There is no true happy golden ending for ME3, some people still die no matter what you do, besides I want to earn a better ending, It wont be bunnies and sunshine perfect mainly cause unlike ME2 suicide mission I cant save them all this time. ME1 wasnt even a true Disney ending, still lost a valued crewmate.

Thane, Tali if you dont have enough rep and/or background from ME2, Grunt w/ no loyal stuff, Samera if you dont stop her. Miri if you dont warn her about Cereal man. Ground crew in final run without enough EMS. Jack if you dont go to Grissom in time. Legion reguardless of how the war plays out. Ash or Kai depending on ME1. Conrad if you dont do Jenna sidequest in ME1.

Even at best you will get a bittersweet ending esp if Wrex and some others died with Hammer. Dont know yet cause NO CLOSURE ATM.

Esp if your going in with a fresh Shep with no ME1 or 2 stuff.

Crowd? More like, clique.

Sheesh... all these threads. lol... We didn't see the actual ending yet folks, I know shocking right? Wait until we get the next DLC that contrinues Sheps story and stop running around with your hair on fire wanting the DEVs to give you the rest of the story before they release it.

personally i would like a happy ending, but not at the expense of the ones we have....what we need is proper choice for the endings...not the limited choices we have now...which are all the damn same

I would like a better ending as i got the most horrible one. Yes I would like a happy ending but lets see what they come up with. I have a hard time invisioning the mass effect series going on without Shepard but then I didnt watch the Star Trek movie where spock died until the new one came out where hre was reborn. then i watched it.

In a game based on choice people should have  the option of a happy ending ...along with a  grim dark hipster ending if that's your thing.

It doesn't have to be Cinderella happy, but a Deep Impact-esque ending would be better.

[AlanC9]

Nobody should care much  if they make a DLC that  you don't want. I didn't want a Prothean squadmate, and I don't have to have one.

I just don't want Bio to make an ending DLC pack with a Disney ending bundled together with improvements to the existing endings. Then I have to get stuff I don't want to get the stuff I do want.

This makes no sense. A happy ending we can choose must necessarily come at the expense of the unhappy endings.

[BatmanPWNS]

I agree. Give a proper closure with the DLC. But no way do I want them to add "Shep and friends live happily ever" after ending.

Ever thought that maybe the ending is obscure and ambiguous on purpose?

obscure and ambiguous is fine... this was not obscure or ambiguous... it does not take a mental giant to follow what they gave us and compare it to every other thing we've read or heard about mass effect since the first book and game... I have so many problems with this game ranging from the lack of rpg element, to plot-hole riddled nonsensical illogical ending... In my honest opinion (which is probably crap) they can't fix this ending with dlc, and I'd rather them not even bother.

Personally, my ME 3 ends after the illusive man shoots himself in the head and admiral hacket states that the catalyst is not working. Shepard bleedsout and the reapers win. On to the next cycle.

Adding a Disney Movie ending just to please a bunch of whiners would be a huge disappointment in my opinion. I hope Bioware has the guts to stand behind their original game design.

People want the option for a happy ending. After that amount of time, money, and effort that they put into this trilogy, it isn't down to you to deny that to them. 

Mass Effect is supposed to be about building your own narrative.

As long as you don't have to play through it why on earth would you care?

 I think I'm just going to ignore people who dont even pay attention.

You can also just refuse to make any of the choices in the endgame. Wait long enough and the Crucible is destroyed.

And giving the players the option of having a happy ending is bad how? If the DLC contains additional endings everybody can get a satisfying ending - the pro-ender's can keep the current, more clarified ending, while those of us who are vehemently opposed to the default endings have an opportunity to pursue an option that may offer greater satisfaction.

How do I end up with a tragic ending if Shepard can avoid it? Do I deliberately have him make stupid choices?

I wasn't expecting a happy ending.

I would like a bittersweet ending at least.

And for the record, with the inferred holocausts about, ME3's ending as-is is not bittersweet by any measure.

THis will be the third time i've responded to you explaining metagaming vs Roleplaying.
This will probably be the 3rd time you've ignored my response.
If your metagaming an RPG that is your own fault.

Agreed, which was pretty much the problem with ME2, the only way to lose half your crew was to intentionally make bad choices (although there is a certain amount of perverse satisfaction in sending someone completely inappropriate to go through the pipes).

No, you make the choices the game already offers you. If the current choices seem stupid, then hey, perhaps they are. 

But alas, roleplaying and meta-gaming rarely mix.

I don't mind a bittersweet ending.

As long as they don't forget the sweet part.

Congragulations OP, you managed to totally miss the point of the movement.

They never mix.
Metagaming is the very oposite of roleplaying because your taking yourself out of the game to get the best outcome.
The second you do that and your no longer roleplaying.  If just knowing a happy ending exist is enough to ruin the entire game than you were never roleplaying shepard and were metagaming everything.
I don't purposely pick bad decisions.   I pick the decision based on what my shepard's personality.
Someone brought up the end to ME2.  I lost people in my first playthrough not on purpose.  My original shepard hated Jack.
Its roleplaying if Jack dies because Shepard ignored her.
its Metagaming if I decided it would be funny to put her in a place i know she would die from.

I think you missed my point. Since I'm RPing Shepard, he's not going to deliberately choose the tragic ending. That's kind of the point of a tragic ending, you know.

Only a metagamer will ever see a tragic ending if the game makes happy endings available. Unless the happy ending is almost unreachable for some reason, which I guess I could live with. Say, if the happy ending requires so much EMS that you have to go along with the dalatrass' plan.

The point is that having the choice of a happy ending makes the tragic ending unavailable
