at around 2:53. 

Notice what the dialogue option in the upper-right says? 

[Balmung31]

Bump because this should settle the debate on there being the option for a happy ending.

If Bioware is going to tease us with things like this, then it's reprehensible to not allow it as a possibility of occurring.

[Iztiak]

The issue is less of a happy ending, it's the lack of an ending that we chose.

I personally want a happy ending.

But I'd prefer a true sad ending over the one we currently have.

I just want to be able to know my choices meant something.

[chibilombax]

Or just. You know. Five years of our lives with a consistent story and having no reward for our time and money.

[Harorrd]

atleast give me the option thats not the same magic with diffrent colours

[Mr. Big Pimpin]

There are lots of other situations like that one in the game, too.

[BrotherFluffy]

Yeah, you've repeatedly promised your LI(especially if it was Liara), that you'd survive this and come back and make lots of little blue babies with her in LotSB and ME3.


Oops.

Very true.  This one instance is far from the only one.

Personally, I think it should be up to the player what happens to Shepherd, but more importantly for everyone, there should at least be an "ever after".

The Mass Effect universe and everything that makes it unique being destroyed, the Normandy randomly crash landing on an empty world, and the fate of everyone and everything being unknown hardly constitutes a satisfactory ending for a story we've invested around 100 hours.

I want an ending that does my character justice. None of these killing chute options do.

Why should every other character in the game get a better death than my own when my own is the main protagonist?

And, yes, I would also like to have the the option for a happy ending for those Sheps who want it.

[Balmung31]

I would encourage those who want happily-ever-afters for Shepard to use this when debating others about the endings.

Bioware knowingly teased these ideas at several points throughout the games as a means to draw people in and want to play their games. To simply say, "Well, this is what WE wanted for Shepard, but thanks for playing!" is a very, very low blow.

[Adamantium93]

As much as we're being demonized, I DO want a happily ever after. Why is that so wrong?

[LolaLei]

I would like the option of a "happy" ending for Shepard... It doesn't have to be marriage or anything elaborate, just a scene where Shepard is reunited with his/her LI and/or crew would be nice.

[Taleroth]

I don't want happily-ever-after. That said, I don't want not-happy. I just want it to make some bleeding sense. I want it to follow what came before and not require magic.

If Shepard also got magically teleported onto the crashed Normandy that was running away for no reason, I'd still be exactly where I am today.

I respect your choice in the first part of your post, and totally agree with the second. 

I DO want happily-ever-after, because it was essentially teased at various points throughout the game.  I have no intention of asking your options to be removed to make way for mine.

There is a very good argument that a happy ending was telegraphed by the game. The "Shepard is going to die, so sad" only ever comes up during the last part of earth. It's an abrupt tonal shift to everyone being psychic and knowing the future. Nowhere else in the franchise is death treated as so certain and imminent.

NOT EVEN THE BLOODY SUICIDE MISSION.

Indeed.  This switch to such a downer ending even in the best of circumstances (Shep buried under rubble, LI lost with the Normandy somewhere) goes against the template already set by Bioware. 

[nomoredruggs]

Shepard has pulled off the impossible and survived both in ME and ME2, and we are constantly told by other characters how if anyone can do it, it is us.
I think all this build up and epicness rightly cultivates in us the expectation that our hero can make it in the end.
Given the progression of the story I think it's only natural that a lot of people expected there would be at least an option for their Shepard to save the galaxy,survive and live happily ever after.
I mean, it seemed like what it was leading to was A) you succeed and survive or you succeed but at great personal cost and sacrifice , and then some variations inbetween.
And ofcourse, epic battles with all the armies you have managed to gather!
I'm at a loss as to why they wouldn't at least include these endings .

I don't know why but my mind is filled with hanars, right now.

Bump again

[Xarlan666]

It would be nice if a happy ending was an option, not all the endings of course, but some of them at least. My first shepard has been through mindior and akuze, i think he deserves some happyness... my second spacer/war hero shepard on the other hand... stupid self-sacrificing paragon deserves to be blown up

Yeah, the abrupt tonal shift to "nope you're dying lol" was so awful because it conflicted with everything the series ever stood for.

It was for art, naturally.

Yeah! I wanted little babies running around in suits, fixing ****!
