Yes.

I don't care what anyone says, the option for this what I wanted.

Mass Effect 3 got it wrong. The other two Mass Effect games had a triumphant ending. Shepard coming out of the rubble at the end of ME1. Or Shepard pulling off a suicide mission and coming out alive - potentially with most or even all of his squad still standing. That is Mass Effect to me. Compare those endings to the ending we got in ME3, and ask yourself - which of these three things does not fit?

The ending we have doesn't feel like the rest of the franchise. It's like if Stargate SG-1 had ended with the entire squad getting killed, plus Jack O'Neill, even though he hadn't been on the squad for years by that point. You can argue that such an ending would be "mature" and "realistic" or whatever, but it just wouldn't be Stargate, which (to me) was about the good guys triumphaing and coming out alive no matter how depressing the journey might get along the way.

It's why I ignore the endings all together. I just stop playing after the showdown with TIM. I have my own head canon ending, where Shepard is reunited with his squad and he and Ash end up together. For me, that's the "real" ending.

I think the best ending, doing everything right through all 3 games, should be a happy ending.

Actually, to be honest, I didn't really care so much about this aspect ... at first.

But, honestly, after reading how important this is to an overwhelming majority of people here, I started to think more on it. And it would be nice to have the option. Why the hell not?

If that was Mass Effect to you, it should be your choice to have that ending.  

^-That pretty much.   I had prepared myself for my Shpeard to die at the end of ME3 but after the heartbreaking stock endings, I want my Shepard to live and reunite with his LI. 

We've seen the "very-sad" endings now I want the "bittersweet" and "sweet endings" added into ME3.   Give the players a variety of possible outcomes along a "Happyness" scale.

I would love that as an option!

IMO, I would have liked to have seen something like:

Ending 1: Best ending, must fight hard and put in long hours to get, Reapers defeated, Shep survives, reunites with crew, big celebrations, gets to be with LI, rides off into the sunset... end of Shep's story but not the universe.

Ending 2: Fight hard but its not enough, Shep sacrifices life to save galaxy, defeats reapers, big hero's funeral, surviving crew deliver speeches about Shep, see galaxy rebuilding.

Ending 3: Not enough time or war assets, the reapers win, humanity and other advanced races harvested, cut to several thousand years in the future, advanced race finds Liara's time capsule, see evidence for reaper invasion, begin preparations for fight...

So much this. Dragon Age Origin stil lhas the best mix of endings. No speculations for everyone, but Self-sacrifice, sacrife ot others, sacrifice of the bad guy, and a sure way out, though with a bit of uncertainty what it might lead to...

I want my Shepards to hold their loved ones in their arms, standing in the ruins of Earth, looking into each other, smiling with tears in their eyes, ready to rebuild what was lost, starting anew, give hope to the broken galaxy...

If this is cheesy, I don't care at all!

I think Daniel Jackson takes care of that job all on his own.

[my Aim is True]

I think it should be a possibility. It doesn't necessarily have to be a happy or optimal ending, maybe you have to sacrifice something else to save Shep and LI

I was under the impression that's what most people were fighting for.

No, most people were fighting for an ending that made sense. Most people have no idea what the f*ck happened in the last 15 minutes of the game. It's like they handed the script to a monkey and said, "here, you finish it."

A ME3 "happy ending" would be too much to ask for from BioWare. They're hell-bent on killing Shep and ending the series for whatever reason. That said, I'd love to see that all my time spent over the last 3 games wasn't for absolutely nothing. 

[Iakus]

I think "happy ending" is too much.

But an ending where Shepard lives and reunites with crew/LI would be "an ending that makes me happy"

The question is, under what conditions should this happen?

They could just give Shepard a proper ending though where he and his crew survives, even if it can't truly be called happy due to the huge amount of people killed in the game.. Then just keep him out of any ME4, to garrus he said he was done saving the galaxy after this anyway, so there you already have a reason why he won't appear at all in ME4. Now all I need is a reasonably happy ending where Shepard gets to reunite with his crew/LI and interstellar travel isn't all screwed and I can headcanon the rest.

Pretty much this.

I can even live with the relays being broke, as long as it's made clear the galaxy isn't screwed because of it.

this is what I expected just hope if they do anything like this in the EC or some other DLC that I can get all the ending without MP.

how dose Shep living with LI at the end stop BioWare from ending the ME series?

I'm not saying that it does. I'm saying that BioWare believes that the best way to end this series (involving shep) is by killing him off. since before the game was released they said "it has a bittersweet ending" and people were like "Wtf, how about just sweet, why does it need to be bitter?" The end product of course was not sweet, bittersweet, or any other flavor. It just wasn't. We didn't get an ending. 

[Iakus]

And it's entirely possible for an ending to be bittersweet while keeping the protagonist alive.

The ending, such as it was, was entirely bitter

Yes this! Well said:D

[Gogzilla]

As long as it makes more sense then what we have now.

[warlock22]

This! I wanted this so badly. To live happily with Liara and have those little blue children:wub:



And this! On my other play threw to have Shepard and Samara finally be together:wub:, and for Samara to be truly happy

Since ME is "our" story the options should have been there.

So true. They said the ending would be bittersweet, where's the sweet?

If you pick destroy then that should be possible... I mean if the Normandys FTL drive got them somewhere while beign chased by the reaper killing field then any ship can get there assuming you find/build a functioning ship. Also you wont have to worry about a dangerous explosion chasing you this time.

We never see the normandy use the masseffect relay therefor the normandy should be somewhere nearby the solsystem.

In that case assuming Shepard gets medical attention it should be possible to reunite assuming the crew manages to put together a distressbeacon... Tali should be able to do that... give her a piece metal and some Eezo and she will build you soemtihng that makes precision FTL jumps... surely she can make a distressbeacon with the help of the rest of the crew and materials from the normandy...

We will probably get it in the Extended content...

What I will miss is the chance to have a proper conversation with the catalyst or a more personal response to it's insanity.. Like a renegade or paragon interrupt. Since that's probably not going to be part of the extended cut...  But happy ending.. yes you will likely get that with the destroy option... Not sure about the geth but it's possible the catalyst were wrong about the modified geth... also the geth can reboot from a stored coppy if their programming is altered, maybe they can restore themselves if the catalysts destroy beam tries to delete their active program.

[Rafficus III]

Yes, it's kind of one of the main reasons why we've fought so hard to keep certain characters alive. Granted, Ash and Liara were phenomenal LI's in ME3, Bioware should give closure for LI's outside of the typical night-of hookup in the EC. I also feel like ME2 romances were shafted by being limited to just seeing an image of Liara, rather than their LI. Regardless, I would hope Bioware adds a bit more closure as to what happened to your Shepard and their LI. Did Ash ever reunite with her Shep who she lost once and vowed to never lose again? Did Liara and Shep go off into space together, lost to all others and the universe's problems but themselves? Did Tali and Shep ever build that house on Rannoch? Did Miri ever have the child she's sought after? Did Jack get laid? There's so much potential for the EC, and I really hope Bioware realizes this and utilizes all this potential to provide a fitting end in what has been a great series and the great friendships and romances it has created along the way.
