Yes, its was said before and I will say it again - there is something wrong with your game if it could be improved simply by chopping parts off.

 When I uploaded the WIP version I was expecting to be bashed but the overwhelmingly positive response convinced me that the thi video is mostly complete so this version contains primarily more polish and minor changes and additions

FemShep version


ManShep version

Wow, this is really impressive and far more of an epic ending than what we got.

Well done!

I cry because of it. I embrace it. I love it. Just so simple ... but so beautiful at the same time. Too hard for you, BW, huh? ... It's a shame that storytellers like you couldn't come up with this ... Or didn't want to because of ... Whatever.

LOL the last part of this fan-made ending was SO CHEESY!  It actually made me laugh out loud. Pure comedy gold cheese right there.

No, I really don't like this cliché and cheesy ending. The current endings are less cheesy and less stupid than this. No offense to the guy who made it.

This makes me sad that this wasn't one of the endings in the first place. I find it perfectly acceptable and fitting. Could use a touch sprucing up.

But I could see my Shepards face on it.

Better than the current ending, IMO. The ONLY thing that could have made that deus ex machina, Star Child, portion of the ending legit was if it was all a hallucination (i.e. the IT).

 I liked it  And somehow it integrates well with the (somewhat ambigious) statement 'Mass Effect 3 is the end of Commander Shepard's story'.  With an ending like this I just can imagine Shepard on his or her way to receive a long overdue promotion ...

Perfect example - saving the collector base in ME2 gives you the Control ending, destroying gives you Destroy as the OP depicted.

Mn, it shouldn't be anything that isn't under your control in Mass Effect 3 itself. I think something more like three points of choice would work; Keep/Destroy the Collector Base in the end of ME2, Keep/Destroy data about the Reaper signal collected by Henry Lawson on Horizon, and "choose to broadcast killswitch or control program" in the endgame. The third choice is where you make the in-character decision, the point at which Shepard says "we're going to control the Reapers" instead of "we're going to destroy the Reapers," but the player only gets the choice if they were inconsistent between Horizon and the Collector Base, otherwise the game just goes with Shepard's established philosophical position.

For the sake of cinematic gameplay the third decision could be made in dialog prior to the beam run; Anderson asks "everything ready" and Shepard either offers you the choice of "yes I've got the Control program ready" or "yes I've got the Destroy program ready", or autodialogs based on previous choices.

Oh and OP, that shit is awesome. I may have teared up a little when the ME1 music started. Just a little.

You know what? The ending to Romeo and Juliet is a real bummer, maybe we can get them to change that so that they both live in the end. And while we are at it, why not change Braveheart so that William Wallace lives at the end, and change Gladiator so that Maximus kills Commodus and then brings his dead wife and son back from the dead so that they can live happily ever after?

[Ingvarr Stormbird]

On small nitpicking note, you should've turned subtitles off.
Otherwise you sometimes can see that subtitles do not match narrator (or appear when there is no narration at all).

Mass Effect is not "Romeo and Juliet", neither "Braveheart" nor "Gladiator". It's not a tragedy or tragic hero drama. Attempts to suddenly turn it in this direction in the third part looked extremely artificial and forced.

Well, if it had been a tragedy, or tragic hero drama in ME1, or ME2, there would be no subsequent games.  Shepard had to make it to ME3.  The everybody lives ending just doesn't fit for me, and it never has.  In ME1 you had to choose to leave one of your squad mates to die.  You had to choose between sacrificing the council or sacrificing part of the Alliance fleet.  I feel like Bioware made a mistake in ME2 by making it possible to save everyone in the suicide mission.  There were decisions that I made throughout the game that got people killed.  But I didn't go back and reload so that I could save them.  For me the happy ending is Shepard making the ultimate sacrifice to save the galaxy.  The cliché Disney happy ending, for me, looks and feels extremely artificial and forced.

They tried to be epic, not realising they already were, and only succeded is being trite and tacky.

I don't see a problem with them still making "full win" ending *possible* (along with other possibilities with diff. degree of sacrifices in them).

This way you still could've had "realistic" ending you wish for. But it sounds more like you can't quite enjoy it knowing that some people got the "Disney" ending and they like it. I see no other explanation why possibility to save everyone in suicide mission bothers you - you just said you've got ending you've liked, so what's the problem?

Here is the problem with making the Disney ending an option, it makes it the default choice.  It basically validates or invalidates every single decision made in the entire series.  If you don't get the Disney ending, you made the "wrong" choices.

Don't get me wrong, I understand where you are coming from.  Over the course of three games it is easy to become attached to Commander Shepard, and it is very difficult to say goodbye to a character that you have become so attached to.  In the Disney ending, you don't have to.  Before the release of ME3, I was having a conversation with my brother, and I said, "if Shepard doesn't die in ME3, I am going to be pissed."  Yet, as I neared the end of the game, a small part of me was hoping that there was some way that I could save Shepard because I wasn't quite ready to say goodbye.

"Disney" ending less cliche than Bible ending?

So, how do you like Synthesis? 

I don't see this fan ending as being "Disney" at all.  More like "Life goes on"  Except in this case with SHepard, EDI, and the geth.  Sacrifices were still made to get there.

[Paula3337]

Wonderful, thank you!

I am not a fan of synthesis, but that is mostly because you are forcing something on the rest of the galaxy against their will.  To me the only ending that is worse than sythesis is refusal.

The main problem I have with the fan video in this thread is that it makes it so that you can choose destroy without sacrificing EDI or the Geth, and that to me, is a cop out.  I don't have a problem with Shepard living in the destroy ending per se, but it has to come at some cost.  Sacrificing EDI and the Geth is a good start, but I would think that there would have to be some kind of physical toll on Shepard as well.

except that miranda died in that ending its perfect ;D
