I remember buying PlayStation’s complete Bioware Mass Effect bundle a few years ago and binge-playing all three games until the end. As with most gamers, the ending of Mass Effect 3<\/strong> didn\u2019t make sense in relation to the rest of the player\u2019s actions and choices. According to the lead writer of the previous installment, the original plans for ME3 were completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n

Drew Karpyshyn was the lead writer for Mass Effect 2 but didn\u2019t stay on for the third installment in the series. According to his \u201cAsk Me Anything\u201d (AMA) thread on Reddit<\/a>, the ending for Mass Effect 3 would have been different if he had stayed on as the lead writer. More to the point, there would have been a definite conclusion that related to the player\u2019s action throughout the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
