My femshep's ending. Please enjoy

Guys/Gals,

What the heck does the war map readiness ratings have to do with the ending?

Unlike ME1 or 2 where if u didn't do many side quests, during last mission your squadmates will die ... ME3 seems like no difference at all?

To explain this,

You gain Galactic Readiness (GR) by playing multiplayer. GR is 50% by default
You gain Total Military Strength (TMS) by playing the single player campaign.
Effective Military Strength (EMS) will determine what ending you will get.

EMS = TMS x GR

If you're not into any multiplayer at all, all your TMS will be halved. Example, if you managed to amass 8000 TMS in single player mode, your EMS is only 4000 if you don't play multiplayer mode. However, if you do play multiplayer and you manage to get your GR to 100%, your EMS will be 8000.

How EMS will influence your ending
<4000 Bad ending
>4000 Good ending, however to get the best possible ending, you need to save Anderson
>5000 Best ending possible, without needing to save Anderson

It is entirely possible to play SP only and get the 'best ending'. Best ending in quotations because technically they are all the same.

Ah! Thanks for the explanation! I was wondering why my ending seemed a little ... shorter ... than other endings I'd seen on the web. Time for another playthrough!

man u guys weren't kidding. all the endings sucked balls! it's like the writers just gave up thinking about it and just went with the three most derpiest..

i don't mind Shepard dying but i was really hoping for a Fallout-esque (see New Vegas) kind of closure for everyone else. They don't even have to make a cutscene..

as for the rest of the game i thought it was great.

What a way to cap such a great game huh?

yeah bro. i mean what's the point of making peace between the krogan, turians, geth & quarians if all i'd get in the end is a crash-landed Normandy?

i had hoped to see Liara's baby, Tali & Garrus's wedding and a goddamnit Shepard statue as big as Harbinger!

ok maybe i need to lie down now..

Have your imagination, and who knows what the future holds?

I'm annoyed not by the ending but by the fact I cannot save in the command center. I want to hear these last words from them again damnit without having to be blinded by the damn Hades cannon!!

i also didn't like the London fight. AT ALL. from start to finish. felt it was kinda dull after Tuchanka & Rannoch..

and maybe because i kept getting raped by Brutes & Banshees. why u no stop chasing me?

LOL...

Enjoying the calm before the storm at the Forward Operating Base. DAMNNIT tearing up at Garrus and Shepard talking about meeting 'in the bar up there'! And Ashley. Guess they all know he ain't coming back, for good this time.

there's one other thing i don't get. what the heck was the Normandy doing in the end? outrunning the Crucible beam?

WHY???

Er another imagination segment I put it together with how come Kaidan acts like he was on every mission in ME1 when I never took him out of the Normandy

Shoddy writing and plotholes.

Normandy has a secret plothole device that allows them to escape.

No, seriously, that scene was just wrong. The Joker I know would never abandon Shepard.

they even had a cliched lets look at the pretty sunset afterwards..

i would have been happy if the ending only showed the Shepard hologram device that Liara made being played..

banshee took a shit load of time to kill even with maximum upgraded sniper and armor piercing ammo, tank and the flying sheep is pretty much a 1 hit KO for me

and ending did suck but somewhat true if they didn't had such ending, the storyline will never end. Eventually, somebody will fight and Shepard have to be the universe saviour again and again.

And Kai Leng sucks. Too easy already prior to the final fight

Not really.

Shepard would say, "I saved the ****ing galaxy from the Reapers. Go sort this yourself. Imma gonna bang Liara."

Yeah true, way to tie up all the loose ends by making things explode. Easy way, kill him/her.

Kai Leng... reading Ascension, I expected him to be different. Oh well.

the bath room scene with samantha traynor as female shep is pretty satisfying

oh wait

Oh, btw, on Kai Leng, you should read this for what he does during Mass Effect: Deception.
