ME3 is upon us, and no one knows what will happen. My question is, do you think Shepard will canonically die? Would be an interesting ending to the Legend of Shepard.
Something I think would be cool is the ultimate Paragon or Renegade choice, you must choice between Shepards life and the entire Normabdy crew.

Too many people are expecting to be married at the end. More are expecting nothing but a happy ending where everyone lives.
It'll never happen.

It would be a bitter sweet movie ending,Shepard never seeing the fruits of their efforts,never seeing the galaxy they saved.
But I would die if that happens to me in ME3.
And as to Aaleels comment, My happy ending is going pirating with Jack

There'll probably be an ultimate sacrifice of Shepard, but it'll be one of many choice. I don't see any ending being all "sunshine and bunnies", though.

Marriage would be really lame. I could see a potential semi-happy ending where it leaves the future with a LI open ended, but anything more than that just won't happen.
I could see Shepard having to go alone into dark space to destroy the Reaper command station, but it's a one way trip; he has to put himself in stasis out there and just hope someone will stumble upon him one day. Totally a rip off of Halo, but hey, it's cool enough so that I wouldn't mind.

uh......**** no
what the **** is it with this trend that in order to make the end "mean" something or be "mature" or "not a disney ending" the hero has to die (or be a total jerk like in FO3 or be royally ****ed over)?
No, I spent LITERALLY 100's of hours on EACH of the Mass Effect games and yes do want my goddamn happy ending

Bioware did say that some deaths are inevitable, but my guess is Shepards death will depend on how you play the game. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

An ending where Shepard could die or not die like DA:O or ME2 would be fine.
But I would be greatly annoyed if Shepard dies no matter what.

Shep doesn't need to die...I am sure it will be an option but not an ultimate paragon/renegade option for those who really want to do their Sheps in...for those of us who wish for Shep to continue his/her life, the Shep killers really need to stopping pushing their own wishes on the game...if thats what you want, then sure why not in your game, it doesn't need to be my only ending though....and I don't expect to have Shep sell out for it either.

lol, Shepard will never get married/have kids in-game, even in an ending scene. That would not in any way fit with the overall tone of the story.
If I know Bioware, the most likely outcome for Shepard, is that he/she mysteriously disappears a few months after the end of ME3.

Shepard already did canonically die. It was just a minor setback. If Shepard dies again he can just be Lazarused again. Death isn't final and frankly thanks to ME2 opening scenes, it's meaningless and without impact.

I'm not sure about one thing, is it actually confirmed that ME3 will be the last one and that there will be no ME4 with certainty?

That is of course, assuming the body can be recovered. If Shepard was say incinerated by a Reaper laser, there would be no Lazurus project to bring him/her back.

I'm willing to have "Heroic Sacrifice" as an option.
I'm not going to take it (unless there's an achievement involved...), but I'm sure some sick person will.

no, I simply refuse to play a story over and over again in which my character (regardless of my choices) dies at the end

Officially, Bioware have said nothing which suggests a ME4 will happen. They only claim they'll continue the IP, which could mean just more comic books and merchandise.

I think most of us have spent alot of time on these games. I wasn't trying to follow a trend, I just feel it would be the bittersweet ending ME would likely have. The happiest this ending will be is Shepard and his/her love interesting repopulating the galaxy

But it would still lack impact, since we've all seen Shepard die in the line of duty. Killing the protagonist of a story isn't something one should do lightly, and Bioware did it. Now it has cheapened any "heroic sacrifice" that could be made at the conclusion of the trilogy.Boiny Bunny wrote...

I'm sure that there is at least one ending -- good ending at that -- where Shepard will die in order to defeat the Reapers.

They could do it like Dragon Age. One bail out option where no one dies, one where you can sacrifice another squad mate, one where Shepard makes the ultimate sacrifice.
They could really be evil and make it you or your LI.

ME3 will be the last ME game involving Shepard. That's it, all that we know. Which doesn't really mean anything. Heck, EA may well give the next ME game to DICE to make a BF style game for all we know.
Or we could get the same sort of thing as Halo 4.
i.e. Oh no, the Reapers weren't really a threat at all! They were just a joke compared to these other things that created them which are now coming to destroy the galaxy! You can stop them in ME4/5/6!

You mean, there would be no need for a Lazarus Project :
