The Mass Effect trilogy was a hugely ambitious franchise that featured acclaimed storytelling, voice acting, and gameplay design, but the controversy surrounding the Mass Effect 3 ending can’t be ignored. If a major character died in the first Mass Effect, for example, they wouldn’t return in the second title for some players.

The Mass Effect trilogy was designed with player choice in mind, allowing gamers to choose the look and gender of Shepard, and have a key decision they made in one game would carry on throughout the series. The series is set far in the future and revolves around a conflict with the Reapers, a synthetic race trying to wipe out all organic life. The original Mass Effect trilogy was a role-playing action series that put players in control of Commander Shepard, a veteran soldier in an intergalactic war. Now that the controversy surrounding the game has died down somewhat, let’s explain the various endings to Mass Effect 3.
