The Mass Effect mod that adds an ending that isn't bad

[VeryOddGamer]

Well, it has no Starchild, so it's automatically far superior.
Otherwise, it's kind of poorly edited, but hey, no Starchild.

I want this guy's babies. I want them now.

If I see one more thread about this, I swear I'll learn to code JUST so I can take Mass Effect 3 and give it Indigo Prophecy's ending.

Which probably means you're getting Indigo Prophecy's ending.

Don't do that. Please don't, for the sake of those who have not yet seen the ending of that game. They don't want that sort of pain. D:

I swear I'll do it too. The Reapers? The reapers are really part of the purple clan.

Oh God. Memories flooding back. I think I am going to hurl... *runs to toilet* So bad, so very, very bad... Didn't think any game could out do KOTOR II in awful ending-ness. How wrong I was. D:

Ok, now I have to go and find this ending on youtube just to see what all the fuss is about. Seem as I'll have no context for the rest of IP's story, it probably won't seem that bad to me.

If you really want to see how bad the ending is, you have to play the full game, so you can comprehend just how bad it really is and the true heights of glory from which the game fell. That is what really makes the ending so bad, really; I mean, just by itself, it is pretty bad, but when put in the context of the rest of the game, it just becomes so much worse because much of the rest of the game was so good. It is like starting a game at Half Life 2 levels of good and ending at Superman64 levels of suckage. D:

I'm holding out for an ending where Shepard wins by giving the Reapers a space STD.

OT: Um... Yay? I don't actually mind the current ending all that much really...

 

[Doom972]

Looks like it's just a dumbed-down version of the Destroy ending. Except for the fact that the Child isn't there, it's inferior to the EC Destroy ending, in my opinion. That's due to the fact that nothing is said about Shepard's fate, or that of his crew.

I have to say that I liked the fact that the modder didn't make an ending where the Reapers are defeated conventionally and everyone gets to go home, eat cake, and have sex with their love interest. I still remember seeing one of these on YouTube, where Shepard and Garrus destroyed Harbinger by shooting two Cain rockets at the same time.

I'm fine with the EC endings.

actually if you look at part 2 it clearly shows Shepard alive and well.

My bad. I missed it. I still prefer the EC endings. Except Synthesis.

As others have said, there's not much point to the ME3 ending discussion. Anyone who can't accept the official endings, is free to make up another, or adopt someone else's idea of a fitting end.

 

[TheCrapMaster]

I have to give credit for the guys effort and it was pretty well done to be honest. But im gonna stick to the EC endings.

 

[Saladfork]

My problem with the ME3 ending was not that it wasn't a "happy ending".
Also, the EC changed the ending from an F to a D.
This ending I'd say is D-.

Well no Starchild so yeah 100% better. I haven't even watched it but just getting rid of him gets rid of so many problems.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Dude...

They made the Extended Cut endings. The canon is wrapped up. Let it go.

this, so much this.

moving on is the first step toward healing to...

**eyes wide**

Do it!

I actually kinda enjoyed Indigo Prophecy's ending. I mean, it was absolutely insane, but it was also kinda fun. It just didn't fit with the rest of the game.

Mass Effect, on the other hand, has Biotics. Having Shepard and (since I can't think of anyone else) the Illusive Man have a biotic battle using QTEs... that actually sounds awesome!

So I say again, in all seriousness, do it! Do it! Do it!

Pretty please?

See, I can't do that. If I don't like something I just stop doing it. If it's been a terrible experience from the get go, even if the ending rocks its not going to turn the shit you waded through to gold. It reminds me of that old joke about the guy bashing himself in the head with a hammer because it feels so good when he stops. Personally, I just don't pick up the hammer in the first place.

I liked the writing in ME, that's why I made it to the end. To reverse my comment above, even though the ending wasn't what Id hoped for, it wasn't enough to turn the gold that came before in to shit.

That hammer thing is also called "The PArable of the Turkey and Shit Sandwich" and they used it in a Critical Miss strip as an analogy fro Resident Evil.

Damn. And Shepard's also technically undead, and there's the obligatory "we're all going to die" sex scenes. I just need to edit in Theory of A Deadman over the default soundtrack and I'm pretty much halfway there. This makes me sad.

New plan. I edit the first two games so Commander Shepard is trying to cover up a murder that he unwillingly committed in a diner...

 

[viranimus]

Modd that adds an ending that isnt bad....

So its a mod that does nothing?

Im sorry, but the more I wrap my head around it, The more I am coming to see that the ME3 ending was to be the greatest ending in a video game we have ever seen. To mod that ending (even with the Extended cut for that matter) is to ruin it.

So my mind works in the same mysterious ways as the writers of Critical Miss? I'm going to take that as a compliment.

Well I was just pointing out you used the same analogy, and I linked it because I prefer the word Parable and the phrase "Shit Sandwich", but okay, you're welcome.

**hums "Santa Monica"**

You know, I actually bought that album by Theory of a Deadman because I heard them in Indigo Prophesy.

Santa Monica is one of my favorite songs.

I'll stand off to the side and laugh my head clean off!
