No

Oh and, does a reunion scene make the ending "happy"?

nevermind, no point answering that, no point arguing, bioware does not listen nor care about the poisonous TOXIC BSN

And I guess that's really the thing. It doesn't do much good to argue against something that would most likely be optional. If you want a happy ending, then it could just be something that requires a lot more effort gathering whatever or upgrading this or that, and if you think such a thing just doesn't fit for the story you're playing, you can avoid it.

I think most people who argue against a happy ending do so because there's tension between ME as story and ME as game. Dramatically, I think there needs to be a cost to beating the Reapers, and one that the player feels. But, as a gamer, I want to play as well as I possibly can. If playing well takes the sting away from an ending I feel should sting, that makes me choose between the roles of gamer and co-author.

Then I guess it's just a matter of whether or not one feels it stung in the right place. In my opinion, it kind of didn't.

What sting there is feels like it's coming from the writers and not the story. Of course the story comes from the writers but any costs and rewards should flow out of it. They don't with ME3's ending.

I didn't want a happy ending. I just wanted an ending that made sense and did justice to the game. If the ending as a whole was better, and Shepard died I would have been happy.
