I chose for my character to sacrifice himself in DA: Origins. It was a good ending, but it wasn't the only ending...

[WarFighter]

If there is an option that he could die then he should die guns blazing. Without destroying the mass relays (the citadel is optional).

[Dark Specie]

I dislike the idea of his/her death being a must. I think his/her death should be a possibility IF you don't have enough war Assets and/or fulfiled certain conditions. But being a must? Nay. DAO was excellent in this regard - you didn't HAVE to sacrifie your life as such, even if it was undoubtedly the more heroic option there.

Edit: And, I'd like more than a vauge "breath scene" to show him/her being alive (I want my sShep to find peace together with Liara and a lot of blue babies, darn it!)

I would be fine with it if it made sence and if it wasnt for nothing ,
that said i dont think he/she dieing is the ONLY way to a ending
that makes as much sence as the ending itself.

[Simotech]

No. >

[ergonomalous]

no.

I killed off my warden in DA:O. I just want a choice in the matter. you know, like we were promised.

If his sacrifice resulted in an ending better than the one we saw?

Personally, I think having Shepard die to save galactic civilization and stop the Reapers would've been a better way to have a "bittersweet" ending.

I think it worked well in Dragon Age:Origins with the Ultimate Sacrifice ending so I think if we had an ending that was otherwise happy with Shepard dying then that would be a good way to conclude it, especially since this is the last Mass Effect game with Commander Shepard.

It's hard for me to accept the ending without a "Shepard lives" option. His mandatory death doesn't contribute to the sense of triumph I should be feeling. 

[nomoredruggs]

In DA:O it worked well because you DIDN'T HAVE to die. So choosing to sacrifice your Warden, really did feel like a sacrifice to the player, because it was an outcome of player choice.

I felt that the ultimate sacrifice was a very satisfying ending for my human noble, but so was going off with Alistair with my elf mage.

I would appreciate something like that in ME3.

Also, the fact that this is the last ME with commander Shepard, doesn't equal commander Shepard has to die.

That said, I suppose if they had implemented it right then it would have felt bittersweet, even with Shepard dying. But it would still be forced, if atleast more cathartic than what we got.

[anlk92]

Given how the story progressed throughout ME3, I think a Shepard dies ending would be suitable, but a Shepard dies because Starchild told him so ending, not so much.

Still I believe a game like Mass Effect should account for all cases. And both of the options should be executed properly. If Shepard can survive in one ending, do it through a proper cutscene, don't give people a 2 second breathing scene that doesn't even make sense.

[Razith]

Yes, but as long as he/she doesn't die stepping into a plot hole.

[Marconius425]

I think it was clear that Shepard's dying was a possibility, and furthermore, she was willing to die IF it was necessary to save Earth. What I was NOT fine with was the destruction of the mass relays, obliteration of nearby planets, starvation, etc - regardless of whether Shepard lives or dies.

[Taleroth]

Shepard dying for poor reasons is less than optimal. But it is acceptable.

Optimal is a variety of outcomes. Shepard should be allowed to try to live. My Shepard was allowed to make promises he was not allowed to attempt to uphold.

I would like it to be optional. Personally, no, I wouldn't be fine. It would be sad, but, if it made sense it would satisfy me.

I don't care if Shepard dies. I just want it to make some goddamn sense.

I DO care if Shepard dies...but I also understand that sometimes, the only way to close the gates of Hell is to send a righteous man through them to pull them closed behind him.  So does my Shepard.  I'd prefer if Shepard's life or death was not a wheel choice, but the sum of your choices...like PR promised before the release.

Do I want Shepard to live?  Of course.  I want Anderson, Tali, Garrus, Jack...ALL of them to live, even Javik.  But if their fall makes the tale better, more true?  Then let them die like gods.

[Sepharih]

Shepard dying is the LEAST of the problems in the endings as they stand.

Like I've said before, I won't deny that part of me wants to see my Shepard with Tali gazing off into the sunset on Rannoch from the house they've built together....but I also will admit that *that* is where I start to go into rainbows and unicorns territory rather than asking "what makes for a better story here".
I can live with Shepard dying if Bioware is commited to something bittersweet....but his death needs to actually mean something that's consistent with the themes of the series.

[JasonSovereign]

I want to be ABLE to pick if he dies, and it has to make good sense for me to let shepard die, real good sense.

[Iwillbeback]

WE NEED MULTIPLE DIVERSE ENDINGS THAT REFLECT OUR DECISIONS THROUGHOUT THE THREE GAMES.


Stop with this nonsense

[VelvetStraitjacket]

No, I don't want Shepard to die.

[knightnblu]

I have no problem with Shepard yielding his life to save others. That was what he was fighting for. He fought to save Earth. He fought to save Palaven. He fought to save Thessia. He was fighting for all the peoples of the galaxy and he even said as much when he gave the pep talk to his team on Earth.

For him to just tell the King of the Reapers that he's o.k. with killing trillions is obscene. It betrays everything that Shepard has fought and spilled blood for and it is a 180 degree shift in his perspective. Further, he never even questions why it is necessary to fundamentally alter organic life in the manner dictated by the Reapers and that's another 180 degree shift in the perspective of the poster child for a better way.

Shepard's death is in vain because he destroys the very people he is trying to save. That's like saying we have to destroy the village to save it. That philosophy didn't make sense in Vietnam and it doesn't make any more sense today. Had Shepard's death been so that those innocents could live, I would be O.K. with it. But I also would not be against an ending where Shepard actually pulls it off one more time like he did at the Citadel in ME1.

Shepard is a survivor. He survived the Prothean beacon, he survived the attack on the Citadel by Sovereign, he was resurrected after the destruction of the Normandy SR-1, he survived combat with the Reaper on Tuchanka, and he survived combat with a Reaper on Rannoch while he was on foot. Shepard's history makes it theoretically possible that he could survive the destruction of the Reapers as well.

So my final answer to your question is yes, I am ok with Shepard dying to save others or having him barely survive as shown in one of the endings.

[ftbscreamer]

@OP

Yes he can die, depending on his actions, but I still need to be able to save him/her

well..as i recall in DAO...the sacrifice ending was an option..one of several.

so..I would like the option to sacrifice shep as well as save shep...gives me more fun and replayability

That's what I want to, the choice to save Shepard along with the galaxy.

[FlyinElk212]

ABSOLUTELY YES I would be okay with it. It would be selfish of us to claim "SHEPARD HAS TO _____!" for any part of Bioware's story.

I (and a lot of other fans) simply want the ending to reflect the quality of writing that was exhibited throughout the rest of the game...i.e., it makes sense, is compelling, and capitulates the themes presented within the trilogy. If Bioware believes Shepard has to die in order to do those 3 things, then so be it.

[Ravennus]

I would have been fine with it. I expected it, in a heroic fashion that meant I sacrificed myself for something worth while.

The endings did not provide that.

Even with edited endings, I'd be perfectly fine with my Shepard dying... but I DO think that if you played the games a certain way and made sure to get a huge amount of war assets (read: 98%+ of what was available) then you should have an option where he might potentially live.
