Hell, yes. I want my Shepard to have another shot of whiskey and a lager with Kaidan, and watch the reconstruction happening around English Bay.

YES LET US

I think happy endings are for bad writers who can't come up with anything decent for a ending so they just slap together a ending with unicorns and rainbows. Although I'm not defending the ending to ME3.

I disagree.If that was the case, then all good stories should have unhappy/bittersweet/enter adjective here endings, and all stories who have happy endings are badly written.

I would be more inclined to say that happy endings fit some stories better than others, rather than dismiss happy endings generally as bad writing.

As far as a happy or sad ending would better fit Shepard's story, that is up for debate since it's clearly being discussed in a lot of threads with valid arguments from both sides.

So had they added both choices in the game this could have been avoided, most people would be happy, and we could replay and give different endings to different Shepards. In DA:O, sacrificing my human noble warden was a fitting ending for her, as was taking Morigan's deal and going off to the sunset with Alistair for my elf mage.

Basicaly, I don't see why Shepard's story should only have one conclusion.

As an option, yes.

[Cpt.Cadrega]

I wouldn't mind it IF it was the hardest ending to achieve:you have to work really hard for your happy ending, possibly having a hidden requirement that you have imported a save all the way back from ME1.
Anything less and Shepard should probably end up dead, with the galaxy in various states of disarray, depending ont he EMR and choices made in game, with the worst ending being the whole "dark age of technology" (making Tracer Tong happy), and the best showing that with a galaxy united the reconstruction has already begun, and while old hatreds might eventually come out again, for now the galaxy is mostly at peace and will probably be for a while.

[WarGriffin]

but such an ending isn't Deep enough or thoguht provoking

[RazorrX]

I want a definite reapers win ending. I want either slides or video of the final days of our galaxy as we know it.

I want a barely managed to win, galaxy is in disarray and most of your team is dead ending (along with you maybe) that shows the state of the galaxy. (Races returning home and rebuilding, etc.)

I want a earth is devestated but can rebuild, you won, lets go have a party ending (because Earth HAS to be devestated since it has had reapers on it longer than anywhere else at this point).

BUT most of all I want everything after the reaper beam to be gone and something MUCH better to replace it. NO starchild dambit! No 3 buttons to end! I want the Catalyst to do something cool like Drop the shielding on the reapers and disable their network, allowing the ground and space forces to actually win in a conventional battle. I want the Relays and Citadel to exist no matter what and I want the people on the Citadel to still be alive in the good ending (maybe they were fighting district to district - killing the husks, etc. that were sent to harvest them). I had prepared its defenses so it should have been able to hold out.

[Doctoglethorpe]

Yes.  I want to have little blue children.  Its all I've ever wanted. 

[movieguyabw]

I don't know about a scene that specifically shows you and Liara having blue babies, or you building a home for Tali, but at least a touching moment with the two of you after the battle is over. Maybe the two of you embracing as you look up to the stars or something.

[Karait]

Ideally as an option which would be very difficult to achieve.

Generally, definitely yes.

Hold the line.

[DoctorCrowtgamer]

From the first interview I ever saw about Mass Effect I always assumed when they said we would control the story that this would be an option and that is why on one of my files for three games i worked towards it. I want one of my files to be about a hero who brought the galaxy together,ending hundreds of years of wars,and then got to go off into the sunset with his love. It seems to me if we can have everyone dies endings there is nothing wrong with a happy ending. I mean in ME3 Shepard loses so many friends I don't think there is a need to kill him or separate him from his LI to bring home the cost of war. My Shepard saw three good friends die and his planet nearly destroyed and he had to destroy an inter star system. Any happy ending is going to be bittersweet but at least there is a sense of hope and that his friends died for something. Please Bioware fix the endings and make one of them happy. if we can have 100% depressing endings why can't we have one that is happy and one where shepard gives his life saving the galaxy with out destroy it and the peace he worked for? I want to see that bring these races together did more then win some battles,I think it should be the start of a new golden age in one of the endings.

Hold the line people as long as it takes.

Im just curious if anyone els feels the same way i do. Because I feel that should have been there for people who wanted it, to be with the person you got so emotionailly attached to.

I definitely feel the same way.

[Nykara]

I think it should be an option for those who want it to be. I know I would like the warm fuzzies at the end of the game but that is personal choice and opinion.. im also not opposed to a hero's death for Shepard in the arms of or on a communicator with her/his LI something that truely does make it bittersweet if thats how it must be.

[Funker Shepard]

Definitely. It's a lot harder to get a happy ending wrong, anyway.

Also holding the line.

[Brahlis]

Yes, OP. I want it as an ending, but not the only ending.

That's what this is about ... we need truly different endings! This is what we were told was going to be in the game, this is what we expected when we bought the game, and this is what we expect to be given: what we paid for!

[Robhuzz]

Absolutely. I'm a sucker for a happy ending. I don't need it to be sunshine and daisies but having most of the squad survive and travelling back and forth between Thessia en Earth with bondmate Liara overseeing and helping with the rebuilding is an ending I'd want to see.

Until that's added I'm just pretending the story ended that way. Makes it easier to talk about ME3.

[sadako]

I played 4 runs through ME1 &2, might play more if it better if it guarantees a perfect ending in ME3.

I'm not going to get a perfect ending, so why bother?

Perfect ending, in game design ensures that people who wants it hard enough will try to obtain it. If I can't have it, why would I try? Might as well play other games that at least sooth my ego and not make me depressed.

I wouldn't mind seeing a happy ( smoochy ) reunion there first and then the drinks!

Bioware please don't make Kaidan loose her again - he already lost her once!

[Commander_Fezz]

I really hope it's an option!

[pharsti]

Yes, sure why not, the game was supposed to have multiple endings, make that one of them.

There is no reason why it shouldnt be one of them.... except... since it seems now that the ending is whatever you imagine, then every ending can be like that.

Just picture that Shepard got teleported into the Normandy with her squadmates, there, you imagined it therefore its real.

[OrumLeader]

 Absolutely.

And to be clear, I don't necesserily want the current endings to go away (although i think they need to be re-written badly).

I mean come on - the catalyst controls the reepers for god knows how many cycles (they didn't tell us) to "harvest" organics and then willingly gives shep the option to destroy them wihtout doing anything to stop him / her?  Not only that - explains exactly how to do it?

This story is fantastic - i think they should make a movie out of it - but this ending does not stand up to the quality of the narrative from the beginning and therefore is a severe disappointment and i think that has hurt Biowares reputation.

These endings do feel like they were "thrown in at the last minute".

In short, re-work the current endings with a little more thought.  Add a happier ending as stated by the OP.  Even if the galaxy is still destroyed - seeing shep reunited with his crew or LI is a happier ending than what we have seen.  The current endings are all very bleak and leave you confused.

I don't even know for sure if the reapers were actually destoryed or if they won they day - assuming you buy into the dream theory when shep got hit by Harbinger before entering the beam to the citidel (which the clip of shep gasping for breath seems to support - the rubble looks like buildings not the citidel).

I dont think there currently is a "best ending".  They all seem the same and they are poorly written with logic holes you could drive a space shuttle through.

[Pharae]

I want this to be one of the options, yes.

It should not be the only option, but after working so darn hard and suffering through so much, I feel like my Shep has earned a chance at beach holidays and creepy/adorable turian-human hybrid babies.

Even if it's ridiculously hard to achieve and requires playing the game perfectly, I want that chance at happiness to be there.

[darknessmyown]

This is part of what kept me on edge, what drove me forward, what made me want to try so hard, the hope, the dream that I could see Sheppard with the crew and LI when it was all said and done. I could have dealt with Sheppard having to make the tough call and give himself for the sake the universe, I could have handled that.

And then I got Mass Effect 3's ending, and fell into a depression for a day or so.
