Like I said in a post above I think if they had just ended it with Anderson and Shep dying side by side while the crucible goes off then the vast majority of the player base I think would have been fine with that. I feel like saying fan expectations were part of it is a bit unfair. Hundreds of hours sunk into the series and I don't even know how many different playthroughs trying to get all of the decisions and choices just the way I wanted them only to turn around and have none of it matter in any way. At least that is what pissed me off the most. And I think that is what pissed people off the most.
So it gives an immediate feeling of everything that you did not mattering at all. Not only because it was just terribly written and made no sense, but in a game that was built upon your choices being meaningful and mattering the ending is not changed by your choices in any way. That is the ultimate failure of the ending in my opinion. A person could have gone full renegade and killed everyone and another person could have gone full Paragon and saved everyone and both of them would have gotten the exact same cutscene if they both chose destroy. I lay the problem more at the feet of development and the writers refusing to commit themselves to an outcome.Īnd I think it would have gone over a lot better if the ending had taken into account any of the choices that we had made across the three games in any meaningful way whatsoever.
