  • This isn't meant to be any kind of big statement about the ending--I simply love the Mass Effect series and did this for fun.

      The original narrative of ME3 is how horrific and ugly wars can be, that no matter how hard we try, we can't save everyone. This fan ending symbolizes what we wish for even though there are clues in the game pointing out that it is not possible at all. Thing is, how far are we willing to go to see an ending like this? What are we willing to sacrifice? "Sacrifice" is a pill we refuse to swallow, but in most cases, we have to. James Vega learned that the hard way when he saved the intel on the Collectors over the colonists of Fehl Prime. If he saved the colonists, would it help save other colonies who would get attacked by the Collectors later in the near future? The right choice is usually not the easy one to make.

But i like that, the reapers are a million year old threat that has wiped the galaxy of life countless times. Do you really expect to save everyone? The "happy ending" mod just throws this point out the window. And basically says that there isn't tough decisions you have to make.

      @@TheMasterUnity The games literally prepare you for the end of the trilogy by constantly reminding you that there is no easy way out. On top of that, the reason why Shepard's unbending confidence and will is key to defeating the Reapers is because of the final choices you'll have to make in the end. Ever since Shepard learned about the Reaper threat, he/she always believed that the only good Reaper is a dead one. Question is how far is Shepard willing to go to end them all?

    Sadly, this doesn't solve our problems because so many questions yet to be answered by the game. What was left of the whole galactic fleet? How many survived? How would the galactic society be reestablished without the relay network? Are the "dead gods still dreaming"? Without the relays, how could Quarians ever see Rannoch in near future? How the hell people get to know what happened in Catalyst's chamber?

Getting Edi to survive is more complicated since you’d have to break the links to her being dead or her name plaque using the sequence editor in multiple files.

    I do not understand. Reapers are destroyed... but that could only be if Shepard destroys the reapers in the end, along with all conscious machines, but then why are geths seen? I don't want to make the decision to Control the reapers because I don't want to create an artificial intelligence with delusions of an overprotective god created based on Shepard's mind, and I don't want the decision to synthesize organic life with the synthetic. I wish the geths allied with the quarians could be saved but I prefer the option of destroying the reapers once and for all. They are too dangerous not to destroy them when you have the opportunity.

    Those who think for themselves end up with alternative endings to this, like IT. The ending at face value can't be connected, it is broken, no way you can work around it. Yes, Shepard thinks he/s could end the threat of an incomprehensible force of Lovecraftian space monsters which corrupt minds because some another Reaper in the form of a dead child let, told and make him/her do so and after that we just continue to living happily again is a serious violation of common sense.
