I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. The world is aware that people don't like the endings, but the fact that you had to think of ALL this, go to this extreme just so you can be content with the ending... it's just sad.  The ending's are what they are, deal with it. I finished the game recently again, and even though I feel like there's someting missing, the ending's aren't horrific enough to warrent forcing yourself to imagine things and turning your TV off...

I personally think it's very clever. Let people do as they please. To be honest, I will be doing the exact same thing as OP. They gave us the tools and a blank slate, so anyone and everyone is welcome to approach the ending as they please.

OP, but will the Citadel pick up at the party invitation? I always thought it would drop you off at pre-Cronos, but that would "reset" the dlc and you'd have to replay it.
If what you say is true, that would be really great.

The "Probably the last one we'll ever have" followed by your LI telling you you'll find a way to beat the Reapers kind of ruins it.

I'm sorry, u mad?

While I like the party taking place before the reaper war, I have to admit, this is a pretty clever use of the reload system.

[Calibrations52]

Brilliant!

So, apperently there isn't a canon ending. Am I correct in assuming this? Probably. 

There's an implication within the Citadel DLC to actually "fix" the ending for those of us who don't like the current ones. Yes, through the power of analytical literature and about four beers (give or take) I have found a solution! Also, if this has been brought up before appologies. 

Ok, after the ending you are brought back to the moment in time right before Chronos Station. The SR2 is stationed near the Widow nebula so you don't actually see the objective in the Horsehead nebula indicating you need to plunder TIM's booty of Cerberus mooks. 

Here's is where you can implement your own ending fix, no mods, tears or sad nights alone with a Garrus shapped love pillow needed! 

-------


Play the Citadel DLC, BUT ONLY PLAY THE PART WHERE SHEP DEFEATS HIS EVIL SEXY TWIN/HANG WITH YOUR CREW, AFTER THAT PROCEED TO FINISH THE GAME. Right after the end sequence when the SR2 flies off into the horizon (Yes, please for the love of god have the EC for this one) turn off your TV for about fifteen minutes but leave your PC/console running. This will bypass the ****ing stupid scene with Buzz "ruining your game" Aldrin. 

Step two is to turn your monitor or TV back on and proceed to continue the game. ONLY THIS TIME IT'S AFTER THE ENDING AND NOT BEFORE CHRONOS STATION! Let me explain. 

This is where you go to the Citadel, never click on Alliance Docks or you will be sad and depressed again. Instead click on Silversun Strip. Proceed into your appartment and start sending out party invites. Proceed to have party. 

This DLC was literally made for after the ending. There is no crew conversations about the war save for Garrus refering to how Shepard's dancing can defeat the Reapers (but he's wasted and it's vauge.) Everything else is conversation pertaining to the party. 

The best thing is, the entire Ward strip seems to have no clue that the war is going on! You can literally just walk around and have your happy ending without hearing about the war! Sure there is a conversation between a Vorcha and a Human about deployments but they are conversing in the past tense, so that can be taken as two individuals who survived the war! 

You know what I did? I finished the game, had the party and saved during the aftermath where everyone has a hangover. Boom, that's my ending and it can be yours too! You can just stay in the Wards with your LI or team and have that happy ending. 

Just don't go back to the Normandy, because then you will hear that shoehorned line (BW seems to be all about the depression) along the lines of "Probably the last party we'll ever have." Nope, this is the first of many parties. 

Gotta love it how the writing is so poor in ME they screwed up their own beloved ending, in such a way that a DLC pack can be taken as an after the fact. 

Also, I think someone should make banners for this...Along the lines of "My Shep Had His/Her Party After The War." Oh god, that's pretty bad. I trust someone will refine that...

Sorry, maybe I miss something, but why so complicated? Just make a Save in your apartment, directly after your finished the Mission Part of the DLC. Then after the Destroy ending, skip the credits, return to the game, and load the save.

Edit: Typo

Yeah, you kind of don't do that scene...After the party you would just not go back to the Normandy.

You can play the DLC all the way up until Chronos station. The party included.

Or you know. A narrative that had the power to be flexible enough for you to have an afterthought has a lot of creative merit. 

Nah, people only play games for the pew pew.

[seths]

You could still do the final scene just imagine shepard is talking about the last party where every one is together

I like this idea, but when I do it I'm gonna do destroy then do the party so u don't feel guilty the I destroyed edi and it will be like she was rebuilt completely perfectly also there is a ton of war talk of the strip but its mostly multiplayer references so it reminds me more of that

[Atucker_a32]

But there's also the facts that I will always know the ending is what it is and I made my peace with it long ago, I will do the party after though, get my mood back up

[Kingthlayer]

I assumed this is how most people viewed it, especially on their first time through. I chose a Shepard who beat Mass Effect 3 a year ago, so this party was his final mission. That Shepard has no reason to beat Cerberus or the Reapers again, they're already defeated.

I don't know if I'll save the party til after the game next time, I'm content with Destroy after the EC, plus I heard something about how Jack romances has some lines about destroy.

All the way talk on the strip is presented in past tense. 

So I just take it as people remembering their battles ETC.

I'm glad you've stuck around the forums, Bob. I can't say I can trick myself into going along with this, but it sure is pretty great. It really doesn't seem like such a stretch, even.

I'm on and off. I tend to stay away from the heated threads, too much toxicity.

Are you like a ...sad person, or something?

Define, "sad."

Sad refering to lost potencial of a great space opera? Certainly.

Sad in terms of my life? Not really. I mean sure there's some ups and downs, but that's with anyone. Getting parking tickets sucks though, so I'm a little bummed in that aspect that's for true.

Well if you want to define them as sperate things...
You went through a lot of hoops to try and force your brain to reimagine how something you played a year ago ended.

I mean as long as you're not curled up in the fetal position mumbling "Its ends with a fun party. Javik wears a party hat and everyone gets ice cream.... it does it does... why won't people believe me..."

I guess as someone who lives and breaths literature everyday, I get attached to certain narratives more than others. It doesn't mean that it's my entire life though, more or less a passing thought or a hobby. 

Just because someone is passionate about something, never assume it's to an un-healthy degree. 

[dreamgazer]

Besides, the fetal position is comfortable.

Wait, what?
