User blog comment:Matthew Paul/What's wrong with wanting a happy ending for ME3?/@comment-1786741-20120411195053

I simply want the CHOICE to have a somewhat happy ending. I know there are people who prefer bleak and depressing endings, so I wouldn't want to railroad them into having a happy ending. The point of the matter is... why couldn't have Bioware done both? They could have satisified thousands of fans by giving us different endings. Unfortunately, the endings as they currently exist are fairly straitforward. Shepard sacrifices himself, cored explosions, reapers gone, end. Despite all of your actions, you barely manage to have even a somewhat "happy" ending. On the opposite spectrum, you can't even FAIL. Even if you handled the Reaper threat as well as a retarded monkey, even if you failed with just about every alliance, you still destroy the Reapers. Now that is insulting.
