I wish the endings for ME3 aren't canonizes
I wish the endings for Mass effect 3 are not canonizes and the developers create a new ending or borrow the ending mod. Maybe the Mass Effect 4 would take place in the distance future (centuries) abo...

There is "no ending" in Mass Effect 3. Till the Extendet Cut there are a few possible endings. And till they put in this "breathing chest" of Shepard at one of the endings, it could be everything. They can pick whatever ending they want: Destroying the MilkyWay, make a Human-Mechanic MilkyWay. Or:
Shepard saved the MilkyWay, was rescued, EVI was somehow redone (by a backup), the Portals are fixed. Everywhere is peace and Happiness. You see a shower, somebody is under the shower (remember Dallas 😃 ), than you see XXX [love-interest] enter the bathroom: "Sweetheart, you have an important call. It's Admiral Hackett .... the Galaxy is in trouble again. Hurry up!"
And your Shepard leaving the shower. Sighting. :-)

Whilst I do think your version is better and given a choice I would buy a game with this ending, the actual fact is that yours is one of 10 possible ending. You chose destroy. ending and probably have enough war assets so shepard survived(and hoped that there is a shower scene lol) What if another fan chose synthesis and shepard's dead and milkyway folks are now these quasi organic/synth hybrid? Or another who chose control and Shepard's now a super reaper galactic policeman?
Just saying if I am siting on the bioware seat and I am the one in charge of the next ME game, it would take a lot of guts and political will to pull off a ME4, telling all fans to ignore the previous 9 endings and focus on one that Bioware now thinks is the actual ending. They cant even do a Q&A thing at the start to find out which ending you chose so that they can customise the game accordingly, as the endings are too divergent. It's like they will have to do at least 3 totally new games rather than 1. So the easy way out was to create andromeda...
See Dragon Age: They made Dragon Age: Inqusisition with ONE possible ending. They just have choosen one ending with a little bit "cosmetic chances depeding on your decisions in the further two parts". Like: Is Alistair king or Warden. 😉
Why should they not do the same with Mass Effect?

Well I played all 3 dragon age games, I vaguely remembered the first one was good, the second one wasnt, DAI was ok. I cant even remember the story as it didnt attract me as much as ME. I think they changed the protagonist, the 3rd one as well. I can hardly remember the characters( with the exception of morigan cause shes so hot with claudia black's voice... man... Apologies I digress...) As much as some fans loved dragon age, for me, in my personal scale of games, it's not there at the top with the ME trilogy. If you wish to create a game like Dragon age, different protagonist, a little disjointed, am sure some would like that. I wont. To me that would have devastated the ME legacy more than MEA would lol. For me when people mention gotham, I think of batman, when people mentioned ME I think of Shepard, Robin will never replace batman, even if he calls himself nightwing and gets a darker costume. Calling a show gotham and I get only robin running around saying "Holy Moly" being a nice boy just doesnt really do it for me... That's just my opinion, feel free to disagree but that's how I feel.

I agree. I hate the idea of Mass Effect taking the direction of a new protag each game. Each single trilogy game as a stand alone isn't nearly as good as the entire trilogy together. Developing that connection with the main char (Shepard) and crew mates only happens over several games. Have never felt the sa e connection with any of the Dragon Age chars, not even the ones who have been in more than one game - because with a new protag its a different friendship. Never enjoyed dragon age as much as mass effect. I like it well enough but theres something to be said for keeping the same protag across multiple games for forging that deeper emotional connection.

Didn't Inquisition have 2 possible endings? To continue with the Inquistion, or to dosband it? I only played once and chose to disband it but I distinctly remember the choice between the two, each with its own pros and cons.

I played through all the ME games many times.
I played through DA:O and DA2 many times.
I played through DA:I once and left it.
Forgive me that I don't feel like ME should be more like DA:I.
I feel like a symbol of respect ending stories when they ought to end, don't overextending them beyond necessity. It's like bringing back a long-lost loved one back to you without any regards what the other part wants, if one wanted to be gone of have their so earned rest.
I actually hoped otherwise, that Andromeda was ever more detached from the trilogy. The way it is right now seems yet too much intertwined, too much likely the endings or anything that will come to explain why they are not related will have a very hard time to convince part of the fan base of their authenticity; I feel it has become a time-bomb.
I would pretty much be ok if they wanted to tell another story for Mass Effect without even considering Shepard ever existed, adjusting parts of the lore accordingly.

Aw C"mon Vlad! If they made a Canon ending where Shep defied Catalyst and used the Crucible like the Death Star in Return of the Jedi, and then the war rages on for years until an eventual victory I think at least 90% of ME fans would happily buy into it, as long as they got it as an option to choose in their own games. Maybe a few die hard Control or Synthesis people, but mostly those endings suck.💔
All Bioware would have to do would be to take the "lose" ending and add a bit between Catalyst getting huffy and Liara's message. Like Shep pops open a power box thing on the wall, finds the big red button, and has a dialogue choice. Paragon Shep goes with "sorry, but you brought this on yourselves" or something.😇 Renegade Shep does the ME version of the Emperor's Death Star victory monologue, "prepare to witness the power of this fully armed and operational battle station, your friends will die, your fleet will be destroyed, and soon this pitiful harvest will be at its end, etc."👿😃 Hopefully we get to see Reaper ships getting blown apart, and if we have a high readiness/force total, we get to see any surviving friends just taking apart groups of Reaper ground forces.:eahigh_file: Then you can let the LIara's message bit play out, but at the end rotate the view 180 degrees and show a city and people possibly the Storyteller and child. Then Shep can narrate the ending "the war was long and brutal but after the main Reaper forces at Earth and Palaven were destroyed....". YAY! Everyone's Happy!🥳
