Is it normal that Mass Effect 3 automatically opens Priority: Cerberus Headquarter after the ending credits scene? - From above crop anonymous barefoot child in jeans standing on weigh scales on tiled floor of bathroom

I have finished Mass Effect 3, and I have got the perfect ending where:

1. Shepard lives
2. The Normandy is almost fine and is flying again
3. All the crew members are alive

Now, after the ending credits scene, the game automatically opened just before Priority: Cerberus Headquarter. Can anyone confirm if that is normal? I thought that I would be returned to the main menu.

What I expected according to what I read online is:

This ending is left opened on purpose. However, after Liara 'Shepard's romance' refused to place Shepard's name on the wall and looked to the deep, and after the Normandy launches, and after the scene where Shepard took a breath, and after some speeches from Admiral Hacket, and other scenes. Then come the credits and at last a message from BioWare Mass Effect team asking for a feedback. After all of that, the normal behavior is the game should take me to the main menu.



Best Answer

Not normal.

After loading my game, finishing, and letting credits roll I was returned to main menu.

Considering you've done nothing that would prompt the game to loop you back to a save-state after credits, it appears you've found an odd glitch.

Is Priority Cerberus headquarters the point of no return?

Thirdly Priority: Cerberus Headquarters is the point of no return for the rest of the sidequests. You can still use the onboard vendors on the normandy to purchase goods, but because of the price markup on the ship it's better to visit them directly for whatever you need before commencing this mission as well.

Answer 2

Playing on PS3, I've always been returned to the Normandy before the assault on Cronos Station, after finishing ME3. Never to the title screen. That's the point of No Return™ so it makes sense. It lets you go back and play DLCs, etc., without having to find an old save you may not even have.
