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.
Edit: As requested, here is an album of all the images used in the video: imgur.com/a/Rum2g

@LightStreak567 5 жыл бұрын

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.

@@LightStreak567 This is why i like the ending to ME3, everyone always complains that there isn't a way to save everyone. 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.

@LightStreak567 2 жыл бұрын

@@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?
