i think it means that your LI has heard from Alliance Navy that Shep is ok. he would be in surgery somewhere and they were all waiting together as a group to hear the news. your LI would probably not want to be alone waiting to hear if Shep survived or not. if he was dead they were all gonna be there and put his name up. if they got good news, which they did, then we see what we see.

If they were in contact with Alliance Navy why couldn't Alliance Navy pick them up?

what planet did they get pushed to?  dont know.  may have been very far away.  would have to have been pushed very far away for my idea to work. 

was there a relay available for the Navy to get there quickly?  relays destroyed so we have an answer to that. 

so, if in contact with the Navy, then the news would have gotten there quicker than a ship.

They didn't jump through a relay.

i never said anyone jumped through a relay so im not sure what your are trying to say here.

I was agreeing with you. They didn't jump through a relay.

And didn't you say player imagination was irrelevant to ME3 and the forums Reap II?

no, i said Bioware says player imagination is irrelevant, when it comes to IT.  thats a different thread and referring to it here puts this thread at risk.  i would ask that you refrain. 

this has nothing to do with IT, and you weren't just talking about IT. 



Slappy, true, true.

This forum... seriously. I don't even have words anymore.

"How does the crew know?"
We don't know, and why does it matter? Maybe they can just 'feel' it. That wouldn't be any more strange than so many other things throughout the entire trilogy. So much weird stuff has happened, even weirder than this, so why is this an issue?

The scene is pretty much there for the player's sake. We see the Normandy crew who decided to not not put up Shepard's plate, and after that, we see Shepard wake up in some rubble. Is it really that hard to put these two things together?!

Not really, no. I just find it weird how people ask for "interpretations" on something that seems pretty obvious.

to some, if not most people, very little was obvious about the ending content.

 I interpreted it to mean that they didn't know for certain but they just had a ~*feeling*~ that Shepard wasn't dead.  They weren't ready to give up on hope on her, anyway, so they weren't going to put up that memorial plaque just yet.

^ This

[iamthedave3]

It's the action movie thing. "The last time I saw the king, he was surrounded by 50,000 Turks armed only with a fruit knife." *King bursts in* "I am only here thanks to my trusty fruit knife!"

They won't give up on Shephard until they find his/her body, or find him/her sitting on a pile of reaper corpses downing a cold one. Simples.

[Applepie_Svk]

I still think that timelines in the EC were switched...

[adayaday]

My interpretation for the plaque:Shepards first name is commander.
Seriously though,there is a reason the loved one is the one who is "feel" that shepard is alive,its cheesy but it works.

Canon.

[wright1978]

My interpreation is that Bioware was too cheap to provide the proper Clarification/closure for live Sheps, unlike the reams of it for dead Shep.

As for my headcanon. Normandy is out of Communication with fleet and don't know Shep has been rescued. They decide to hold memorial service but at last minute come to their senses and realise the whole idea is stupid and that they should focus on getting home and finding out sheps fate.

[Soul Tumor]

Right before putting Shepard's plaque on the wall "oh crap we forgot to check to see if he's alive!" fly off to citadel.

[Village_Idiot]

Presumably, the crew assumed both Anderson and Shepard are dead since they were both on the Citadel when it went boom.

So from a literal perspective no, the plaque scene makes no sense. But then, it's pretty obvious that it's intended to represent your LI/teammate knowing in their heart that Shepard isn't dead. Cheesy? Perhaps.

[Wulfram]

My interpretation is that I shouldn't think too much about it

I feel so inspired and fulfilled that my squad, my friends and comrades, are so completely willing to just give up on me, to hold my memorial before even knowing I'm dead.

We should all be so lucky.

That's what the scene seems to say. Either Shep's friends are very quick to give up on him, or the scene takes place quite some time after the activation of the Crucible without anyone having heard from Shepard, in which case I don't see how he could realistically survive in the state he was in.

Everything is just not very well thought out...

[crimzontearz]

sadly they did not expand the breath scene in order not to widen the gap already existing between the endings

they are trying to tell you he is alive (as the project lead confirmed prior to the EC)

[Jadebaby]

This scene in and of itself pretty much sums up a lot of what's wrong with Mass Effect 3. Due to the backlash they stopped trying to do things because it makes sense in the story, and started doing it for exposition instead.

Eg: This scene and the Leviathan dlc.

I mean Shepard finds out so much crap in that dlc. Then everything just goes back to normal like it never happened...

That must have been hell in roll call when they first joined the Alliance.
