I don't know if my game glitched... but am I the only person who did the Destroy Ending and the Geth lived? I don't recall my EMS, It was in the 6K I think, and I was playing on Insanity. I just beat the game a week ago and never watched/read any of the endings before I played (didn't want to spoil it), so I most definitely saw that slide of the Geth and Quarians helping each other (or else I never would have even known about it). I talked with some people about it and they say my ending had to glitch… just throwing this out there.
Anyway I see people arguing back and forth about not being able to get back to Shepard or any planets on time. I just want to say that I do agree with this logic within the game's lore, however... How did Wrex make it back to the Krogan DMZ in time to hold his infant child? Either that’s a loophole or FTL travel is faster than we thought/the relays were fixed quicker than most believe. I guess that Krogan’s could take a much longer time to give birth. I just found that intriguing. From what I understand FTL travel should be roughly 15 light years per 24 hours of course that is just the Wiki talking. I would like to note unless my math is really wrong it would only take 18 and a half Earth years to travel the diameter of the Milky Way, yes a long time but (if Shepard lived) definitely able to have a reunion with his crew. There is the food/fuel problem however if they can travel that far it shouldn’t be hard for an educated (and the Normandy crew are) crew to find fuels or food on the trip.
EDIT - I forgot how long Krogans live, that newborn could be very old by human stanards, d'oh!
Something else that bothers me is everyone saying oh just headcanon your Shepard. Well that would be fine except for a few things. If that was the case the game should have ended with Shepard and Anderson looking at Earth, which would have been a much better ending to headcanon from. I personally wish the game would have ended here, forget the “promised multiple different endings”, because they are all basically the same anyway. Another problem is I would like to headcanon Shepard living, however I just don’t see it, not at all. He is in vacuum space right? Not to mention the fact he is being crushed under rubble and bleeding out fast. Don’t give me that “medigel is magical” bull either. We already know that applying medigel right away wasn’t enough to save that one guy’s leg and that still doesn’t explain being buried under rubble or being space without a suit.
This doesn’t have to do with the “Shepard Lives” ending, but I don’t understand the Starchild at all. I know broken record, beating a dead horse, but I don’t understand WHY he is seeing that child anyway, are the Reaper’s telepathic? Also; paragon, renegade, paragade, EMS score; none of it really matter in the end and that peeves me. I spent well over 200 dollars and well over 200 hours on this trilogy, if I would have known I could have just busted through all the game not caring and got the same ending… just a little upsetting to me.
Anyway I’m not trying to be pessimistic and I’d love for someone to prove me wrong on some of my points, I know a lot less about the ME universe than most people here. I’m just explaining what I took away from it (not having researched anything or knowing the endings ahead of time, just playing the game and seeing what happened).
