There should be an option for an epic death, that I could go for

As long as there is an option for it, sure....If it's forced on me, then hell no.  No way would I sacrafice myself for the sake of the universe.  If Im going to die, everyone else is going with me

That is right if Shepard dies the whole galaxy goes with him. That is the only way I will accept shepard dying.

I think it should be a matter of choice. Maybe not directly choosing whether to sacrifice yourself, but like in ME2, it could hinge on prior decisions whether the mission allows Shepard to continue to live. It would be extremely dissatisfying to me if Shepard died invariably after playing 3 games in a trilogy. We - the fans - also want some sort of closure with the romances and preferably some sort of happy ending. I can't imagine the romance interests as being happy that Shepard died. A bittersweet ending where Shepard dies a hero would be grand so long as it isn't the only ending.

Only if you have a choice in it, and you're not screwed into it by either morality or not having a penis - I'm looking at you, Dragon Age: Origins, you bastard...

Whaaaat?  Oh pshaw, I would totally let my boyfriend sleep with my sexy lady friend if it meant neither of us had to die; shame on you if you didn't.  I just have to be allowed to watch.

[Warlord guy]

An epic death will be nice! like sacrifice yourself to save squad and save the galaxy from the reapers by going alone in to some type of room that shep can only enter or just sacrifice 10 squad members and live like a king!

Two words. Baby. Cthulhu. I just couldn't and sleep at night. So... I felt like the game painted me into a corner two-thirds of the way in. It didn't enamour me to it much

Feh!  It happens after the game ends, not my problem anymore!  And uh, maybe Morrigan will make it a nice Cthulhu.

[BobbyTheI]

Might have been mentioned before in this thread, but I could see a situation where, if you make some bad choices in ME3 (or maybe some that carry over from the previous two games), Shepard has to sacrifice himself to defeat the Reapers.  But I'd hate for that to be the only possibility.  Make it another "Suicide Mission" type situation where, if you do everything right, Shepard pulls out alive.

And epic death could be awesome, esp if you view it as a redemption sort of thing for all the evil things and renegade acts that Shep has commited, or just want to go out in a blaze of glory.

Imagine the different dialogue options in that kind of situation, I mean Shep could go out all badass clint eastwood style, or a more sympathetic way, redeeming the good in him and saying that he now knows what he did was wrong( stuff like saving the collectors base, teaming up with Cerberus, killing a whole race of species, etc). Indeed an epic death ending could be powerful and emotional.

This person has the idea ^^^

yes he is given the existance of the Lazarus project.

I'm pretty sure dying and being resurrected over and over will just become frustrating after several deaths.

[alickar]

yes and no depends if ur renegade or paragon if renegade u have epic death if paragon u go with ur LI to live on a planet somewhere

[jimmyjoefro]

He already had an epic death. Give the guy a break.

[Vaenier]

In darkspace, at the Reapers hibernation facility, Shep sets a bomb in the middle of thier fleet and races the Normandy back to the relay. The Reaper fleet in the background begins to awaken as a white light envelopes them. the Blast waves shakes the hull violently, and the screen goes white just as the Normandy passes through the relay. Shep comes to a little later, floating in zero G on the Normandy. He looks out through the hole caused by the missing forward half of the ship, seeing the galaxy in the distance, along with the debris field that was one the Reapers. EDI drops a distress beacon, but says it could be years before anybody finds them. He turns back and says 'wake me when you need me' to EDI before entering cryostasis, awaiting rescue.



Epic ^.=.^

[sergio71785]

 It should end with Harbinger, like,  assuming control of some cybernetic version of Shepard, and they start fist fighting while floating in the air (there's no gravity or something), all while the song "Neodammerung" is playing.

Yeah ok, you emo wannabe-dead guys can get your self-sacrificial ending but only if I get an option to save everyone including myself, and don't make it like "you have to die unless you talk to that obscure npc on the other side of the universe before you start the final mission or else you can't unlock the option to survive" I won't mind a quest to get a super reaperkilling emp-device thing that is the only way to save myself but I don't want it to be a secret option.

That's a terrible idea. Whether you live or die should have nothing to do with renegade or paragon, but individual decisions. Basically, IMO it should have something to do with whether you go into battle ready or not, just like ME2.

[Strange Aeons]

In DAO the question of dying at the end was at least tied into the lore of the Gray Wardens. It was part of the story from the outset, though unrevealed until near the end. Without the sacrifice that they make, the archdemon literally cannot be defeated (unless you cheat like Morrigan did).



There is no such mechanism to justify Shepard dying in Mass Effect; it would merely be a lazy, cliched shortcut to manufacture drama out of nowhere, like the proverbial ticking time bomb. Not to mention that Shepard has died once already, and the whole "crew in mortal peril" angle was pretty much beat to death in ME2.



Can we please just move on the Reapers already? As if defeating that threat isn't epic enough in itself.
