kudos OP. loved it!

[Fattness132]

Really nice, OP. Thanks.

Wow, this is pretty good.  It assumes the ending was completely literal, though, huh?  That's ok, I really don't know what else to make of it either without hurting my brain.

Not only did you get this out ahead of BioWare's announcement, it means that their attempt to hog ownership of the series by wresting control away from Shepard and destroying the series' setting has failed.

Now that you've provided closure, the only question left to answer about the ending is...why?

[jds1bio]

More people need to see this. Maybe change the topic heading?

[CPTHughJardon]

this is great thank you for you're time and effort

 If Bioware makes this epilogue generator canon then all is forgiven.

I just wanted to say, my intent in posting this is not to steal the thunder of whatever announcement BioWare may be planning. I've actually been working on this site for a couple of weeks. I would hope that getting a look at the reaction to these epilogue slides would actually be helpful to the writing team -- not in terms of giving them any specific ideas, but in letting them see what kinds of elements the fans like or don't like.

For instance, so far I've noticed that most of the specific feedback focuses on romance elements -- fans really want their romances to be acknowledged and resolved in some kind of satisfying way, and bugs that interfere with the romance story tend to be especially grating. After that, fans seem to care about world-building consistency; they don't want the "rules" of the setting to be violated.

I would hope that observations like that might be useful for the writing team. My intention, anyway, was always to be helpful.

What do you think would be a better heading?

I just don't want to represent this as something it's not (basically, I don't want to imply that it's official in any way).

If you don't fill out all of the required elements of the form, it will give you an error.

How about "The CLOSURE you've been seeking.  (Fan made)."

Very nice work. Now, if this could be expanded to include choices for Tuchanka, and an epilogue of how it went after the war as well, that would be great. As is, this is likely the only hope for sanity in the ME3 endings. Quit the second you get the the Crucible, and read these instead. Works well.

[Siduri]

It also occurs to me -- I don't want to spam a lot of threads myself, but if you *like* the slides *and* you happen to be participating in other discussions of the endings, maybe you could post the link in some of the other threads? That would be another way of getting more attention for the slides.

[thinicer]

Maybe that's what I really need - a long epilogue. I could live with the color choices if there was a long and extended epilogue and not some grandfather and his grandson in space winter talking about "the Shepard."

I totally get that.  It's just that what you've done through the letters, articles, etc. is spin a satisfying ending that doesn't depend on any one overwrought trope (sunshine and rainbows, ephemeral intelligentsia, the "where are they now" slides, etc.) that has hampered a lot of the fan fiction endings to date.

That is so nice to hear. Thank you.

[Sohlito]

Wow, just wow.

Thank you for this, seriously.

I don't know why the game ended this way, but rest assured you haven't stolen anyone's thunder.  You've set people free, in a way.  Perhaps some of them will be inspired to start another playthrough of ME3 that they've been putting off for so long.

Infinitely better than the turd sandwich we received.

Kudos.

Awww, yeah. Got that house on Rannoch. Garrus got his vid royalties. All is right with the 'verse.


This fellow needs his/her own book deal.

[Apocsapel91]

Well, it's not perfect, but I guess it does a fairly good job salvaging the mess of the endings we got.

[thesnake777]

That was good thanks.

[SuperVulcan]

That was great. Thanks.

[Tov01]
