I would like to have a small chance for a happily ever after IF you go through all the hoops and gather about 85%-90% assets. If you think about it ME2 allowed you to return with your crew intact from a suicide mission if you met the requirements for it. I'm also fine with Shepard doing his/her heroic sacrifice shtick if thats how the player wants it to end. That's what really drew me to the franchise to begin with the ability to push forward the storyline in a direction where the player wants with the help of the game developer's story telling.

I must admit, those polls were well written and well thought out. Well done!

Only one of the polls - the final one - i chose one of the minorities. I really have no idea how it should be implemented. I just guessed really.

[Andur4]

Put in a vote for the new question.

[Aduro]

XD While we're at it we should add other polls. Maybe include what a 'reasonable' price would be >_< Of course, the 'free' option would win out
But this is a great opportunity to tell Bioware what we want in a straightforward, concise and democratic way. We should make the most of it

(Also, bump for great justice!)

That is what i want too. If i jump through all the hoops, spend copious amounts of time doing absolutely everything i can - i want the best possible happy ending. On the other hand, if i skip over missions, dont talk to whoever... i want the current ending to happen where... well... Shepard is fkd, the galaxy is fkd and nobody gets out with both legs and arms.

Yes indeed, that is the way it should have been done, to reflect our choices.

[evisneffo]

Thanks for doing these - very sensible questions and helpful way of gathering feedback!

Hey guys, thanks for the support!

Once we get more votes I'll be adding a final "summarized" ending poll, with each option being a detailed description of the different popular proposals.


Also, I just saw a video here that comes up with a pretty awesome idea for the DLC ending that I haven't heard before.

Basically, the idea is that there is no catalyst or starchild or anything like that, the crucible docks with the citadel and...  NOTHING HAPPENS.  The reason?  The crucible was ANOTHER REAPER TRAP, meant to cause galactic races to waste their resources on a massive project and then desperately gather ALL their forces in one place to be easily dealt with by the reapers.   Did that just blow your mind like it did mine? 

Now, it would also be possible to work this in with the indoctrination theory since that seems to be the most popular at the moment.  You could have Shepard wake up and see Harbinger hovering over him ominously.  Shepard would get a radio message from either Anderson or his squad mates that they made it up to the citadel but nothing is happening.  At which point, Harbinger explains (IN HIS SCARY ALL CAPS VOICE)  that Shepard has LOST and done EXACTLY what the reapers wanted him to do.   Shepard get's dialog options to rally the fleets and basically tell Harbinger to shove it.

NOW, this is the point where things could go very differently depending on what choices and allies the player has made through the game.  If you have krogan ground support, they come in HARD with HEAVY weapons.   There's a big fight with Harbinger on the ground while the fleets are battling the reapers above Earth.  More support comes in based on choices and allies.  Fleet eventually mops up in space enough to send an orbital strike in on Harbinger.  Eventually, if choices and allies were good enough, the reapers are defeated with HEAVY (but recoverable) losses.  If choices where bad, then reapers win, if choices where OK then the fleet eventually beats the reapers but Shepard and squad die back on earth from lack of orbital support.  Afterwards we get an epilogue for whatever is left over.


Good ending shows love interest reuniting with shepard, squad all meeting backu up, galactic recovery for each race, perhaps shep and love interest a couple years down the line?, perhaps shep and garrus on the beach drinking beers and the camera panning out and showing reaper corpses in the ocean? etc)


Middle ending shows shep and love interest dying in each others arms, or shep and squad all dying in an epic blaze of glory, shows the galactic recovery for each race afterwards.  Perhaps ends with garrus's voiceover about meeting him for beers in the afterlife, or shep's love interest telling him that they love him.


Bad ending shows reapers reaping.  Last scene shows a Pyjak on some random world, discovering how to use blunt objects ala 2001, insinuating that they will eventually be the next dominant species in the next cycle.



One possible issue with this is that it relies on completely conventional means to destroy the reapers, and according to the polls about 30% fully support that idea.  So possibly there could be a way to make the crucible at least locally effective against the reapers or possibly some other way to weaken the reapers for this to work out?  Perhaps one of your allies (geth, rachni, quarians, ect) figure out that the crucible was useless and makes modifications?


Once I nail this down more, if you guys like it, I'll make a poll about this.

What do you guys think?

[Lil One]

War assets need to play a greater roll, I feel. At a horrible cost the reapers might be defeated by conventional means, but only if you have a very large fleet.

To be honest, this is how I though it would be, you know, that the size of the fleet would be more vital.

[SilentWolfie]

The entire poll has nothing that I want. I need a brand new ending that has been somewhat present in the entire shephard's journey. The catalyst/godchild ending is stupid and a new ending requires probably a better system than the above. The closest thing I have is "Multiple endings where it's all based on your choices, inclusive of mega happy endings or bad worst case endings."

A conclusive ending is very difficult to have and I think ME is not really a game where it benefits from that.

[Lil One]

True. If they only had dared to stick to a conventional ending (as in, from happy to disaster)...

THIS,
I scanned every system in the galaxy untill they were all 100% assets recovered, in my ME1 & ME2 I saved the Rachni & Geth, this 1 I have Everyone with me, WHY o WHY do you bash me in the face by stealing 50% of my assets because i don't play multiplayer in a SINGLE PLAYER RPG

and the ending is not deserving of the name Bioware, you just didn't drop the ball, you never had it in your hands

[JunMadine]

I hope this gets more attention.

Hold the line.

[Srefanius]

Good poll. Voted and hold the line!

Keep voting and don't touch any EA or Bioware products until we get new endings that don't require multiplayer to get all singleplayer endings.

Hold the line for as long as it takes people.

Voted for mega happy ending!

I'm having a hard time not berating and insulting you to kingdom come, but I'm going to try. How is there not already a "hefty cost?" All of the main worlds of every race have been decimated by the Reapers and billions of people have been killed or turned into the Reapers' creatures. One man getting out with his life doesn't devalue the tremendous costs that the universe has had.

I don't know if you lack total reading comprehension, but people want the happy ending as a choice, not the only conclusion. If you want Shepard to be a martyr and sacrifice for the greater good, then by all means. That's your choice, and it should be one. So should total and complete failure. Me? I want to have the ability to destroy the Reapers and get out with my life.

You obviously dont know what you are talking about, the game was intended for M rated audience, i seriously doubt that you count among the intended audience.

You can cry all you want, but you have to deal with the game's ending, the end game concept is not changing, period. Its carved in stone, the most that will happen they might add a few dialogues or modify a couple of cutscenes to explain the situation a bit more but story will go down the same path. Put your ME on Amazon and go play another game. I myself love the game, will be playing it through a few more times.

The game has 48 perfect scores from various editors from around the world and the scores that are not perfect are close to perfect. I dont care one bit about what an underage adolescent layman user has to say , i care about the opinions of knowledgeable professionals , who are in the industry for a reasonable amount of time.

If I am too harsh then you earned it, dont expect cakes and strawberries from people you accuse of lacking reading comprehension.

Greywinter, you have your opinions, others have theirs. If that is too hard for you to accept then I feel sorry for you.

[Lunaluxlepus]

I'll be derided as an 'innocent child', but still, I also voted for the mega happy ending.

[DoctorCrowtgamer]

We have been sticking together and it is hurting their sales and EA's stock value. If we don't freak out,start fighting,and don't lose hope we will win and they will have to give us the endings they told us would be there to begin with. They will have no choice. Stick together people.

Hold the line for as long as it takes people.
