Is anyone else annoyed that there is not ONE completely happy ending for everyone...

Theres not even a bittersweet ending really, unless Shepard dying alone and all of his friends and loved ones having to creating an incestuous colony while starving in the middle of nowhere counts as "Bittersweet".

Well, if you just saved the galaxy from being completely wiped out every 50k years, I guess that counts for some "sweetness".

You know that there is always a possibility that spoiling yourself by knowing the end, that it makes you say "Oh this is bad, why did you do this? I thought the leaked ending wasn't 100% correct", so it could make the ending worse as it actually is.

I am ESTATIC at the possiblity that Bioware may end  the  triology on a  meaningful downnote.  Having the balls to do that would win MAJOR points with me.   TWO WORDS:  STORY INTEGRITY.  I am pre-ordering a second copy of the game to give to a friend!

But is it "story integrity" when the story is supposed to have multiple endings but seeming has only one or two at best with strikingly similar themes?

There has been much discussion about the journey or the destination being more important but it really should be both as the game in theory is supposed to enable you to take you journey how you see fit to the destination of YOUR choosing.  Based on the leaks (IF true) it seems ME3 does NOT do that in a substntial way, hence the concerns if not rage by many on these forums.

I don't even want a super happy ending. I just want the possibility, the SLIGHTEST HINT that my Shepard might have a shot at happiness.

Your perception I guess. But they go to all the effort of making LI cater for all sexualities, why not go tok all the effort of making an ending to a trilogy cater for everyone?

BW would be crazy to have endings as suggested in this thread - who would even buy any of the add on content if it changed nothing? I wouldn't - what's the point for me or BW? What's the point of the game knowing you either cheated on your ME1 love interest if it made no difference in the end of this game at all? Sheppard still ends up with no love interest - you may as well shag every lady available with no consequences as regards to having closure as we were promised? Moreover, how did the Reapers get to earth with sub light engines at best? We're talking light years - and no object larger than a proton can be driven near light speed - and at Reaper mass that would require at best 1/10 light speed. Which would be hundreds of years to travel that distance with the Alpha relay destroyed. In turn that is the why of relays in the first place -

Sure someone could build a relay but the other end needs a relay as well - which places the galactic neighborhood back in the dark ages all over again. Massive loss for intergalactic trade and civilization. Every city on Earth is now literally destroyed and was within the fifteen minutes we have already seen - horrific price to pay both in lives and civilization - now THAT'S bittersweet in my books. Even if the Reapers are defeated the price for Earth is incalculably horrific - billions if not trillions of lives lost - that's BITTER in my books. Every race stranded from the other is NOT bittersweet - that's horrible in and of itself. Billions, if not trillion more will perish on a galactic scale. Unimaginable. That all makes absolutely no sense at all - the Reaper would then win the real war. That not only makes no sense but goes against the entire Sheppard story to this point in time.

Earth destroyed as a viable civilization, inner galactic commerce destroyed, Sheppard and crew forced apart, Sheppard not even with his L1 - that's NOT bittersweet, that's outright sadistic. Who could possible sell this crap to anyone with one live brain cell still functioning?

Exactly. At this point I'd even be okay with the Normandy being stranded thing if Bioware had left it ambiguous, allowing people to headcanon a possible rebuilding of the Relays. But then the epilogue comes along and rips any possible silver lining away from us.

I am. Bioware has really let me down with this news, because you would think they would have at least one ending that was a happy one.

Here Here. I mean. I usually don't go for the "killing my own character in a heroic and noble way" ending, but if it's a toss up between killing my Shepard and allowed the crew mates and LI to live, or having Shepard / crew etc survive but Shepard never seeing any of his/her friends again? I'll go with the former. With pleasure.

I was talking about bittersweet, not a selection of endings that cater to everyone. Why are they not doing it? I suppose because it is "their" story to tell.

P.S.: I'm not saying I like the endings.

[Mims]

A true dark ending would be letting the reapers win. You can't even do that. It isn't just that people want a happy ending, they want a variance. There is no variance, just varying levels of destruction. No matter what you do, at least three things always happen.

Wasn't the Deus Ex: Human Revolution DLC the same? Didn't change anything, since it happened mid-game.

So after all Shepard done she\\he didn't even get to be happy in any of endings? well that just ****ty writing right there.
It seem bioware don't care about fans of trilogy and just go for random "never played mass effect" crowd.
I've been bioware fan for years and this how they reward me for loyalty? absolutely no choices in choices heavy game?

as it looks like these are the only endings I dont understand why they did not do one where shepard and whole crew crash and build this colony while still bittersweet at least it says the whole relansionships with the crew we built up the love interest we had was not for for nothing

[Chrillze]

I also want Tom Jones in the game but thats a whole nother story

But Earth is decimated, EDI is destroyed becuase she's based on Reaper technology, the Geth are all killed even though they aren't based on Reaper technology, and billions more will starve due to lack of supplies as the relay's are broken. About as "sweet" as a lemon. 

Yes, you stopped the Reapers harvesting all life, but you do that in every ending. What is there to collect galactic readiness and war assets for?

On a more serious note I think it's kinda weird that they have been talking about how all your decisions matter but acording to these endings it won't make a difference

This, I don't see what is so hard of adding the option to be able to stop the aNormandy from being sucked away.

Another good reason to believe there's a happy ending:

Without some optimal ending to push for, the GAW and GR ratings are utterly meaningless. Where's the incentive to maximize your readiness on both scales if the endings are just so...sour.
