First there is numbness.

Then there is searching for a reason to like it.

Then there is exploring all the options from your last save game just before the section where you fire the rockets (last place you can do a save). It is here all the plot holes expose themselves.

Then there is a feeling of emptiness.

Then there is anger of having 9 100% playthroughs of ME1 and ME2 waiting to go through ME3 with different classes and one perfect paragon and one perfect assh*** Shepard. All for this ending where no matter which one you choose, Shepard dies, all the mass relays explode, but in two of them the reapers are not destroyed and in all of them you commit genocide. By the way I chose Red my first time, just because Irina Shepard always completes her mission. After doing Blue and Green to see what they were, I did Red again just because it killed the little starf**k.

Now you start liking the ending about as much as an Asari likes fin rot.

And now you demand a better and epic ending that the game deserves.


Describes my reaction almost perfectly. (Except for the 9 playthroughs. I was planning to do those after finishing ME3.) I agonized over the choice for a few minutes, then chose red for the same reason. Then, when the relays blew up, I thought I'd made a mistake. Silly me.

I like how you say you liked the ending, then complain about the same things a lot of people complain about the ending.


Right, I'll reword: I don't complain. I would have liked "more time" with the characters I loved, true, but I understand why the ending gives you no clues on many things. In that way, I can decide for myself how the universe my Shepard helped shape is going to evolve and what the characters I liked most will live from then on. Not everything should be explained. I respect that decision.

Anyway, back on track: anyone else liked the ending as it is now?


Nope. And based on your statements, you don't either. It seems more like you just accepted it, not that you really enjoyed it.

Personally. I always expected Space Jesus to end up dying for our sins. Just didn't expect one way for it come about as a result of taking a header into a laser beam.

The control ending was pretty much the one I was expecting.

Yeah, some other people liked the ending and you are not the only one. Glad you liked it though! :)

I for one didn't have the pleasure of enjoying the current ending, but hey tough luck on my side, i'll just sit down and hold the line.

I liked the ending too, OP.  As for this....

What I would have hoped for was an extended sequence during the final sacrifice showing Shepard thinking and seeing the final moments of all your squadmates and known characters, leaving the LI as the last one, as a way for him to bid them goodbye. I would have also liked to see during the credits what were the consequences of all your decisions during the game, like what happens to geth and quarians if you made them live on the same planet, and what happens to the krogans now that they are cured from the genophage, etc.


...I imagine this sort of stuff will appear in the next Mass Effect game, if there is one.

I didn't particularly like the ending but I understand what they were going for. I do think that the lack of any meaningful epilogue was a huge oversight on Bioware's part and I don't see how they possibly could not have foreseen the resulting backlash.

Yes, I enjoyed the ending that I chose for very specific reasons. However, I see that we're on track for the usual hostile/trollish responses, etc.

I kind of like the concept of Shepard becoming a glowing Reaper God, which is kind of what control does having Shepard replacing annoying Deus kid (if your consciousness was destroyed you couldn't control anything).

I agree with you about the ending and leading up to the ending. You knew you were probably not coming back.
 Seeing your LI would have been a nice touch during his last thoughts... but you do get to see them stepping out of the Normandy in the final scene before the credits.

As for seeing how everything pans out after your sacrifice or when you are shown still breathing, I think new games will fill those blanks in, maybe some DLC and I am definately good with that. That is what I hope to see, how the galaxy works together and maybe even splinters during the rebuilding period.

I don't want any prequels or a different characters story during the same time period, I want to see what comes next.
