In every poll I've seen where forum-goers are asked if they want the option to earn a happy ending, a solid majority has said yes. So, I wanted to see what people had in mind. I'm not asking if you think there should, or should not be a happy ending; I'm asking what you would want to happen if one were to be implemented via DLC.

Now, let's try to keep them limited in scope. The simpler it is, the less effort it would take to implement them. Minimal to no dialogue would probably be preferable, because that would require calling in VA's again. Maximal significance, maximal meaning conveyed in a minimal amount of time. I'm thinking somewhere around a 20-second scene which could be shown just as the credits music begins playing. Within similar constraints, what would you want to see?

An ending where the Reapers are destroyed without having to murder EDI or annihilate the Geth, and where galactic civilization doesn't collapse. I'd also like to see the star child get retconned to be an AI or a Reaper avatar.

I would appreciate a funeral for Shepard with Hackett, Wrex, VS, Liara, and the LI speaking. Something similar to the DAO funeral scene but better.

That's outside the scope of this topic... also spoilers. :whistle:

I'll try to give people a better idea what I mean with this topic. Describe the scene you would want to see as an "epilogue" for a particular LI, under circumstances where, in the ending, it's assumed they're both alive and together. Would it be Garrus at a bar? Describe it. Maximal meaning conveyed, in minimal time.

Example. My primary Shepard's LI was Tali. This is how I would picture it going down.

[SCENE]
[FADE FROM BLACK]
[START CREDITS MUSIC - FADE IN]

Camera looks out the doorway of what appears to be a pre-fabricated housing unit, not unlike those on Horizon in ME2. Seen through the open door, a dark-haired woman in a casual dress is leaning against the railing of a balcony with her back to the camera, looking out over the sea. Waves can be heard in the background. We don't recognize her. We can't see her face, but, seen from this angle, she could be human.

Shepard walks past the camera and out the door to stand beside her as the camera slowly pans inward. Without turning to face him, she takes her right hand off the railing and wraps it behind him. At this point, we see that this woman's hand has three fingers.

Shepard kisses the top of her head and stands beside her, looking out over the sea. His left hand comes to a rest on her left shoulder, the telltale glint of metal betraying the presence of a ring. We only ever see the back of her head.

[CUT TO BLACK]
[ROLL CREDITS]
[SCENE ENDS]

What would you want to see? Try playing the credits song while you write; it helps.

Sorry, would a moderator be willing to move this to the Character and Romance forum, please?
