Description Just gonna name this same as the file name. That one time I decided to do a lineless painting and did pretty well. Still room for improvement.
SPOILER ALERT!
I really like the ending, and while some things did feel odd an unanswered, I thought it was good. You don't have to agree with me, to each it's own. I felt it was a good way to go. Traveling with no Mass Relays is possible just takes ages, I believe. The romantic in me hates that Shepard leaves their romance alone...AGAIN, but then I can always write my own ending and at this point I'm not too sure if I want to

SPOILER actually i played through mine and well my Shepard lived. I apparently had a high enough military strength and watched my Shepard wake up in some rubble. I still destroyed them. But yea, the ending did leave some stuff unanswered and it was awesome. Leaves you hanging and begging for more.

I envy people who seriously think these endings are 'good', 6 years of my life went down the toilet when those last ten minutes happened.

That being said, I really like this picture, very deep and meaningful.

I agree, not the ending I would have chosen, but it was a really emotional and great one nonetheless.
Yeh a lot was left unexplained, but perhaps they left that open, knowing that they couldn't possibly please everyone?
Like you say, we can create our own endings for our respective Shephards if we really want to
I went Synthesis on my Ashley-mance playthrough, gonna start my Liara-mance playthrough next No idea what ending to choose though.

I chose destroy, since for 3 games the goal was to do so. I'm not sure if that's canon or not but I'll try synthesis next.

I think half of my heart died when my Shep. went MIA. I mean, after that moment with Garrus I pretty much wanted to punch Bioware in the face after a mind-tantrum (I tend to get hysterically attached to my rpg characters and their romance). I'm eagerly waiting for a DLC to fix my sorrows, but until then I will go with the special ending and guess that she survived the rubble SOMEHOW, and adopted turian babies with Garrus. YOU CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND, I WON'T HAVE IT!

i really like the ending but at first i was disappointed with the ending cause of leaving my romance with Garrus but after thinking about it for a week i though it was a good way to go and i also figure that Garrus would do something super heroic and get his ass killed so i would see him soon enough ^_^ <3
i read that the Mass Effect trilogy isn't over yet but Commander Shepard story is, and a new hero will come. What are your thoughts?

blackwing2 [2012-03-17 14:28:18 +0000 UTC]

And thus, the story of Commander Shepard comes to a close...
Some of us may have lost our homes and we may have lost some good people along the way...
But in the end...
The story played out how we wanted it to, our choices, our endings...

There's a saying, you can tell a good story by one fact:
When it ends, you still want more.
So tell me.
Did you want more?

I really like this drawing of your FemShep. It has been a long time since I saw her as a drawing.

I liked the endings, and it made sense for Shepard to be alone at the end. The whole trilogy is basically Shepard's story, everyone else is secondary. Even Shepard's LI and Anderson are secondary in the game. What I do wish is some sort of epilogue, even if it was read by the Stargazer or the child at the end. As for the mass relays, well, removing them is like removing the airports from the US. Yes, it's going to take ages to go from cluster to cluster, but you will still get there. After all, in my analogy you can still go to another state by car or by train, but it would take at least a few days rather than a few hours.

LordOfMantas [2012-03-17 06:06:47 +0000 UTC]

I chose synthesis - it seemed to me that if I was going to die anyway, I might as well pick the option that would result in permanent piece - at least, if the Catalyst is to be believed.

TigerBun In reply to LordOfMantas [2012-03-17 10:11:09 +0000 UTC]

That's what I considered as well, but since the whole trilogy we were trying to destroy them, I initially did that if I replay, I will probably go for that instead.

Thing is, though, if these rumors about the whole "Shepard is indoctrinated" thing play out... It might turn out that everyone who picked Destroy was right after all. Imma just wait and see.

I think they dismissed the whole 'indoctrination' theory, and they said the ending is what it is

hearmemeep [2012-03-17 04:55:12 +0000 UTC]

I haven't reached the ending yet, though I have to an extent spoiled it for myself just because it was hard to ignore all the ravings against the ending that were being posted everywhere. I'd be done by now, but the hubby keeps taking over the 360 ;^^ It's sweet watching his Shep and Tali, though <3

If I understand the ending options well enough, I think I'm going to go for the synthesis ending. I just can't destroy the Geth and EDI. Not after how many tears I cried during the Geth part.... gah I <3 Legion ;.;

I think the concept of sacrificing my Shepard wouldn't bother me so much except for having to leave her love interest behind like that. This is why I should have romanced Thane instead of Garrus.... then my Shepard could go into it with a bit more closure :/ Instead, I'm just gonna feel guilty for Garrus somehow.... I hope his family at least survived the ordeal. I'm uncertain about that spoiler yet (if they even tell you by the end)

I saw a quote someone posted from a Bioware twitter the other day where they said in regards to the ME ending, that all they could say is that they had a lot of DLC planned and that people would want to hold onto their copy of ME3 for quite a number of years to come. I hope that's the case.... that they expand on the endings and at least leave us with a little more solid feeling to them. Either way, I didn't expect the happiest ending.... but closure is at least nice. Even Dragon Age 1 had it with big blocks of text that told you what happened :/

Though on a more silly note: [link]

TigerBun In reply to hearmemeep [2012-03-17 10:15:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, while I don't mind my Shepard dying in the end, as it seems good way to go, romantic in ME hates to leave the LI alone, especially since her LI is Kaidan. Some kind of epilogue, similar to DA: O would have been nifty, imo, explaining what happened to the rest of the crew.

I initially destroyed them, as it seemed like the whole purpose of the trilogy, but Synthesis seems to be the most logical and tempting ending to me, so I will probably go with that if I replay it. Like I said the only thing that bothers me about Shepard dying is the fact that her LI is all alone >:V At least she has to brothers who can go and repopulate the Shepard legacy

Music-feeds-my-soul [2012-03-17 04:40:52 +0000 UTC]

This is a good pic. The ending was amazing, in my opinion. And it is possible, to travel with out a Mass Relay, you do it when you travel in a cluster. It does suck you leave your love interest alone, but you could always use the 'armor breathing in London' canon ending, if you wanted something happy. But for people who have Shepard's with siblings, the siblings can survive with their love interests.
ME3 made me cry and smile, especially when Mordin died and when you get to hang out with Garrus on the Citadel. Mass Effect was the best series ever. I like to think that in the end, Earth was rebuilt and everyone who lived had a lovely life. I like to think the old man with his grand kid at the end is Joker or someone of the crew, because, who else would know so much?

Alanosborn [2012-03-17 04:22:44 +0000 UTC]

Destroy is the best option and Shep lives in it. Synthesis makes you play god and rewrite everyone's DNA and Shep dies. Control makes Shep die but leave Relays intact.

Destroy is best option!

wintersmith42 In reply to Alanosborn [2012-03-17 11:12:55 +0000 UTC]

Actually, Destroy kills shep too. The catalyst says he/she is too dpendent on their synthetic parts to survive it.

TigerBun In reply to wintersmith42 [2012-03-17 11:18:14 +0000 UTC]

Depending on your military stength, Shepard can survive ( you get 20 sec cut scene, of Shepard gasping in a rubble) and that's how the whole 'indoctrination' theory developed.

I kinda like the synthesis, personally But I dunno fi I'll go with it for a canon, as I have no idea yet. I liked the ending so far, but I think relays get destroyed in all 3 of the endings, no?

Lostoverlord [2012-03-17 03:41:59 +0000 UTC]

Chose Synthesis. Seemed the best way to save as many people(organic or not) as possible. And I wasn't about to give my Shepard a army of near immortal machines nor destroy the Geth or EDI.

I agree with you on your feeling toward the ending, I have said many times lately that i would applaud Bioware for trying something different to make there game memorable. Also a nice piece, I think if anything I might add a little more line work around Shepards edges and maybe make the detail on the outfit a little more distinct but otherwise, I like it.

TigerBun In reply to Crazon [2012-03-17 10:18:14 +0000 UTC]

what you mean like her skin? Looking back I should do that, but I tried to make her armor look all burned and destroyed which i think I failed at, but hey, I'll learn

I really liked the ending, I just feel completely empty about it :I So much time sunken into her and she's gone. At least I play MP with her baby brother, so at least there's another Shepard to fill the void

TigerBun In reply to Crazon [2012-03-17 16:11:00 +0000 UTC]

Onepiecelover [2012-03-17 02:44:04 +0000 UTC]

I pick Synthesis because I thought it was the best ending for my FemShep everyone lives with a new race of human/robo babies that EDI and Joker would have (MAN that would be so cool), thou thinking about how he/she could have AT LEST died in their romances arms saying sweet 'live for me and love again' would have been heart breaking and beautiful. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.
