All what I wanted is coherent narrative that´s all, endings could be depressive as the most depressive book ever made but all what I asked for was narrative. While I felt that both DE or the IT would fit much more to lore, whole ending fiasco could be even avoided if BioWare have´t decide to cut the lore into pieces and sell it later. I am offended by BioWare and EA thinking that most if not all of their customers are either mindless or in hard denial that they would screw so much... and most what I don´t like about fans in general that they they are able to deffend BioWare after what they have done, it´s not just about ending it´s about whole game - lies and deception, cutting the edges for DLCs, sloppy work, bugs, retcons, narrative in trash bin, milking the franchise with crappy writing like Paragon Lost...

I would be happy if BioWare rather admit that they screwed than what they did ...

 Simple questions, refer to title.

I feel this is a more worthwhile question than "are you happy with the ending now?"

Don't list all the things you wanted, only state the #1 thing you wanted (from your supposed list) and whether or not the ending (original or extended) delivered. And do try to elaborate a bit rather than just leaving behind terse responses.



Me: The way I see it, the aftermath of a war is more meaningful than its conclusion. Otherwise, what have you won? For that reason, I'd say what I wanted most was an epilogue. I fought for the ME-Galaxy, so I want to the galactic state-of-affairs in the wake of the war, to know that it was "worth it." To that end, the original ending clearly did not satisfy. Extended-cut, however, did do this well enough for me and it went a long way in improving my opinion of the ending.

Go!


The only thing I wanted from the ending is some kind of true galaxy acknowledgment for Shepard. S/he was unwilling hero from the very start and somehow hers/his fate is what real life keeps constantly sending as a message - never ever be a hero or an anti hero 'cause you'll get the ****ty end of the bargain... I guess that's why I made that homage video for Shepard... at the end I really felt sorry for her/him, no bitter sweet BS, just truly sorry.

Victory against the Reapers.

Yes, with one of the 4 endings, at least.

 An huge scene about what happened after the war, I assumed beating the reapers was obvious, so I was expecting something amazing at the end.
So that's a no.

A cohesive and logical ending where the conclusion is directly from -my- choices.

I did not get this, I got the antithesis of this.

To feel victorious ... even if that meant sacrificing Shepard and/or some of the squad.

BioWare just didn't come up with an ending scenario that allowed me to feel like I truly won.


^^ This!!!

An ending where I felt like I actually had a victory. Some kind of battle instead of a long cut scene where I was making conversation choices. How in the heck is that considered an ending in a game where you have battle missions?

There was no sense of victory or closure in the ending we have. ME1 and ME2 got it right. In ME1 you went to Ilos and fought then to the citadel and fought your way through to Saren and then beat Sovereign who possessed Saren's corpse. In ME2 you had the awesome suicide mission. Now that vicory was one where you really felt like you won.

ME3, you fight through london get sucked up by a beam of light to drag your sorry butt to anderson and Illusive idiot, best you get there is more conversation choices and to shoot the idiot. Then you get swept away by the magic glowing carpet to the magic glowing child where discussion ensues and you make a choice - for me, to shoot 4 times at the red box before it turns the galaxy into a red beam of destructive light and a bunch of cutscenes with a voice over. HOW is that a victory? Shooting a red box? Or walking to a beam of light? All that way to end like that? Are they kidding? Seriously?!? I felt like I was mugged. No actually battle at the end? WTH was that? In my mind, I still haven't fought the reapers.

Should have at least had Harbinger attack you before you choose the beam of light or shoot the red box. That would have been a great battle.

I wanted that 'victory against all odds' feeling that the Suicide run had....the feeling that if I had prepared right, and got my squad ready~I was going to kick some reapers right back to dark space! I figured my choices through the games would effect the outcome of the final mission, that the laast battle would probably be rousing and memorable.

Instead we got a colour coded travesty, and priority earth.

See the varied endings to dragon age origins and the closure for characters and apply that to mass effect 3. That's what i wanted and no i didn't get it. Also i wanted the multiple different endings we were supposed to get. Mainly my shepard standing victorious with his crew. Oh well, nothing is going to change that now

^ ^ This exactly!

I really wanted that battle. I had over 10k war assets from MP promotes and SP. Priority earth didn't even reflect any of that which it really should have. I'd have loved to see all those extra thousands of assets as fleets bearing down on the reapers blowing them to bits.

Funny thing to me is that if the quarians can destroy a reaper and the thrasher maw could destroy a reaper and the alliance in ME1 could destroy a reaper, with the whole galaxy backing you there should have been that in cut scenes. But my thousands of war assets ended up being irrelevant. Shepard is rolling over in his or her grave (because I don't even buy into the lame breath scene).

You sure you mean the italed bit? It's not like we don't know that it was worth it. Any ending where the Citadel races don't get exterminated is worth it.

This. Above all else, I wanted closure. I wanted a happy ending. Shepard on rubble/taking a breath isn't really closure. The Extended cut gave us a bit of this, but not enough. I mean, Mass Effect 1 had a nice little scene after the Battle of the Citadel, even if it was to make a choice on Earth's councilor. ME2 you could talk to all your squad mates to get their opinions on your decision. That felt nice.

This as well!  A Dragon Age:Origins type victory ending would have been awesome as well.Or a KOTOR 1 type thing.



I'd also like to note a very close 2nd was all the garbage with starchild.

Go!

My first, knee-jerk response was to say 'a sliding scale of success and failure in the outcome of the Reaper War', as this would have been something shaped directly by your personal journey, but your words about an epilogue make a lot of sense and echo in large part why I wanted the variable ending.

In the end, I think it is a combo of both. I wanted to see how my choices shaped the ending I got, and how they left the Galaxy afterwards.

P.S. What people are saying about a sense of victory/triumph is also a strong contender for me. I don't feel like the concluding sequence of the game was earned by the player in any way, but was rather handed down to us from the kid, and through him from the devs.

Except your choice gewt grounded down to nothing.

Oh, is Wreave leading things without Eve and we insinuated that this won't end well? Too bad, everything is fine.

Saved the rachni? Too bad, we don't mention them.

Renegade Shepard in control of the Reapers? Oh, don't worry, everything is going to be fine. Don't worry about the army of space squids.

Did we just completely change the galaxy with some bat crazy space magic? Don't worry about it, things are so hunky dory there's extra optimism on my shoe. You don't need details, just roll with it.

The sense that it had all been worth it.

And no, I most certainly did not get that.

Apart from that I was open for surprises.

I guess what I really mean is that I needed a better denuemont (sp?) than what we got -- none to speak of.

What was jarring about the original ending was that it seemingly closed the book shut right at the climax. WTF?

It just left me wanting. Know what I mean? Like, Shepard destroyed the Reapers and... who cares. This music doesn't fit the cinematics whatsoever and... who cares. The Normandy marooned on a mysterious planet and... who cares. Sunshine Brule is my cousin... who cares.
