Artistic integrity!

[CrazyRah]

That would require logic, that's not welcome in the endings

[VendettaI154]

Why doesn't s/he call the Normandy to pick them up and then use the Normandy to blast the tube? How does shooting a tube activate the pulse wave anyway? The ending raises far too many of those kinda questions.

[The Spamming Troll]

why doesnt shep shoot the destroy tube, while holding onto the control rods, then throw himself into synthesises light beam?

what then catalyst?

[20x6]

He did so, so that if his magic gun with infinite ammo ran out of ammo he could attack with his hands and teeth!

If, before his last shot, Shepard said: "We'll bang, okay?", I may have forgiven the ridiculous ending slightly!

I don't think Shepard is Stretch Armstrong.

He obviously didn't expect to live through it, so he would rather get engulfed in flames rather than be sucked out into space like last time.

Considering the vacuum of space couldn't keep Shepard from coming back last time, I would have taken my chances.

Well, my Shepard didn't because she planned on dying; her only reason for continuing was to destroy the Reapers.

Colonist- Lost her entire family and all her friends
Sole Survivor- Lost 50 of her men to Threshers

ME1- Cared for Kaidan as a friend; died on Virmire. Lost Jenkins. The scientists on Tera Nova asteroid.

ME2- Died and was brought to life; already feeling guilty she survived and felt she let those who died down before she died, she feels worse due to being brought back to life. Lost Jacob (her love interest) and Zaeed in the Suicide Mission. Romances Thane afterwards (did all side-missions and DLC afterwards). Then Arrival happened.

ME3- Looses Thane to Kai Leng. Reaper attack on Earth causes her to flashback to when she was a child on Mindoir. Grieves for Mordin and Legion, but isn't affected by them as they went out on their own terms.

She only fought to kill the Reapers which, in her mind, would be getting revenge on death itself and vowed she will join those she (feels she has) let down once she "kills death". This Shepard went out the way she wanted to; my canon cannot because not one of the three endings suit her.

I guess Shepard figured he/she was gonna die anyway as starkid implies it'll fry his synthetic parts.

In the red endings , why doesn't Shep use his/her gun and shoot those tubes from a good ways away? I mean s/he runs into the explosion. Was there ever a stated reason for this..Besides Artiest Integrity:wizard:( since someone will always post that)

It doesn't matter how near/far Shepard is. Because the synthetic destroying energy wave will hit him anyway, which would kill him according to the Catalyst.

Perhaps Shepard would prefer a quick death in an explosion over a slow painful death from his synthetic implants(which his like half his body, likely including several of his internal organs.)

That would be hilarious wouldn't it. He just stands there, shoots it, job done. Catalyst looks at him with a poopy face and disappears. Shepard grins and says 'Haha, dick.'

End credits.

Cue soundtrack

For some reason, that song always makes me think of this.

That would be an extra artistic ending. The reapers were truly unbeatable.

[umadcommander]

because they thought it looked cool? thats the only reason i can think of

[Drake-Shepard]

Did you see the size of the explosion....it covered the entire inner ring of the citadel..even if you used a sniper rifle from 5km away you would still be incinerated.

But then again nothing else made sense

"Artistic Intergerty" thats why.

[sistersafetypin]

The real reason we weren't allowed CAINs, we would have shot the contraption

[Mcfly616]

I don't get why people care about the "shooting the tube" part......not like it matters if he stands back and shoots them(yes it is stupid that he walks into them)....either way, the whole Citadel erupts so he should be incinerated no matter what.....

This.


Shepard would be dead if he fired at the tube from Zakera Ward.....it doesnt matter where he was.....the whole Citadel EXPLODES

idc what kind of Twitter posts they've made in an effort to ret-con it, the thing explodes. Unless they completely change it in the EC(unlikely), that's what it is......a massive explosion....


The ending blows.....nothing else to say about it lol

[BP20125810]

Gameplay mechanic. Just to make sure nobody chose destroy by accident.

[Tigerman123]

It doesn't matter where s/he's standing, s/he'll be incinerated regardless.

Basically it's to show him and Anderson as both courageous and defiant of the Reapers, they're not afraid of death. The mechanisms for triggering the endings are essentially supposed to more dramatic than the simple and more logical press a button that was in Deus ex HR, as well as killing Shepard off

[jstme]

It is a logical consequence of an idea that shooting a tube will kill all synthetic life in the universe ,including reapers.

That would be the perfect renegade move except for the fact that Control would be useless, as destroy would kill them  anyway.

Make everything partly synthetic, and then destroy all synthetics. Shooting at the tube, and diving into the beam as it explodes wiping out the universe in a brown explosion.

[BlackoutOmega]

 Well you see, bad writing.

that would've been perfectly symbolic of the sh*tty ending
