To me the tone is irrelevant. As long as it made sense and fit the narrative I would have been happy regardless of whether he/she lived or died. If the EC can do that, then that would make the endings much more palatable for me.
But I think I may have better odds teaching a kitten to cartwheel.
What would it take for YOU accept the endings as they are?

For me, if The Catalyst wasn't a boy wearing a hoodie, with a god-awful voice actor.
If it was like Vigil I think I could have digested the awful choices more...it seems wrong for the Reapers to be this little kids play thing.
For me too.

I highly doubt that anything apart from a complete retcon or continuation through IT could make me accept it... There is no way to clean that mess up through clarification, that's for sure...

The same stuff the writers were smoking.

EC = Explanations & Consequences.
I could live with what we have (most likely the reality of the situation) if there was an explanation of what the bosh'tet just happened and why, and what the consequences were for the galaxy and characters we grew to care about.

I agree.
As in another post in this thread, I think I could add to the list "being able to see my crew and other important figures post-choice".
Like being able to see the squad, Hackett, maybe the council etc. This game deserved a flushed out LOTR ending, not some cop-out to buy more DLC...

As they are, without more exposition? No chance of that at all.
The final choice is ok. I just want the situation explained in a way that I don't feel like an idiot when I accept the Catalyst's reasoning, I want an option to not destroy galactic civilization, and a prospect for the Normandy to get rescued in the "good" endings where Earth is ok. With that, I could've lived with the lack of closure and the feeling that my choices don't matter, since at least things wouldn't have been as depressing.
That's why I think the EC can fix things.
Ah....but only if NO INDOCTRINATION. If they implement that I'm going to ritually burn my ME3 disks and never touch anything Mass Effect again.

That's what I'd do for a klondike bar. I'd accept them as is.

As they are nothing, those endings are irredeemable.
Add an option to kill reapers without destroying all synthetics, an epilogue that shows the ramification of my choices, and let me know what happened to my former crew and I'll be pleased as punch.

The Star Child is a difficult pill to swallow, but I've seen stupider things in games and let them off. I'm content to relegate ME 3 to the pile of 'good games with terrible endings' that I've been building for years.
In order to even qualify for that pile, however, they need to fix the editing problem and explain the whole Normandy fiasco. That entire part of the ending was edited badly, poorly conceived, more poorly implemented, and just generally terrible.
They can leave the Crucible section. It's such a perfect storm of BS that I almost want them to leave it untouched as a monument to future generations.

The EC would have to be a stellar success and it would have to show me the next ME game will be completely awesome.

Reuniting with the crew and LI.
Only because I'm such a softie and willing to forgive many things.
^^For many this is the taboo and quite silly, therefor I support the Taboo!

It is ridiculous how much I would ignore in the rest of the ending if Shepard survives with LI and friends.
This. Bioware, if you want to do the space magic, do it right and conjure a happy end. Otherwise, I am afraid you will actually have to use some logic and common sense

- Make the Catalyst something other than the leader of the Reapers.
- Remove and replace the Normandy scene.
- Let the Geth and EDI live in destroy.
- Preserve the mass relays.
With these things I would.... tolerate the endings, at least.

Get rid of the Catalyst. He adds nothing, is not needed and creates far too many problems.
End with Shepard and Anderson, then show me the consequences of my decisions throughout the trilogy. Have an option if I've been very, very good to reunite with my LI and for the love of God get rid of the Normandy scene. Joker and my crew are not cowards, they would not have run.
Only this lot will get me to accept the ending. I can forgive the other problems the game has, just fix the ending.

Not to be chasing the damn kid in your dreams, but instead the casualty on Virmire. Make the catalyst NOT a child because it makes the reapers seem like a child's misguided attept to do good by killing billions of people every 50,000 years. Also have the option for the catalyst to just shut the repaers down if certain conditions are met (like having every race avilable for the final battle.) and leaving the galaxy as it is.
