After all is said and done, the galaxy recovers from the damage caused by the Crucible and life in the universe goes on happily ever after. The other changes that go with all of the endings now are a brief explanation of how Joker and the crew of the Normandy survived the firing of the Crucible and why they fled the scene. Now, instead of all the Mass Effect Relays in the galaxy being destroyed, which according to the ME2 DLC “The Arrival” would have destroyed every single star system that it happened in, the Relay is merely severely damaged. It seems even though Bioware was loathe to admit it was wrong about how it handled the ending originally, the new series of endings corrects what has been pointed out as a serious error in the series lore. The major changes are really the same that happen with the others.

This still remains the only ending which offers the possibility of Shepard surviving to the end after he makes the choice to destroy all synthetic life in the galaxy. Thankfully, for the ease of labeling they remain in three colors. Now that time has passed and a lot of us are over our ME3 anger, Bioware has finally decided to put out the “modified” endings that it said would more clearly show the differences between the 3 different choices you were forced into at the end of the game. At first I just felt let down that the series ended in what felt like a rushed slipshod downer, then as the days wore on and I kept thinking of all of the things that made absolutely no sense within the fiction they had created, I really started to see where all of the anger in the fan base was coming from.Īfter reading a blog post that spelled out what was wrong with the ending in terms even a non-gamer could understand, I felt genuinely cheated. Before I reached the ending of ME3 I was one of those that felt all of the controversy surrounding the ending was just made by entitled fans who wanted a happy ending on a story that really couldn’t have a happy ending…then I finished the game.
