Mass Effect 3 - Final Goodbyes - Part 1

[@jamesfromthecomputer]

Man Grunt telling Shepard thanks for getting him out of the tank is such a small almost inconsequential thing but it’s so emotionally resonant when you think of the fact most people would’ve never given Grunt a chance and opened it to begin with

[@silviogrijalva8801]

Well he was pretty violent

[@commandshep06]

Silvio Grijalva stfu

[@ws1011]

No one leaves my son in the tank

[@blockchainballer4542]

That gave me goosebumps smh. Just knowing that you opened that tank despite EVERYONE on the Normandy telling you not to trust him. It makes Grunt feel like your Krogan son lol

[@malwarex2015]

And I’m a proud dad now

[@Borgcommander]

Zaeed's is the best ending. "Let's gut the bastards."....just too perfect.

[@olli316]

Yeah, those words turn players into ultimate reaper-killing supersoldiers!

[@misterbubbles6389]

It was a badass final performance.

[@olli316]

Going out with a bang...

[@Zombiewithabowtie]

Rest In Peace Robin Sachs.

[@s-094cam5]

Jack has an equally good one if romanced where she says "When this is all over, I'm getting *laid*."

[@enjoythestruggle]

These evoke so many emotions -> "Let's gut the bastards!" *adrenaline rush* ... "Thanks for getting me out of that tank." *goosebumps* "If I'm in that bar and you're not, just know I'll be looking down..." *tears*

[@TheChainsaw105]

in my ending, Shepard pulls himself out of that rubble, and grabs some beers in Rio with everyone. then goes and builds a house with Tali

[@sasquoman9778]

Rielly Finger In my ending Shepard becomes a god and shots all the reapers to hell with his pistol

[@ealbertson318]

Rielly Finger beachfront property

[@TheDancerMacabre]

In my headcanon, Garrus and Tali settle down on Rannoch while Shepard and Jack (along with Joker and EDI) essentially become Privateers/Space Pirates. Liara and Javik host a podcast talking about Prothean Culture and have egotistical daughters and Kaidan is that guy on the couch who chimes in every now and then. Sometimes riling up Javik in his own dry sense of humor

[@wardenkarn1664]

My headcanon is this: shepherd claws his way out of the rubble and stands up then with as much energy as he can muster yells triumphantly "WE ARE VICTORIOUS!!!!". he is then found by alliance forces and is rushed to a infirmary on the way he sees everyone celebrate their victory and hail him as a hero Edit: EDI and geth live

[@DevilishmanThe]

And living off the royalties from the vids.

[@ryandhamilton18]

This scene may seem tedious, but I think it's a testament to how they made so many diverse characters with some good to great back stories that you'd want to have that last goodbye with them.

[@TheBezixx]

Shepard: And Miranda. Miranda: Yes? Shepard: We'll bang, okay?

[@Fahrenhe1]

There's no Shepard without Vakarian

"Certainly, I'll connect you now." -Top 10 Mass Effect 3 Quotes

[@GT-wj3gl]

Ashely - "Hard to figure out how we got here" Shepard - "Bitch if you had joined me in ME2 you'd know exactly how we got here."

[@EpicPoohTrailers]

This part was so freaking sad. Walking through a grey and destroyed Earth while saying your final goodbyes to the characters you've come to love over three epic games, and knowing that after you do, you can only take 2 with you and you will never talk to the others again. WHY YOU GOTTA MAKE ME CRY BIOWARE?!

[@ReaperofValhalla]

Son in these times they gave you a gift from god in doing so.

[@cmdrme3se3ks43]

"There's no Shepard without Vakarian" You're goddamn right. Bros to the close!

[@cielopachirisu929]

That Communications Guy. I always wondered how he just immediately knew everybody. "Connect me to Jack." "OK uh, there's like, 345 Jacks among the Alliance troopers on the ground sir, you'll have to be more specific." Same goes for Samara (since that's probably an Asari given name) etc. I guess you could say that they're all famous because they're Shepard's pals, but, I unno. Just something I thought about.

[@TheDrexxus]

If it was an alliance trooper, they would've said rank and last name probably. "Jack" would be a pretty unique identifier, regardless of how many soldiers may have that as a first name.

[@themcknox]

At this point the normandy crew was the stuff of legend, so yeah the guy probably did know who they were 😜

[@user-zg6kb7jf4l]

Jamie, pull that shit up!

[@danischannel]

He does resemble the alliance soldier selling weapons inside the Normandy ( in the first game I believe ). If that's true then he knows the names of all his crew mates

[@ezequielmorales4221]

The part with Garrus always makes me cry. Goddammit, those are some manly feelings.

[@SkySweeperSyn]

Bad Boys for life.

[@IMoonShadowI]

"I'll always have your back" SO FECKING EPIC!

[@themainframe4687]

Garrus that calibration brought a tear to my eye :')

[@TheMaineMeta]

“Is there someone you’d like to reach?” *sees Jacob as the last option* Nope! :D

[@MauroEnfermoDeLepra]

Can't believe you can't say good bye to Cortez and not Joker though

[@orale_]

Fuck Joker, I always de ny his relationship with edi for his insubordination

[@commandshep06]

Dan Mar What?

[@KingRogue]

@@orale_ Wtf are you talking about insubordination he's loyal as fuck!

[@Rutherford_Inchworm_III]

@@KingRogue throw Scott Evil's brittle ass out the airlock

[@Anonymos185]

You say goodbye to Joker right before the mission tho. Dude even gets up on his legs and gives an honest to God salute

[@farakhhanif]

These final goodbyes are so amazing. They hit me in the feels several times, and it is a testament to all the great writing of Bioware...

[@zefurin7300]

I would have love the final talk with unromanced Miranda being : Sheppard : And Miranda... Miranda : Yes ? Sheppard : Thank you for bringing me back to life. Miranda : It was a pleasure.

[@margesful]

Damn if Shep had not died from all this (from bright color induced insanity) he sure would have died from alcohol poisoning afterwards, so many people offering to buy the drinks ;(

[@jamesfromthecomputer]

Grunt telling Shepard thanks for letting him out of the incubation tank always gets to me for some reason

[@SunayuDagostino]

Always

[@blockchainballer4542]

Because Grunt is Shepard’s Krogan son lol

[@permexOQ]

isn't the Communications Tech guy the Normandy salesman from the first game? he looks just like him.

[@ganjalfthegreen9999]

Shepard: and Miranda... Miranda: yes, Shepard? Shepard: your ass is crazy girl

[@somerandomgamernamedaustin6954]

Ah yes, the Final Goodbyes. With Shepard himself/herself knowing that he/she is going to die and on every playthrough I do of this game I always have to do these. It will make you feel like a jerk if you don't honestly, and my Shepard isn't an asshole, he's an honorable soldier, he/she save lives that are in danger and he/she will go through any mission no matter the challenge. Even if it's a suicide mission, stopping a ship from crash, going through an active volcano and even sacrificing himself he/she will do the job. That's when you know you got a man/woman to respect.

[@slinkbradshaw8674]

And here I am beating this game for the 100th time. Still getting choked up at these goodbyes.

[@salvadorestrada6233]

Liver/kidney disease would've killed Shepard, if he would've lived after this war. Shepard: *helps someone* Someone: i know this bar .....

[@Novarcharesk]

Final goodbyes where you may never see them again. Better wear a mask so they don't see my face one last time.

[@cristianotey9537]

So they can't see the tears

[@silentruth]

you know what i hate the most about ME ending? everyone keeps saying they'd buy drinks.. that drinks are on them, that they'll buy next.. but NO ONE EVER BOUGHT ME A DRINK! cheapass fuckers.. what does a galaxy saving hero gotta do to get a drink around here?

[@jefthereaper]

Zaeed would have been a fine Krogan.

[@stevenstice6683]

Javik thought Zaeed was a Prothean disguised as a human; he was, however, baffled as to why Zaeed keeps damning his god.

[@frozone7395]

Garrus' goodbye will always be the broest moment

[@JAYDOG1337A]

I always consider Femshep to be Grunt's Space Momma

[@ISNIICE]

Garrus + Shepard = best bromance in a video game

[@mivapusa]

Hackett should have ended _his_ speech with "Let's gut the bastards"

[@hpc1717]

Lol I feel like Jacob Taylor promises Shepard drinks so many times but never actually ends up buying him one. Even in the DLC, they just go to an arcade and I don’t think they have any drinks

[@Rohnon]

And still I cry when Garrus sais goodbye

[@spartanMN300]

I didn't care how bad the ending was. All of these goodbyes where worth it.

[@AverageOneill]

Oh mah heart! That last line with Garrus though! 😭

[@cristianotey9537]

I always wished to romance Kasumi no lie she is funny quirky and hell of a thief. But the Garry's ending had me in tears so bad. These characters are alive and feel like real people and their inevitable struggle against basically outer gods is insane, amazing and beautiful. The ending may be shut but all the moments leading up to it aren't

[@olli316]

Why is the background music so fucking awesome?

[@Rafmex16]

Agree... the atmosphere that it transmit is Death, destruccion, the same emotions that we feel seeing earth devastated a ost that really gets to the guts,...

[@fyi54]

Zaeed's goodbye was my favorite

[@spartanB0292]

Man I can't remember if I went through the communications guy... so thanks for this haha.

[@leothelion6075]

Space Kanye still cracks me up. Still one of the suckiest comrades though.

[@sasquoman9778]

If you do the Ashley romance and forget to take off the helmet during cutscenes she kisses straight through the helmet

[@Ceratosaur]

Damn I need a friend like Garrus! 😭😭😭

[@MrElliottFish]

Garrus is the best, the bromance between Garrus and Shepard is better than any of the romances.

[@mikebliss3153]

I've gotten so used to being Fem Shep that when he pulls out the "insubordination" line, I was expecting Garrus to call Shepard his boyfriend. It's very weird.

[@orionrolater2812]

Just occur d to me that I've never seen Ashley's non-romance dialogue. She's the ramance option that I take for almost all my playthroughs. And when I'm not romancing her, it's usually Kaiden in her boots.

[@danielkeen8698]

i always do Garrus or Tali

[@GenericUsername-qp1ww]

Liara is always my femSheps LI and Miranda my mShep's LI

[@truthfullcomentator]

Saved the best till last

[@ZacAndFae]

Sick armor!

[@Wardragon1012]

Commander Shepard saying goodbye to Harris will always make me cry 😭 no matter what. They are not teammates, they are brothers.

[@thecowboy9698]

With that armor on Shepard looks like something out of Dragon Age.

[@SenorGuina]

The Cowboy maybe it's the dragon age symbol in the armour

[@Doom_Head95]

Cause it is both games are made by bioware

[@amharbinger]

Bottom floor of the Normandy. You have to do it before Act 3.

[@user-rr3sq8mh8x]

It’s me or it’s like all members know about Shepard fate? Like 4th wall and try tell him without telling. Like Shepard when chose dialog options „don’t tell”?

[@RalphCQ]

Wait Cortez can survive?

[@Yay4IamCute]

Yes.

[@ebony61899]

Yeah he did in my playthrough.

[@littleraven89]

i didnt know he could die lol. he lived in mine too.

[@cjbladesworth8049]

Ralph Wiggum you have to 75% his gay romance

[@Yaroster]

@@cjbladesworth8049 didn’t know we could romance Cortez

[@PyroProspectParagon]

So glad you saved Garrus for last. So...so glad.......

[@ws1011]

The hardest goodbye was Tali for me

[@talizorahvasnormandy208]

you better be...

[@amharbinger]

Complete his side missions before Act 3.

[@TheChosenOne0803]

"Its more then just a few cinematic scenes" - Michael gamble, Producer of Bioware Do you still believe that now?

[@BloodThornODST]

They said it WOULD be just cutscenes, and it WAS.

[@BoltzHG]

Freeman feels you. Barney told him he would get him a beer, never happened.

[@Roshea]

Did Bioware cut Kasumi Goto's farewell speech from the Legendary edition?

[@Milu0000000]

No when extended cuts are out it seems so much better, still wished for something more diverse through. Maybe they will add more in next dlc.

[@amharbinger]

Before going to Cerberus Headquarters

[@eaglewolfzen]

now that I know what the endings entailed with more details and everyone not necessarily fucked if you choose destroy. Hell, even control is pretty much like synthesis, except they leave synthetics and organics distinct, plus Shephard doesnt completely die. Still would like to know how Shephard's essence and some unexplained advance in galactic civilization leads to evolution inducing wave working to make everything crazily advanced in form.

[@legodoc1853]

Wait, how does one get Cortez to survive?!

[@MichaelHonscar]

Talk to him and spend time with him. It’s pretty easy if you don’t ignore him.

[@MILKWynn]

Everytime shepard pauses. Ill add in we ll bang okay

[@jerry69411]

It's just talking to him, he doesn't have missions.

[@ALXDR]

That DA armor is so badass.

[@MichaelHonscar]

When do the goodbyes take place exactly? At the begining of Priority Cerberus Headquarters? The end of Horizon? On the Citadel DLC? I like to record my cut scenes and would like to know ahead of time.

[@amharbinger]

After the first portion of the final mission in the main campaign.

[@TheChosenOne0803]

They also said EC wont be just cut scenes

[@TFKofBD]

Well, Dr. Chakwas DOES buy you a drink :-P

[@amharbinger]

Complete his side mission

[@billymccafferty1464]

THE KLINGONS WOULD LOVE A FIGHT LIKE THIS!!!!!

[@hexmaniacciaran]

kinda wish they updated these with the citadel dlc because some of them are 10 seconds long

[@espresso_makes_depresso5905]

Bruh who saves ashley?

[@frederikklotzskov9673]

You still have to buy your drinks in Turian heaven?

[@javypotter1994]

I wish the rest of them had more emotion like Garrus, Liara and Tali

[@BloodThornODST]

It is just a few more cinematic scenes.... There's no extra gameplay at all.

[@knives4cash]

Red. Because Green and Blue still leave the Reapers alive.

[@vladxx2]

How do you keep miranda alive?

[@momatrix105]

Garrus T-T

[@IsaFinchelLove]

Man some of these are shiiiit considering we all spent and average of +100 hours in these games, building these relationships

[@junkie1982]

7:51 tere's when I yelled "FUCK YEAAAAH!!!!!!!!"

[@MeltedZues]

first time playing this when it came out only said goodbye to zaeed he to abd ass

[@Its-H]

Nice Dragon Age armor!

[@chrishilton3626]

For many of us it’s goodbye forever for some of these characters we don’t know what happened to all of the time when the Crucible fired secondly if mass effect 4 is hundreds of years in the future Liara is matriarch most of these characters will be dead anyway Garrus Tali Kausmi Wrex might still be alive but he’ll be stretching it Grunt would be alive though most of the others all Dead regardless of whether they survived the Reaper war Liara mostly all that’s left of the legend of Shepherd And the war against the Reapers

[@malyakhan1]

how do u save cortez

[@billymccafferty1464]

Talk to him

[@Mario53415]

err Act 3? (Explanation please)

[@metroidshroom]

Through a Me2 DLC same goes for Kasumi.

[@ghostsniper35]

Is that a threat? or are you kidding? anyways the real question out of that was what happens during those 6 months? i'm just curious...-_- haha

[@chafty49]

red so you can be alive if your ems is 5000!

[@Neuraliskk]

Awesome armor! :O

[@Ruby150]

Did you romance someone, in this?

[@dah500]

Why does everyone complain about the ending MAN THE FUCK UP

[@PhoenixFire32]

11:27 ZOOOP

[@amharbinger]

Meet her on the Citadel every time she request a meeting, give her access to the Alliance database, and if you romance her don't break up with her. Breaking up with her will ensure that she dies by Kai Leng's attack regardless of anything else.

[@Mario53415]

Wait he has a side mission!? When and where!!!!!! AHHHHAHHAHHAHAH!!!!!!!!!

[@wademactavish4707]

how do you get Zaeed?

[@theomenofwow]

now i fancy a cupcake damn you!

[@AntiSocialismo50]

Lol i just unlocked jack the rest died
