It is slow motion, wobbly, and the sound is distorted and distant. The end sequence plays like the dream sequence. This scene shows Shepard waking in London after being hit by the laser because he knows he has unfinished business.ģ. Obviously it’s totally absurd to think Shepard fell to Earth from the exploding space station and survived. If you choose the destroy ending (the correct choice), Shepard is shown waking up or taking a breath while lying on concrete rubble. It opens the door for a dreamlike ending especially events that take place after Shepard is seemingly knocked unconscious.Ģ. Playable dream sequences introduced early in the game force you to question what is and is not a dream because not all playable sections in Mass Effect 3 are reality. This is the only game in the series that has dream sequences. Everything that takes place during the final scenes is Shepard’s way of dealing with and either overcoming or succumbing to indoctrination. It is the manifestation of his battle against indoctrination. It is a dream, but more than just a dream. Most of my philosphy is based on a “Indoctrination Theory” which I believe solves all issue and is the intended interpretation of the ending.īasically the theory says everything that took place after Shepard was hit by the Reaper laser on his way to the conduit is inside Shepard’s head. I would like to take this article on, and prove to you that the ending is actually not bad. I noticed multiple ending detractors refering to this article: Mass Effect 3 Ending Hatred 5 Reasons Fans are Right as proof that the ending is indeed bad. Doing my best to fight the good fight but but it’s alot like playing whack-a-mole.

I have been fighting many long and hard battle on the bioware forums about it. A large amount of players seem to hate the Mass Effect 3 ending.
