Well, the first actual ME3 ending mod (MEEM) is out. It is just a prototype, a proof of principle at the moment and it certainly wont hit the taste of everyone but it might just improve things for some people who were unhappy and it is working right in the game itself.

New Improeved version is up - have a look (download link is in the video description).
Youtube link (keep the annotations on, they show what's still to be improved and give some background info.)
Also, read the video description. A call for people who'd like to help out with voice work went out.
And check the rest of the channel for the rest of the videos (with epilogues and stuff).

There also is more background information and a script in the mod's rar archive.

So, does this new ending work for you? Is it better or worse than the original? Discuss!

Well Done.

I always thought dark energy would play a MAJOR part of ME3. And I always thought it would be a subtle occurrence.

[Khajiit Jzargo]

It's a sad day when fan-fiction is better than the actual ending.

[Arken]

Nice. Although it's still a work in progress, I liked what you've done so and hope you continue.

I liked how you made synthesis make more sense than it does now. Although I don't want to spoil the fix you made, because it was a nice surprise that made me smile.

I'm going to check out the epilogues now, and download this tomorrow.

bumping this because people need to see it

If Mass Effect 3 had ended this way then I'd actually be excited for the potential of a sequel that was about the dark energy threat. This ending is both open, satisfying, and would leave me speculating of how the Mass Effect universe would face a threat they were slowly creating.

Be warned though, right now it only works for male shep with high EMS.
It's really mainly a proof of concept at this point.

I have a feeling this is gonna end in a lockdown...

[arial]

the voice work is really well done

[Jadebaby]

This looks very interesting. From what is done, it looks WAY better then what Bioware did. I'll be watching this project very carefully.

[Baa Baa]

This is really cool/good. I'm actually down with this premise for an ending. You took **** and turned it into something that has a lot of potential.
Good voice work as well.
Sadly arial's predictions of this getting locked are probably going to be true.

[comrade gando]

I hope you see this bioware. your ending is so bad that fans are taking it in to their own hands any way they can.

[Jadebaby]

"if only Mordin could here this..."

Best part

[GreyLycanTrope]

Don't know if this will be locked but I know this exists, that in itself makes me happier. HAPPINESS THAT IS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.

You never know, a thread on the MP forums about putting faces to names was allowed, and even had the BioWare staff posting in it.

They really shouldn't lock this one down, it relates stronger to the topic than seeing people's faces behind their origin ID's or gamertags relates to MP.

Also, watched it, loved it. For some reason the sounds with voice over was delayed. But otherwise good job.

[snfonseka]

Keep up the good work.

Well, I hope BW and the moderators realize that, as the author states, this project is made out of love for their franchise, not to taunt or spite them and won't lock this.

As for the sound issues, there are annotations in the video that explain that the sound offset has to do with the way it was recorded from the game and are just a problem of the youtube vieos, not the mod. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

Glad people are finding ways to cope. I personally like the endings I have and can't really see eye to eye with people who'd need to go this far for a "GOOD" ending.

However, if it makes you people happy, all I.can say is I'm happy for your new found sense of peace.

Agreed. The choices are much less space-magic-ish, I like the explanation for them here much better than they are in the game.

In the original script, dark energy WAS a major part of ME3. Your end choices were to either sacrifice humanity to solve the dark energy problem (renegade), allow the galaxy to be harvested (neutral), or to make a deal with the Reapers to solve the DE problem (paragon). In the uber-paragon-high-EMS version, you solve the issue and send the Reapers to hell, and everyone lives happily ever after. Now, that last sentence wasn't ever confirmed in the script itself, but it was strongly hinted at.

The Rannoch arc was set in the original script, and it served as the story arc that tied off the organics vs. synthetics mini-theme very nicely. But then they decided to make that the entire thing, without making changes to Rannoch, which is why people felt like the "main conflict" was so out of place. It was wrapped up, as intended in the original script, in the final version of the game. But, they decided to re-write the main conflict.

I'm still not a fan of springing the "true purpose" of the Reapers at the last minute. Or at all. At least this makes a ton more sense than what we've got. While I'm more happy with the endings after the EC, that there's hope in the galaxy after ME3, I'm still not a fan of the premise as a whole. (I felt like Rannoch should have wrapped up the organics vs. synthetics thing, and I did feel like it was a mini-theme, not the main focus of the metaplot.) This does add a good layer to the story, though, and I really like the premise that the Catalyst is a Prothean AI/VI construct.

Though, since I play mainly on Xbox, I'm still going to dismiss the Catalyst as a flawed, renegade AI that doesn't know the first thing about what it means to live and be free. I'll blow him and his buddies up for their trouble. Lol.

Listening to the Prothean VI is like listening to Bane narrating an episode of Voyager or something. Tone down the VI effects and put up subtitles.

Also, long-winded scientific jibber jabber makes poor end game.

It's canon that he is rampant, he even says so in the EC. He turns against his creators, proving his hypocrisy.
