to the player choice? I can kind of understand why you went the path you did ( I'm guessing you wanted to keep it as self contained as possible so people new to the franchise would understand whats going on). But at the end of the day, for all these years you have been telling us loyal to you and the ME franchise that this is OUR story as well as commander Shepards and that we will shape the outcome. Not one single decision we made affects the ending, not a single one. After spending hour after hour, new game after new game trying to get the story how I wanted it in me1 + 2...it was heartbreaking to see it all come crashing down around me. Theres so little difference between the 3 endings I'm glad that I'm not colour blind as I would have felt even more hurt.

I read on a load of other sites (ign, cvg, 1up etc) that we should all just get over it and respect your artistic integrity but where is the respect for those of us brought up on the promises you made that the ending of this incredible triology wouldn't be just cut and paste and would reflect our experiences and decisions.
I really want to go through ME3 again but I just can't bring myself to do it, knowing whats waiting for me. For every beautiful, amazing, jaw dropping and inspiring moment theres the heart breaking moment when I realize that I've been lied to for all these years.

Whatever happend to these words..thats all I'm gonna say. Apologies for any grammer and spelling mistakes.


Interview with Mike Gamble (Associate Producer)
http://www.360magazine.co.uk/interview/mass-effect-3-has-many-different-endings/

“There are many different endings. We wouldn’t do it any other way. How could you go through all three campaigns playing as your Shepard and then be forced into a bespoke ending that everyone gets? But I can’t say any more than that…”


Casey Hudson (Director)
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/336331/interviews/mass-effect-3-we-cant-go-on-holiday-our-dlc-is-really-good/?page=2

“There is a huge set of consequences that start stacking up as you approach the end-game. And even in terms of the ending itself, it continues to break down to some very large decisions. So it's not like a classic game ending where everything is linear and you make a choice between a few things - it really does layer in many, many different choices, up to the final moments, where it's going to be different for everyone who plays it.”

[gumlym]

Honestly.. those analysts who gave the game 100 points and didnt say anything made their articles without finishing the game. And dont get me wrong, the game is amazing.. but a game never should have a perfect score when something as crucial as its ending is so evidently flawed. I really hope they fix this mess...
