So, it's been a while since MEHEM has been introduced.

Personally I think it's made with care and perfection, though the contrast with original endings makes me realize why they were actually quite good. You can't eat a cookie and still have the cookie.
HE - good and comforting as it is - lacks climax. However, it leves one message behind the series intact: our strenght resulted from unity despite differences.
To me it was the core credo of ME until the original endings, which - all in some way, and most probably unintentionally - invalidated it (they're dangerous, let's leave them / we're polite as long there's dictator around / differences? what differences?).

The only problem for me now is the lack of canon ending which could be used as a start point to new storylines.

I generally think it improves it tenfold as it removes all the problems the original ending had all-together.

Hi, BioWare. Dear sir/madam,
I am a game player from Dalian, China, and I’m a real big fan of your Mass Effect Trilogy.
Just recently, I downloaded your MEHEM’s “Mass Effect 3 Happy Ending” Mod, I played it through, and I have some thoughts… I’m not sure how much impact it will have on the further development of the Game’s ending, but I’m gonna give it a shot anyway.
I noticed that you have improved the ending. I liked it, but I still think it’s too messy. The music is the best with Mass Effect II’s OST:“Suicide Mission”, but the dialogue and the movie cut scenes? The cut scenes were .bik movie file clips from Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. I played through the trilogy dozens of times, so believe me, I know. And the dialogues were extracted from the conversations before, and they are not really matching their real talks. Not that I’m complaining, but I’m wondering… the Mod was good, and I enjoyed watching Shepard rejoining with his paramour (I play with male only. No offence), but it was still too… player-made-montage like. Could you make it into a more BioWare Original-like Downloadable Content? If there is a new release and is free then excellent, if it’s not, I’m sure that we are willing to pay for a BioWare-Originated copy of a Happy Ending DLC.
And the Memorial Wall scene? If it REALLY IS a happy ending, does Anderson really need to die? What if… a stray cannon hit the Citadel and the concussion temporarily disrupted the Illusive Man’s control, and Shepard uses the momentary release and disables him and takes him alive into custody, and later Anderson Joins in the Celebration?
And more from the Wall Scene - why is it that only squadmates from ME3 get to stand before the Wall? Shouldn’t survivors from ME2 and ME1 stand there as well? Like Miranda, Jacob, Grunt, Jack, Kasumi, Zaeed, Samara, Wrex, Kirrahe, and others? And Shepard’s scars and blood really need to be removed.
Also, the Crucible Beam shot from the Citadel: I once thought that you are making it a different color… but I see only the reddish “Destroy-All-Synthetic-Life” beam. And if my suggestions worked and the Mass Effect team commences the new ending DLC, could you make the color a new one, like light goldish-yellow, or pure white color that upgrades the Reapers to help reconstructing the Galaxy and help them beyond? I see clips from my websites that someone faked a purple beam color ending with only some conventional junior-grade software like Adobe… Sure this is no problem with the ME Team then?
Also, I think a new extra pieces need to be installed. If after the mourning, I think Shepard deserves a celebration with all his crew and ex-crew. As he promised Dr. Chakwas to share a bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy with the victory over the Reapers, given his survival and reuniting with his crew, he really should have the drink, along with all that fought with him! Right?
And for the Conduit Rush scene… you can add the Mass Effect 2: Combat: Infiltration soundtrack into this scene. Since it appeared only twice in the game, why not try to make it thrice?
Last but not least, a new departure scene should be created. I believe a “Normandy SR-2 Flying across the Starry Universe, then Activates the FTL Drive and Disappears into the Void” scene will be excellent!
That’s all the new ideas my brainiac, somewhat child-like mind can think of… I really, REALLY hope that you can take my advice and create a new refined and perfected ending. But If it doesn’t work… well, at least I tried. Thank you.
 
P.S. My imagination is pretty wild, and somewhat off the charts, which may be useful in game story developing. If you’d like to contact me for more ideas, please email me – I’ll see what I can do.

@3781 This is just a BioWare hosted forum. Apart from some occasional moderation BioWare are not really here. Even if they were MEHEM is not BioWare's work but is a fan made modification.

If it looks like a player made montage reusing bits from ME2 & 3 because that's pretty much what it what it had to be. BioWare steadfastly refused to deviate from their multi-coloured misery endings and would only expand on them in the EC DLC to make them make a bit more sense, so there was simply no other option. They've vetoed a happy ending, full stop, end of line, so asking for things like colour changes of beams, alterations to the wall scene and so on just isn't going to happen. The people/person who did MEHEM can't add anything new without BioWare making something else, and if BioWare were going to do that there wouldn't be a need for MEHEM in the first place.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that's how it is. Personally I'm all for sad endings if they make some kind of sense and would have been fine if ME3 had been something like Outlaws Of The Marsh with a successful and maybe semi-retired Shepard ultimately betrayed. Would have loved something like that. I haven't seen MEHEM so I don't know how close that gets.

Edited to add: Ah, not very. No surprise, I can't imagine where the vid and sounds could possibly have come from for anything like that.

It's alright. I knew it would not work but thanks anyway. It was only a mere suggesstion. Nothing more. Just some wild ideas I put up. If it doesn't work then so be it.
Thanks again for the Happy Ending Mod!
