For me, it was when Harbinger shoots Shep with the beam. A weapon that can slice through starships like they are wet tissue paper, but shep somehow survives it to the face.

It all went downhill, extremely quickly from that point.

Kai Leng ...
... every appearance of KL foreshadowed even worse plot to come.

The first time the crucible was mentioned. I got used to it after a couple of hours though.

Good catch ... I totally forgot the feeling I had when they mentioned a device that could stop the reapers.

My first warning sign was the beginning which seemed really rushed and under-written (strange time-leap, lots of things unresolved). After the very good middle part of the game, I started thinking that this might be a minor mistake and the rest of the story would be awesome. Then the star-child appeared and the whole world went mad.

Hovering elevator of light.

THIS. remembering this makes me mad. what treachery is this?
you merely die (or not) while trying to press the button then an elevator of light from nowhere transports you to the upper level outside in SPACE without a helmet and all things turn to poop!

My first uh-oh was the toy ship at the very beginning of the game. Seeing it and thinking it was an actual ship with terrible animation made me cry out in horror. Then I saw it was just a toy. My second uh-oh when I first saw James Vega. My third uh-oh was the hilariously awful sprinting animation that Anderson has. My forth was when EDI got a body. My fifth was Kai Lang; my sixth was Tali's picture. My seventh, TIM showing up on the Citadel. Everything after that gets folded into the seventh (DAMN YOU STARCHILD!)

"I know what you did, Shepard!"

Uh-oh.

[Erield]

The very first one?  Well, I was on Mars and Liara was telling me about some ancient Prothean device that might just serve to destroy everyone.

I was completely wrong in how it was terrible, but that was the first clue.  There were a couple of others along the way, but Thessia actually put my mind at ease.  I was just thinking to myself, "Ya know, part of the problem with video game stories is that the actual storytelling is not as mature as in other mediums.  Almost exclusively, we are given the following scenario: hero succeeds, or it is game over."  Yes, I think about random stupid crap like that.  Most of the games that have poignant story success-but-failure elements are among my absolute favorite of all time: Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6 and 7, etc.

I guess my point is that Shepard fails on Thessia.  The way this was handled and portrayed gave me renewed hope that Bioware would pull off something amazing with the ending, and in a way that I had not forseen.  Well, they sure went a route that I would have never guessed, but...

When Udina betrayed us with no explanation or drama.

[Joccaren]

The second I heard about the Crucible. There and then I was "BIOWARE! WHY! WHY PULL A MAGIC BULLET! YOU SAID NO LONG LOST REAPER OFF BUTTON! Oh well, I can live with this... I guess... Man this is disappointing, I was expecting some epic way of beating the Reapers, not a device that destroys them all. Gah, Ok....".
/me gets to end
"OH NO, BIOWARE! YOU DID NOT JUST INTRODUCE THIS STUPID GOD THING AT THE END OF THE GAME? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU JUST RUINED! AND WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SINGULARITY BS. THE BATTLE WAS NEVER ABOUT A TECH SINGULARITY. WHAT ABOUT SOVEREIGN, ABOUT HARBINGER! BIOWARE! WHY? WHY RESORT TO ALL THESE CHEAP STORY TELLING TECHNIQUES? YOU COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING EPIC! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN I ONLY GET 3 ENDINGS, AND NONE OF MY CHOICES MATTER. WHAT ABOUT THE RACHNI PLAYING A MAJOR PART IN THE FINAL BATTLE? YEAH, 100 WAR ASSETS IS A REALLY BIG PART OF 7000. FFS BIOWARE, HOW DID YOU DROP THE BALL LIKE THIS? WHY? Gah. Oh Jesus. I wonder what the Sh**storm on BSN is going to be like..."

[ArminW68]

Mars.
After having read previously that there wouldn't simply be some "long lost reaper-off button" and then actually finding the PLANS for some long lost reaper-off button. Conveniently placed right next door to earth, ignored for 30 years and, even more conveniently, discovered the very day the invasion hits. By both the Alliance AND Cerberus simultaneously...

Actually, the whole explanation (or, more like, complete lack thereof) was so cheap, cheesy and hamfisted that, during most of the excellent midgame (Tuchanka, Rannoch), I was expecting some clever plot twist around this silly McGuffin.

Boy, was I surprised when the twist that came was actually for the worse...

People generally like the London mission, but I have to say that I started feeling a little put off when we landed on Earth and all of a sudden we were introduced to a bunch of human characters I didn't give a damn about playing a pivotal part in the proceedings. I mean, who's this random human marine with Anderson that's suddenly calling shots? Where are all my friends and allies that I've made throughout the course of three games and how do THEY figure into this mission? All of a sudden this is feeling less and less like Mass Effect and more like some other game with some other tone.

So I would have to say my first "uh-oh" moment was when we landed on Earth.

[rivqa]

The sequence getting to the beam. When I got hit, I didn't realise that it was auto-cutscened and thought I was going to have to reload. The ensuing radio dialogue was confusing (how did they miss Anderson and Shepard getting in?) and it was generally all downhill from there.

Not to say that everything before then was perfect, but I didn't notice it at the time.

[Frozen83]

Commander Shepard, nothing's happening. It must be something on your side.
First reaction "F*** off, I'm done", second "Oh, now what?!". M.

[Tirranek]

Grunt's stand against the Racchni. Thought he was going to die for sure.

[navi88hh]

When the VI on the TIM space station told me the citadel was moved to earth. Just like that.

I thought...Wtf? Yeah right...

From then things slowly started to fall apart. Especially the rundown to the beam before entering the citadel. I was constantly looking behind me if Liara was still ok. And then after I got hit I looked behind me and didn't see Liara with me anymore. Reloaded my save and still not. and again still not. Must have been a bug I thought and continued. The TIM confrontation was disappointing, the ascend with the elevator and the parts after were just like switching to another game. This wasn't Mass Effect anymore. I must have been indoctrinated or something. 2 days guys, and we will know more. We will have closure one way or the other. Either bioware continues our adventure, or it's bye bye bioware.

[PyroMattFTW]

First would be on Mars with the introduction of the Crucible.  I really wasn't a fan of the whole super-weapon idea.  But that wasn't too big a deal for me.

The first real moment came when you discover the Citadel is the Catalyst.  Facepalm.  Things just went downhill from there.

[Beti88]

The first warning was the 'reveal' at Thessia. I was like, "Don't. Don't go there"

And then everything after Shepard touches down on Earth turned out to be an insultingly stupid mess. And there are no words that can describe my pain, disappointment and anger when the Starchild appeared.

[Pelle6666]

The elevator and then Shepard's lame response, or lack there of. Then the tree options, and then the Normandy crash scene and then credits... Then I was pissed off... Then stargazer scene... I was ready to kill! but I went to bed instead.

[Inxentas]

When Javik said something similar to "War is our sculptor, and we are prisoners to it's design".

Starchild just comfirmed what I already feared.

"No, the Citadel is a part of me." <--- Nothing to see here, **** this, I'm going home!

The heavenly elevator of light!

At first I thought "Ok, just roll with it, it'll be ok" and then Starchild appeared! But even then I thought to myself "It's ok, he's just there for a bit of Q & A so he tell me what the hell has been going on", errrrrmmmmmmmmmm, no!

And silly, foolish, naive little me truely believed that as I was staggering towards the blue light that there would at least be an epilogue, even though Shep is gonna die, I'll find out what happens to the crew and everything else, nope! It was just a truck load of fail from the elevator onwards!

Why Bioware, Why?????

When my Shepard disappeared in the Destroy ending, I started to worry. I kept faith until I saw the credits. I couldn't believe that this was it. Then, I putted down the controller and had the biggest, longest, and most aghast double-facepalm of my life.


Then I came here, to see what I did wrong. It was one day after it's release. I've not recovered yet.

Although, to be honest I started to suspect something when Tali told me with a shaky voice "I want more time..."
I thought she just worried to much. How little did I knew.

I did this.... along with some frustrated tears XD

Though think mine was when my femshep was talking to Garrus for the last time... I was like.... should I be facepalming myself sooner?
