I'd like to quote myself:

"Shepard does not have to live or die. Both have an equally important place in stories if they're written properly. Read Lord of the Rings for a great example, or watch the movies if you're feeling lazy.. Everyone lives with some exceptions, and it is a relatively happy ending. But everyone, especially the main character Frodo, is left permanently scarred emotionally, physically, and mentally. In the end however, he and the others live and find peace after all of the trials. The key is delivering a meanful ending that shows you CAN achieve a happy ending, albiet a little bittersweet. The hero and all his or her friends do not have to die to give a deep and meanful ending. Look at Shepard: by the end of the game, his home has been scorned to ash, half his friends are dead, he's probably suffering PTSD, and has been dead. At best, his ending is bittersweet even if he achieves a "happy" ending with him living along with his remaining friends and making lots of blue babies (haha). This would enable truly devoted fans to achieve an ending where they feel their time and efforts were worth it and reasserting the theme in the two previous games that if you fight hard enough, you and your friends CAN overcome anything thrown at you with hopefully most or all of them surviving. The current ending does not keep this consistent theme."

YES YES! THIS!

Well said.

I just got an idea for a way for a good/better ending where you don't die to make sense without feeling weird.

So when you get the hardest/"best" ending where Shephard presumably lives you destroy the parts of Shephard that are synthetic.
Obviously this would cause great deal of trauma and make it hard/impossible for him/her to partake in combat.
If Mass effect 4 or something of the lines of it where to take place right after the ending of ME3 it would give a reason for why you can't play as Shephard, while giving a happy ending for him/her.

Yes. Very much so.

[lady winde]

I'm all for this if it was an option. Perhaps something you had to work -really- hard for.

[Edje Edgar]

Yes please. And give me some other sensible endings so it's worth replaying. So not a happy ending in 3 different colours!

I will continue to support this thread, as I think it is an important one if new new optional ending becomes a possibility.

I want blue babies, damn it.

All I want is to sit at a tropical beach with Garrus ( teach him how to swim) and have lots of krogan babies. Is it to much for a person to ask

[Filby08]

It would be nice to have the option. I have many Sheps, some I see going out in a blaze of glory, some I see making to back to her LI.

Choice, is the key word here.

[luzburg]

I cannot stress this enough! And I'm sure it's what most people expected, aswell.

QTF.

I have six Shepards and when i bought this game I was told no two of them would have the same ending.  For the one I played with first he was a paragon who earned the trust of first his crew and then every race in the galaxy and kept everyone going when they were about to give up,I think he should have the option of settling down with Liara in addition to the endings we got.

I want a chance to play out the extremes of everyone lives to everyone dies with other stuff inbetween because this is what Bioware told us we would get from day one and it is the reason I have spent over $200 on Mass effect and been playing it for years.

I don't want to force anything on anyone I just want the options that I was told would be in this game and I am willing to pay extra for them,what is wrong with that?

I wanted so bad to have an ending where my Shep and Kaidan walked off into the sunset together. Especially after how much work you have to put in to finally get his trust back and get into a proper relationship.

Agreed, and especially considering how brief the relationships are in-game ... two scenes maybe?  It's not much for sure.

As shallow as it may seem. I would have preferred the overused boss battle with T.I.M. Superhusk and a hollywood ending over what we got.

Sure, we would have commented on how it was clishe, but it would have been far more acceptable than what we got.

From my perspective, Bioware tried to overachieve and failed. I in no way condone the negative actions by the upset wing of the community - but for all the effort put into the ending, it just did not fit.

Looking on paper, the elements of this ending, seperated, wasn't all that bad.

- Loss of Comrades in the final push.
- The Final Confrontation with T.I.M.
- The issue of Synthetics and Organics is realized in it's ultimate form.
- The fate of the galaxy is literally placed in Shepard's hands
- Shepard's PDST actuates into possible full blown hallucination
- The Heroic Sacrifice.
- The Galaxy starts anew.

All of these pieces, separated, would have made elements of a good ending. But when BioWare tried to combine them, the pieces just didn't line up. It looked awkward and there were holes in the picture. The excitement was deflated rather than brought down gently.

It really did feel like the ending was undecided until the final moments of production, and couldn't really be pieced together by the end.

To which I say - hey BioWare: We've shared this journey together, there ain't no shame in asking us what we as players would like to see in the ending. IF you appeal to the better side of the community in situations like these, we tend to be more forgiving. SO much of this game was done excellently.

But the Child's play charity is indicative of how much love is outpouring, how much will is behind getting Shepard a better ending - or even just a better range of endings, and a good idea as to what goes on with each culture of the galaxy, and each of our friends, beyond just vague ideas.

We're at the end now, for this story arc at least. We as players want the questions to come to a close, rather to be left feeling unsatisfied with questions never to be answered.

That was one choice I was hoping to get. I like fluffy bunnies and the like.

This would be the ending 90% players dreamt of. I will never understand why some writers are so scared about 'happy' endings. The most loved aspect of this game is the relation between characters, and more precisely love interests. Would completely make sense that the ending deals with it.

But no, instead we got the generic “tragedy hero sacrifices himself” for the sole purpose of bringing easy tears to players. Bioware you should really tell your writers that a ‘happy’ (or at least NOT ‘universe doomed by rainbow attack’) ending is actually far more interesting and rewarding. But indeed it is harder to write, which kind of explain why they didn’t bother trying.

After seeing the ending I think what they ment is that we'd have to headcanon each and every single Shepard....There you go! Different endings for everyone!

yeah i mean the reason i watch action movies is the same reason i play action RPGs,to see the hero win against the odds and to see much loved characters fight and win.  What is wrong with that being an option for one of my six Shepards?  People do know that the vast majority of people who have fought in any war come back alive and have normal lives don't they?  If anything endings where most people die and there iks no way to win are less real then the so called "real adult" endings.

So what they should hsaid is after seeing the one ending in different colors people will be writing alot of fan fiction to get an ending they like and that makes sense.
