The ending is terrible.....its even more terrible if Bioware tries to tell us he survived on the citadel as it went all Nagasaki

wait a minute where the hell did the crucible go.

You weren't meant to notice!

I'm serious lol wtf i just now thought of that...wtf!?!??!

I just noticed that as well. Oh Bioware

Me too. Wth? 

• Another Black Plot Hole ?
• Another bug (I suppose that people noticed all along the game that in some cinematic object or people were missing or were invisible, example: Rannoch mission Shep giving to Tali a stone but Tali was olding a magical one that cannot be seen, missing weapon in some cinematics, wrong weapon in some cinematic, and so on ...)
• Or the star child doing some trick?
• Or we all took too much red sand before playing which also will explain that we did not understand the greatest ending in game history (/sarcasm)

Shepard survived a freakin fall from like ten thousands kilometers in Mass Effect 2, while grasping from air. With enough luck he can survive falling from space along with some Crucible rubble.

EDIT: I know he technically "died" in Mass Effect 2, but his body and brain were safe enough for Cerberus to rebuild him without cloning him or building a Shepard-AI. So I guess that "Shepard 2.0" here can survive such fall.

He wasn't just "technically dead".....he was literally dead as dead can be.....not coming back.....he was a slab of meat.....you're implying, that since he's the only person to ever be resurrected, that he can now survive re-entry? Um no.....

The crucible is on the far side of the Citadel in the OP's shot. It attaches to the back of the Presidium ring. It's not missing.

No space magic or indoctrination theory?
Well I'm going to go with indoctrination magic or space theory.

This is correct.

I also like how the only ending in which Shepard can live is the one where the citadel always explodes.

Makes perfect sense.

Well in the other endings Shep gets disintegrated. In ME1 a Reaper fell on Shep and he/she survived. Either fast reaction, being in the right place or pure luck will do the trick. And it can happen again. I am pretty sure someone who studied such things can explain that there is a chance that a plane can explode and crash and someone survives for some reason. Like babies fall from the 10th floor and hit the ground and survive somehow.

[NS Wizdum]

Don't think about the ending too hard, or blood will shoot out your nose.

If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

Yeah, but there is a difference between all of that and standing in the center of the explosion that destroys the Citadel.

So don't have him be disintigrated sometimes if you did well enough. Simple. Or don't have the citadel always explode in the destroy ending. Or show shepard somehow escaping in time. Something.

Not being crushed by a an object the size of a falling bus is different from first surviving the explosion of a machine the size of a car point blank to the face, then the resulting explosion of the entire space station around you specifically centered on the  area where you're at, desintigrating the entire region of said space station and causing the rest of it to fly apart, and then somehow not falling to earth and being splattered across the atmosphere. Or falling and surviving without a protective suit, if the random London concrete is any indication.

If you think those two fates are comparable in lethality then by all means explain.

Wait...I never noticed before, but if the Crucible approached from the "front" (the direction the arms close in), how did it end up behind the Presidium?

[Ultra Prism]

Shepard surviving scene in destroy is like easter egg ... I really dont buy it

That is not the "front". Those little triangular arm flaps you see there are on the base of the arms. Those triangle parts are what slide out to seal the exposed "back" of the Citadel when it closes.

[Thorn Harvestar]

For more detail on how the Citadel closes, and what side you are seeing in the cinematics, check out this earlier thread:

Ah. My bad. Thank goodness at least ONE bit of nonsense from the ending could be explained away. Thanks!

I will clarify that the Citadel arms have these triangular flaps on BOTH ENDS of each arm (allowing for a complete seal to be formed), but in the screenshot in this thread you will notice that you are seeing the end with the Presidium ring on it. (the "back", if you will)

Shepard survived due to suspension of disbelief taken to the nth degree.

I don't care how he survives he just needs to.

[Kanaris]

Far as I'm concerned Shepard didn't survive it, Seeing someone take ONE quick breath DOES NOT constitute "Surviving" which I might add is one reason I HATE this Cluster **** of an ending

Joker beamed Shepard down the the planet right after he beamed your squadmates aboard the Normandy?

The Catalyst, enraged at having his toys broken, had a temper tantrum and kicked Shepard all the way down to Earth?

The Crucible opened an interdimensional worm-hole that sucked Shepard through into the MW universe. That's generic urban battleground rubble he's lying in. Queue for ME4 FPS pre-orders now!
