Description
EVEN MORE EDIT 2021 WHAT: Turns out the original video is gone and I don't know why, but someone managed to find it here! disk.yandex.ru/i/JzEzvsIPCnmX8…MORE EDIT: So this was done before the Extended Cut came out, so at least the issue with the flashbacks was resolved. Handsome Garrus is finally in my Shepard's thoughts *sob*
Edit: Holy shitkabobs on a dinner table! I can't believe the support and love I've been recieving for this comic! I wasn't expecting it and it's had me on a big fluffy cloud for a couple of days now! Thank you all so much!
And to top it all, nicholasfunstuff went ahead and made a video of it with the music and sound effects!! Go watch it here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tJ1LY…
HEY HEY! LISTEN TO THIS WHILE READING! Recommend having tissues around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5JvbD…

I have spent too much time on this...
This was a result of a need to get the Mass Effect ending from my system. Funny thing is it took so long to make, I was pretty much over it half-way through XD Even funnier is I just cried a little right now
One of the jillion things that bothered me about this ending was that the characters most dear to me didn't even seem to be on Lara Shepard's mind. As explosions were going off, images of Joker, Anderson and... Liara? seem to flash before her eyes. I was kind of outraged. I absolutely love Joker and Anderson, but... Liara? She's great and all, but... No chance of Garrus's face to pop in her mind instead? They ARE in a relationship after all! HE VENTURED INTO THE IDEA OF HAVING KIDS, FOR F**K'S SAKE!
It's funny that everything else about that ending would pretty much make sense if we have in mind the popular Indoctrination Theory (which I'm all on board with), but this... this, haha, really bothered me
Somehow it's like Liara's friendship is forced down my throat a lot of times. No ofense to Liara fans, she's actually a great character, just not one I'm specially fond of. And I really just wanted to see Tali, and Garrus... and Mordin... and Legion and Wrex... one last time... *tear flood* So all this just added to the feeling that the ending was rushed and put together as quickly as possible.Hence this.
A huge thank you to for her enthusiasm and beta reading!

For Tali's pattern I used something I found on the Bioware forums. If anyone knows who made it, I'll add the link.

The whole comic is great. My favorite panel is top right with Tali and Garrus, it's just powerful. Especially remembering that they were the two that stood by Shepard throughout everything. Great job, you definitely got a bucket of tears out of me.

Oh god, that's just... the most moving ME thing I saw lately. Just cried smiling.

I am touched! This is so sentimental
This is fantastic! I love how the two people that were with Shepard for the longest are the ones helping him in the right direction

I got very sentimental, yes XD
And that is correct, Garrus and Tali are closest to me, but many other come in VERY closely.
Thank you^^

totally agree though I wish my Fem-Shepard would survive and later re-unate with her whole crew she ahd back in Mass Effect 3 and follow Garrus's idea: ''Live of they royalties from the vids...'' Like the perfect ending, I hate tragic endings :c

I knuu. I wouldn't have minded a sad ending that much. What bothered me about this one was.... well a hundred other different things
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, but how awesome wouldn't it be to have, instead of the stargazer and kid scene that even doesn't make sense, a small cutscene where you and your shepard are united with their romance and crew if you're lucky enough. c: Since I'm a sensitive person as I wrote before, I hate sad endings. How come you don't mind sad endings? What's your opinion? :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*sigh* I swear, if bioware doesn't give us that, I will make it
There's more than one kind of sad for me. There's beautiful sad and then there's deppressing sad. The first shows how "bad" things can be taken well and teach us stuff. The movie Up. Pan's Labyrinth. The latter... that's ME3's ending.
Luckily I believe in the Indoctrination Theory.

Really like this. I would've liked to see a more fleshed out flashback. Garrus and Tali being with Shep since the beginning, Mordin leaving for the elevator, Legion on the cliffside, etc. But I guess it'd be a pretty drawn out flashback if I was in charge.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a lot of flashback to draw XD But thanks!

Nah you had a better idea in the way you did it. I was just thinking out loud how I would've changed the last scenes in-game. The Normandy wouldn't crash for starters..

I really hope it's indoctrination. It would explain it all

Ugh this panel, this one almost made me cry. After finishing the game I couldn't decide which ending I wanted, but this comic helped me decide finally on destroy. Reasons being the same as in the comic. So great job on this, it's one of my favourite me3 fan arts to date.

I was SO CONFUSED I went to ask a friend and she explained all about Indoc Theory XD So destroy it is.
And wow, thanks so much!

Cachis, con esta página si que me vas a sacar las lágrimitas... La última viñeta creo que es la más impactante: a pesar de sólo haber conseguido llegar sóla, Shepard no carece del apoyo de sus compañeros. Me recuerda una de las frases que puedes decir a Javik. No me extiendo porque ahora no recuerdo si tienes el DLC
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Siii! Siente como hierben las lágrimas dentro de ti!
Oooh, tengo muchas ganas de tener ese DLC. Por qué eres tan caro, Mass Effect?? *sobsob*
Toda la serie consiste en como Shepard no es nadie sin sus aliados y amigos. Lo mínimo que podían hacer era dejar claro que le importaban sus compañeros!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Están en punto de ebullición!
Buena pregunta... No lo han bajado??
Bueno, lo dejan superclaro: los envían al planeta Achilipú y allí se quedan muertos de la risa porque lo hay tecnología... Cada vez tengo más ganas de reclamar un final happy hollywoodiense... grr...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pos no sé si lo habrán bajado O_O Creo que la última vez estaba a 8 euros o algo.
Pfff después de dejar plantada a Shepard! Nada tiene sentido. A menos que Bioware esté tramando algo, no entiendo como se sorprenden de la reacción de los fans... Y la opción de al menos un final holliwoodiense aunque sea MUY dificil de conseguir en el juego estaría MUY BIEN.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pues a ver si baja...
Estoy de acuerdo con cada palabra, cada coma... soooo sad!!!! Mira, al principio no quería un final ultrafeliz, con unicornios y arcoiris, pero a estas alturas, me dan ganas de reclamarlo con uñas y dientes. Me siento tan timada...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pfff. Al final me he comprado el Fromages. Tenía que conocer a Javik...
Ya! Se entiende que un final disney pueda estar fuera de lugar, pero... bueno, al fin y al cabo ya ha muerto media galaxia... Feliz feliz no iba a ser. Qué menos que poder estar con tu novio turiano... Es que... que nos hicieran prometerle a Garrus que volveríamos a verlo... OH NO, LAS LÁGRIMAS!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ole! Y que te parece Prothy the Prothean?
Pues mira, yo a estas alturas, ya reclamo un final Disney, con arcoiris y unicornios que le den por el c... al Starchild de las narices. No, en serio, el final del primer juego era Disney y Hollywood-iense... alguien se quejo? Yo quiero esa casa en un lugar calido y tropical!!! Y el bar, puede esperar...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Prothy es tan mono y tan achuchable... Igual que él XD
Pues hija... si. Si. Por favor, sí. Qué menos! Escena en la playa con Garrus!!!! y Tali!!! y toda la panda! Vacaciones en virmire!

even though I went for the blue ending, I couldnt bring myself to destroy the geth and EDI, the point is the same ... I REALLY REALLY REALLY needed my crew next to me...after weeks of dealing with the end unsuccessfully I am a step closer to final closure, my tears are still flowing, thank you for including Tali in such a big way, and thank you for the wonderful gift of this short yet emotionally packed interpretation of the ending...once and for all
