Mass Effect 3 - Extended Cut blog - Kastrenzo

Well, It wasn't perfect, and it wasn't exactly what I wanted. but it was the best they could do, and for what it's worth I'm happy with it now.

I mean, the only issues I had were a few key wtf points in the vanilla game, I'm a wuss so most of my complaints were about my charachter, LI's, and other charachter interactions instead of choice consequences and such.  But it was nice to see a short Epilogue.

Also, however token it was. there was a semi-hidden sequence in the 5000+EMS Destroy ending *Also known as the shepard lives ending*,  I'll just call it the "SLE"

3/4 of the endings show the crew standing around the memorial, saying their goodbyes to Shepard. And Shepard's Romance Partner if they have one is standing in the center with his name for the plaque and puts it on the wall. and then is comforted by a member of the crew, usually EDI

however in the SLE, there is one seemingly token and insignificant  action in my game, and was even more difficult to read because it was Tali that was my partner and of course she wears the helmet, and you can't see her expressions.

Rewind back 30 seconds, Everyone is standing around the memorial sulking and crying, Tali in the center quietley, with the Shepard plaque. Walks up to the board but then hesitates to put it on, And then starts looking up as if shes thinking, and lowers the plaque away from the board as the screen fades to black.  

My thoughts were, "Oh shit. she knows, she knows that he's still alive",

The ship takes off, and then the screen shifts to a pile of rubble and broken shit. Dramatic music suddenly stops, and Shepard wakes up alive.

Closest thing to a rianbows and butterflies happy ending it can get really, So it's good enough, It wasn't what I Expected, but it's better than last time. and while it's highly unlikley, maybe it isnt over.
