I didnt get any nobbing scenes afaik. I kissed Miranda and it was implied that something happened and I got an achievement, but thats it.

I tried to play 3 or 4 women off eachother throughout the entire game but was pretyy disappointed with it. Having spent the entire first half of the game telling Ash that she is my waifu, I took her on the mission with Mirandas dad and then made out with Miranda, and she literally just stares and doesnt say a word.

And Traynor shutting me down because she is a lesbo? Wtf man.

AND Allers not getting freaky on camera? LAAAAME

Traynor's dialogue is the same regardless of shepard's gender in that scene, so if you are male she still makes a pass at you. Cockteasing bitch. :lol:

I was playing renegade Shep, so was just waiting for the renegade prompt to pop up on screen so that Shep would just look and say no, lock the door and then the camera pans to Traynors worried face as the screen fades to black.

I couldn't bear to knob Allers as somehow Bioware made Jessica Chobot look like she had been hit in the face with a frying pan.

I think I had to bone Miranda after the first meeting where she asks if Shep is still interested. Which irritated me as he could have had Ashleigh the interstellar racsit or Liara, hell even superdyke Traynor made a pass.

I had Liara ask if I was still interested and I said yes, then still banged Traynor in the shower. Liara wasn't impressed :shifty:

See thats what I wanted.

I just couldnt make my mind up whether to go with Ashley or Miranda as I carried them through my past saves, but I ended up with Miranda and was hoping that Ash would go on the bounce afterwards. I guess she didnt love me after all. The ship crew I was hoping would just be a side diversion whilst I nobbed my way around the main cast.

I was about to choose Ash when ME3 asked me who survived.

Then I remembered what she said in ME2.

Yeah I was gutted when she did that in ME2. I forgave her in ME3 though (I even remembered her favourite poet and bought the book for her in the hospital).

Codename 47 wrote:Bioware have apparently been accused of false advertising :lol: Say what you will about the ending and stuff but I doubt they're the first developers to ever over promise. If Bioware ended up getting sued for false advertising then i'm sure Peter Molyneux will be getting worried. In slightly more positive news, Bioware have said the ending DLC will do a better job of reflecting our choices. I hope this means we'll get more cutscenes showing the alliances we built up and their impact against the Reapers. That being said i can't believe the last part of the statement - that has to be a joke :fp:

Speaking at the Mass Effect panel at PAX East (via) Penny Arcade, Bioware producer Mike Gamble said: "To be clear, the Extended Cut is not a re-imagining of the ending or a new ending. We're currently building it right now, our cinematics team is on it. Our writers are heavily involved. It's coming together."
So while it won't change the endings per se, it will expand on them to provide "more clarity for those seeking further closure to their journey", as previously promised.

Gamble elaborated a little: "It's more than just a few cinematic scenes. We're happy to be doing it... We want to give more closure about some of the questions you have, and in general we wanted to give the players a sense of personalisation with the endings.

"Many people mentioned that some of the choices they made in the game are not necessarily reflected in the ending scenes. We're definitely going to focus on things like that. We want to make sure that when you see the ending of Mass Effect, you now have the information and context to be satisfied."

He added: "It wasn't in the game because we didn't know there was such a huge demand for it, to be honest with you."

Bolded quote is astonishing. Bloody hell, just goes to show how far they had their heads stuck up their own arses.

Just completed it last night. I have invested in the game since ME2 so perhaps I don't feel the same as some people here, but I am dissappointed with the ending. However, it was more the lack of a killer last mission then the actual ending itself that got me. I wanted to have those choices who to send where again, and have people die if I made the wrong choices. Instead I got a kind of boring bit through London and just a massive waves of the most irritating enemies from the game. From that point on, my team-mates leave me and the game plays itself out.

The other thing, I did a whole load of missions, but it ended with just the Normandy door clicking open, and then just went to black.... :(

Just finished the game.

Really, really disappointed with the ending, but I'd enjoyed it until then.

I'd gone through ME2 again before this, doing the loyalty missions and DLC, and set myself up to finish the trilogy in style. There were some excellent sections, Tuchanka was the real highlight; both the Thresher Maw and the debate about that to do with the Genophage (until Eve died and I sabotaged the cure, saving Mordin). Enjoyed the Geth section too, and Grunt emerging from the Rachni cave was brilliant. The first twenty five hours or so was great overall, and it was building nicely. I also liked seeing what the old crew had done since the suicide mission, (Thane :( ), but they looked different, which was a little off-putting.


I was disappointed with how little choices from the previous games affected this (actually, I saved the collector's base at the end of ME2, were Cerberus significantly less powerful if it was destroyed?), the squad and Normandy in general were less interesting, with the exception of Traynor being a lot better than Chambers, and the enemies seemed to be a lot less varied, especially in the latter half. I would also liked to have been kept up to date more with the building of the Crucible, as it's completeness seemed to come out of nowhere. And I didn't like the new weapons systems either, the weapons attachments didn't greatly affect anything, which meant that there was nothing worth spending credits on, but the combat was solid enough most of the time (apart from Shepard refusing to go into cover and choosing to stand by it instead).

One question though, how did you increase the effectiveness rating? Did a fair chunk of the side missions, but it never moved from 50%.

Then it came to the final section, and it started relatively well. It dragged a little, but I can understand why there would be a lot of enemies there. The Banshees were a giant pain to deal with, but I wasn't too annoyed, even when there were three and the brute things together, seemed like it was building to a huge crescendo. And then everyone got destroyed by the reaper, apart from Shepard (which I could accept), nice section to reach the Citadel, but then Anderson was there too? Wasn't happy with that. Did the conversation, and then, the worst part of all, the part that tainted the whole trilogy, that child. Came out of nowhere, was really cheap and got rid of any huge battle, something that I'd be looking forward to until the end. There was no real conclusion either, didn't get to see the impact of who I'd saved and of my previous actions over the past 90 hours or so. And I still have no idea how EDI got back to the Normandy, and what happened to pretty much everyone.

I'll give the extended DLC a go, as I really wasn't happy with the original. Does From Ashes relate to the ending, or is it separate. Going to go back through the thread too, as a lot of people were unhappy with it, and I'm sure I've missed a lot out.

fx, from what people have said to increase the readiness....I think you have to play the multiplayer. I could be wrong but I did like all the side missions but a few and it never moved beyond 50% for me either.

Just finished my second playthrough of it and all the time i've spent spent focusing on the ending since i first completed it, did make me forget how enjoyable the game is for the most part.
It's not without it's flaws (alot of which could've been avoided :fp: ) but I did enjoy it a lot and would probably rank it as my favourite of the 3. More probably could've been done with the Earth section but it was still enjoyable. I don't mind the fact that the final battle had the Reapers throwing everything at us but what annoyed me was that it was such a small environment filled with so many enemies that constantly encroch on you. I don't know if it's because of the old consoles but it would've been even better if we had a bigger environment/street area to fight in. Would've been cool if we could see in the background some our allied forces fighting as well.

As for the ending. Second time round and i'm still annoyed at it. Even more annoyed when i look back at the Bioware quote that was posted - 'we didn't think there would be a demand for an ending that reflected our choices' :fp: That is baffling to say the least. It's a shame they're not going to erase that child from memory and it taints what was a pretty awesome game/series. They say they're going to come up with DLC that gives us ending that better reflects our choices but at the same time the ghost child remains. It'll be interesting to see what they do come up with. From what they've said so far, they're cutscene guys are hard at work...I hope they plan on getting the Voice Actors back as well but i bet that's wishful thinking. In an ideal world, we'd get an ending where the success of us using the Crucible and stopping the Reapers depends mostly on the huge ass army we assembled.

It's been said a million times but so much of the ending just doesn't make sense :fp: - like Joker, as if he'd just leave Shepard to die without even checking he was fine. And squad mates suddenly making it to the Normandy. Not even hearing or seeing Harbinger until right at the end. Second time round though - still enjoyed 99% of the game...still baffled and bemused and annoyed by the ending :x

Just read back through the thread, some amazing stuff there. :lol:
I like how there's so much content that does vary between the different playthroughs, which makes the ending that much more unsatisfying. For example, I saved Mordin, and have no idea who Javik is, and never spotted Kasumi ( :wub: ) in ME3. I also had met Kelly, but had no idea about what happened to her afterwards. :(

I was initially going to go back through the trilogy again as a female Shepard, not doing that now. I'll definitely be playing through the new ending content, but I'm not expecting anything special. They do have a lot of time to put it together, and a lot of fans to win back, so you never know. At least it's free.

And, if you haven't yet, watch the Animal House ending; it's brilliant. :lol:

Yup. Either that or play Mass Effect: Infiltrator on iOS. You don't actually have to to get the "best" endings though, so long as you collect enough war assets.

Cheers for clearing that up :) When I first played ME3 i thought i'd have to solve issues and do missions within those systems to improve the readiness for those particular areas.

In a weird way i did enjoy the game a lot more the second time i played it, despite the ending i do think it's a awesome game. I was watching the cutscene for the worst possible war assets for the fight against the Reapers. And in the worst cutscene you actually see the Geth fleet in full and hear a Geth pilot tell you they're ready for action but in the cutscene showing the best possible war fleet, you don't see that little scene. It's a minor thing I know but there are a few things throughout the game that make you query some of the things Bioware decided to do (like changing the quest tracking and how side quests are handled).
