Mass Effect's ending may be changing, satisfying all those campaigned for it to be so, but it makes me sad instead to see this happening to a game's narrative.
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Yes, they should. No, they haven't. Saying they've 'caved' is a misunderstanding. They didn't give us a new ending to fix their horrible one. They're keeping the ending, just sprinkling some glitter on the pile of crap. Artistic integrity my ass. That ending needs to be burned and forgotten like a sick joke.
Again, the ending is NOT changing. They've cleared stated this in several FAQ's, so why anyone thinks it is, is beyond me. We deserve a better ending, we're not getting one. Fan's have no won, and Bioware didn't cave. Hopefully when everyone see's this "new ending" (again, it isn't) they will realize that no matter how much sparkle they add to crap, crap is still crap. We need a new one entirely, you can't make Godchild and it's logic, or the space magic, make any sense. No matter how much extra talking they add, it's still going to be stupid.
Spirits I hope they prove me wrong - I really really do. I love Mass Effect. It's disgraceful what kind of ending they've smacked on it. :/
What happens when an author breaks an unspoken contract with a reader is that the reader rebels and puts the book down. Bioware made a contract with the user way back in Mass Effect in 2007. They chose to break the contract in the last 10 minutes. There must be a reason for this !
The ending is indeed a disgrace s so many people miss the point that it's the fact that it contradicts so many things in the lore that pissed us off. It also contradicts major themes present in the story (geth and EDI working with humans in peace) yet somehow supposedly will kill organics. The space ghost kid is also a classic example of the literary device known as "deus ex machina" .....which generally implies a lack of creativity by the author. You can look this up on wikipedia. And this was known to be undesirable from the time of the ancient greeks. All this from the supposed "masters" of video game story telling?
If you want this game to be remembered for the right things then you would know they did the right thing...
Sure wish game journalists would read up on the news they are delivering... a simple search on google would tell you that it isn't a new ending but an expanded one. Can have this guy's job now?
