I'd be okay with a bittersweet ending, though. If a bunch of the galaxy is dead, but I manage to stop the Reapers, at least I won't feel like I've done everything for nothing. I would like to have a kind of happy ending where I can marry my LI, and maybe I will. Maybe it will be a wedding with a toast to all the dead crewmates. I don't want it to be sunshine and flowers, but please, I want a living Shepard who isn't totally fucked.
Well I know that Shepard can live. This isn't even a spoiler, they've confirmed that there's a playable epilogue. So unless they go Red Dead Redemption on us Shepard should have a chance to live...if anything this thread has convinced me I need to bust my ass to get the best ending possible.

Oh good. I guess I will be taking forever with this game myself. And I read there's a special New Game+ ending you can get. If that's true, and that one is pretty good, at least I can get that.

Is it confirmed we're not being misled or trolled, though? I mean in regards to that Bioware thread. I'm only a few pages in.

Of course the ending is going to be depressing. The start of the game features earth getting fucked up by giant intergalactic robots, and the rest of the game is about a galaxy encompassing war against a seemingly unbeatable enemy. There is no coming back from that. There is absolutely no way things will just return to how they were at the start of ME1.

Hell if I know, I'm too scared to go in there, I don't want the ending spoiled. God damn it, seven days never seemed so long. Screw it, I'm going into internet hibernation.

Dude put that in fucking spoiler tags. Not everyone wants to know that. I put no spoilers in the title. Get rid of it or put it in spoiler tags.

Hmmm, I won´t read it but a depressing ending would be nice. I wouldn´t even mind losing to the reapers if it happened because I screwed up. And losing teammates is a given anyway.
Hell, I´m replaying Mass Effect 2 right now simply because everyone survived the suicide mission last time and I want to have some drama.

Depressing like inFAMOUS 2 good ending or depressing like Resistance 2 ending?
Basically, Bioware copies Warhammer 40k.

I mean REALLY? You fucking copy an IP that's been around for DECADES?! And a chapter of its history that everyone knows?

Is Bioware that bad at writing it has to copy paste an entire landmark of another IP's story?
I dunno, you can read it for yourself and come to the final conclusion if you want


THIS IS A SPOILER LINK, IF YOU DONT WANT THE ENDING SPOILED DONT CLICK ON IT!

I like the idea of the ending, but even the best ending seriously limits the potential of any non-prequel installment in the series. Which is cool that they might potentially leave it at that, but I doubt it.

Depends on the execution. Not everything needs a happy ending, and I really thought Shepard would be for sure dead no matter what.

Edit: OP should really mark this thread major spoilers. Even if you only talk about minor spoilers, everyone else is talking about the big ones.

I love how Bioware calls squadmates henchmen.

If I ever make a game, that is what the protagonist shall call his squad.

That or goons.

Are we sure that these leaks are accurate? Are we sure that this isn't someone on a trolling spree?

If so, then it's not really that big of a deal anyway. The game is only a week away and it wasn't exactly like Mass Effect was high art and the spoilers will blow our minds or something.

I don't know, the only one that was really confirmed was from ashes.
