Wonder why they didn't come up with something like this in the first place. *sigh*

I like it!

[Pain Train]

Something that I would add is that if the citadel was destroyed, the reapers would no longer be able to work/fight in unison and could now be taken down more easily (especially if the silver bullet was dark energy weapons). A last minute rescue my joker before the fleet attacks the citadel would lead to a "happy" ending if your EMS was high enough.

[Nette]

Yes! I could live with this ending! Great job!

is there a way to sticky this thread so devs can see? Mods? Anyone? Saves people having to bump so often since this subforum is getting terribly flooded

[Irohh]

this is the ending this great saga deserves

[Warikz]

I'd support this, perhaps adding a Fallout 2 style montage about what happened directly afterwards, which would in of itself enable Bioware to throw as many of the consequences for players choices in as possible, as it would be low on art assets required etc.

Something like from 3,00 onwards in this video: www.youtube.com/watch

[Hokochu]

I love this.

[Thanatosia]

This is the ending I want.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

It might be a wall of text op but it's a very good one.

I just read the complete thing while listening to the ME3 soundtrack...

Never have I had goosebumps reading. This is how it should have ended.

Same!

This is the proper ending, imo.  The one that fits the themes and mood of the entire series, one where willpower and determination in the face of impossible odds somehow becomes a victory.  It is what Shepard would do.  And Harbinger actually joining the narrative in this game is most welcome.  Whether Shepard, crew, LI, and other characters live or die (happy, grim, or bittersweet) is largely irrelevant to me (though I think I'd prefer them martyred)... but thats besides the point.  This is an actual ending that captures the soul of the series, which is something we definitely didnt get.

I do have some minor gripes with it:

• Synthesis = husks idea was a bit over-simplistic and extreme.
• The Crucible being nothing but a fail-safe for the Reapers. It took the combined efforts of countless species among countless cycles to conceive, therefore it essentially represents all life that ever lived simultaneously rejecting the Reapers motivations, and this cycle's inhabitants are the ones who finally manage to pull the trigger on it.  The potential impact this can cause to the narrative and feeling of the ending is HUGE, and I can't believe BW squandered this like they did.
  
• Therefore, the Crucible should be able to do something (idk, anything) that gives this cycle an edge to defeat the Reapers, as beating the Reapers conventionally doesn't fit with everything we've been told. Yes, they can be defeated conventionally, on an individual level, but the battle for Palaven in particular, Admiral Hackett's concerns, and the general state of allied forces during the battle for Earth/Citadel indicates that collectively, we'd lose.

Also, the 4th option of rejecting The Catalyst could only be available if you have enough war assets / military strength?  Otherwise, Shepard could lament that they're just not strong enough, and be forced into choosing one of the three original options.  But I could appreciate an ending where Shepard rejects The Catalyst, and then ultimately fails, too.

But even with those above minor gripes, this is still 823748 times better than ending(s) available to us now.  I cannot stress that enough.

People EVERYONE calm down watch this video it all makes sense in the end and just wait for Biowares response.

[TcomJ]

And also stop that bullsh**t hallucination theory and integrate indoctrination theory at which Sheperd is so badass he got out of it xD

That's actually worse for us you know. Putting so much effort of more than a 100 hrs, getting all crucible techs in the galaxym getting as much military strength as possible.... the ending only gives you that you are indoctrinated or hallucinated and Geth died. Geth is a friend and that made fan-made ending's so freaking perfect. Clearing the story behind of what Reaper's intention is. The real new possiblity. The indoctrination ending then suck because it is still the same ending Bioware gave us.

[Pheonix57]

Don't forget to add in an extra scene with your LI at the very end!

Even having someone telling the story, saying that Shepard stayed with *Insert LI name here* and became a Mom/Dad would suit me just fine.

[Robert_Carleson]

I have to say johannes1212... that one hell of a good ending!

I have been reading many different opinions about the ending and I can agree to some of the in a small way, but not the way where some talk about thats its stupid of us to hope for a "happy" ending and "we should grow up", but I want my happy ending!

I want to have a Epilogue where Shepard is with his/her girlfriend/boyfriend (and maybe their children playing) in a garden of some kind having a BBQ, you see the others walking towards them with drinks and food to selebrate a new year of peace.

you see Garus and Wrex (if you didn´t kill him in MS1) having the same arguments as usuale and Tali interupts them by giving them some beverage, before it gets out of hand, and lastly the camera goes towards a tree there are at and goes down the the base of it too see pictures, of friends who did not make it, with some flowers beside them.

Shepards husband/wife turns and asks whats wrong and what he/she is thinking about and Sheperds replyes: nothing... just wondering whats up ahead of us in the future.
Shepard looks toowards the sky, the camera starts to elevate and starts to show that they are in a small unscorched area of grass and trees and in the far background you can se cranes, geth and other races helping each other in repearing London and somewhere there in the mist of the city a monument, dedicated for the war won on the reapers, is standing tall.

PS: you will have to excuse my grammar.

 I'd honestly prefer an all-new ending. One where it matters what my squadmates do, like in Mass Effect 2. I'd also like a happy ending. I know it's the time to go for Shepard, but I do want to see the series finish with happiness instead of heart-braking scenes. 

[NNC FROSTY]

I really like this idea.

[Tiercel24]

I don't see how its unreasonable to have the option of a happy ending. Whoever wants the sacrifice, grim, bittersweet, depressing ending can have it and whoever wants the happy ending can have it too. Still shocked and gutted there wasn't even an option for a happy ending. Thought I would be feeling happy and fulfilled after these 3 games, instead I feel heartbroken.

[jamiekas]

Really, I wish they had something more like your ending.

A happy ending would have been preferable, obviously, but I understand that it would be unlikely. But it is true that our decisions never showed up at the ending, which is ridiculous because the power to decide and influence the storyline was a main theme in this entire series.

Also, the whole thing is a sorry excuse for a plot twist. Organics made synthetics to kill organics so organics can't make synthetics to kill organics? No joke here?

Honestly, Bioware messed up.

Edit: Also, we spend the entire trilogy forming our unique Shepard, only to see 10 seconds of him/her making her decision. No epilogue including squadmates talking about the Commander, or your LI, or anything.

Acceptable.
No where near "perfect."

I probably should add a TLDR in there since looking at it now its quite a wall of text.
Anywho

TLDR; This ending retains 90% of the original ending's content, all it adds is a more believable context for the "Guardian Child", a 4th choice to simply not utilize the crucible at all and should this choice be chosen, a cinematic that shows the consequence of choosing this option with various war assets winning/failing depending on readiness state

If only youd worked for bioware

I don't see a truly happy ending as possible.

What we got was not bitersweet.  It was a complete downer ending, no matter how you look at it.  Especially after the inferred holocausts are taken into account.
