If I do the right thing, create galactic unity, get a bazillion war assets, etc... then yeah I should get a happy ending.

but first and foremost I want one that makes sense, without deus ex machina, circular logic, and the death of galactic civilization as we know it.

I expected there to at least be the option for one. My Shepard survived the Biltz, debris impact on the Citadel in ME1, brought everyone together in ME2 and saved them, and I'm just supposed to accept he'd be like "Space baby, sounds legit." and hurtle himself into one of two Reaper friendly beams?

No thanks.

I want my happy ending, but Destroy'll do for now.

I didn't require a happy ending but I sure wouldn't have turned one down. Shep's fate became pretty clear when everyone lined up so you could say goodbye to them.

[Senario]

As a CHOICE? yes, as a MUST? No. I'd like to have a happy ending as a choice. But maybe they can pull a DA:O thing. Something like the Warden who USUALLY DIES but you can make them live without any real negative impact.

[orenjikitty]

As one of the potential endings, yes.

If I got high enough EMS, if I made the right decisions through out the 3 games, then why not? I dont even mind a bittersweet ending that's happy for most of the characters. Maybe not for my LI but happy for the rest of the characters my Shep has helped out.

I wanted the game to end with us seeing the consequences of our actions. If we saved the galaxy we'd hear Liara's message about Shepard from her beacon box project thing and the last shot would be the sun setting behind the Earth and a final look at the trademarked Mass Effect horizon curve.

What happens before that, who lives and who dies, the state of the galaxy etc would depend on player choices throughout the series. If you didn't save the galaxy you'd get an ending with the Reapers wiping out sentient life across the galaxy.

I wanted a tragic ending, a sad ending, a bittersweet ending, a noble sacrifice ending and yes, a happy ending.

I'd like a happy-ish ending (in which most of my bros survive and the Reapers are defeated), but I want to have to really work for it--no free rainbows for you, Cheez!

And a mandatory "oh sh*t" ending for if you suck at the game: Reapers win, everyone dies.

[Averas13]

Sunshine, rainbows, puppies, and dead reapers is what I wanted for the ME3 ending!

I also wanted lots of little blue children. (Just blue, thanks. I'll pass on red and green.)

Seriously though, I would have preferred a happy ending. I was ready to not have one, but I was not ready for the garbage ending they came up with instead.

[El_Draque]

 I want a cliche happy Star Wars like ending.

[HeroicHare]

i just want an ending where i can "Fu starchild were gonna do it our way"...besides recreating the mass relay network with the limited supply of materials is next to impossible

[Captain_Obvious]

Yo tambien.

[Element Zero]

I'd have liked the option for a happier ending, as in living out my days in what's left of the galaxy, alongside my crew. I'd have also liked to see the Reapers win in playthroughs in which you show you "suck at video games".

I always felt I was playing a military series, a story about a soldier fighting a war. Yes, it's sci-fi, but it was always rooted in a realistic feeling, not-to-distant future. Then, the ME3 ending happened. Clearly, I was not on the same page as the Lead Writers.

[ediskrad327]

i would like an ending were if you resolved the geth-quarian conflict with peace you can deny starchilds logic by showing him how the geth and the quarians together are fighting for survival and that the only chaos here is HIM and the Reapers, starchild realizes this and ends this cycle returning the Reapers to darkspace and thus ending the war without destroying the relays nor crashing the Normandy in Jurassic Park, if your EMS was lower than 3500 Shepard dies and gets a Noble funeral for our fallen hero, if EMS was 3500 or higher Shepard can wake up in a hospital and ask Hackett a few things about how it ended, Shepard's LI enters and plan the future (blue babies with Liara, beach with Garrus, giving Tali a home, etc)
the end


there, you have an either Happy noble Sacrifice ending or a Happy LI ending

Or the adopted krogan babies for Garrus and FemShep!  (I'm a sucker for the happy endings)

[movieguyabw]

Definitely. Though, I kind of hope it's not only accessible by the Paragon route. Maybe my Renegade Shepard doesn't get *as happy* as an ending, but I hope it doesn't boil down to "if you played Renegade, your ending is doom and gloom no matter what"

[pharsti]

If they do come out with epilogues based on your choices, maybe there will be various degrees of "happy" endings.

Too soon to tell, i wont mind either way, as long as the epilogues ARE based on my choices.

Little blue children please.

I know, I had to do a double take.  I thought it was 12 minutes at first glance! (forums are fast you know)

But really, it's scary the OP had that kind of insight...

Does anyone remember from the first game when its exposed that the Protheans unlocked the secrets of the Mass Relays? I mean, they probably could be rebuilt.....

That being said, the ending of the series wasn't that bad. I know a lot of people said it sucked. I mean, in a world of COD endings (YEAH 'MERICA) this one was quite refreshing. Its nice too see that a mainstream game company can actually come out with an ending that makes you think and talk about it for days on end.

Life is rarely black and white, and the ending of ME3 is the very definition of this.

spot on chief

life isnt always rainbows and butterflies... neither is defeating the reapers

[shrimprahmen]

its not that i want a happy ending...i want a real choice based on what i do and did through the whole series. sure i would love a happy ending but it dosent have to be super happy. meh..i got my own fan fic ending..which was not stupid happy but it made sense....shep still died in the fan fic paragon writing of it but lived in the renegade one..anderson died in that one...has to be a sacrafice from somewhere...of course still brainstorming my fan fic to have a paragon ending that has both living..but meh.

[CDHarrisUSF]

 Yes, I would prefer the option... even if I have to beat it on the highest difficulty and with the EMS bar filled.
