ok, I knew I had a choice at the end, but I didn't know how to do it. I just jumped in the big beam. What was I suppose to do for the other choice?

All you had to do was walk towards whatever choice you wanted to make. You must've had enough resources to get the merge ending if you walked towards the beam.

My shep lived on my 2nd playthrough
Don't you only need 4000? I had over 5k.

Something like that, by the right amount of war assets I mean a high enough and I think 4k is enough. The other two endings leave no doubt what happens to Shepard.

Ya I had the night to think the game through and the ending was disappointing to say the least.

Yeah, the endings are kind of ridiculous. I too beat the game last night and after thinking on it, I'm really confused as to why they thought this would be accepted.

They really messed up what had been an otherwise excellent video game.

That scene where you and Anderson are looking at Earth and talking would have been the perfect place to end. Instead they add in this stupid fricking plot device that invalidates everything you have done.

No Krogan squadmates = frick

James Vega is completely lame, but I have to use him because he is the only tank.

My biggest complaint, along with stranding the Normandy. At least make shep's sacrifice worth it.

Every squadmate combo I used was successful. I'm playing on hardcore and haven't died yet. Well I've been caught by the Reapers in the galaxy map but haven't died in mission.


SBR- Bioware honestly needs to correct it immediately or the blowback will damage the IP.

That would have been the perfect ending to game 3. Reapers are destroyed by the crucible. Anderson dies but sheppard barely makes it. BUT NO. they had to mindfrick us with the ending. I think...I honestly think sheppard will make a comeback. Maybe in 4-5 years but Bioware would be stupid to let him go.

I totally agree, they changed the script based on the reaction to the leaked beta script so they have listened before. I wish for some sort of alternate ending choice being patched in (ala Fallout 3 Broken Steel DLC) but I'm just so incredibly confused as to why this was thought to be a good ending. I understand the need to end the Shepard story arc in a definitive manner, but not giving closure to the things we worked to bring together is a farce.

they could have easily made a 4th game with Sheppard dealing with the backlash of the krogans/turians/salarians.

Haven't beat it yet so my anger is still pointed at having to get scanned every time I go to the bridge and have to hear those cum dumpsters chatting.

Just beat it.

I feel... Underwhelmed.

Went with the destroy all synthetics ending. I didn't just wage war on those goddamn reapers to let them get off scot free.

I wasn't satisfied with any options the catalyst gave me though.

I'm still confused on what the other option was.


I jumped into the beam. What else could I have done?

Two platforms rise up on either side of the beam.

Left side is control, right side is destroy. Center is assimilation.

I took the right side because frick reapers. I liked EDI and the geth, so I'm saddened that they were collateral damage.
