:whistle:Just as a notice, i don't claim credit for these! that would be a really crummy thing to do.

Old! The author could once be talked to on LiveJournal at this link: masseffect.livejournal.com/1453834.html



Introducing ---- ALTERNATE FAN MADE ENDINGS FOR MASS EFFECT 3 version 5 - now with femshep!
              OP reformatted for your viewing pleasure!

So what is it? :   A different look into how Mass Effect 3 could have ended (in screenplay format.) So far, seven out of seven endings are done, and there are many different dialogue wheel options for paragons, renegades, and investigation.

How long is it?  : He has gone into a lot of detail with his work. Right now it's over 190 pages! That means 27 pages of "choice-making boss battling" with Starchild and Harbinger, with tons of room for all the rest! Keep in mind that a good deal of the size is related to how screenplays are formatted. Large chunks of page are dedicated to paragraph breaks and single line placements (such as character names and locations.)

Who made it?  :   A writer (alias Grub) who has been watching this whole ME3 debacle unfold, has seen the endings, and wanted to make new endings as an exercise in writing "interactive fiction."

Why is it getting released here? :  He let me read his work, and I liked it so much, I asked if I could post them here! He said yes, as long as I credited him.

Why should I read it? :    Grub has tried finding all the ways that ME fans (and himself) were frustrated with the ending. This time there's a boss fight, conversation-style, to reflect your choices as a player, and they help determine which ending you would get. Got a beef with the Starchild's logic and want to rant about it? Did you ever want to tell him how stupid he is? Did you really, really want to say no to his solutions? Now you can!

Which endings are complete right now? : All of them! And here they are.

*         "Heroes" - Shepard becomes the ultimate hero/heroine and defeats the Reapers his/her own way. (Grub's Favorite) Pg. 28
*         "Destroy" - This is a rewritten Destroy ending, complete with the consequences of your actions, and reactions from team members and Shepard himself. Contains both "Rise" and "Hermit" sub-paths. Pg. 53
*         "Control" - For both paragons and renegades. Like the destroy ending, this is retooled and has two different versions, each with a different mood and outcome. Pg. 73 & Pg. 83
*         "Corruption" - What if Shepard was completely indoctrinated by Harbinger in the Crucible? What if he/she betrayed the galaxy? What if the Reapers won? This ending explores that possibility. Pg. 88
*        "...To The End" - What if Shepard rejected Starchild's decisions and let the war play out on its own? Pg. 118
*         "Synthesis"     - A completely rewritten "Green" ending. What does merging all life in the Galaxy really do?
And what are the consequences of having the mastermind of the Reapers do it? Pg. 128
*         "Miracle Man"/"Magic Woman" - Shepard defeats the Reapers and reunites with his/her team! (My favorite!)  Pg. 138

And now Grub is working on character resolutions for the "Miracle Man"/"Magic Woman" ending!


Which character resolutions are complete right now? : Some, and they'll be sorted into "normal resolutions" and "final endings," the latter of which decide how Shepard spends the rest of his life (and with who!)

Normal resolutions completed:
   James Vega
   Tali'Zorah nar Rayya vas Normandy
   Garrus Vakarian

Final Endings completed:
  
Tali'Zorah nar Rayya vas Normandy

And you can see the rest of the ones he's planning at the end of the file.

Ok, enough jibber-jabber. So where the heck do I download this thing? :   Right here!

Male Shepard

Female Shepard   NEW!! If there are any non-sensical leftover bits from the Maleshep version that haven't been changed or corrected, please post the problem in this thread! thank you!

_______________________________________________

And that's about it right now. He's had the link to this topic for a while now, so anything you want to say, post a comment here or anywhere else this topic is linked :happy:


If you want to PM him, PM me and I'll forward it to him (he has an account here, it's just not registered to post on the spoiler forums) but he might have me post something from him here as well

hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

I think that when Bioware 'clarifies' the ending, we are going to get something like this. I applaud your work, but I think I would prefer it if the Star Child wasn't in the ending at all.

Whoa! Cool! Someone gave this thread some love!

Grub wants to thank you guys for giving this some modicum of attention. He's still working on more endings :)

He also wants to know if you guys have any comments or suggestions. I think he's really enjoying writing so many different outcomes. "Whatever gets me another chance to grow some chest hair in the Mass Effect universe," he says.

Interesting... Now if only these could be rescripted into the game. I guess actual voices wouldn't work, but maybe just subtitles?

I saw the "animated storyboard happy ending" clips. I guess you could sort of do it like that on YouTube, with different "annotations" overlaid onto the clips to represent different choices? Click on them and go to a different clip.

This must be it! These are truly awesome endings! Both the Indoctrination and Renegade Control Endings brought a tear to my eyes. Brilliant.

The corruption ending brought chills up my spine, but I'm really looking forward to the Synthesis ending, which I consider to be the crreiest and most disgusting in the game itself.

Just a quick update:

One of the endings, "Dark Cycle," is getting written out because another ending is "down" enough to take its place.

Shameless bump, and a quick comment from Grub.

"Writing Renegade Shepard is really, really fun. Oh. My God. The whole galaxy is just expecting you to be a selfless hero, but then Shep acting self-important completely goes against that and I can't stop enjoying myself."

( Added emphasis mine :P )

Bump.
Bioware, why can't you write an ending as good as this?
Would it have taken too long? Maybe you needed to rush out the game?
Mind boggling.

I'll give it a look when I get home tonight. I'm actually enjoying all of these endings everyone on the forum and outside have been creating so far and I'm looking forward to reading this one. Seriously though, thanks everyone for putting out the time and effort for making these better endings.
