Description Just a quick comic I drew up about how I feel about Mass Effect 3's ending after I played the extended cut. If you haven't played it yet, BEWARE SPOILERS AHEAD....
Even though the extended cut did indeed provide some closure, I felt that whatever choices I had made in the game didn't much matter in the end. I got 3 choices, I went with destroy as its the only one where Shepard survives. I love that the end scene where your love interest hesistates when placing Shepard's name on the wall and there is a look of hope on their face (not that you can tell much with Garrus). I firmly believe that Garrus would refuse to believe that Shepard is dead. So this is just a little snippet of what I think would have been great if it had been added.
Sorry about pic quality, stupid camera!

I chose the destroy ending too. For me, it's the only acceptable ending. I didn't want Shepard to die! Because in the destroy ending, there is a chance that Shepard might have survived.

Of course, I still felt bad about the geth and EDI, but they could be rebuilt right?

In my opinion, the reapers must be destroyed, because of all the suffering they caused. That means that I share the same opinion about the reapers with a certain prothean... (Yeah I likeΒ Javik a lot,Β please don't judge me. I can't help it, I like him for many reasons. I just couldn't let him relive the memories on the echo shard, because I didn't want him toΒ off himself after the war is over, I like him too much for him to die. Plus I think that reliving painful memories is not good for you. Like Shepard said, "Let old ghosts rest.")

Garrus would not give up on Shepard that easily! I chose the destroy ending to give him some hope. I could never leave him behind!

The art quality here is fantastic! And Garrus....Just like "nope. Not putting her name up."
Great Work!

If she doesn't die during the suicide mission in ME2, she will actually help you out in surprising ways in ME3.

Why was it so hard to give the people who faithly play the game, spent their money and enriched BW, MS and EA the ending that most of us wanted, esp. if we had worked so paragon hard to EARN it? Thanks to all the great artist who make up for their lack of awareness. You did a great job here.

I feel bad for EDI and the Geth, but I believed my Shepard would make that decision, she set out to destroy the reapers, and controlling them or forcing genetic change of all life just wasn't an option. Plus, there's a chance that she could survive, meaning her and Garrus could be reunited.

And we all agree that Garrus is just so determined. He would NEVER abandon Shepard.
Garrus: "Never."

I love Garrus' determination, it's one of the best things about him, plus he's such a sweetheart.

Only Garrus and Tali are worth destroying the Reapers, because they're the only ones that really care about Shepard...

xX-Archangel-Xx In reply to caporaletravers [2012-08-04 08:59:50 +0000 UTC]

Agreed! But I did feel terrible about the Geth though, and maybe just a little guilt for EDI too.

Sorceress-Nadira [2012-08-03 16:20:08 +0000 UTC]

Actually, I'm kind of content with the fact that Shepard gives her/his life for the cause - it does fit the game, after all it was always about difficult choices and tough decisions

But I am absolutely sure that each one of the LI's and Garrus even more so, would go to the ruins of the Citadel to search, at leas for a body to bury (*cough* although not in my case, since I chose Synthesis )

Also, I love how You drew Garrus , great job!

In my first play through before I got the extended cut, I chose synthesis too, and I did feel content with the fact that I'd chosen the noblest option which does save many more lives.
But when I saw the extended cut on YouTube (I had to wait longer coz I only have ME 3 on PS3) and each LI's reaction in the destroy ending I concluded, quite selfishly, that was the option my Shepard would take. Plus, I'm a sucker for a happy ending, even if it was just a glimmer of hope.

You did a great job on Garrus, I like him very much! And I concord with everything you said. They surely improved the endings, but they were too poor to get a great ending (worth of the amazing serie that ME was) out of them.
They should have known better from the start!

When I saw the extended cut I had the same thoughts. He would act like that and it would be great if bioware had added it to the game. I like the comic. *fave*
