I wasn't expecting one, i figured the most obvious of choices would be Shepard has to die for everyone to live or sacrificing every race to leave humanity untouched or something...having a "perfect" ending wouldn't be right as the choices are supposed to be tough but at the very least an ending where you "win"

I didn't want to read through 3 pages, so I appologize if this may have already been said.
I wanted a sad ending. What really bothered me about the endings was the fact that they trivialized the reapers. I made a topic about it here and a few others claimed to agree with me. It was something of a catharsis.

I did not expect a happy ending, I expected their to be great loss and even if my Shepard and his LI made it out of the war alive and defeated the reapers, I thought the great deal of loss would bring the tone of the ending down still. In all honesty I expected my cannon (also my first play through Shep) Shepard to die for the greater good and I would have been fine with that

[Neeh]

Even with a "happy" ending the galaxy is still on fire. Billions dead, planets ruined and so on.

I think my gripe is the lack of possibilites. If you want a bittersweet hero sacrefice you should be able to get that, and you should be able to have the hero survive, if that's what you're after.

While reading through the numerous ending threads I have read a thousand times people saying they did not expect a happy ending. Because of this I have an honest question.

How many of you seriously did not expect a happy ending?

I would think that everyone who had played Mass Effect was
expecting to able to choose no?

Maybe your choices throughout the
series and at the end wouldn't have led to a happy ending but did you
honestly expect there not to be an option for one?

I expected a happy, yet somewhat bittersweet CONCLUSION.

Silly me, I actually did expect to get a better ending than the guy who got his whole team killed in ME2, skipped all sidequests, failed at geth/quarian peace, etc.

Guess that was apparently too much for Bioware to be able to implement. Even after they said they would.

I expected Shepard to not survive in any case, but to have it forced so clumsily was beyond my imagination.

[Xerxes52]

I was expecting a Good (but costly) ending, several Mediocre endings, a couple Bad endings, and a "Reapers Win" ending.
I got Matrix Revolutions.

I expected a happy ending. I also expected an unhappy ending. And moderately-happy ending. And almost unhappy ending, too.

[KingG528]

I was expecting Shep to die a heros death while his crew and the galaxy went on to to enjoy a galaxy free from reaper control. Not having star child to come through my screen and smash my teeth in with a bottle of ryncol.

[Icesong]

I was hoping for it but I wasn't expecting it since authors seem to think happy endings are bad.

[Murrytmds]

I honestly didn't expect an ending where Shepard survived no. A range of endings going from complete and total failure to complete and total winning yes. But not for Shepard to be alive at the end no.

[Gorfimus]

One of the things I was preparing myself for was that Shepard was going to die no matter what, which constitutes not a "happy" ending in my eyes.

[FRancium]

I didn't really care if Shep died, if everyone died. I even would have no problem if I only got 1 ending.

The ending was terrible because it gave the players a fake dilemma to choose from. So my choices didn't matter. I elaborated here: http://social.biowar...9101/1#10169331 (but everyone ignored me)

I was expecting to have a range of options. There were a lot of sad moments throughout, but I thought that there would be endings where Shep survived, where he died, where everyone died, etc., all depending on what you did. Happy to sad to downright bleak. Not just bleak + bleak + bleak.

I've honestly grown tired of the bittersweet "Hero has to sacrifice everything to make everyone else happy" endings, though. They're as cliche and overused as a lot of people make happy endings out to be.

I expected Shepard would die, it's entirely in Shepards character to embrace self-sacrifice, but I didn't expect the ending to be so weak and poorly written.

Just look at the ending of Gladiator, the hero dies but the ending is beautifully executed. If I remember correctly it ends with the Emperors sister telling them to honour him.

[Leeloo Multipass]

I expected people to die of course. I figured the Earth would be left in shambles.

I truly expected an ending choice like Dragon Age: Origins. I thought I would be able to choose between sacrificing myself, having my LI do something to sacrifice himself to save me, or do some extra bit of gameplay to avoid it entirely. Something along those lines anyways...

[The Final Few]

I was expecting an ending where I knew Shephard saved the galaxy from the Reapers indefinitely. As Shephard, I was planning on doing whatever I had to do in ME3 to save the galaxy, even if it meant killing Garrus. That would have been tough though.

[retailavenger85]

I wasn't expecting a happy ending at first, when I started the game, I had an idea that Bioware might make the noble sacrifice an option. But the way the conversations with my LI went, especially towards the end, I really didn't think Bioware would force that on me.

For clarification, I romanced Kaidan, and that whole story line is about regaining trust, and getting over abandonment issues, even since the first game. Basically the last thing he says to you before the final push in London is "I can't lose you again."
After that, I was completely convinced that I had worked hard enough to earn a happy ending with him. (3 100% completed games, 100% War Assets). When I got the Shepard in rubble ending, and Kaidan walked out on another planet, I was speechless for a hour.

It just seemed like an unnecessary player punch. They let me build up hope, then kicked it out from underneath me. If they were going for an emotional response, they sure got it, but not in the way I think they wanted. It just felt cheap to me.

But yeah, I wanted my happy ending.
