Only an emo can't understand the difference between an unhappy ending and one that is just bad, regardless of it being unhappy.

In which case, they should include a razor blade, a pen and a piece of paper for a suicide note with the release of ME4. You know, for BioWare's new fanbase.

"Happy ending DLC"

What is this, Disney? Mass Effect is about the end of galactic civlisation, it's not supposed to have a happy ending. That was obvious to me playing the first game.

I agree with this so much. The moment I first seen Sovereign tearing through the fleet at the end of ME1, I knew there would be no happy endings. And, in my opinion, there shouldn't be one. I didn't want a rehash of Return of the Jedi's ending. An attempted extinction event is not something that the galaxy should be able to walk away from without heavy scars.

What a load of ****!!!
Sure, the moment I saw the Normandy kicking Sovereign's tushie into space at the end of ME1 or Shepard stepping out of the rubble like a BOSS I knew there would be no happy endings. [insert sarcasm]

I hoped for a plausable ending. Whether happy or not didn't matter to me.

Plausibility ftw!!!!

(That would start with the crucible, though. So it would require quite the massive over-haul )

Personally I thought the original endings were pretty "happy" my main concern was the fate of my crew who even before the EC were shown to alive and smiling on the "new eden" planet

HAPPY ENDING: the reapers are dead, and life still thrives.

[archangel1996]

To me a happy ending is where my choice matters, where i see the Krogan, Geth, Asari, Quarian, Salarian, Turian, Elcor and Hanar fighting together
Where my Shepard gets what he ****ing deserves and not 3 colors who pretty much screw everything

[Killdren88]

A Ending that makes sense at least. And if you do not want this happy ending my suggestion would be to not to buy it.

This DLC wouldn't be free to own either. There obviously is a market for it. People will buy it.

People like me bought three games for the PC so we could experience MEHEM. Some people who do not have a PC with a Quad Core laying around cannot do this. They play on Consoles like the XBox 360 and the PS3. They do not have access to MEHEM.

If Bioware had made a version of MEHEM for the XBox 360 and PS3 I would have paid 500 MS points for it just because it would have made the entire series for me if I didn't have this PC laying around.

Happy ending?

One of the endings creates a galactic utopia, thats not happy enough for you?

OP, why not write your own fanfic happy ending for heaven sakes and call it a trilogy? It would be even less of a 'big deal' and be exactly the ending you want.

[De1ta G]

I don't understand what the big deal is about wanting this "happy ending".

That would cheapen the whole sense of reapers being unstoppable juggernauts that take a whole fleet to kill one

Yeah... because 1-shot-killing a destroyer with a cain doesn't do that...

I think the OP is just asking for it as an option, while leaving all the other endings intact.  That way if you're into doom and gloom, you can keep your ending, otherwise, the rest of us get what we want also, and everyone goes home happy.  Not an impossible thing for BW to do, just unlikely.

Exactly, thank you StoneSwords yes that is all I am asking for, exactly this.

Then and only then can we start talking about a ME4, fresh start, new protagonist, blah blah blah

Just add on the darn happy reunite ending bioware good lord!!!!

Sensible ending...do want. Happy, happy, sunshine ending...do not want.

^^ This. The ending's problem is not that it's too "dark". The problem is that it's badly written, nonsensical and altogether hackneyed.

[Jassu1979]

And no, I am not expecting Bioware to relent. They had their chance at putting things right, and they did not use it.

I still love the "Mass Effect" universe, and it pains me to see what became of it in the hands of Mac Walters and Casey Hudson. It's like the "Star Wars"-prequel-disaster, and apparently for the same reasons: too much power in the hands of too few parties involved in the creation.

I agree with you, and there is a market for it, and it would make Bioware money. Not everyone has a PC where they can have a happy ending. Some people have consoles. We never saw what the big deal was. Well, who knows? After all the official DLC is done, they might have mercy for the console people and make one. It won't be free either.

As much as I love the MEHEM and the work fans have done. It's not an interactive ending remaniscent of DA:O or ME2. The MEHEM is a cutscene that demonstrates two things. 1. The Cat really was unecessary, (and that whole kid thing going unexplained is just plain irritating). And 2. Shepard's survival bring's our protag, scuse me, OUR as in all our individual player protag's to the end of Shepard's trilogy, and gains something as a result.

Seeing Shepard put Anderson's name on the board after all the quintessential father/son esque bonding and guiding througout the trilogy makes an impact. As well as seeing our Shepard's sorrow at the loss of his or her mentor. In this way we, at least, get that sacrifice's were made and we see the fallout of the end of the war through our Shepard.

To kill Shepard is not a bad idea. Fluffing the preparation of the end game ala ME2 should result in death or greater casualties. But bringing everything to 100% readiness and going in and making all the right decsions should at the very least give Shepard a shot at living. It's an established precedent from ME2's suicide mission, live or die depending on past choices, that I hope BW will keep in mind as a great end game mechanic in it's future titles. For not only do we get to choose how we, the player, cause the story to unfold, but we also get to choose, through or past actions, how the story concludes. This give's us, the player, greater replayability in that we can go right back to the beginning and explore new path's in the game.

I wonder if bioware even realizes how much money they could make from such a dlc

They have to.  Half the posts on these forums are about how unsatisfied people are with the endings as they are.

They did. It's called the Extended Cut.

Nope, that was a re-clarification of their original ending.  That was never created to satisfy those who were upset with the original ending because they could not change the ending because that risked upsetting those who liked the original ending and setting a dangerous precedent that if enough upset fans got together they could force a company to change their story.

It was created in response to the fact that many were legitimately confused by the scenes in the original ending and interpretted it as 'Shepard blew up the entire galaxy' (based upon Arrival precendent and relays exploding).  It was created to satisfy the portion of the fanbase that found the original ending confusing, but generally accepted them (and didn't find fault with the starchild's logic, the forced trust of the starchild, etc.)

Unfortunetly, if we want anything different than the story that was originally authored, we'll have to resort to mods.  Bioware does not seem interested in alterative universe DLCs.

They did it in DA:O with the Darkspawn Chronicles, no reason they couldn't do something similar with ME 3.  I still don't think it's likely, but very possible
