Dark energy because it is actually plausible - it is already our problem, our universe is already expanding thanks to dark energy.

I think indoc is just a bull **** way to wash away the shotty ending

1. Modify the current ending into an indoctrination attempt/hallucination
2. Continue the fight on Earth against Harbinger
3. Give us a real ending where it's revealed the Reaper's function was to prevent the spread of Dark Energy
4. Give us choices that means a damn, and doesn't neccessarily include destruction of all Mass Relays
5. ?????
6. PROFIT! You've fixed the game and won back most of your fans.

Just add on to the ending via indoctrination and then have the real ending be the prevention of dark energy. Its as easy as that.

Without reading through the 8+ pages of replies, have to say the scrapped dark energy story line. At least that one was set up. I was anticipating that since both the quarians and Giana Parasini bring it up in Mass Effect 2. It's almost as if there was a complete disconnect during the story development phase of this game.

Dark energy storyline. It maintains coherence and faith with the story in ME2. IT drops that stuff as gruffly as did Bioware! That is not a good thing.

Give us the dark energy story. You don't introduce something like that and then just toss it to the wind...unless you are totally incompetent at storytelling.

That said, it isn't an either or choice.  You resuscitate the current CRAP ending by turning it into a hallucination, then you get to the REAL story involving dark energy.

Synthetics vs organics makes sense. But nix the kid, his logic made no sense.

Keep it simple. - The reapers raise us like crops and harvest us for fuel/energy/reproduction. Any rationale beyond that is unnecessary. You don't explain your intentions to your garden before you make a salad out of it.

Harvesting people to stop dark energy is FAR worse. Can you imagine that ending...

"We had to harvest you so we can put our minds together to figure out a way to stop global warming".

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

Or... you could just ask for our help.

Dark Energy, or just the harvesting thing we've got going.

Anything but Star Jar Binks.

Dark Energy still needs to be addressed but dealing with the IT is a better ending...... in theory! Maybe we'll get DLC and an expansion! Come on, you know you want it

Indoctrination theory is better, because it gives the possibility to retcon the disaster we have now. Dark Energy ending has the same value as current ending - it is poor and leaves you with a final choice where you don't really feel you've won.

Some time ago, I thought that a really decent ending where you decide to let the Reapers continue their harvesting would be my pick, but I've changed.

You see this incorrectly.  If they do dark energy, they RUN with something they introduced repeatedly in Me2.  Continuity.  You also setup for future Mass Effect games with or without Shepard.  You STILL can have the ME universe and galactic civilization working (if you don't bork your personal ending) and you save the franchise.

ME3 does NOT need to shut down the franchise.  It does NOT have to be THE end of all things Mass Effect.  It can be an ending that brings "closure" without bringing death and bleakness (No, closure doesn't = dead Shepard).  

With the correct ending I'd LIKE more ME games, and entire new ME series.  IT doesn't get you there unless it is used as a mere stepping stone to get past the current ending to a proper ending w/dark energy.

After reading Drew Karpyshyn's explanation of the original endings, I think I would prefer the Dark Energy endings.

Given Drew's explanation, Sovereign's quote, "we are each a nation, free of all weakness" and Harbinger's quote "We are your salvation through destruction," the Dark Energy ending really makes the most sense. It is, by far, the most cohesive with the rest of the trilogy.

It also explains the origin(s) of the Reapers.
