Everyone is in morning for their Shep - no reward for great effort. Isn't real life depressing enough?
A dlc could easily give us this:
If you stop Anderson from being executed, he goes up on the platform with you. Then, if you choose to synthesize and self sacrifice, Anderson wakes up because he's.... not quite dead, and he jumps in for you. Cut to LI finding your half dead body, wake up in the Normandy medbay - but only if you upgraded it in ME2 - lol, didn't think that upgrade was worth getting, eh?
Keep the relays intact, citadel intact, etc, etc A reward for real hardcore fans. Please BW. Before I have to fill jars with my tears and mail them to you.
Wow, that ending isn't original or cliche'd at all....
I don't get how some of you can expect happy bunny endings with the considered circumstances. I'm just as big of a ME fan as you all are and I wasn't expecting anything good in the slightest. We were fighting Reapers, god-like sentient machines that are impossible to kill. Did you think that certain technologies and lives would not be sacrifice to achieve not just victory, but life?
Bioware did not betray you. Bioware gave you an ending that makes sense, that was realistic, and that was necessary. All that everyone wants here is to live, to see nothing bad happen, and to see glimpses of Liara getting pregnant while Shepard is drinking with Garrus at a bar. The Mass Effect series was meant to get darker as the final controntation with the Reapers came, and you guys are wanting a story format that follows an episode of Teletubbies.
Get real. This story was about death, loss, and the sacrifice of Shepard to preserive life and to give all the other beings the opportunity Shepard never happen - to settle down and live with friends and loved ones without having to fight.
Also, I like some of your guys supposed better endings. The one where Shepard is all of the sudden full of energy, where he somehow destroys the Catalyst or whatever and does all these magnificent stunts, maybe with even Anderson at his side...uh, hello? HE GOT REAPER LASERED. Shepard is on the verge of death when the final decision came, you actually think he had the energy to keep going? Once more, get real.
And there is no alternative ending DLC coming. Just because Gamble tweets about something coming, doesn't mean that they had all these alternative endings set in place because they figured this might happen - face it, it's not going to happen, so shut the hell up and accept it and move on.
I've seen worse endings to series in games, films, and books and this one was pretty good. Take a step back and peer at what really happened instead of complaining about the subplots that would be entirely meaningless of Shepard did not sacrifice himself to destroy the Reapers.
