Also support Indoc theory if destroy ending doesn't actually effect the real world (of Mass Effect) that destroy simply allows you to break the indoctrination,

heres some good ideas:
1. If you choose destroy (red ending) you break indoctrination no side effects
2. Control or Synthesis ending, you wake up but your watching your body cutting through allied soldiers (Assuming Direct control) you then get Paragon or Renegade Prompts, to break the indoctrination:

Paragon Prompts: you beat up your LI a bit but are able to break indoc before killing them

Renegade Prompts: you break indoc just as you "Stick" your LI with an Omni Blade or equivalent.

Once indoc is Broken you either go straight to fighting Harbinger, or reunite with your friends from ME 1,2, and 3, then you take the fight to harbinger

Will say fleet should take Harbinger to ground and you have to fight a damaged harbinger.

I support hand held Thanix Cannon, or Multiple M-290 Cains

(I have submitted this idea to Suggested Changes thread but i may do so again)

The writers did not intend there to be a happy ending, so no, I do not support it. The only happiness I got out of the ending was that the Reapers were destroyed and that life continues, the life that I let survive through my choices. That's enough for me.

[Holoe4]

Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations...

[DoctorCrowtgamer]

I still don't know why having this as an option is bad and if Bioware wanted complete control over the narrative then they shouldn't have made the games about the players making choices and shaping the story.

Me! Me!

I like happy endings. If I wanted bleak and sorrowful tales, I'd just turn on the news, y'know?

Video games are my escape, they're like my happy place. If my happy place turns into my unhappy place then where the hell do I go?

And so many people died in ME 3, just so Shepard could do what needed to be done. To have Shepard die with everyone else at the end, I can understand why there are those who appreciate that situation, but I don't get why there are people who don't understand why I would like a happy ending.

this is exactly how i feel. my femshep and kaidan sitting the porch at his parents orchard talking, holding hands and having a nice drink<3<3:kissing:

hell yeah you got my support

You do know that the "writers and developers" did say that the fan base has 50% of the game, right? They said that they will listen to feedback and make the game better.

"That's enough for me" You? Sure, for you but not for us.

To those that are opposing this thread and saying "No to happy endings! Grrrr!!" I have this to say to you:

Why can't it be both? On a game that was built on consequences, why couldn't there be a Total Victory ending, a Bittersweet ending, and a Failed ending? I'm always shocked at how immature some of you can be when it deviates from your little idea of how things should be.

Mass Effect is about variety. It always has been. So to start barking at each other about what's wrong and what's right is silly. Those that oppose a happy ending, fine. But you don't need to dictate how it should be to others who might want one.

And for the record, BioWare, mark me down for a Total Epic Victory.

I would want the option to have a happy ending but make it the hardest to get

[Muffty_]

I too would like a happy ending and agree with Flyrdu and darkheartedmk 's posts.

I would love a return of the king kind of ending tying all those loose ends up
Coz to put it mildly, do the current endings inspire re-play value of the entire series ? i think not.

How can you have a happy ending though? Billions and billions of people died. Humans, Asari, Turian, Krogan, Salarian, you name it. It can't *truly* be a happy ending. Planets are ruined and crushed. They have to be rebuild. fleets repaired, bodies burried, cities rebuild. People won't be "happy" for years to come. Most likely a lot will die from starvation or sickness before they can rebuild that which was lost.

If you mean with a happy victory that you can be with your LI and that you survived (obviously) while partying with other survivors for a night before starting to rebuild, I'm entirely ok with that. Maybe get a few medals and hear crowds chant your name. Should be incredibly hard to get, but sure. Whatever. But in either case, the entire galaxy will be forced to rebuild and reoganise. Don't really see anything happy about that. No rainbows and unicorns, at least.

That could just be the cynic in me talking though. >.>

I support AndroLeonidas happy ending (from Liara Fan thread):

So you are saying no one who lived through WW2 went on to have a happy life and make the world a better place?  I guess I had my Grandparrents all wrong all these years,they always seemed happy and my one Grandfather nearly starved to death in a German POW camp.  It seems like he had a happy life after that what with getting married,becoming a respected princapal,and having seven kids and he always seemed happy but I guess he wasn't.  Thank you for opening my eyes.

Congratulations on entirely misunderstanding my post. If only I could have opened your eyes to the true meaning of my post and not a meaning that you read into it.

What I'm saying is that there is no magical "EVERYTHING IS FINE AND DANDY" button that spawns food, medical supplies and so forth.

But seriously, I really don't care what happened to your grandfather, even though WW2 was a horribly war and I mean no disrespect to the hardships endured by your grandfather, but it doesn't have anything to do with my point at all. I never said anybody that participated in the war or is a decendant of anyone that suffered through it, could not be happy. I never claimed people could not be happy. Your sad story isn't gonna change that you entirely missed what I'm trying to convey.

To rehash my point:

How do you mean happy ending? (The question in my first sentence in my original point could have been answered directly. I did like the "Hope" answer, though.)
I don't see how it can be "happy" considering the amount of losses and so forth. The only thing I can see as a "happy ending" is ending up with your LI standing on Earth (or another planet) trying to rebuild considering the universal damage done by the Reapers.
And the fact that I think "Total epic victory" is a bit hard to accomplish after so many planets have been mostly or entirely destroyed.

Edited to sound less condencending.

You're arguing over semantics.  If you really want to get into what a 'happy ending' really means,  I suggest we all enroll in a philosophy class.

[Rain Island]

Yes I want happy ending as an option.
And Happy ending does not mean Disney ending in which everything turns out perfectly. Happy ending just gives closure and hope to characters that we have grown to like.

I won't give them a cents! Clicky for laugh!

I'm just curious as to what you consider a happy ending. That's all.
You spiked my curiousity after your post. 
I'm merely sharing my view regarding a "happy ending" and trying to understand your point.

If you want, I can edit and flame you instead of being curious and trying to understand if that makes stuff easier.

I definitely want a happy ending as an option.

[masseffectfan94]

This is exactly what needs to happen.

[Bantz]

I want a happy ending that is really really hard to get. But I agree with the OP shep has earned the right to have a chance at a happy ending.

More then anything though I think we should have the OPTION for a happy ending (again being tough to obtain). Having all our "choices" be forced into bittersweet doesn't seem much choice to me. There should be an option for bad (reapers win haha @you) neutral (reapers lose but universe is totally decimated) or happy (blue babies/house on rannoch)

I fully agree with that. That is the purpose of having choices
