what did you do with that spider queen alien, who did you send on the suicide mission, save/destroy Collector base, who you have an ongoing romance with, who survived the last mission, etc.

wtf...that was the stupidest thing of all time. It was not fun. It was not a challenge other than to see if you could stand running back and forth over and over again as you get in a second of targeting. Fuck you..

I killed all synthetics...fuck em....I guess I was still alive at the end because I took a breath? LOL...and since all three games apparently were actually a story some old dude told his grandson...I guess it is possible that none of what you played actually happened that way...and after all the amazing voice work why in the hell would they let the WORST VOICE ACTORS IN HISTORY do the boy and the old man at the end?

fired on while still on the ship. Is this a main quest or side quest? How far am I?

I chose the middle-ground ending and I found it extremely satisfying, if bitter-sweet. I didn't want to destroy all synthetics since I spent all that time trying to get the Geth and the Quarians to get along, proving the Catalyst wrong. Not to mention EDI and Jeff.

I've just viewed the other endings on YouTube, and while I can understand some players frustrations, I thought it was a great comment on predetermination. No matter the choices you make, some things in life are inevitable. While I would've been totally happy seeing Shepard meeting up with Miranda after the war and living it up on a beach, that was never how this game was going to end. Anyone who thought we'd get a happy ending really didn't get what the series was about

The Penny Arcade Report has a great write up on why the ending was satisfying and worthy of the series: http://penny-arcade.com/report/edito...he-series-mass

I didn't get the "the games were just a story told by a grandfather" from that ending. The text at the end explained that Shepard had become a legend, and that's what I think was the point of that epilogue. He lives on through the stories told generations later. He will always be known for what he had done to save the galaxy.

You're totally right though, that voice acting was AWFUL.

That terrible voice actor at the end was Buzz Aldrin. Watch your credits, people!

1. Start a new game
2. Import ME2 save file, choose Engineer class
3. Change difficulty to Narrative
4. Put all skill points into Turret, Combat Drone, and Inferno
5. Play until the part in the tutorial where you're told to take cover (this is the first group of Cannibals, second group of enemies in the game after the Husks)
6. Do not take cover
7. Send turret and combat drone over to do your work
8. Browse forum, watch porn, etc. while your mechanical friends rack up kills for you, you're unable to die due to difficulty setting, and game does not progress past infinite enemy spawn because you're not doing what it tells you
9. Look up every few minutes to send new turret and drone over, spam inferno if you want to make it go even faster
10. Win

stopping the Genophage, unless that was a side mission, too

you're on the Geth Dreadnaught, trying to bring it down from the inside. The warmongering Quarian admirals just start blasting it.

I thought the series was about that your choices determine your end, and that the end is not preordained. So if you make great choices, you should have a great ending, not a ending that Bioware pigeonholes you into.

killed mordin

ya i hated to see him go, he was prolly my favorite character in the game

killed him? In my paragon playthrough, he sacrificed himself to cure the genophage. In my renegade playthrough, I talked him into cooperating with me to trick the krograns.

Motherfucker wouldn't listen, so I had to bust a cap in his ass as he walked towards the elevator.
