It perplexes me that the Mass Effect universe has such a liberal attitude to sexual relationships but a very gung-ho attitude to due-process free warfare.

So either you kill the aliens or you fuck em.

Hey, we don't kill or fuck the ones that are funny.  Hanar, Elcor, Volus.  I guess it only applies to human shaped bipeds.

I just imagine that if in Mass Effect 4 someone on your ship wanted to have a relationship with an Elcor the options would be 'go for it' or 'maybe you're not ready for a relationship right now' or 'does he have a good personality' and not, you know, 'EWW HOW DOES THIS EVEN FUCKING WORK'.

Why else do you think all the endings leave the universe in more or less the same shape?

After that ending, there's no way a Mass Effect 4 can be made without completely fucking up the franchise.

The sad thing is that we're talking about EA and a best-selling franchise here so you know it will be done.

From what I can tell, the endings fundamentally change the galaxy, including the destruction of the mass relays, leaving the galaxy in a new dark age.

Not exactly "More or less the same shape".


Maybe the revised ending will leave more wiggle room for a sequel. :p

Yes the ending 'fundamentally alters' the universe, but all endings alter it in ways that would, in future games, be kind of hard to differentiate. In every ending:

-The Reapers are no longer a threat (they either die or go away)
-There are no more mass relays
-Shepard is dead


The only spanner in the works is the whole synthetic/organic life thing. Though I'm sure they'll pull the 'so much time has passed that no one remembers the etc.

It makes no realistic sense that he does survive, it seems more like something they slapped in to appeal to the fans.

Sure, if they simply never touch some of the subjects, it could work without contradicting the ending.

They could also take the Silent Hill way and make one of the endings cannon and ignore the others. I'm sure people would love that!

He survives in the >=5000 war assets "Destroy" ending. That ending zaps your synthetic body parts, and you have a lot. Still, I'd assume that in the superspace future synthetic implants have failsafes that prevent people from dying if they fail. They're not pacemakers, they're augmented improvements; you shouldn't need 'em.

But it still makes no sense that he'd survive the fall, the explosions that would probably happen, rubble, etc.

It is my understanding that he never even made it onto the Citadel.

(Indoctrination theory)

But I haven't played the new DLC.

Has anyone played through the new ending?

Basically, yeah.

The retail ending was incoherent garbage.

The difference with the EC stuff is that now you can understand the garbage, they retcon a few bits here and there, and explain the rest. But it's still a crap ending to one of gaming's greatest-ever trilogies.

It's a shame Hudson e Walters made the ME trilogy ending into The Matrix trilogy ending all over again. Someone forgot to send them the memo that everyone hated that one, and it killed the entire franchise from how awful it was.

the EC removed the bad taste from my mouth.

I still don't like the ending, but at least it's less horrible now. I wanted to know what happened after the blasts, and now I do. plot holes and series theme inconsistencies are still there, but at least I got a sufficient epilogue.
