I don't think I would. Well, I dreamed about a happy ending before ME3 but not now. I like ME3 as it is. As for me happy end would turn ME3 into a fairy tale. As for the choices... The Reapers are too powerful. They leave no options.

Well with that argument there should only be a loose ending right?

Why? The Earth and the galaxy can be saved.

[AkiKishi]

Happy ? Sad ? Don't really care something that makes sense is all I require.

[Camthalon]

A "fairy tale" ending is impossible for ME3's storyline. Unless time travel is implemented.

Billions, if not trillions are dead. The galaxy is in flames. It will take decades if not centuries to truly rebuild.

My ideal "good" ending? Shep survives, the Reapers are destroyed, and s/he either retires to Earth/a colony/Rannoch/etc to help rebuild with the LI, retire and go into politics to lead/join a new Council/galactic government, or remain in the military.

I should not be hard to understand.

I'm not necessarily looking for a happy ending, I would just like more choices of how the game could have ended.

Destroying the Mass Relays in every scenario seemed counter - productive to the over all Mass Effect Universe. I thought uniting the galaxy so all the races could help defeat the Reapers and live in peace, was what my Shepard and her crew had been fighting for. Yes there's always been hard decisions to make in Mass Effect and not everyone has always survived, but hope of a better future has always been one of the driving forces in the game, but that all semed to be stripe away at the last moment. I don't mind that Shepard died, but the last 10 minutes of the game just made no sense to the rest of the story.    

I know some people who support the ending say it's a true reflection of the reality of death, but not everything in the world is full of darkness.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Mass Effect series, I love the universe that Bioware has created, I just wish the same level of thought that has gone into the series as a whole had been carried through to the ending as well.

I would love a "happy ending" as what came before in ME 1 & 2 as an additional ending.

I agree so much

[Estelindis]

If a happy ending could be written in a way that made sense logically, respected Shepard's character and the lore of the universe, and basically wasn't a total ass-pull, I would love it.

As much as it hurts me to say so, though, I'm not for a happy ending at the cost of those other factors. I would only want it if everything else could be achieved as well: logic, closure, and consistency.

EDIT: For the record, a "happy ending" is not a fairytale ending, as Camthalon so rightly points out.

I want the Chance, just the chance, to save the universe as it was, save my comrads, save my LI and Shepard. It shouldn't be easy to achieve, but it shouldn't be impossible either.

When you are at the end of the journey, Shepard sacrificed already a lot to get there.

Absolutely this.

[Edje Edgar]

The option wouldve been nice

[TheChris92]

It took one Grey Warden to stop a Blight in less than a year. It's ideal in a world of fiction that there will always be a way to defeat evil, but not without a cost. No matter what ending you choose in Origins there will be a price to pay, and I missed having the option in Mass Effect 3. This game is not a Disney Movie, because everyone won't be able to come out unscathed. Planets will fall to the Reapers, people will die. So, in the end it cannot be a truly happy-ever-after ending. It would still be great to have the option of Shepard surviving and reuniting with loved ones. A sort of redemption ending, where the civilizations of the galaxy can have a chance to rebuild and start over.

[muse108]

ME! I dont know I want to see my Shepard being able to walk off into the distance with my LI.

Bah, cant go into spoilers..... Just say I didnt want to have to commit genocide against a race that I had just reconciled and destroy some certain transportation devices.

I agree with this...

Though the "billions" of faceless people ain't price enough to pay. It moves me in no way, nor does it move most people. There has to be some other costs.

This, pretty much.

If Bioware REALLY wanted to be symbolic (which they did, but weren't quite able to pull it off for... well, you know the rest), they could always just destroy the Normandy (yes, once again) but make most of the squad survive somehow (escape pods?) (it IS a war, after all. Remember, "happy ending" and "fairytale ending" are not the same thing). Follow this by somebody (Hackett?) saying they won't be able to build a new anytime soon, say Shepard to say "I'm in no hurry."

In short: with the destruction of the "last" Normady, and with the Reapers defeated and humans left of their own evolutionary path, it's the end of Shepard's era. He retires (or died if you didn't have enough War Assets, ) and that's that.

I agree with this too.
it was posted above that Shepard deserves it.  
But I'd say that the other characters do as well.  Gosh, Kaidan has been through enough.  BAaT, feeling a freak/outsider his whole life, a strained relationship with his father, the loss of Shepard once and mourning her for 2 years, then finding she was alive but still separated from her.  He Finally found happiness for once in his life.  To only lose her again?  It seems cruel treatment of a character I love more than Shepard herself.  Particularly so for an ending that leaves the galaxy in a state little better off than if the Reapers won.

The only thing I can think of adding to this is a type of ending without the Reapers are not necessarily destroyed, but they leave as the reason for their harvesting is invalidated. Also, the ending could include Shepard, weary from war and all the psychological stress, retiring - never to return to any official duty.

[Getorex]

Dark endings with the hero all sacrificed is as cliche as the happy ending, thus there is no valid reason to leave out a happy-ish ending as one of many.

Yes, I DO want and ending that at least SUGGESTS that Shepard lived AND is able to join his LI and friends. That it is entirely in the realm of possibility that Garrus and Shepard can and do get together in a bar for a drink...not in some Turian heaven but in the real (ME) world ala the last conversation with Garrus before the end.

You don't even have to show it explicitly to do OK by me, you just have to suggest it and ALLOW it to be conceivable. The current ending (singular) doesn't even allow for the possibility, at all, of such a reunion and get-together. They FORBID you even being able to imagine it! WTF?

[BiancoAngelo7]

After everything we did and went through, after all the choices and after all the different ways we could have fu**ed up the galaxy, we DESERVE a happy ending.

It is not "artistic" to make every ending a sad one. That is just following a fad that other people with less artistic creativity and integrity have set.

I am the consumer. I am the one that must be satisfied. Not their whimsical desire to be seen as "artistic".

You can see the contortions they go through to try and be edgy and "artistic" (meh) by making Shepard have to die in both the control AND synthesis ending...why?  Well, just because.  There's no objective, logical reason why either choice just MUST kill Shepard, it was just a pre-ordained decision that SHEPARD MUST DIE! so they just kinda stuck Shepard death in there like a barnacle. Hell, for synthesis in particular, all that needed to happen was the little tyke extend his hand with a cotton-tip swab on it and do a quick swipe of Shepard's mouth.  Ta-da!  Anticlimactic but all that was necessary to do a "synthesis".  Swab, drop swab into plastic baggy, shuffle off to the side and drop it in a hopper...synthesis.  Shepard looks around, says "Uhhh.  Guess that's it?  Nice meeting you kid."  Awkward pause, then the classic Shepard statement, "I should go."  Shepard leaves and joins his crew and LI.  The end.

Of course, the ENTIRE ending is a barnacle on the ass of the game so...par for the course.

Yes please. I would like a happy ending option.
