The debate over Mass Effect 3‘s ending (every version of it) isn’t going to be settled anytime soon, but it certainly seems telling that more and more people over the years have started to treat the game’s “Happy Ending” mod as the RPG trilogy’s spiritual conclusion (even if it’s clearly not the canonical one).
