Amazing how you can take OUT most of the cutscenes/exposition and have the ending come out better

The last bit felt rushed and took pretty much all the BS from The Matrix films. Also your choices through all 3 games seem to be mostly ignored.

Once you have the two paths laid out for you and you're left to pick, it doesn't tell you which path does what. I walked up the left side and was left with an 'Activate' message and I got the blue ending.

Also I imagine that the human race is doomed whatever the ending because now that all of the relays have exploded, you have a huge chunk of the remaining galactic population in one system. I imagine nearly all of the nearby planets have been exhausted of natural resources too, how will everyone carry on?

- Why did Shepard not make any attempt to check on his crew after being blasted by Harbinger - Shep throughout ME ALWAYS checks on his crew after being harmed. Could it really be that he was hallucinating at that point?

- Harbinger who spent the whole of ME2 being obsessed with Shepard just came down and blasted him and left.. From the way he was portrayed in ME2 you'd think he would saver the moment of finally being face to face with Shep

- Why were there no Reaper forces in the Citadel?

- Going back to people's hallucination theory, why was the Citadel 'changing' and 'shifting' like that?

- Why was it that it didn't feel like our choices had much impact on the overall fight with the Reapers.

- I've actually read how the reason for the Reapers doing what they do was changed at some point between ME2 and 3. I don't know if the leak affected this but apparently the original reason for the Reapers doing what they do was because of a link to Dark Energy. Remember how Kal Reegar and Tali kept mentioning it in ME2, yet suddenly it barely gets a mention in ME3

Aside from the actual end, I think the one thing that disappointed me the most was that we didn't get to see a longer cutscene about the actual battle. I would have loved to have seen more of the space battle (the bit where all the ships come through the Relay ), see what our other squad mates were doing during the fight, what Wrex and Grunt were doing, how the Geth were getting on, etc. Seeing as we'd been building up to this moment for the last two games i would've loved to have seen a longer epic battle cutscene (kinda like what we got at the end of ME1).

EDIT: His name is on this monument wall....what strawberry float.

Anung wrote:OH strawberry float MORAL CHOICES. Quarian spoilers. They've tried to retake their world and strawberry float the geth over. I think I'm going to side with the Geth cause the Quarians are twats. Letting the geth machine race live could be the Reapers all over again though.

It tells you where proper planet-landing ones are, but not artifact-recovery ones.

find out which planet the Elcor quest is on? I actually really wanted to help the Elcors out (and see them in action ) but i couldn't find out which planet the quest takes place on.

On that note, how do you find out which planet the Elcor quest is on? I actually really wanted to help the Elcors out (and see them in action ) but i couldn't find out which planet the quest takes place on.

Anung wrote:Rannoch spoilers! The fight with the Reaper was strawberry floating awesome! Talking to reapers has always been the highlight of this series. I chose to Upload the sentience code but man, these choices aren't made lightly The Geth technology would help the fight against the reapers more than a rubbish nomad fleet. Why did Legion have to die and Tali have to kill herself I feel good that the geth are a true people now and the Quarians just couldn't let the past go so they had to be stopped.

This game man

If you do enough work across ME2 and ME3 you can save both the Geth and the Quarians by convincing them to back down during that scene.

Nice going on the genocide Anny

I've actually been thinking about the ending all day since I completed it this morning And there's a few things that still puzzle me.

- Why did Shepard not make any attempt to check on his crew after being blasted by Harbinger - Shep throughout ME ALWAYS checks on his crew after being harmed. Could it really be that he was hallucinating at that point?

- Harbinger who spent the whole of ME2 being obsessed with Shepard just came down and blasted him and left.. From the way he was portrayed in ME2 you'd think he would saver the moment of finally being face to face with Shep
