Potential Endings for Mass Effect 3

[Jake the Snake]

I'm all for the whole Shepard becoming a Reaper agent and killing everybody! BAD ASS NESS FTW! MAUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! ... yeah or everyone dies that works two. There will be large explosions, wiping the universe's slate clean. It's the perfect ending.

Oh and I expect tits in this game. Just something to give FOX news the middle finger.

Sounds good, but you forgot how amazing it will be when the Rachni turn up like the cavalry to back Shepard up and they will 'sing', the many colours of battle and it will make us cry.....


Just me then, for that? ;-)

I forgot about the Rachni. Good for you remembering sir

But yes, I have a distinct feeling that at least one of the above will be saving Shepard's ass at some point in some epic fashion.

Hopefully! Small point..... nothing minor ;-) I'm not a 'sir'! S'why my Shepard is a femshep...

Oh....um. Please pardon my inadvertent sexism, I should have checked your profile. Sorry about that

On topic, it'll still be epic to unify the whole galaxy into one massive armada of kickassness.

I'm thinking depending on your choices in 1,2 and indeed 3, everyone you helped gets together for a big battle at the end and everyone you pissed off does not show up.

The more allies you have, you might win, the less you have, you won't win. Like your team being loyal for the ME2 ending.

I think the scene in ME2 where the Rachni Queen (if you helped her) offers you help in the end, is a clue to how the ending will play out.

With all your allies arriving, I'm thinking there will be the Alliance and Citadel fleets.. (Asari, turians and salarians and what not), the Quarians and the Geth, and then the Rachni will ball up and working together they will take on the Reaper's in one big battle. In a wonderful cinematic no doubt, while Shep runs around like a headless chicken no doubt looking for some kinda magic off button to kill all the Reapers.

Edit: I also think EDI will be a major factor. Perhaps she will go all kick ass and take over the Reaper fleet and either control them or blow them up. EDI FTW. ^_^ (I love EDI!)

"Gondor Calls for Aid" scenario and a giant "Last stand Of The Ages" against the Reapers with Rachni and/or "Good Geth" showing up at the last minute to save everybody's bacon.

Shepard's Fashion War falls through in the face of Quarian Sex Robot technology. Literally fucked to death.

 

[ShoryukenDude]

I want to see at least two endings:

The Paragon/Do Everything right ending: Now you'll have to excuse this, as it might seem like a sadder type of ending, but I believe Shepard should go down in a blaze of fury, taking out the last Reaper by himself as the rest of the galaxy watches as the their true hero sacrifices himself for the safety of the universe. I think that it would feel like a great accomplishment, even if your character has kicked the bucket.

The Supreme Defeat ending: This is for people who's Shepard died at the end of ME2. Joker and what is left of the Normandy's crew lead a last ditch charge at the coming Reapers, only to be utterly destroyed by the superior firepower. The cycle starts anew......

Lol, dude, no worries I get that we are in the minority on here, I'm not that worried, I tend to assume that my name implies female it being a female FF baddie. Clearly not.... ;-)
I expect BioWare to blow us away with the end, cos if they don't.... *mutters darkly*

 

[Lizardon]

Alot of the scenarios being suggested are all cliches and have been done before. I don't think a lot of you are giving Bioware much credit for there amazing stories. I'm hoping for a massive original plot twist towards the end that blows my mind.

Please bear in mind, alot of these are overly simplistic. We're just going off what hints the first two games have dropped for us. I am entirely open and looking forward to Bioware completely knocking our socks off with an original storyline, particularly given how little they've really let us know about the Reapers. They've got lots of room to play with in making the game.

As long as they do don't pull out some contrived "instawin" button for use against the Reapers and Shepard gets to have an awesome final battle against Harbinger, I'll be pretty pleased. The rest I'll leave to Bioware. As you say, they're the professional storywriters

I'm calling that the universe implodes, end of game.

 

[R4ptur3]

Earth remembers that they have all these nuclear bombs that they never used and just send them all at the reapers. Reapers blow up. the end. seriously, i may be wrong, but i can't remember seeing a nuclear explosion from a bomb in that game. Or you could always send in the Hannar. teach the reapers a thing or two about manners.... yeah.

To be honest i want something i don't expect.

 

[Metalix Knightmare]

To be quite frank R4ptur3, the reason you don't see nukes in large scale action in this game is because they are very unnecessary. The modern weapons on ships in the setting carry as much impact as a nuke, with far less problems in the aftermath.

Also, I can tell you've probably never finished the first game, cause I can think of two places that DID use nukes, and one of which went off.

D'oh, i remember now. I did finish it, about three weeks ago, can't believe i forgot already. Feel free to place a palm on your face at any time.

Join with the reapers and become emperor shepard.

 

[Metalix Knightmare]

Nah. It happens. I'll even apologize if my response seemed rude.

Anyway, my idea for an ending? Don't really have one, but at some point Shep had better be able to call out the council on a level most epic. I'd appreciate a song and dance number with the rest of the squad. Perhaps singing either of these songs by Reel Big Fish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvEdQrONP9I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9mDSTzvZ_U&feature=related

 

[Paragon Fury]

Mordin (with a Salarian Ship), Garrus (with a Turian Ship), Liara/Samara (with an Asari Ship), Legion (with a Geth Ship), Wrex/Grunt (with a Krogan Ship) and Shepard (with the Normandy) will combine to form Voltron, Defender of the Universe.

You know it'd be awesome.
