... we see a Shep in a hospital room in a coma and your LI ...
I like that idea. A scene like that could be quite a tear-jerker if played right. You would get a very emotional scene of your LI fighting back tears and holding Shepard's hand as she's telling him about all of the great things he is missing out on. After a recap of the important parts, depending on how prepared your fleet was, the scene would then branch off in one of two paths:
1. If you weren't prepared enough, you hear the heart monitor flatline and see her go through various stages of grief. Take Liara, for example. If Shepard promised her in LotSB that she would never lose him again and told her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her in ME3, she could comment about that in the anger stage. Then, it transitions to a fancy military funeral. All of your crew are mourning your loss. Some of them say a few words about Shepard, with the last being from your LI. As your LI gives the longest and most emotional eulogy, the camera slowly pans out to reveal a massive crowd of people Shepard helped. Finally, it cuts to black in sync with the first round of a 21 gun salute and the credits roll.
2. If your forces are strong enough to rescue you in time, the camera is framed so you can see her face and her holding Shepard's hand. You see her look up and gasp as Shepard squeezes her hand and you watch her expression turn to one of pure happiness and relief. Shepard sits up with a bit of effort. She momentarily forgets Shepard is injured and gives him a big hug with tears streaming down her face. He winces a bit and she apologizes. She says something like, "I thought I lost you again," to which he would respond in a labored voice, "I always keep my promises." After some more touching moments/dialogue, there is a scene in which Shepard and crew are in a big ceremony being presented the highest award in existence and Shepard gives one last inspirational speech, recognizing the magnitude of the toll that had to be paid for their victory but that it wasn't made in vain, etc. It could either end there or you could finish with a short fan-service scene between a retired Shepard and his LI... little blue babies playing on Thessia, building a house on Rannoch, etc.
The people who want a really sad but cathartic ending with Shepard making the ultimate sacrifice get what they want, as do the ones hoping Shepard finally gets the happiness he deserves. Either way, I would be reaching for the tissue box. There are countless more satisfying ways they could have gone about an ending. It's a shame that the trilogy, like Commander Shepard, didn't get the send off it deserved.
hmmm...my idea is actualy,in my opinion, easier to implement but yousr
is pretty dam good too ,albeit the slightly harder to implement but is
actualy better..hmmm what is wrong if 2 mooks like us can come upt with
