 Simple paragon ending. 

Shepard Lives, reapers defeated by conventional means, Geth/ EDI lives, Shepard walks off into the sunset with love interest.

Is this basicly what we all want?

I want this to be an option.

I would like the possibility to get an ending like that, yes.

I like the sad yet hopeful theme of the EC endings, but I'd still like a happier one as much as anyone else.

You know someone, somewhere will come in and complain that you're too immature to handle the ending.

I would want that though, I'd be lying if I said I didn't.

Yes, and at this point, sadly, I would pay for and/or play MP for this option

Sure; this should come at some negative to balance it out though, like having massive fleet casualties or having to sacrifice a squadmate or something. It should also require like 5000 EMS or something.

Basically what I really want though is some kind of expansion of the Shepard living scenario, because what we have now doesn't do it for me.

Oh yes there would have to be sacrefices. Its just the simplicity of the rest.

I mean look at the refusal ending. Why can't we have that in the refusal ending, but if you're readiness is too low you get the current refusal ending.

I wouldn't. Not one big fat happy ending at least. I wouldn't be able to buy it at all. The fact that I had to choose between saving Shepard and saving the synthetics made the destroy option that much harder and more meaningful. There has to be a downside that has not already occurred, like the deaths of Mordin and Thane.

Shepard reuninting with his/her main squeeze? **** yeah! But I should be able to feel that that happiness came at a price.

I guess, but I'm someone who won't waver on the conventional methods thing... just not possible. I have no problem with what we got. A bittersweet victory is something I didn't like at first, but now I really like. It's far more interesting that way to me... don't take this as a comment against the OP or any posters above, but a lot of people in general don't seem to be able to live with a consequence. Sometimes, you can't have everything. The third game is a war story afterall, and while from a "game" perspective it makes sense that this ideal outcome would be possible, it kind of diminishes what they were going for.

At the very least, I can respect what they were going for. I think that's why I ended up satisfied.

no, it would cheapen the reapers and the game. The whole trilogy would just end like any other video game...

without sacrifice there is no sense of accomplishment.

Curing the genophage would not have had the same emotional effect without Mordin dieing.

the same with Kai Leng and Thane.

I would like it but then having an ending like that will ruin Bioware's Art. Especially Synthesis the "Best ending"

it sounds good like typical epic but then means reapers had to weaker ... Bioware made them so powerful that they forgot to mentioned more facts during final battle, how much losses and how many reapers that victory fleet had to fight, from the looks from new cutscenes, the fleet was already almost wiped out and looks like they took a lot of reapers as well but it was not GOOD ENOUGH! The problem which is making people upset is Bioware's execution wasnt done properly to address such issues and make people understand the importance of such dire situation!

This would actually mean something if we hadn't 5 minutes before watched the sacrifice of Anderson to make sure that the Reapers were stopped.  Got the personal-level sacrifice for sense of accomplishment already, thanks.

Should have been an option for the WILDY different endings, but with that plot device they went with it was a no go.  I thought the game was bult around that....guess not.  

Also synthesis is Space aids, it was a trap.

As I said it don't have to be that simple. If the fleet has to defeat the reapers then the fleet takes heavy hits. Maybe even Hackett dies. Thats pretty sacreficial but a whole race is just too much including edi

Reapers were already cheapened. As for the game... well I just won't go there.

I'm basically alright with OP. But I don't really care anymore so I'm alright with a lot of things.

Better to just let it slip away and not think of what could have been.

Yes, of course I'd want this to be a possible ending. There's nothing childish or immature about wanting a happy ending (maturity is more about dealing with what you get instead and also being willing to point out that what you get isn't what you wanted without caring what other people might think about that).

I also want a Scooby Doo ending.

I'm just asking this to facilitate discussion, so I'm not trying to pour salt on the wound or anything (my that sounds ominous...).


I see your opinion come up, and I often state my opinion and perspective.  I want to try something a bit different.  Many feel "why can't we have that in the refusal ending?"

Which is a fair enough point.  The writers/designers could have easily allowed that to be an option (what happens in the game is literally whatever they put in).


Just to be direct though:  Why should this be an option for the refusal ending.  Or even more generally, why should there be an ending that contains the following:

Shepard Lives, reapers defeated by conventional means, Geth/ EDI lives, Shepard walks off into the sunset with love interest.


I'm just asking to hear your thoughts on the subject.  Open question to others that feel the same way.

Afraid not. I have no interest in that. I think Reject is basically fine as it is (though I wouldn't object to a little more exposition and/or losing-the-war footage for those who feel it's their most acceptable choice).
