You have to be kidding me with you "solutions" .All you have to do is pay for DLC that should have come with the original game. That's worse than having to play multiplayer as it literally requires payment for a proper ending that I had already more than earned. Additionally, when the company released the game multiplayer was a must as there was no DLC. So yes, you do have to play multiplayer or pay more money to get the ending you deserve. It's a complete scumbag move to an extremely loyal fan base. So my only real option is to edit the files... that's absurd. I appreciate those great "solutions" you brought to the table by I am not putting another second into this game.

I understand this is frustrating since I had this problem as well. However, the Extended Cut DLC is available for free and fixes this issue so that the readiness rating no longer matters and the war assets you had (3100 EMS max) would have been enough for the best outcome. I agree that the multiplayer requirement shouldn't have been there to begin with in a game that many people are interested in just for the single-player story. Hopefully they won't have an MP requirement in future EA games.

Actually he had a total military score of 5612, which is an effective military score of 2806 without multiplayer or the iPad app. I do believe 2900 is enough to get the best possible ending, but you have to do an interrupt, which you don't need to do with an EMS of 3100. A few more planet scans or sidemissions would have been enough.

I did every mission, every scan, redid missions where I felt like I made bad decisions, etc. there were no more war assets available..... I dominated the ending that people acted like was so hard only to watch my Shepard get gunned down. You keep proposing things that my initial post already answered. I was not exaggerating when I said I did every quest, side quest, scan, crew/other character conversation, romancing, etc. Everything I could do was done. I picked up Diablo 3, at least I know I don't have to worry about Blizzard screwing up my game, used to think the same of Bioware. No need to continue this conversation where you act like I'm a dumbass (just finished my MBA at USC) because I didn't research how the game would end.
