How do you think it will end?

How do you think it will end?

If you've seen the pirate copy ending go away! This is a speculation thread.

I know there will be multple endings, but that perfect ending we are all going to strive for, or that ending where everyone dies, how do you think it will end?

I'm still thinkng on it.

Wait, there's a pirated copy out!?  Or do you just mean the leaked script?

I'm still thinking about it too at the moment.

Pretty sure I've said this in another thread...I don't see Shepard surviving ME3...

I think Shepard will die even in the 'perfect' ending...

Shepard would just be too big of a hero in the galaxy; too big of an icon...

I just can't picture after stopping the Reapers the Commander taking off the armor and getting free drinks on Omega for the rest of his/her life...

Wow, that's dark maj. But I have to admit, if the developers did do that and bump off Shepard no matter how you've played the game or which choices you've made, I'd have to give BioWare props for a very bold choice that may run the risk of alienating a portion of the fanbase. There are gamers who believe passionately in the Captain Kirk/ Kobayashi Maru motto; "I don't believe in no win situations" and get very pissed off if they aren't able to survive.

He could go missing like in the end of Babylon 5 making the fans forever wonder what happened.

I'd say there would be a greater impact on the player if Shepard died regardless of how well the playthrough was....

But idk... There'll definitely be some kick ass space battle! :P

Yeah, I can see that as another possibility...

Shepard might end up 'vanishing' from the galaxy...kind of like how - KOTOR [spoiler] Revan went missing after the events of KOTOR...possibly to fight a greater threat as Kriea suggested in KOTOR2 [/spoiler]

I just don't see Shepard happily retiring...or ending up in the same sort of position as Anderson...I think Shepard will end up sacrificing himself/herself...maybe to deliver the finishing blow to stop the Reapers...kind of like the squadmate left on Virmire...having to make sure a bomb goes off or something...

There's your final mission! :P Fight off an endless amount of enemies for an amount of time...solo like in the Arrival DLC...

The Commander helps stop the Reapers and in Shepard's own eyes also 'redeems' himself/herself for not being able to save Kaiden/Ashley...

...A good Paragon ending, I think...maybe not so good for a Renegade Shep who has likely forgotten the name of the one who died on Virmire :P

:lol: ^

I just did a replay and Garrus said something interesting. Now it might be nothing but he says "I am ready for Collectors, Reapers, or something worse" could be a hint from Bioware about the creators of the Reapers.

Shep goes into dark space to find them, and who ever the new hero is in the new Mass Effect game after ME3 is hunting them down ten years (or so) after with the tag line "what happened to Sheperd?"

Ingame joke, or Bioware teasing us?

"I am ready for Collectors, Reapers, or something worse" - Garrus

"You think there is something worse than Collectors and Reapers?" - Shep

"If you expect the worst, you can be pleasantly surprised" - Garrus

Written from memory a few words might be wrong.

I think we have our general ending. Bioware did say something about Mass Effect 3 being the end of shepards story,but not the end of the ME universe

How about this...

We know that the Protheans were studying humans back in the day. And judging by the fact that the Prothean database with schematics for an anti-Reaper weapon was left on Mars for humans to find, the Protheans must've recongised the huge potential in humans.

We also know that the Protheans liked to build pyramids, and we happen to have some in Egypt. Now they are much much larger than any we have encountered, so could it be possible that they are the weapon? It would make sense putting the weapon on Earth because 1) it's in the hands of the most capable species and 2) if the Reapers struck before humanity discovered the Mars bunker, there'd still be a chance that they'd figure out what it was.

It's also an explanation as to why every other species would divert their own forces to help the Alliance retake Earth. Doing it out of the goodness of their hearts make absolutely no sense when there's Reapers burning down their own worlds.

Our leader actually has a valid point. What if all the other species knew that mankind had this kind of weapon, but never thought to tell them? Humanity has only beeninvolvedwithother species for about 30 years right?I remember Liara saying something about humaninty being an intimidating race in ME1. In short theres probably gonna be a trip to the sahara in ME3. (sighs) ME3 needs to come out like tomorrow

Lol, funnily enough I've only recently finished SG1 and I'm currently midway through Atlantis. :P

Ain't that the main gun of Anubis' ship destroying Abydos? :P

I was thinking something along the lines of Dakhara for the anti-reaper weapon
