9/5/2023 0 Comments Mass effect 3 endings ashley![]() ![]() I can't over look the fact that after spending all this time playing a game that has been about choice and doing the impossible that now I'm just going to take the Catalyst's word for it that these are my only 3 options to stop the Reapers, this game is a lot like the Shadow War in Babylon 5 and I want the “we don't need you anymore get the hell out of our galaxy” option.Īnd god damn it I want some kind of closure to a franchise I've spent hundred's of hours playing, none of this figure it out for yourself crap. The story is so good and so engaging I can even overlook the parts of 3 that were recycled from the first one. Hell if you go darkside you have to kill some of your crew, while lightside it was possible to save everyone. In KOTOR once you make the decision weather or not to reclaim your role as Darth Revan it's 2 entirely different games, different dialog and cutscenes from then on. But I've seen what kind of writing Bioware is capable of and this ending just feels lazy. I don't care that Shepard dies, I've expected it to end that way ever since they said 3 would be the end of Shepard's story. ![]() I don't care about a happy ending, in fact I would be happy if one of the endings is you fail everyone dies and the cycle continues, although having one of the endings be happy would be nice. Reply Deleteįirst I want to say I'm probably going to come off as an ass hole, but I'm so angry over this I don't care. I think in retrospect the Mass Effect series will be seen as the first game that uplifted the medium to a digital work of literature. Some of the best stories in history enraged their audiences when first published. To me, less explanation is also more, like with mass effect it totally works! I just really hope they don't change the ending, a lot of great stories have vague endings and sometimes it makes them all the better for it. Sure you had your own ending in mind, but do people really want it to end on a bland happy go lucky note? Bioware wants us to think about this ending and what it meant, they said so themselves, and they achieved it. And it left stuff to the immagination, which is something a lot of writers tend to forget. It is short, powerfull, wraps up the entire ME universe in one choice. >_> By literary standards it is so far ahead compared to other games. I really don't get the hatred for the ending. This is what makes the ending so good, this is what lets us the players think about: What will happen now? What will come of humanity this way? It is as if people expect the choice to have major influence on how the end video looks but don't even think for one second what theoretically the different endings mean for us as a species. The real choice here is the way in which you as a player chooses to advance humanity, and all three options have vastly different consequences. Yes the mass effect universe is at an end in all three endings, but that is not the choice we were asked to make. ![]() One of the endings even ends with shepard not dying. There are three ways in which you can determine the fate of humanity and for all of them it is clear what they represent. And anderson represents paragon that needs chaos to accomplish its plans. The illusive man is the metaphor that stand for renegade that needs order to accomplish its plans. By now he is the metaphor that stands for humanity making its choice regarding its own future. By making it so that we do not know whether shepard is alive, dead or harvested by the reapers, it lets us as players accept that Shepard is no longer Shepard. Story wise Bioware needed for it to be a bit vague after the reaper hit. It blurs the lines of, order and chaos, black and white, to convey its message of needed balance. ![]() For me a good ending is one that makes you think and ask yourself: What did I see just now? This ending represents the essence of what the Mass Effect series is about in one last major choice. Story wise a good ending isn't one that makes sense in every way and wraps up with everybody walking away happy. ![]()
