Lets play a game of list the plot holes
#1 How was everyone killed on the Citadel without damaging it.
#2 How does EMS affect the ending in the way it does? How does having more soldiers make a difference in the way they put it.
#3 When did Anderson dash for the beam?
#4 How did Kohaku know you were alive? How did he know it was you on the Crucible? Why wouldn't he have thought it was Anderson?
#5 They were building the beacon in London before there was any reason to believe the Citadel would be brought to Earth. Why? What purpose did linking London and the Citadel have in the first place? What the hell were the Reapers planning?
#6 Control... why does control destroy your body? Who is in control? Did you become one with the Reapers? But since when were the Reapers a hive mind? Sure there are many minds in each Reaper, but what happened? Was Shepard's personality spread throughout the Reapers similar to what happened with Legion? Its a possible explanation I suppose, but overall? It makes no sense. I mean, if you want a Space Jesus ending? I'd say that is it.
#7 Synthesis... how does an energy pulse change people into synthetic-hybrids? Nanobots could maybe do it, but an energy pulse? Stretches rational suspension of disbelief to its limits.
#8 Destroy... How does it pick out between regular tech and synthetics? How is it possible for Shepard to survive it when he's pretty much told it will kill him. In fact this and Synthesis are pretty much the only ones that even hint at death. So how does that work? More importantly, how does having a bigger fleet make the difference between destroying the universe and only destroying synthetics? In fact, why does one ending destroy buildings but leaves people completely unharmed.
#9 The Normandy... that's all that needs to be said. STRAIGHT out of nowhere and comes off as Joker being a damned coward. It literally seemed thrown in just for the sake of symbolism rather than sense.
#10 Starchild... why does he look like that boy? Yes, ok, symbolism. I love symbolism... but why does he look like that boy? No seriously, why? If I saw something like that, I'd assume that they were reading my mind and trying to guilt trip and manipulate me, otherwise they better have a damned good explanation. I'm not going to get into his logic because, well... robot revolutions are always based on faulty logic.

I'm glad you liked the ending, but it was far from a well-written one. Maybe the Extended Cut will fix this, maybe not. Doesn't change that it shouldn't have been necessary in the first place though.
1 - radiation
2 - space battle
3 - behind you..or before you as blast propelled him
4 - sensors
5 - they chose london for the scenery
6 - same way harbinger did
7 - radiation mutates and its energy
8 - neutron radiation destroys bio but not synthetic matter
9 - joker never once goes on away missions...coward ?
10 - you answered your own question
1- Radiation would also destroy the machinery and probably the keeper, but they are both fine. Not to mention the Citidel most likely has radiation shields.
2- Yeah, that question was pretty weak, although it shouldn't affect the choices you get.
3- He does say he's behind you, but if you turn aroun he's not there, in fact no matter where you look he can't be seen.
4- What sensors? There were no sensors mentioned in any of the games except at the entrence (which looked nothing like where you were), and the Normady's airlock (which it obviously is not.
5- So, it did turn you into a Reaper? That's a bit... crap, isn't it?
6- Which has nothing to do with the story. They could have easily waited to mention London until they needed it for the story.
7- Uh huh, you do realize that most radiation caused mutations are cancer right... not to mention it makes no sense for it to affect the entire galaxy.
8- So, it does just the opposite of what it does in real life. That's... well insanly idiotic comes to mind.
9- Apparently you missed the part where Joker had Vrolik Syndrome. To quote Joker in Mass Effect 2, "What was I supposed to do, break my arm at them?" That's not cowardice, it's choosing not to be a stupid dead weight. Also, at every other moment he was flying towards the battle (Ilos, Battle of the Citidel, Collector Ship, Collector Base, Rannoc, and the battle of Earth), all of a sudden he's flying away from the battle. How is that not out of character?
10- Yeah, he kind of did.
I've got a few more plot holes.
1. How are you communicating with Anderson and Hackett without any kind of working radio?
2. How did Anderson reach the control room before you, when there was absolutely no sign of any "the dark hallway," that he mentioned.
3. How did the Keeper and all of the Equipment Survive.
4. How did TIM appear out of no where?
5. Why didn't Anderson push the button instead of reasoning with you?
6. How did TIM get the ability to control people?
7. Why am I shooting at the pipe?
8. Why am I walking towards the explosion?
9. Why did the Reapers not destroy the Citidel when security was laxed?
10. Why move the Citidel to Earth instead of to the dark zone?
11. How did the Mass Relay Explosion not kill everything?
12. Why do all of the endings look the same with different colors?
13. Why introduce a new character 5 mintues before the ending when every writting class, every good writer, and every single expert on writing says that's a terrible idea?
14. Why had a deus ex machina when a giant fight between the forces you've gathered and the Reapers would be so much more satisfying for most people?
15. Why do Shepard's eyes turn into those blue bullseye things like TIM's unless you choose destruction?
Retour en haut
