WHAT I WAS
EXPECTED FROM ENDINGS.MY THOUGHTS ABOUT ENDINGS IN LIGHT OF ORIGINAL STORY. I
was thinking final mission will be the suicide mission on the galaxy scale, and
my choices will decide who survive and who die. Also I’m sure that in final mission LI must be
with Shepard on default. There’s no F*** way Liara (or other LI) let Shepard go
without her (Like Trinity in Matrix). Also that’s good idea, clearly, there’s no
way Shepard can leave his friend to die without any words or trying to help,
but to do scenes for every crew mate not necessary if LI with Shepard on
default, to add some tragic and emotions in sad endings it’s enough to kill
crew mate and LI, It’s demanding to write only scenes of LIs death. It’s what
been missing in endings, last words before death from someone who means a lot
to Shepard. Come on, in the sad endings of ME we want to see how our friends
dying, not just dead bodies.
BASICALLY 3
ENDINGS: BAD, MIDDLE, GOOD. ALL VARIATIONS DEPEND ON MAIN CHOICES OF ENTIRE TRILOGY.
BAD. Reapers win. During ground battle on Earth,
united fleet suffer defeat, crucible destroyed, ground forces almost destroyed,
only Anderson with small squad and Shepard with Liara and Garrus for example
reached the beam, but they all die. After that reapers will end the cycle.
In light of
bad ending, scene with LI death can be something like:
During the run to the beam Shepard, Liara and
Garrus (or other squad mates) is badly wounded by a shot of reaper. Garrus
nearly dead, Shepard, something like in original ending
Garrus
Shepard, revenge them, I’m … Goodbye my frien…
Shepard get up and run to Liara(or other LI)
she still alive, Shepard stand on his
knees raise a little, all clear to both
of them, that’s fatal wound,
Liara (with bitter smile) – I let you down;
there’s will be no blue babies, not in this life.
Shepard (his face reflects desperation, he
tries to hide it) – No, don’t say that. You are the only reason I still alive
and fight all this time. I can’t lose you.
Shepard on radio: it’s commander Shepard I need a landing, I need someone
to pick up injured person. (He take her in one's arms, stand up and try to go, but
it’s too painful for her she close eyes, agony on her face, Shepard fall on his
knees, tears in his eyes, Liara open her eyes looking at him with compassion)
Radio: (Victus to Shepard): Negative, Commander
its Primarch Victus, landing impossible, our forces thrown back from Earth and
divided by the reapers, fleet suffer defeat, crucible destroyed, reapers tear
apart Human fleet, flagship, with admiral Hacket on board, eliminated, Normandy also, Asari fleet tire out, Destiny
Ascension eliminated, almost all our
dreadnoughts destro……. (static). Shepard
looking at the sky, the last Turian dreadnought explodes. While Victus talk we see desperate battle, destruction
of Normandy and crew death. Shepard looking around, soldiers dying, destruction
and death everywhere. Shepard understands “this is it”, this is the end. He accept
defeat with honor and calmness.
Harbinger – Shepard, you failed. You can’t win
this battle. You have no choice but to face your extermination. Breaking the cycle will doomed the fate of
entire galaxy. There is no alternative
to our solution, accept your destiny.
Liara (with torment) There’s still a chance to
win. Leave me. I’ll understand
Shepard (renegade) We already lose. ( Shepard leaves
Liara, get up, turn around in that moment Harbinger shoot at him, Shepard and
Liara dying.
(paragon) My place right here with you, my fate
is to share your.
Liara touch Shepard face with her fingers, they
look in each other eyes, scene flood with pink light, Liara looks tired, but
smiles through the pain with appeasement, Shepard holds her close and look at
her with tenderness) Then we see that
scene with Anderson’s eyes, Harbinger shoot in Shepard and Liara, they slowly
vaporized. Anderson and his squad holding position on the top of the hill,
Anderson receive a message that nearly all ground forces destroyed, Brutes
attacked and kill Anderson and his squad.
We see that reapers harvested Earth and other homeworlds, decades after
reapers finished their job and leave galaxy. And in the end we see representatives
of some not advanced species, they look at the stars.
I know, it’s pretty poor writing and maybe it’s
too much concentrated on LI, but it’s impossible to show real emotions of character
without scenes like that, without death of dearest friends.
FOR MIDDLE-BAD ENDING CAN BE MODIFIED, All the
same, except Radio talks, fleets stronger and ground forces too, Anderson didn’t
die in battle near the beam, Harbinger too busy in battle to think about
Shepard, LI die on his hands, he drop couple of tears, his face changed from
sorrow to anger, some soldier took body of LI and take it away to the shuttle,
Shepard get up, turn around, watch at Harbinger and says: You mother****ers, I
destroy you all. I will send you back in the dark hole from what you came from.
Shepard sacrifice.
CONTROL – Can’t control the reapers, they win. SYNTHESIS – everyone turns to synthetic.
DESTROY – all AI destroyed. CONCLUSIONS. Losses are massive: LI, all crew and
Normandy, Earth some other homeworlds and entire species eliminated, fleet
nearly destroyed. All Human and almost all of other species, main characters
died.
Shepard refuses
to sacrifice. Shepard lives the citadel and has a last battle with Harbinger
and some other reapers. But to destroy Harbinger Shepard must die. After
Harbinger eliminated reapers can’t fight jointly, it looks like they loosing connection
with each other, and suffer defeat, the rests of reapers forces living the
galaxy to never come back. Losses: Shepard, LI, Normandy with all crew, died in
battle, survivors among at thousands, Humans and many other species completely
eliminated, fleet completely destroyed. All main characters of every species
died.
MIDDLE ENDING, All the same, but Shepard wounded
not so hard. If he had only one LI, wound of LI isn’t fatal; some soldier takes
her away to the shuttle. Wound of other squad mate still fatal.
Shepard sacrifice. CONTROL - Reapers leave but
Shepard’s mind can’t resist forever and soon reapers will come back. SYNTHESIS -
everyone turns to half-synthetic, no diversity between species. CONTROL – all AI
destroyed. CONCLUSIONS. Losses big: Earth the only destroyed homeworld, but
humans not eliminated. All species survive but losses are big. Shepard can save
LI and Normandy crew only in sacrifice ending. Later LI gives birth to Shepard’s
child.
Shepard refuses to sacrifice. Losses: Shepard killed
in battle, before death he sees destruction of Normandy with all crew and LI on
board. Losses are much bigger than in sacrifice ending.
MIDDLE-GOOD ENDING, LI isn’t wounded, squad
mate take a light wound and they both can go further with Shepard. In case of
sacrifice ending, if he had only one LI, she can do sacrifice with Shepard, but
Shepard (if he is full paragon or renegade) can stop her. If Shepard stops LI later
she gives birth to Shepard’s child.
Shepard sacrifice. CONTROL - Reapers leave, but
will come back after 50k years. SYNTHESIS – organics saving their diversity,
but still have half-synthetic DNA. CONTROL – all AI destroyed. CONCLUSIONS. All
species survive with light losses, homeworlds not destroyed, all main
characters survive. Normandy not destroyed, crew survive.
Shepard refuses to sacrifice. CONCLUSIONS. Shepard
in last battle with Harbinger can save LI and die, or stay alive and let LI to die.
If Shepard saves her, later she gives birth to Shepard’s child. All species
survive with average losses, some members of crew die.
AFTER ANY MIDDLE ENDING RELAYS AND CITADEL STAYS
UNHARMED.
AFTER ANY MIDDLE ENDING GOES SCENE WHICH SHOW
CONCLUSIONS OF OUR CHOICES, GREAT EPIC SCENE WITH SHEPARD’S FUNERAL, STATUE OF
SHEPARD ON CITADEL, FRIENDS AND LI WITH SHEPARD’S CHILD IF THEY SURVIVE. FINAL
SCENES DEPENDS ON ENDING YOU RECEIVED.
GOOD ENDING, No one wounded, Shepard still can sacrifice
himself and save a little bit more lives, but even if he refuses to sacrifice
losses not so big: all species survive, all homeworlds including Earth survive,
all main and secondary characters survive in last fight.
IF SHEPARD SACRIFICES HIMSELF SCENE WITH
FUNERAL LIKE IN MIDDLE-GOOD ENDING.
IF SHEPARD STAYS ALIVE, Harbinger and all
reapers on Earth eliminated, Shepard, Garrus and Liara (for example) stand
beside dead Harbinger. Garrus said something in his style; Shepard hugs Liara,
they just stand in silence, Garrus leave them alone and looking around. London completely destroyed, turned to desert,
Shepard looking at Liara, then turns his eyes to horizon, there’s a sunrise. During
that scene Anderson and all soldiers who stay alive, gathered behind Shepard
back, but on distance of couple hundred meters, Normandy landing and all crew go
out of ship, Shepard standing with Liara and looking at sunrise, they talking
and don’t even hear anything, then Garrus returns them to real world in some
funny way. They turn around, shuttles with commanding officers of all species,
council, Hacket, Victus, Wrex and Grunt, Quarian admirals and etc. landing,
they all arrived to salute living legend.
After that council presents a reward to Shepard
on the citadel, He says speech about peoples who given their lives….. Then it comes
with some epilogue.
It also will be great to see scene with Shepard’s
wedding………
Sunny beach Wrex, James, Ashley, Tali, Grunt, Garrus
and Shepard (and other Shepard’s friends) on the beach chairs talking, drinking
something, someone’s hands cover Shepard’s eyes from behind, it’s a little blue
asari, her two sisters playing in the sand,
their mother goes out of the sea and come to Shepard. All company talking,
laughing, tells some stories. THE END
