When the Normandy is shown downed on the jungle world, it is similarly intact, displaying none of the charred hull or wreckage of the original ending. Now, no explosions or immediate danger is shown, simply the energy catching up to the ship. The Normandy had originally been shown fleeing the collapse of the Mass Relays, suffering explosions and loss of integrity as Joker tried to keep ahead of the blue energy wave. Both armies rally as the now-blue Reapers pull their forces back, and the crew aboard the Normandy are shown still hard at work, Commander or no.įrom there, the first drastic changes to the actual events of the ending occur. Fan outrage or not, the previously included shot of the Relay was an inconsistency, and is now replaced by the orbiting rings of the Relay itself falling apart.įrom there, the developers add shots of events similar to those that occurred on Earth taking place on the Asari and Krogan planets as well. In the Arrival DLC for Mass Effect 2, the destruction of a Mass Relay was shown to eradicate its entire system, which the fans pointed to as yet another case of the developers betraying their own fiction.

Addressing the questions raised by fans, the Mass Relay no longer experiences a series of explosion upon firing. The blue energy is again charged by Sol's Mass Relay, before firing off to the next in the chain. Once the blue wave of what seems to be Shepard's new influence reaches them, the Husks cower in fear and flee the scene. The Reapers again immediately leave the surface of the planet, but a new scene shows a pair of soldiers being attacked by Reaper Husks. Eventually he acquiesces, and the ship jumps out of the system.įrom there, the same cinematic cutscene of the battle on Earth is shown, with the blue-lighting-storm bathing humans, Reapers, and their soldiers. Unlike before, Joker aboard the Normandy is now shown taking part in the battle in Earth's orbit, refusing to retreat as the Crucible begins to fire. Like most of the endings, the actual cutscenes leading up to Shepard's integration into the Reaper consciousness remain unchanged. While most introduce new details and explanations that fans will no doubt appreciate, a few glaring questions still remain. So allow us to explain what each of the endings - Control, Synthesis, Destruction, and Refusal - has changed from the original.
With four total endings having been tweaked or overhauled in the name of variety and meaningful impacts, the more skeptical crowd may not wish to sit through videos of each conclusion, and certainly not play through Mass Effect 3's final moments all over again.
There's not a chance that every fan will now be satisfied and put the past behind them, but that doesn't mean BioWare hasn't held to their promise of giving the community what they felt entitled to. The day jilted fans of Mass Effect 3 have been hoping for has finally arrived, bringing new ending scenes and details for each possible choice Commander Shepard can make.
