Description I am not a fan of epilogues that essentially tells you that all you went through (game or book or movie, whatever) is being retold by someone. And it's frequently someone old telling the story to someone young, which tends to add another element of inappropriateness to the whole scenario. It often clashes horribly with the actual story - as it did in ME3.
All I could think when I got to that part was 'really? Is the stargazer telling his grandchild about *everything* Shepard ever did? Even the bit where she wandered into the men's bathroom for the eight time?' That's just bad story telling, grandpa :I

"After getting tips from Mordin about the dos and don'ts of sex with turians, Shepard absolutely went for it, trust me kid." Stargazer is never going to be allowed to babysit again.

The old man telling the story is neat as a framing device, but am I the only one that thought it was weird that dear old Gramps decided to tell a child about Shep's sexual conquests?

The Stargazer should have been an aging Commander Shepard talking to his/her grandchild.

Well, that would require Shepard to survive (AND that they chose to have children in the first place) and that would mean they'd have to change things up depending on the ending and... I am leaving this here before the bitterness makes itself reminded again XD

I could not agree more about the epilogue. I thought, "So all my hours of playing were just a story someone was telling? Oh hell no."

Yeah :I I *really* don't like those kind of epilogues. They tend to, well, obviously make me wonder why that story teller told all those unnecessary details (and then our hero looted the corpse, but found only a pair of torn pants. Disgruntled, they brought them to a seller and got a copper coin for their efforts, etc)

He seems to skip out on the sex though seeing how the sex scenes got tamer after ME1, I'd say he got scolded for going into too much detail XD

Though he goes through great lengths to describe lilith being melted down into collector goo and shepard being a dick to his squadmates. Maybe that's also why Renegade and Paragon got more extreme.

You know, I'd be concerned from the very beginning that he had to mention (and keep bringing it up too) the whole 'krogans have four testicles' bit.

That`s why I have my own ending which doesn`t involve glowing children, space magic, RGB-choices and stupid epilogues >.<

"Hey, grandson, Shepard was great - she headbutted krogans, threw down mercs off the tower, had sex with different aliens and refused to recall from green, blue and red - because her favourite color was purple - but that doesn`t matter, she still remains our galactic hero..."

Ddriana In reply to Eonixa [2012-12-18 20:51:13 +0000 UTC]

I wanted to renegade the ending all over, not even bothering to land on Earth and just blow up the mass relay and eliminate that massive horde of reapers who so conveniently gathered in the system. Too bad about Earth and all, but it would give the rest of the galaxy a fighting chance. So... *presses renegade interrupt furiously*
