Wonderful, either the two best characters in series die, or everyone else on the ship dies.

Bioware, did you actually write the ending or did you realize the night before resale your forgot to finish it? Cause your ending looks like the closing paragraphs to my papers in college, nonsensical, churned out at the last moment, and only vaguely connected to the rest of it.

probably some sort of 'last paper before summer break' situation.

Why does everyone assume there's no dextro on that planet? Maybe there's no amino, and everybody BUT Garrus and Tali will die?

Exactly.

Of course... we have no idea which will happen unless we use our imagination to fill in all the blanks.  Yay for not having an ending.

More like tacked on attempted fan service. If the game didn't ship with the Joker segment of the ending a lot of the ending conspiracies would disappear (to be replaced with a bunch of "wow Mass Effect is so fatalistic" comments as the endings would still be limited).

He gets killed by a reaper, teleported to the Normandy, resurrected, then starves to death on a jungle planet.

It's the kind of edgey ending Bioware wanted us to remember.

I truly didn't realize this until now.

Maybe he can just lick the space magic  off the Normandy's hull for sustinance.

Yep, that's pretty much how it stands. Also, every Quarian and Turian on the fleet in Earth orbit is likely going to starve to death. Oh, and most of the rest of the galactic population, since the mass relays are gone, so communication and supply lines are no longer there.

Great job with the ending, Bioware.

I assume their FTL drives are still working. Everyone would starve to death if they just hung out in Sol. And if we're counting the death toll, everyone on the Citadel died.

Now how people survive on the planet with the downed Normandy, beats me. (The Normandy crash part of the ending makes zero sense as is.)

Even if their FTL drives are still working, how would they get home? Where would they refuel? The relays were there for a reason: enabling FTL travel over large distances. I'm not sure if it's stated anywhere in the codex, but I'm assuming that FTL drives on ships don't have the range to go beyond the cluster in which the relay is sitting.

As for the death toll overall, don't even get me started on that. My Shepard is forced to murder countless people across the galaxy and can't even tell CreepySpaceBrat to stick his choices somewhere dark and smelly? It's about the same logic as killing organics so they aren't killed by synthetics. Again, great writing right there.

That's what they get for abandoning me at the Conduit Beam.

Thank you for the laugh that popped out.

You, sir, get the gold star.

Nah, they'll use mass effect fields to change the protein chirality of the native flora.


Wait, what?

Heh, my term papers looked much the same. I think you might be on to something...

Seconded. WIN.

Heck yeah! It fits with the 'unforgettable' message: try to do something good and you and everyone you care about will die

[ElectronicPostingInterface]

Yep. There's just bitter. No sweet.

Ohohoho. You're looking for logic in the ending of Mass Effect 3? Ohohohoho

This. 

There is no Bittersweet ending, it's mostly bitter.

I think having the Reapers win would've been less bitter.  I'm dead serious.  At least the characters would've died like soldiers.

Exactly. And the Next Cycle would still have the Mass Relays and artifacts from the past cycle.

This and This.

The endings didn't just force us to loose, they forced us to make things worse. Bittersweet my ***

On this point, I rewatched the scene with Vigil.  At the beginning of the invasion in the Prothean cycle, the Reapers controlled the mass relays and that crippled communication and travel between systems, isolating each star system.    To me, this suggest that FTL is not viable for long range trips.

It's just not viable if you want to keep up anything resembling a galactic economy.

It does get you from A to B just fine, albeit veeery slowly (compared to mass relays).
This Generation of Quarians sure won't see Rannoch after all
