Are you speaking about yourself now mil? tongue.gif shame on you.

Just joking, As for me I love Bioware, the earned me 100 quid when they revealed the the Illusive Man was working with the Reapers. Strange though I would have thought my friends had started to understand that I'm clearly psychic when it comes to things like this...on a related not I keep bragging about the fact that I've held true to my oppinion that Skyrim would be released in 2011 since 2006 no one believed me and kept laughing at me...guess who had the last laugh

Congradulations, Tellie. Now, what's the next jackpot at the lottery this month? wink.gif

I'm definitely looking forward to taking Cerberus apart in ME 3. My main Shepard was practically destined for it.

Glad they gave us the ending we deserved. Bioware cares for fans.

I disagree about the ending, it felt really shallow. None of the decisions you made factored in to the end of the game. They put all that focus on your decisions and then they ended up making zero difference in the final cutscene.

In fact all three endings were basically the exact same cutscene with slightly different colored laser beams. I don't think that counts as multiple endings. Not to mention that it leaves more questions than answers.

You haven't played the Extended Cut yet, have you, Kiln?With the extended cut it's actually one hell of a lot better; a great deal of questions are answered, a lot of the original plot holes are filled in and it generally makes a lot more sense. I really liked it, myself.

I'll have to try it but honestly, I doubt it'll make it up to me after all this time. I just know that the stock ending made me wish I hadn't bought the game, despite all the fun I had getting there.

EC at least answers my main question regarding the ending (mainly WTF was Joker doing in a relay jump in the middle of a huge fight) but a lot of the minor choices are apparently irrelevant it's still the same three choices though we now apparently have a refusal option, but that doesn't help that much either.

SO BE IT!!! Well, one of the defining science fiction entries of the early 21st century is over. It was fun while it lasted.

Wow, I've gotta say that I can now endorse buying Mass Effect 3. After playing through all of the multiple endings that now have much larger differences than the color of a laser beam, I can say that the ending is now about 10,000x better since the extended edition was released.

They tie up several of the questions that I had and made the ending feel much more complete than before. It wasn't as comprehensive as I'd hoped but it went a long way towards my need for closure in one of the best series of all time.

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed.

A place where woman never smiled or wept
There to abide with my Creator, God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept,
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie
The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

It was extremely bad with the original ending.

I quit playing after the crap ending. I was angry. I was livid. I could have gotten a college degree with the amount of hours I put into that game, and felt jipped. I could have bought other things with the money I spent on the game and the add-ons and DLC. I invested my time and money in it because I thought it would have an amazing and satisfying ending. Did I expect my Shepherd to go live with Thane on the Citadel and raise little adopted kids? No. But I at LEAST expected it to not have an ending like "And then everything exploded and the Krogan ate everyone. The end."

That being said, it is still one of my most favorite games. And once I get over being a big crybaby, I will play, from the beginning, until the very end with the new stuff at the end.

But I will never be buying anything else from Bioware ever again.

Synthesis and control have a decent closure, though synthesis just makes no sense at all.
But destroy? Especially the good destroy ending, you're left with a 3 second reward for all your hardwork, the mods over at the forum said that it meant that there was hope that Shep and their LI would meet again, but your talking about the last game with Shep, I don't want hope or a head canon, I want the downright yes or no. I would have been happy with a written epilogue!

They should have kept the original dark matter plot, less variables for future games.

Well someone pointed out that the explosion from the Mass Relays being destroyed would kill all life, period. So since all relays were destroyed(in the original ending, I don't know about the new one just yet) they would wipe out all life, no matter what. And even in the off chance that they didn't, if you saved the Krogans, they would most likely eat everyone. No one has any way to get home from Earth. Quarians and Turians would starve and die because of their diets/immune systems, whatever is left of the Asari MAY survive because Asari are awesome, but humans don't stand a chance against Krogans who eat a lot and live as long as Asari. Any ending I can think of is depressing.

The dark matter made more sense and gave a little insight as to why the Reapers were doing what they were doing. Instead they're like "Well you're too advanced so boo-hoo, you're dead."

You'd have to buy the first and second one to understand what's going on.

I just started playing this game, and I find the camera very annoying. Also, why does switching my weapon cause my character to leave cover?
