   (this is the youtube link for the podcast for the EC sit down with casey hudson)

i don't care for closure, i actually cried at the end of ME3...  not because of a lack of closure..... but because my ultimate hero died.....HORRIBLY.....PATHETICALLY....  

they gave us a component death!.... Red, Green, and Blue... vaporize, vaporize, blown up taking the Geth and possibly EDI with you (i made peace between the quarian's and the Geth, and in a seperate playthrough helped EDI and joker fall in love)  WHY must i kill them?  WHY MUST i (shepard, the ultimate hero) die in a game about free choices, hope, and survival against all odds!?

I'll play the EC.... and i'm betting i'll never play the series again.  I don't think Bioware is smart enough to redeem this game series.... or themselves... (at least the mass effect team)  i was one of their biggest fans promoting bioware, and Mass Effect (i work in a department store electronics department) to every customer who seemed interested in those type of games.  now... i'm having a heard time typing bioware or mass effect.

An optional happy ending will cover their asses and not break the story line, especially if shepard retires, what if s/he gets a bum leg?

Who here wants or still wants a happy ending from the game?  Whos wanted a happy ending since the beginning?

If by happy you mean - Shepard lives, companions live, reapers destroyed - then HELL YES!

Me. Not in the "beach party" sense but just a confirmation of my avatar's survival with a bit more than a vague 10 second cinematic.

Just getting up from the rubble, or one word on the radio with Hackett.

I wanted (and still want) options. I wanted to roleplay everything from complete and utter failure and Reapers win/Shepard dies, to success and victory with Shepard and crew alive and celebrating. Pretty much the same range of choice that we had at the end of ME2.

Yeah. Breath scene is too much of a cliffhanger for the end of the trilogy. Either he's alive or dead, just tell us.

To be honest I will take a Dragon Age 1 sad ending. The Warden died for a reason that I could understand, currently I cannot say the same for Shepard.

But see... that's not inevitable. You can live if you do certain things.

Anyway, I'm in the camp that will consider it a happy ending if Shepard gets reunited with his/her crew/LI. I'll even take a bittersweet "Shepard may be dead/missing, but look, Ashley is pregnant" ending. Just give us closure in that aspect. Don't leave us hanging like last time.

Happy would at least mitigate the utter disaster. I could probably move past the ridiculousness that is the Catalyst and our "options" if things at least worked out in the end. But they claim they were surprised that our reaction led to a negative position for the ME galaxy. Of course it did. You strand the Normandy, you destroy the foundation of the ME universe, and you force sacrifice the main character. Why wouldn't people think the worst?

I understand why some want a happy ending but I expected Shepard to die and would be happy with a dead Shepard, if some questions are answered

I was for ending since begining which doesn´t make you to need to eat whole tube of painkillers with bottle of jack as a result...

Otherwise look for DA:O ... good, bad, bittersweet endings ... doesnt matter which - but what´s matter is that you had a chance to pick

That's what I hoped for from the beginning. Obviously, a completely happy ending isn't possible since there's already been so much destruction and death during the game, but I expected to have the chance to end the game on as high a note as possible under the circumstances. Reapers destroyed (or at least driven away for another 50,000 years, giving the galaxy a chance to continue evolving and advance everyone's technology to the point where they'll be ready to face the Reapers the next time they invade), most of the characters we've grown to love over the last five years survive, the galaxy remains united after the war, everyone works together to rebuild, and Shep and his/her LI surviving and being together at the end.

Not a "unicorns farting rainbows" ending, but more a sense of accomplishment and relief. Like, "We actually did it. We stopped the Reapers and we're still alive." The galaxy's still a hell of a mess, there's still lost friends to mourn, but we can repair the damage and future generations will be free of the extinction cycle.

That's what I was expecting all along--the chance for this kind of outcome, if I put in the effort to unite the galaxy and made the right decisions along the way. Then the actual ending took all that away and pretty much destroyed the entire galaxy no matter what choices we made.

I don't play games to feel like I lost at the end, and that's exactly how I ended up feeling. Just...utterly defeated. :(

I never wanted for the ending to always be happy. If the ending had offered me three different ways for the galaxy to turn into a paradice, I would have been just as mad. But I think there should have been the choice for a good ending (where yes the galaxy may be in ruins, but there is hope), and a bad ending (where yes, the reapers have been defeated, but things still suck overall) and many more that are somewhere inbetween. I think something like that is a fair expectation for fans.

One thing you have to understand, is that happy endings are apparently not artistic enough. And that all the horrible stuff that happens throughout ME3, like genocide and mass slaughter of entire planets is not sad enough for Bioware, they also have to kill one of the best protagonists ever and not only that, but make Shepard uncharacteristically fail and give in to the Reapers at the end.

I wanted options, including the option to live.

I wanted good choices and being crazy-prepared to be rewarded.

As I've always said, I want a possibility for a happy ending as well as a bad one.

Whoa.  It sounds like you were looking for variety.  Didn't you see the artistry of giving you the same single ending and telling you it was different?
