 The Geth and EDI were not destroyed but the rubble seen remained

[CronoDragoon]

oh most definitely.

[HolyAvenger]

lol how is that anything but an unequivocal happy ending.

[d1ta]

The breath seen can be seen as Shepard dying but the tradeoff is the galaxt is saved

[Dr. Megaverse]

Not really. I just wanted my LI to pull me from the rubble. That's all I needed...

[Lost Mercenary]

No question. That would have been the perfect ending.

[CaIIisto]

Happier yes. not perfect though.

I hate the rubble scene. Shepard is dead, fine. Shepard is alive fine. Shepard can be whatever you want, b*llocks.

[ruggly]

Probably happier, though I'd still like to see Shepard getting pulled out, or even a voice over that says "we found Shepard."

Personally I am now fine with no reunion scene. I've played over my own personal version so much in my head now while listening to "I Was Lost Without You" that I would probably just be disappointed.

The breath scene is Shepard living, not dying...

[Chashan]

Looking exclusively at Red, certainly would be content.

Although there is still the blight of the creepy kid to consider...so nah, I'd rather have that culled as well.

[Astartes Marine]

That would be an acceptable ending to me, provided it was the most difficult to achieve.

There's still some sobering stuff even then; Anderson's dead, the relays are badly damaged, billions of people died in the war, several homeworlds especially Earth are in ruins, and so on.

Sure Shepard lives and didn't have to commit genocide to do it...but overall it was still a bloody fight and something of a pyrrhic victory.  It would take decades, maybe even centuries for all the damage caused to be repaired.

I'd consider it a happy ending even if Shepard were lying dead in the rubble.

[Zjarcal]

I already consider it a happy ending as it is.

This. I hate that Shep is left in a pile of rubble

It's not really even about a reunion scene anymore. It's just the ambiguity, I found it wholly unsatisfying. As far as the character's concerned you've invested hundreds of hours of time, and their ultimate fate is left up to a 'maybe this, maybe that'. Just didn't work for me. This still irks me far more than any complaint about Starjar or the rainbow choice.

I'm personally trying to piece together how to mod in this game to achieve just this.

[Iakus]

 Or an alternative:  the geth and EDI get a "heroic" death like Thane or Mordin.  The problem with the "kill all synthetics" consequence is how arbitrary and pointless it is, save as an inducement to pick another color.

[TomY90]

Destroy would have been the happy ending if Geth & EDI would not die because of it.

I do understand what bioware tried to do they wanted an ending where Shepard completely won but has the blood (or in this case hydraulic fluid) on his hands for the loss of an entire race to guarantee victory over the reapers.

but what I disagree with is how there was not even the possibility of getting a true happy ending (would even minded needing 100% galactic readiness and made all the right decisions from start to finish to get it)

Almost all of that happens prior to the ending. In the context of the game, a Destroy ending with no casualties is very much a sunshine and happiness ending. One does not prevent the fall of galactic civilzation without a few scars along the way.

[CptData]

Only with a subsequent reunion (epilogue: 6 months later) ...

But a "Destroy Ending" without killing EDI and the Geth would make some things much easier, like a simplified headcanon without asspulls to bring back the synthetics.

[Kel Riever]

Uh, well, let's see. Since the ending(s) suck since the moment starbrat shows up, and none of them make sense at all....

....I don't really need any more bad writing to know that my headcannon has the Geth, EDI and Shepard all living by the end of Destroy. Cause that's what happened since I had to do the work myself BioWare was supposed to do.

I guess I just don't see it like that. There's no maybe in my playthrough. He 100% survived. Other Destroy playthroughs may differ.
