Mass effect 3 endings liara6/17/2023 ![]() The player’s decisions affect not just the plot of the story, but Shepard’s personality and social ties as well. The protagonist, Commander Shepard, can be male or female, and any race of your choosing (for convenience’s sake, I’m going to refer to Shepard as “her” for the remainder of the article). While the series’ gameplay mechanics themselves are top-notch, what keeps fans coming back is the staggeringly customizable story. However, if you don’t want your opinion of the ending influenced in the slightest, you may want to put this article aside until you finish the game. While I will be outlining the narrative issues that some fans have, I will be doing so in the most general terms by leaving characters, events and locations out of the discussion entirely. ![]() As some of you haven’t finished the game yet (not least of which, the managing editor of this very site, who would have to read this post at some point), and as some of you have no background with this series at all, I’m going to attempt to lay this whole thing out as spoiler-free and easily-accessible as possible. I’m just here to explain what’s going on and why it’s rather important. ![]() There are already plenty of articles arguing for or against a new ending, so I’m not going to go there. That said, I’m going to do my best to stay objective. Still, if such a thing did come to fruition, I would be in favor of it. While a new ending would do a lot to fill the N7-shaped hole in my heart, it is not something that I have been actively campaigning for, nor is it something that I entirely expect to see happen (though my opinion on that is shifting). ![]() I cannot praise the game highly enough…except for the last five minutes. I wrote my review of the game after I completed my playthrough, so everything I said there holds true: Mass Effect 3 is one of the most spectacular games I have ever played. Before I begin, I have to admit a bias: I am an enormous Mass Effect fan, and I was very disappointed in the ending. ![]()
