Shepard should have been killed off, but his sacrifice should have been meaningful.

[AresKeith]

Not in every ending, like the endings now with that tacked on breathe scene

They made Dragon Age: Origins. You could choose your warden's fate in the end. Some lived, some died.

Bioware can still retire Shepard. It is not necessary to kill off a character to end their story arc.

Oh yeah, Shepard should die, most definitely. After I found out what happens to Shepard in ME3, I practically fed him to Morinth.

Great way to go.

Both. The type of game Mass Effect should've been would have both. You do things X way, you live and walk into the sunset with your LI.

Or, you do things Y way, and you die. But you die in a blaze of glory. You don't surrender to the enemy, you don't do what they ask you to do, you take them out with you. Bittersweet.

Then there's the Z way. You die. Your LI dies, everyone dies. You've failed. Dooming the galaxy to the endless cycle. There might be hope later on, but for the moment the "Perfect Storm" passed and you dropped the ball fate handed you.

Or hell, there could be a Y2 way. You are too much of a coward to do what is needed, and pony up someone else. You lived, sure, but will Shepard get over forcing a possible friend just because you didn't have the guts?

I say no for many reasons starting with the fact that he's still alive. Also remember that he is imporant for many reasons but one being that he is basically the next step of evolution for organics and synthetics. This was one of the reasons the reapers wanted him and sent the collectors after him. It's also why the shepard recieves certain choices from the starchild in mass effect 3 like taking control of the reapers or sarcifing himself and using his body to create synthesis the next step in evolution for organics and synthetics basically the reason the reapers harvest organics in the first place so that one day they would create this.

So the fact that Shepard is special and not your normal human being that gives him better odds at surviving things that would kill most humans and if you remember what starchild tells Shepard about there never being peace in the universe espically between organics and synthetics and that the reapers are no longer the answer/solution is more reason for bringing back Shepard and keeping him alive since there's plenty more he can do since the reapers were t the end for him or his story but in fact just the beginning.

BTW to bad the illusive man died he really knew everything about the reapers and knew alot more then he let on and was right on about almost everything to bad. The technolgy used to bring back shepard was just like how the reapers made husks and other reapers so i bet ithe technolgy used on Shepard was borrowed from the reapers. Cerbreus has been studing technolgies from the protheans and reapers way before they brought back Shepard from the dead.

This ain't so far fetched and is in fact a possibility since others have learned and borrowed  technology from the reapers in the past. A good example is the technology that was  used to make grunt in mass effect 2 was supposedly from the collectors which you learn that the collectors do sometimes trade and usually trade technology in exchange for whatever they need or want.

Heroic death like we have now. Seriously, the (wo)man has been through enough. When you think about it, Shepard is a wreck.

Got all sorts of ancient Prothean stuff in his brain that makes him see weird visions.
Got buried in Reaper debris after the battle of the Citadel. Walked out of there with a limb.
Got KILLED by the Collectors.
Gets hurt around a million times throughout the games. It's a wonder Shepard can still walk.
Gets blown up by a Reaper laser at the end of the beam run. Can barely walk afterwards.

Seriously. I like the high-EMS destroy ending for my perfect playthroughs, but Shepard had been through enough.

It's their story not yours. Stick to fan fiction for your wish fulfillment.

[crimzontearz]

how about ****ing options like in DAO?

and yet she is right

oh and they marketed to me the story as mine AND they are refusing to tell me whether he lived or not...

but it's OK you are of the cool dark and edgy crowd

[WheatleyHQ]

Honestly I think he should've died. The death he got wasn't good, by any means, but a death would've been good for me.

And you fell for it? 

Ask a Renegade where their all human council is in ME2 or how they can continue to work with Cerberus in ME3 and have a galaxy with the Rachni exterminated without the Reapers pulling more of them out of their ass. They'll tell you how much ME was "their" story.

I'm not part of any "crowd", I just want a decent story regardless of it's tone and fact of the matter is that both ME2 and 3 are the lowest of the low of pulp schlock rubbish and not because you couldn't sip a magarita with your space waifu on the beach in the ending.

[clarkusdarkus]

No, as they killed him/her in ME2 then brought him/her back to life so they should just let us press start to continue instead

[Mcfly616]

Before release I, personally, thought he would die no matter what. (Pleasant surprise that he didn't)


I won't say he should or shouldn't. But it fits perfectly, and was pretty much expected. I dreaded it. Nobody wants one of their beloved characters to die. But that doesn't mean that its bad if they did.

[N7Infernox]

Shepard died in ME3. As in it's canon. There's no more "should" at this point.

As for whether or not it should have been unavoidable, I would like to think not.

Er, what? Nothing is heroic about the endings even with the EC.

But stupidly believing the starbrat is heroic... didn't you know that?!

Your world
My character
OUR story.

That's how role-playing games work. 

Give a player choice in a matter and they will expect to have a say in the fate of their character.

Both, But make it like the Vimire incident. Should the Victory Fleet waste its ships to rescue Shepard after Shepard and his squad plant the bomb? Or would Shepard and the squad stay behind and make sure that bomb goes off killing Harbringer or the Catalyst? Something like that maybe...

[ziyon conqueror]

I prefer Shepard to survive like many other sci-fi heroes

[NeroonWilliams]

The way I see it, the only way Shep should survive is if he takes a RENEGADE option that lets the galaxy burn.  The stakes are too high to allow it any other way.

[capn233]

It should depend on your prior choices.

[Natabre]

No, I don't want Shepard to die, not in my story anyways. There's already an ending for people who wants their Shepard to die, why can't we have our own too?
