Well my favorite part at least on my Main Shepard was her living after the ending, but there are also tons of things that I loved throughout the game which I will mention shortly. Now I wouldn't of minded at least on my other Shepards for them to die, but this main Shepard the whole reason that she has
been fighting it to destroy the Reapers, preserve organic life/evolution each
species way of life, and most importantly to live the rest of my life
with Liara and have a bunch of Blue Babies that could continue the
Shepard Legacy. I orginally choose synthesis, even though destroy was my
original impulse, but after thinking about it some more I realized my
Shep really would not of done that because it isn't preserving the
different races its changing them all, and I loved Liara just the way
she was. Even though my Shepard lived I was still devastated and really
confused about not just Liara but the Normandy landing on Eden Alpha.
But I did like that by using a ton of my own imagination and writing my
own ending(which I shouldn't have to do) that I got a little of what
I wanted, even though there's just way to much confusion and out of
character actions. There is no one who has played ME1,2 and 3, or even 1
or 2 and 3 that can honestly say that Shepards Squad would ever have
left that Battle, they would of fought to the end even when facing
complete extinction they would of gone down fighting. Also the whole
Synthetic vs. Organic "theme" was never ever used in this game, it has
always been Organic vs. Reapers, I'm making a post explaining that right
now.
However this game was masterful, I became attached and
Addicted. As I was playing through it I felt that this was THE Game the
best one ever, a true evolution of gaming. An ascendency to where
Players interact and affect the game/outcome,and become truly immersed
in a game/world that is part their own, even being able to mold the
personalities of other characters in the game, that I couldn't see
myself ever enjoying a game that was completely scripted and creator directed much
at all. I played Gears of War 3 after my first and possibly only
playthrough of ME3 well the whole series for that matter, but anyway
while it was enjoyable, sad, happy and epic,
it gave me closure and answered all of my questions, although I was
really afraid that wouldn't happen, that Adam Fenix would be killed
right as we got there mainly because ME3 has left a sour,
bitter aftertaste, it still didn't feel truly epic because I really had
no say in the events or outcome and because I didn't feel truly attached
to most of the characters. Sure Dom, Anya and Marcus were amazing, and I
was slightly sad when Dom died but I was also content because he went
out in truly Epic fashion and deservedly so with how his wife died, His will
was definitely broken(unlike Shepard especially my main whose will to
Survive, Win and Fight would never get worn down). But I just didn't
feel as much of a connection with them, nor with the Characters in Modern
Warfare 3 which I also just finished, sure it was slightly sad most of the main
characters died but they just never really resonated with me.
The biggest Moments and really most of this game is truly Memorable and
Epic, aside from the end which I wish I could forget just so I could
continue playing any ME game, anyway Mordins sacrifice really got too me
especially when I considered the Fact that my Shepard was the main
factor that decided his personality for this outcome, if not for my
conversations with him in Maelons Lab and in just talking with him he
would not of been inclined to even care about the Krogan and their
plight .I also really enjoyed the Time I spend with Garrus,(and really all of the little meetings with
the squad was awesome) up at the top of the citadel shooting up
bottles, it really felt like Garrus was a True Friend, and someone even
in real life that I would be very lucky to even know. I also really
enjoyed seeing Garrus and Tali fell in love, and I would like to believe
that I had a hand in that through my conversations in them much like I
did with Joker and EDI. It was especially awesome because I had turned
Garrus down on my main Shep because she had basically falled in Love
with Liara after their very first meeting in the Prothean Ruins, it nice
to see that even with all of the death and chaos that people especially
my squad who have it much harder than most could still find some
happiness. Although I feel that the Romance between
Shepard and Liara could use some work in this game, because at least for
me I think right after Mars I believe, Shepard told Liara that she still loved her and wanted to be with her, and Liara said the same thing but technically it took 75% of the game before that was Realized, it also
would of been nice to have had more true consversations with her instead
of just scripted dialog especially because of that conversation. I feel that even
though I told Liara that very early on, that I stillcould have had a Romance with several other Crew Members essentially cheating on her because the game didn't accept that conversation as a
continuation of our romance.
Overall I just feel like this game was truly Epic and Masterfully written and executed up until the final
push for the conduit. I was enthralled, addicted, and even moved by what had transpired, seeing the results of
my choices and how almost all of my past and present crew had at least
some impact on the storyline was Amazing. Unfortunately the end blew
this all up, and I'm not just talking about the possibility of Shepard
dying, but also the lack of logic, huge genre shift in storytelling, and
the complete and utter out of character decisions being made by my
crew. I was also very dissapointed that Harbinger who has been
basically a/the main Villian since Horizon on ME2 had really made no
appearance in this game, and that the Normandy which is a major Icon and
central part of every game was also absent for this battle was
devestating and highly disappointing. Also even though my Shepard Lived,
I was utterly devestated that my Crew and especially my Love Interest were stranded with no hopes of reunification. Of course I once again have had to rationalize and imagine that thanks to the conduit
being on Earth that Mass relay travel would once again be up and running
quickly, even though the Protheans were several thousand years ahead of
us technologically, and were just barely cracking Mass Relay tech
making this hope of mine really impossible, I can't accept it otherwise. I am also highly unimpressed with all of the endings really, I can understand if you guys want to destroy the Mass
Relays to set up future Games however it definitely should have been
done differently with more varied endings. For example it became cannon
that Udina was appointed to a Council position, however we still had the
option to appoint Udina, but we can understand why Udina is the
councilor in ME3 due to eventual arrival of the Reapers, Anderson would
of felt, and even Shepard would of felt much better with him actually in
the Fight. Also whether we destroyed the Collector base or Not really
doesn't matter in fact I'm pretty sure it's cannon that we kept it, but
we can forgive this because we were still given the option on how we
really wanted it to end. So in the end the majority of the fanbase
doesn't care how Bioware chooses to officially write the story as long
as we get the option to end the things the way we truly want to, and we
are also really willing to put the time and effort in to get those
options.
So even if the Relays have to be destroyed which quite frankly is the one
thing I liked about the endings there should still be options for
Shepard Living, Shepard Dying, Reunification with Love Interests and
Squad etc.. Really the only thing that truly matters is that the Reapers
are Gone, with most of their Tech including the Mass Relays, but not
everything needs to be destoryed, not everyone needs to die etc... Most
importantly we are given closure, results from our decisions, true
multiple endings even if cannon wise they don't happen, and that it
makes sense with the rest of the series. Really Stargazer said it best
"The story is True but some of the Details have been LOST throughout
Time".
