I'm fine with it but I would like a chance to save him.
Would you be fine with Shepard dying?

No. It is all about CHOICE. He should have the OPTION to die, but if I want him to live and go and have creepy mutant babies with Tali on Rannoch, he should be able to.

I am fine with Shepard dying in some endings where your choices over the course of all three games dictate how it all ends. There should be the options (again, based on choice) though for "happy" endings or *a* "happy" ending where Shepard lives, reunites with his/her LI, etc.
Having Shepard die in 5 endings and "live" in one has obviously not bode well for BioWare and the community. And even then the difference between the 6 endings is whether the Reapers live or die, whether Earth is eradicated or not, and the colored explosions.

I think it should be possible for Shepard to live or die, and it should somehow be based on our choices, war assets, companions, whatever. Shouldn't be the same every time, either way.

Remember if you died in the final fight against the archdemon, you were somehow cured of death for the DLC.
it wasn't a random somehow. you made a deal a choice with someone to avoid death with the ArchDemon.

That is the way I feel. Though there should be an option to have him live or die based on choices and maybe war assets.

This.
Shepard should be able to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
He should be able to fail
He should be able to sacrifice others for the greater good.
He should be able to sacrifice both himself and others for the greater good.
He should be able to kick ass and come out on top.

There should be 1000's of possible outcomes like ME2.

And if you died... then you created a NEW warden for Awakening...an orlesian one that WAS NOT the Hero of Ferelden

I would be happy with one of the CHOICES available being Shepherd dying. But I don't think he should die no matter what. The less we're syphoned into the same endings the better.

I agree with this, though I might also add: "S/he should be able to flip off Cthulhukid in a futile gesture of defiance rather than submit".
Edit: To clarify a little - I'm fine with the idea of Sharpard as sacrifice. Hell, I thought Shepard was the Catalyst until the imaginary blue kid turned up. That kind of sacrifice would make total sense to me. I'd simply rather it wasn't the only option or, if it was, that it had been written a damn sight better than that... thing... at the end of my game.

I don't care if Shepard dies. I just want it to make some goddamn sense.
QFT, over and over again. I liked the idea (massive sacrifice), of the endings. It was the implementation that sucked...i.e: space magic and no explanation of certain stuff (Shep waking up in London and fates of squaddies).

If it was one of multiple options then sure. But I also want an option to save him. Dragon Age: Origins worked fine that way.

We have been told for many years that our choice's matter, so depending on our choice's in game there should be a few endings, a total bad end were every thing goes to hell and every one dies becuase of our choice's. but there should also be a ending if we did everything right we win, and shep lives maybe losing a arm or both legs or somthing but still alive and able to be with his/her lover
there should be endings that cover the middle ground as well

When I first got the game I was kindof expecting the stereotypical "Shep dies" ending so would have been [barely] OK with Shep dieing in all endings originally.
However I have changed my mind. I want all the divergent endings that BIoware promised us. I want to see one where Shep lives along with at least a few squadmates [maybe even a LI] and I alwo want to see endings where the Reapers win and the only hope is Liara's "message in the stars". I also want to see plenty of endings in between these extremes.
I want CHOICE to play a critical role every second during the endings. I want to be able to take part in writing my own ending so I want the above ending options to reflect the diversity I'm looking for.
Finally I want a kick-butt epilogue looking at 1 day after, 5 years after, 20 years after, 100 years after, and 50,000 years after so we can see the fates of our squad, Shep's legacy, and what happens to the races / civilizations / etc. that we care about and helped shape.

correct. Shepard can die in ME2 on the suicide mission so I am not sure what your point is. Yet he is the main character in ME3.Baronesa wrote...

I'm about to get all spiritual and existential on your asses so watch out.
The way I see it, Shepard - as Garrus put it- was born to do this. Shepard was born to fight the reapers. Her whole life was centered around preparing for this war. There is almost no part of shepard that was designed for living happily ever after.
Think of all of Shepard's supernatural abilities, those that go outside the scope of what is normal in the mass effect universe. Shepard heals and recovers unnaturally fast, is unnaturally resilient, and simply can't be kept down or stopped. When she is sedated with enough drugs to kill a horse, she still pushes through.
I see Shepard as this unstoppable force, destined to colide with this millenias-old evil force, and take it all crashing down with her. Shepard, for lack of a better term, is a Messiah here to deliver the galaxy from the greatest evil it has ever known. She has no place outside that conflict. She is the one that was born to destroy the reapers and save the galaxy. So it is right that she dies in the conflict.
But think of it this way. Would you rather Shepard simply die of old age? Just rotting in a bed waiting to die? Or would you rather he/she die standing and fighting to the last breath?
Basically the question is, is it better to burn out then to fade away? Shepard is a warrior and deserves a glorious death the likes of which could never be reproduced in a thousand lifetimes.

They didn't make Shepard sacrifice look heroic, it more like a person didn't want to die .... I would have said, whats point of killing shepard, then show stargrazer clip which takes place in future...shepard can die of old age ... stupid Bioware...endings didn't feel different...and we have no idea what impact it left to galaxy ... which was promised to us

Well as it stands, technically you already do have a choice about whether shepard lives or dies. My shepard lived.
