 I had a random thought and needed a reason to not do homework. I was thinking if you were a Bioware development team and you needed to compromise what would you do to try to appease the the fans requesting new endings without undermining those that enjoy the current endings? (Hypothetically the extended cut won't happen). Keep it civil and try to respect ideas even if you do not agree with them.

at some point near the end, i would add another alternative to finish the game, because i think all what happens after harbingers beam feels out of place

all you need to do is add more possible ends. Go ahead and keep everything that is already there and simply add more possibilities and an epiloge... and remove to prompt telling people to buy more contentImage IPB

honestly and i say this not to be a douche but i wouldnt change a thing

if i was a developer and if i felt what my coworkers work is good enough to make the game then i would have to stick by my guns and keep the ending

look i admit the endings arent great but the only real issue i had was the cutoff regarding the crash and thats it

this new free dlc i believe will explain that so i dont think anybody needs to worry caus eheck im not despite my argument on bioware should stick by there current creation

The Normandy thing is one of the biggest issues with the ending after Star Child and different colors. How does the crew, including those with you on last mission, magically appear on Normandy and then seen running away? My crew wouldn't have left me no matter what.

the whole color thing and star child didnt bother me at all

think about this we already saw the green color in me2 when you play overlord

think back to what overlord was.

it was a project to interface david with the geth so who's to say that wasnt a form of synthesis?

also note legions mission in me3 regarding the geth server

i believe those 2 missions were there for a reason and not just for omg we have to stop the bad geth

think of those as a tease of what life could end up like years after that trilogy


heck we are doing things like that in real life

i remember seeing on the history or discovery channel that some guy in england is planning on interfacing with a computer


now to startrek fans what does that sound like?

sounds like borg


hell japan is working on eye contacts that log people onto the internet

it may sound science fiction but 50 or 100 years from now that will be our future

It didn't turn out the way some people wanted it.Seeing how it all played out, we all hope it would end on good terms.I am not mad I understand you wanted to make Shepard into a Tragic Hero.

Considering the destroy ending can(if you buy iphone apps that they seem to have an allergy to making on Android) Shepard can take a breath.. meaning he/she could survive. Maybe show closure with them finally being settled in with their romantic interest if there was one.

On a side note, after the credits I do not fully understand things. the Stargazer says the stars might contain other life.. yet we know they do.. so is all forgotten with the loss of the relays or is there something missing here.

I've not seen it yet because of bugs I can't play the game, but i hear it's pretty linear. If I were making the game, I would make those choices that are imported at the start of the game directly affect the ending.

Such as:

You talk Wrex down on virmire in the first game. You help him in the second game, and you cure the genophage in the third. Then at the end Wrex somehow sacrifices himself to save you from certain death.


or


You help legion in ME2, and he causes the geth to rebel against the reapers and take them down for you.

That sort of thing would've been interesting.

well someone on here stated someone hacked that ending and its like 10,000 years after shepards story


so im wondering will shepards tale be similar to the prothean tale we hear in me1?

i really dont see mass effect ending as a series and no i dont see a mmo coming because the old republic didnt do well


question is if a new mass effect game is coming and is set after this trilogy what is what and who is who?

will the reapers still be around? or will someone stronger then them be involved?


garuss hinted at something like it in me2

The more I think about it, that is what bothered me most about the ending was the squad crashing. I'm glad you mentioned that. It is something to think about.

i think alot of people felt the same way

also i have a theory on star child

in me1 we go to a planet and we get intel on a star being or w/e

also in me2 when you talk to garuss he mentions something like i feel sorry for who comes after the reapers

im wondering maybe if those 2 things were the teases for star child because think


star child made the reapers right? how do we know he isnt a trickster almost like the lucifer of the mass effect universe?

I may have to research that. I remember one of the planets in ME2 mentioned a Volus who believed in a starry figure.

I would add modding tools. If the fans want to fix the problems they can mod it in (and hire the voice actors >_>). But if that doesn't work and the development HQ catches on fire then I would produce more alternate endings that make sense

I remember some the Dragon Age mods got to the point they recreated an entire wedding scene and was able to add a romance in. Would be a cool idea

I'd like my Femshep to be together with Liara to the end. Whether they live or die, so long as they are together I am happy.

1. Take the Indoc Theory and run with it.  I've seen alot of pro-ending threads that attribute the awesomeness of the ending to the IT. Not saying I do, just saying it seems like the best way out. Have it start with shepard waking up from the rubble.

2. Put out a press release. "So what really happened to Shepard on London? Find out THE TRUTH this summer" Make sure to bold and highlight and underline THE TRUTH part. (May not be Bioware's idea but, once again, just take it and run with it.)

3. Release it for free.

4. Gain some consumer loyalty back.
