What makes me sad here is, that with that dark age thing in mind everything I did before was pointless. I destroyed the Collector base, cured the Genophage, made peace on Rannoch, helped dozens of other people etc. For what? For nothing.
Shepard could be in a bed since ME1 and nothing would be different.
Really sad.

Hey, if Shepard would still be in bed, the relays wouldn't be gone and new generations could roam the stars for quite a while in the next cycle!

Shepard blew up all the relays (unsure if all the starsystems too, as seen in the Arrival, thus killing untold numbers of organics).

Reapers were created to save organics from synthetics, but the geth/quarian peace didn't mean anything to the godchild.

He did say that Shepard is partly synthetic.

Maybe the godchild saw the future and was all along trying to save (in his own twisted way) the galaxy from Shepard!

Lots of speculation!

If a 10,000+ year "galactic dark age" really followed ME3, then that creates even MORE questions than were already created by the ending. Why would this happen to planets like Thessia and Earth? Especially Earth, considering the all the people from the various races left over there.

And then it's also a slap in the face because it invalidates a lot of what you did throughout ME1-ME3. Even worse if the stargazer scene is indeed on the planet the Normandy crashed on.

GUYS!!

Have you considered for a moment that this is just a note?

" 1: We see a child, maybe they look a little bit asari, a little bit human. They are looking at the stars on a planet some 10,000 years after the events of the game."

The way I read it: It can be asari OR human. Asari and Human shapes from that distance are very alike.
That phrase DOES NOT say it is a hybrid. ''it looks a little bit human'' ,,,,,,,,,,, ''a little bit asari'' -> it is not a shape where you can say ''for sure''.
Seriously...

You're not the first one to point that out. Most people also don't seem to understand what "singular they" is, so they keep assuming that "they" means both kid (for a strange reason many people also just assume the kid is a boy, even though nothing suggest that) and "grandfather" (which was in quotes already in text - wonder why), while it's obvious it's about kid alone - singular they is used for example to avoid gender pronounce.

IMO looks like a way to introduce Shepard's progeny. If you were mShep in romance with Ashley there's a chance it would be human. But if not, then it would be Shep and Liara's (no matter if you romanced her or not - remember her "gift" just before the end of the game? That's actually how asari reproduce, sex isn't necessary - there's another thread discussing if Liara "took advantage" of Shepard).

^This.  Even in-game, the entirety of human written history is a fraction of 10,000 years. Yet we went from not even thinking that traveling among the stars was possible to FTL.  In this new dark age, we start from a point where we know that starflight is possible.
With all the dead reapers lying around, its not like eezo is going to be hard to get hold of. Sure, infrastucture is mostly borked, but it didn't take us 10K years to build it in the first place, it won't take us that long to rebuild it.

It is fairly clear from these comments that some people just do not understand how big collaborative projects get made.

People seem to be under the impression that everyone who works on ME must have encyclopaedic knowledge of the Codex. This is a ridiculous assumption.

This note is just that, a flavour note to help guide the team. It has already been pointed out that from the way it is worded that the assumption that it can only mean that it is referring to half-asari, half-human people is not correct. It is obviously guidance to an artist or somesuch so that the figures at the end are vague enough or far enough away that they/she could seem to be of either species.

Also, it never appears in the game that it states that the child is half human / half asari and that it is set 10,000 years later, so people are making accusations of 'fail' and 'idiots' with no foundation whatsoever.

Also, treating the Codex as gospel truth is actually not wise. The Codex can make mistakes, and ideas can be modified. In-game trumps Codex, just as what we see in SW films trumps EU stuff.

Therefore, a mountain out of a molehill.

This. People are overreacting, I know we are all on edge because of the polemic with the endings but be reasonable people.

And this, my friends, what needed to be proven. Your numerous indoctrination theories have gone to waste.

Assuming it's true, 10,000 years and they haven't developed their own technology yet? WTF?

Hey they're male Asari with space magic, what do they need technology for? They can alter the laws of the universe at will!

Stop it! You are making me cry

Well, if you ran synthesis, it might rewire asari pairings, too.

OTOH, I'm now tempted to sing "in the year ten thouusaaaaand" in a falsetto.

Oh lord...please don't tell me this is what they intend to do.

[Ieldra]

My interpretation:

The stargazer scene takes place on a lost colony. Joker can't be the only ship of the fleet thrown out of FTL and crashing somewhere. The lost colony never reconnected with the rest of the galaxy and they don't know that a galactic civilization is just beyond the horizon.

This scene needs to be placed far in the future for the conversation to make sense. What it doesn't need is represent the state of galactic civilization. That's open to our imagination.

I didn't care about the asari/human thing... I focused on the 10k years afterwards.

[shadey]

it looked like a human male and a human child, no idea where people are getting asari from

it wasn't on earth because there was 2 moons, humans had inhabited alot of other planets remember.

As if the ending werent confusing enough, now we have this sh!t to contend with D:
