Little bit of rewording and you get a nice renegade speach full of verbal asskicking. Could work.

I wrote a Renegade option here, Blah64:

Both of those where SO perfect! Much better than the "options" given to us at the end. My hats off to you good Valkyrie! really wish I could have made that interrupt (either one) even if Shep dies anyway, it would have been worth it to truly beat the reapers on Shep's terms.

[Chief Martini]

Woud've been better, although it requires a ****load of closure afterwards.

Tell everyone you know about this thread. As you can see from reading it, the idea is one both easily added to the game via DLC, and also leaves everything else intact for those that were satisfied. It is truly a solution for all

[Kyzee]

This is exactly what I wanted my Paragon Shepard to say! *This* ending, I could have accepted.

[Grimez7]

Perfect ending!

I like that as a possible ending, though I wouldn't mind if the Citadel remained in earth orbit as a reminder and testament to how powerful the Reapers and their creators truly are, how close we came to destruction and why we must work forward to a peaceful solution to the organic / synthetic problem.

Optional: If at high enough EMS and paragon points, after the credits, we see Shepard opening his eyes. 

The rest of it is alright, but the quoted sentence I have an issuea with, just like how I did in the Destroy ending.

How does having amassed an enormous fleet of many different species, both organic and synthetic, alter one man's chances of surviving an explosion/whatever else? It doesn't. It's stupid.

M<ybe, just maybe it means that there's a spare medic or enough medigel left to stabalize Shepered on the shuttle. With it he lives, without it he dies.

I would be happy with this ending - provided there was an epilogue detailing what happened to our squadmates and Love interest. If this had been the actual ending...Mass effect 3 would have been the best game i think i have ever played. Well done.

[Gloatie]

OP, that is well written and thought out. Props.
Even though I don't have a problem with the denoument as it is, I really appreciate your creative approach to dealing with dissatisfaction.

I don't see it fitting in with what we have though. The Catalyst doesn't seem to have the power to send the Reapers away. While "no" could be an option, the result would have to be continued war with the Reapers. I would say that could still be worth the freedom to say "no."

[Adugan]

$20 DLC: "No."

[FoxShadowblade]

After the credits roll, Shepard opens his eyes in the Normandy Med Bay to see all his surviving friends there, fade to black, roll 20 minutes of epilogue detailing what happened to everyone you ever met, and to the galaxy in DA:O style...or DA2 style, reveal it was Varric telling the story all along(kidding, would be such a troll moment)

 Halfway through the walkway, Shepard stops.

"No."

A raised eyebrow in the only indication that the Star Child took notice.

"No?"

"You're giving me a choice. My answer is 'no'."

Shepard turns around, to face the Star Child, his face grim with determination.

"You're giving me a choice, you say. But it's a false choice. All of your options are based on the same notion: Namely, that synthetics and organics cannot exist as equals. And I don't believe that. I refuse to accept that as a truth. Maybe one is born from flesh, and the other comes from silocon. But where it counts, organics and synthetics are the same: we are selfaware. We want to be free."

"Free from tyranny. Free to find our own path. And, yes, maybe we will make mistakes. Maybe we will disagree, and maybe we will wage war against eachother. Organic against organic, synthetic against synthetic, and organic against synthetic. But we will grow. We will learn. And, maybe, just maybe, we will find a better solution. But we can't, not when you take that choice away from us."

Optonal: "I see EDI and Jeff together, not as master and servant, but as equals.
Optional: "I see the Quarians and the Geth, organic and synthetic, preparing to create a new homeworld for the both of them, together.
Optional: I can see the Rachni, once feared throughout the galaxy, stand with us, as equals.
Optional: I can see it's possible.

"So, no. I won't make that choice. And neither should you. Instead, allow us to find our own way. Let us go. Send the Reapers back to the space between galaxies. Let us make our own mistakes. Let us be free. And believe in us. Believe that we might find a better way. A better way than this...."

The Star Child scans Shepard's face.

"Do you truly belive that is possible?"

"Yes, "says Shepard, without hesitation. "I believe we're owed that chance."

A few moments pass, as the Star Child keeps looking at Shepard. Then the avatar of the Catalyst disappears. The ground begins to shake, as the Citadel begins preperations to depart. Looking for a way off, Shepard moves as fast as his aching body carries him, to the edge of the platform. Looking across the vast Vista of Sol space, he sees the Reaper Fleet move away from Earth, persued by the Galaxy's forces. Seeing no way off, he prepares for his death...

...when, suddenly, a shuttle appears, with open doors, with the two comrades he left on the way to the Conduit, their arms stretched towards him. But, having expended all his strength, he falls down. While the Crucible/Citadel combination prepares to close, the shuttle lands, and his two comrades step out, pick him up, and carry him inside. As the Citadel closes its wards, the shuttle escapes just in time.

Optional: Shepard lays on the ground, unclear whether he is dead or alive.
Optional: Shepards lays in the arms of his loved one, unclear whether he is dead or alive, whle his partner is talking to him, yelling to stay alive. 

As the Citadel and the Reapers leave, the credits begin to roll.

Optional: If at high enough EMS and paragon points, after the credits, we see Shepard opening his eyes. 

The original (leaked) ending had something to do with Shepard dying on the Crucible then the Star Kid absorbing into him to save him. Big white explosion, etc. Only the Citadel remains operational as a relay. New relays were going to have to be made. The one ending actually showed Liara with a little blue child look over a Shepard VI and her saying, "That's your father, he saved the galaxy...." or whoever your romance showed. Meanwhile, from the Crucible chamber - Shep looks down at them in his Catalyst/White glowing form and smiles.

But - either way, YOUR ending is fantastic, compared to any endings!

I support this with all the thumbs-up that Siskel/Ebert/Roeper have ever given.

[Grumpy-Mcfart]

this is what I EXPECTED the whole time I I was listening to The Curiously Non-Denominational Star-Child-God-Thing™

Works for me.

[Mifuyne]

Yup, this is the canon ending for me now, including the eye opening at the end. I think the following quote sums up how the > 4k EMS ending would've played out:

I could even see my two squadmates surviving making sense since I was sprinting the whole way through. They tend to take a while to catch up, so I assumed they saw what was coming and dodged it in time.

Thanks for posting your idea, Samuel. It made my day

[Ricvenart]

Probably not the way I would have gone but there'd always be someone who can say that, but I'd be willing to accept this more then whats there, including the chance to call th Kid of his crud we can prove wrong. His fault Geth tried to kill us anyway, they we're happy on Rannoch til he came along. Though the question would remain on my didn't he send out the signal to activate the Citidel relay in ME1 when the keepers couldn't.
Would rahter see reapers gone, not like they do preserve the race at all anyway. And optional ending of Shep/LI at his retirement home, then some kind of epilogue to cover those still alive. Including "saving" anderson actually meaning something.

[RedWulfi]

I think we should see shep alive after the credits I vote for that. Waking up in the hospital with the L1 sitting beside them, a sleep.

personally I'd like something similar, but from shep's POV (like in the start of ME2) with the LI saying "I think s/he's coming around." Open eyes to find your whole squad there.

[madclaw]

I'm in complete and absolute support of this. It at least tries to make sense of and keep shepard in line with the way that he/she has behaved thus far.

[Pericles Redstorm]

 Sounds great to me, would at least add some re-playability, As my current Mass Effect drive is stalling as we speak.

[Pedro Costa]

Works for me, especially since it doesn't invalidate those who like these endings as they are and doesn't demand major rewrites from BioWare.
Still think the Catalyst's a stupid idea, but at least this is satisfactory.
