I was certainly surprised at the conclusion of the trilogy when I reached it.

After I looked into the endings some more, though, I realized the ending I was expecting essentially was the "vaporization" ending where everyone (including the Reapers) is wiped out, but the safety of the next cycle is secured.  I liked my Shepard and I wanted him to succeed, but that's just what I thought was coming.  I also thought it could be really powerful end it like that, even though it would make me feel like crap.

What kind of ending were you guys expecting?  And what would you think of one where the only way to stop the Reapers for good is to vaporize all other sentient life along with them, and only ensure that the next cycle is saved?

One where I wasn't being forced down a "Hero has to die to save everyone" cliche

A happy one.

With blue children.

[comrade gando]

certainly not the ending we got. the game's about choices right? so how come we don't have a choice (and no picking the freaking color doesn't count) as to how it ends?

If this was just a 3rd person shooter with no choices involved, I'd have been like well that ending sucked oh well, but no this story had me straight up involved. built shepard to be some kind of hero that I admired, then to see him reduced to a wimp and I have no input whatsoever. LAME

[Galifreya]

One with 16 different endings.

[FlamingBoy]

something that wasn't stupid

[nhcre8tv1]

The suicide mission on steroids, followed by something emotional and heroic that we didn't get.

[Reign762]

Many endings. Where choices mattered.

[hoodaticus]

I expected an ending like what we got in the freaking trailers. I expected to TAKE earth back - not blow it up or be given it back at the push of a reaper off button.

What I dang sure didn't expect was to serve up the military forces of the galaxy on a stranded platter to be fed to starving Krogan.

I didn't expect the human race to be friggin pwned.

I was hoping for endings that didn't end up being referred to by colors to note their differences.

[Khayness]

An ending in touch with the franchise themes. The last-minute-almost supernatural-exposition-godchild telling me nonsensical things isn't quite what I had in mind.

[Aaleel]

Varied depending on my choices.

You may want to make the question.

"What kind of ending(s) did you expect?"

[_aLucidMind_]

Something that actually made sense and the writers thought up on their own rather than going "Hur dur Deux Ex had gud ending, luts cawpy dis. Know budy will no!"

[jijeebo]

One that belonged in the ME story, made sense, and didn't require a DLC patch 3 months later to explain what the frick happens to the galaxy.

... I also wanted to adopt a baby krogan with Kaidan. :3

I was expecting sacrifice (but a meaningful one at least), also, that it will be possible for Shepard to be alive at the end of the game if you did everything right.

I kind of predicted that they will come up with something like Escape from L.A. ending, and they did, but they really took it to a new level.

[cogsandcurls]

Before playing the game? Lots of choice, a spliced-together battle cutscene reflecting your choices, the possibility of a Reaper win OR a heroic sacrifice OR neither of the above. Possibly a necessary sacrifice of something important even in the happier choices, like Anderson or the Normandy or even Earth. I was really excited.

When the complaints started coming out and I actually started playing the game? Like OP, I harboured suspicions that I was going to have to wipe out the entire cycle in order to free the galaxy from the Reapers for good and forever (especially once Liara turned up with the black box). Then as the game trundled on I thought Shep was going to wind up being the Catalyst because she was special in a hand-wavey kind of way and would have to make a Heroic Sacrifice to save the universe. I kind of rolled my eyes at the "oh god are they going to make her The Chosen One like every other story ever" cliche but I didn't mind the idea of a sacrifice, since my Shepard was gunning for one anyway. Then the actual ending turned out to be worse.

The worst thing is that when you squint and look at Green a certain way, I was sort of close to the mark with the second idea re: Shepard the Unlikely Messiah.

[Warod]

In the last 30 minutes, i expected a few suicide mission-type choices. Sending people to their deaths (a la Virmire). A lot of sadness and despair. Then i expected my Shep to face a choice : Renegade : Destroy the reapers and take half the Galaxy with them, but survive. Paragon : Sacrifice yourself to destroy the reapers and lessen the damage to the rest of the Galaxy.

Bittersweet i know. But still victorious and uplifting!

In the end all i got was disappointment.

[KingNothing125]

I thought London would be a Suicide Mission on steroids. Anderson even says "choose your squad well"... perfect segue into choosing specialists and fireteam leaders and such.

"Shepard, we could use a sniper to cover us while we advance."
"I think the King of the Bottle Shooters can handle that. Garrus, you're on it."

"Shepard, a Mako broke down near your position. We need that firepower to take out that Destroyer. Can you help?"
"Tali, see what you can do."


Then I thought the Crucible was going to, you know, work like a super weapon is supposed to work. Kill All The Things. Without some dumb genre-breaking ghostly apparition who railroads me into three intentionally-crappy choices.

I am a completionist, and my EMS was well above the required line for the "good" endings. I expected to live and to have a "happy", heroic ending like ME1 and ME2.

[Apathy1989]

Ultimately all I wanted was to destroy the reapers. I was expecting variations on success or failure, depending on how well I made decisions. I was expecting squadmates to die, or shepard himself also from my decisions.

Was not expecting RGB ending we got though.

Edit: I was also expecting some prologue hinting at the fate of the galaxy afterwards. Mostly hinting at the future of squadmates though.

How ME3 should have ended: http://www.youtube.c...EjqATxA#t=0m56s

How it ended as of right now:

[savionen]

I expected a wide variety ranging from the Reapers winning to blue children.

[Thornne]

I expected a "Reaper's Win" ending was possible, because they claimed there would be one. I guess they just meant "Critical Mission Failure".

I suspected the 'good' ending to involve a choice between Shepard-self sacrifice or some other huge loss (like the Normandy and all crew aboard, LI included).

You do realize, that everything in the galaxy gets vaporized, right?

I'll let you chew on that for a moment.

That is, every star system that has a Mass Relay in it, of course.

all other star systems that aren't Relay connected, are meaningless.

Pretty much this
