Hey guys. This is the first time I post in these forums. I've been reading a lot about the ending of ME3 (which I ended yesterday because I couldn't play it until now). I really hope the ending was a dream related to Harbinger trying to Indoctrinate Shepard before he destroys it.
I can't explain with words how bad I feel after I completed the game. Currently I feel deeply depressed... I don't want to do anything, I don't want to talk to anyone... I'm just terribly sad. The ending is just so wrong. I could have accepted Shepard's death, but not like this.
So many hours playing this game, building relationships with the other people. Kaidan and Garrus, who became my Shepard's best friends. Liara and Tali, very important support at difficult times. Joker, the best pilot in the galaxy... and a close friend too. Well... everybody was important. The moment before the final battle, when talking with all of them. It really seemed to be a goodbye, but I never thought it would really be.
After all, Shepard died, alone, without his friends. That's insulting for me. I really hoped to see Shepard in a Hospital, with Kaidan and Garrus taking care of his friend after the reapers were destroyed. Just like Shepard was there for Kaidan. But no, the game simply ended. And it ended without sense. You were presented 3 options, almost forced to take one of the 2 options the reapers always wanted instead of destroying them. I obviously destroyed them. I don't know if I was being indoctrinated and I resisted... and when EC arrives I will stand up with my friends and we will finally destroy Harbinger and the reapers... I just know It seems Shepard died alone, and everything which I fought for was destroyed, and everyone I cared for have died.
So guys, I'm sorry for all this nonsense... and I really REALLY hope IT theory is right... because this hurts a lot (at least to me).
Welcome to the thread.

Many people here shared your pain, but here in this topic, IT gives us hope.
Outside of this topic, well... [/salarian councilor]
If it's any consolation, one of the Bioware community reps said something along the lines of "Reuniting Shep with the crewmates is possible", so IT or not, there is reason to stay optimistic.
