*SPOILERS* ME3 Endings*SPOILERS*

[Maruset]

So, I assume that by putting gigantic spoiler letters we won't need to tag every post.

What endings did people take? I went for controlling the reapers, mainly because destroying them sounds like the worst idea and synthesis sounded pretty extreme. Wish they went more in depth though. I control the reapers and took them off earth and everywhere. Then what? Am I still rolling around somewhere at the time of that old man telling the story of how long ago that was? Seems like kind of a big deal.

Also, as far as I can tell winning the war is only slightly better than losing it. No mass relays means the entire galactic community is broken apart, with the majority of the military stuck on and around Earth. The fuck.

Also, gonna throw myself in with the outcasts on this one, but I liked the ending I got aside from the lack of details.

I did both controlling the reapers and synthesis. I'm holding the line. You die for controlling the reapers, btw.

[Pinky]

I did synthesis because it was the most cliche, and that was my character: he did paragon and renegade acts not because it was good or bad, but whatever was most predictable like in an action movie. "I'm saving da galaxy - now join me or I'll shoot you."

I also saved the Geth over Quarians this time, and I didn't want to undo that choice by destroying all sythetics. Next playthrough my Shep will be a at-all-cost pro-humanist to rival the Illusive Man and I will destroy them all.

[Maruset]

Yeah, think my Infiltrator will go with the Synthesis option as soon as I run it through the first two games. I was really hoping for you to wind up possessing Harbinger or something cool like that and talking to everyone, but alas. Kinda curious to see what all changes with Synthesis. Also need to apparently go 100% Paragon to find out what that last option with TIM was. Only morality speech I didn't get, was kinda annoying.

[Alura]

The endings were fine, it's the lack of a detailed epilogue that kills it for me.

[Josh]

I picked the ending where Shepard dies, the mass relays get destroyed, and my friends crash on an alien planet.

Oh...

[Orion]

For my Shepard, there wasn't much choice. Controlling the Reapers would've made him like the Illusive Man, which Shepard battled with till the end. The Syntesis option was worse. The sacrifices and unity of the galaxy meant nothing if everyone had essentially become a Reaper. I didn't want to destroy the Geth, but the only true decision my Shepard could make was to destroy the Reapers.

Ending was pretty damn thought provoking, I can't see why all the hate. Ive played games with much worse endings. Like Alura I would've liked more details of the aftermath, but perhaps tha coming in DLC.

Quoted for truth.

I'd like to know more about the Crucible. Was it just a huge elevator that went to the heart of the Citadel? Or did it make the options possible?

An entire game series based on choices with the last one based on bolstering your forces to fight the war all you can (including playing multiplayer) and all you get is the same 3 endings with different sound and background change with no mention of what happens whatsoever? This doesn't bother you the slightest?

I picked none, I straight up alt+F4'd before getting to the ending. A space unicorn destroyed the Reapers and I never saw that damn child beyond my dreams again.

e: I'm kidding about this because after spoiling the endings, I just picked the one where Shepard technically survives.

I really hate how the take back earth trailer pumps me up still...

It does a little. For a sweeping trilogy like this I was definitely expecting a better (or even tangible) epilogue rather than "oh you win, but you guess what happens after that" so that's annoying. No doubt the DLC will have something to do with it. I'd just like Bioware to explain the damn star child bullshit. Really, the ending asked more questions than it answered and that is not a good way to end a trilogy. It should be reasonably wrapped up.

Pretty much spot on.

Also getting introduced to a new character moments before the game ends, rarghewgaw.

[Dehan]

Hated all three endings. Didn't tell me diddly squat about what happened to the characters or universe in the aftermath and yeah I was shitting(extremely pissed off) at the mass relays getting destroyed...the fuck!

Glad they're changing it/altering it. I will buy any DLC they release though because the game was awesome. I just hated the endings.

If you can call them that.

[Jarka]

Haven't played ME3 yet (so I haven't actually read this thread, either), but I assume this is relevant, seeing as Bioware is patching a new ending in:

[Maruset]

Somehow I imagine the Krogan being quite skilled at baking.
