I am very impressed and attached to this ending you developed. I am one of those people who enjoy seeing relationships flourish in games, and ive also been a person who preferred Tali with Shepard, so when i find out Shepard dies in the end, it left me kind of heartbroken. The option of an alternate ending in which he lives and continues relationships would be greatly admired. I do see how giving his life up to permit everyone else their continuation of life is the ultimate gift you can give, it still breaks my heart to see the ending they chose. Reading this ending you posted brings some happiness to me to see people realize how Shepard dying is not acceptable for a "happy" ending.
