This was positively received on the BSN and on a few other places, so I thought I'd share it here. It's a text-based endings generator for Mass Effect with 16 distinct endings. Try it out, and tell me what you got, and what you think.

Does this generate the actual endings, or made-up, "fixed" endings?

This is a fan creation that offers alternate endings that reflect some of the major decisions made throughout the series.

So... "fixed" endings?

I suppose you could say that.

[up]Eh, BW won't even comment.

That said, the endings are better than anything ME 3 served up (not that it was hard to write that....)

Despite the Council’s best efforts, scientists and corporations began to disseminate Reaper-based tech into some of the most badly hit worlds. Those who accepted found their outlooks changed and expanded, joining a galaxy-wide gestalt consciousness while maintaining their individuality. Calling themselves the Blessed, they wove together a hidden utopia that crossed species boundaries.

When the Council finally discovered the Blessed, confusion became the rule of the day. On some planets, authorities hunted down the Blessed to kill or imprison them. On others, the Blessed were cautiously accepted. Now, the galaxy faces an internal struggle between embracing or rejecting this new way of knowing.

What.

This may be more fun than actually playing Mass Effect, if only because it's shorter.

I actually like a few of these endings. Some of things should be changed, but I like some of them.

The Light of Civilization is my favorite because it has a reasonable explanation for Synthesis and it sounds like a good setting for Mass Effect 4.

Tested it, its kind of fan ficcy.

There is also that it doesn't take into account what if you save genophage, have Wreav as leader and Bakara dead. I think creator of it didn't realize that would in story wise result to another krogan rebellion tongue

Yeah, I'll admit I dropped the ball with the genophage. At this point I'm not really willing to go back and fine-tune it, but this is mostly just intended as a diversion.

Some of these are very good and reasonable, some are a tad out there, and others give too much information for an ending.

They need to be trimmed a little. We want this game's ending, not next game's premise.

All right, I might fiddle with it a bit more. Some are out there, I'll admit; I was trying to think of how such a massive technological jump might affect the setting. As for the krogans... we'll see. I've got a lot on my plate right now, and this was mostly done on a lark, but if I have more time I might sit down and hammer something out.

Light of Civilizations is kind of cool. It would make a good setting for ME 4.

Singularity is good for a Golden Ending.

Huh, they even made something like this? Wow. I must admit, this is the first time I've seen a game's ending causing such an uproar everywhere. I don't know if I should laugh or cry that people even started raising money and opening campaigns to force a change. It feels wrong.

Anyway, the generator is fun enough. Somewhat similar to DAO's endings.

Damn, the "There is no Revolution" and "The Long War" endings sound like the're just on the verge of turning into the Warhammer 40k universe!

A few of them are very depressing, almost worse than the actual holocaust in the real games.

There Is No Final Revolution comes to mind.

I like them. The only one I don't like is the ending with the Blessed. The rest are very nice, including the Downer Endings.
