What's funny is that just a few minutes before coming here I was going through the unofficial epilogue slides that some fans creatively put together: http://shannon.users...net/masseffect/ It's worth a look. The reunion between Kaidan and Shepard was especially touching.
Good work, those fans. I especially like the saving-A.I. vs. how-long-until-you-get-interstellar-travel idea - that's exactly the kind of consequence I would have liked to see play out in epilogue.
As for the DLC...well. If it provides insight into what the Bioware writers were thinking when they came up with the endings, that would be interesting. Myself, I'm more interested to see what my favourite fanfic authors come up with now. There are some amazing writers amongst the Mass Effect fandom, such when I read their stuff, I think, "Yeah...why
didn't that scene play like that?" or "Yep, those characters were totally having that conversation whilst my Shepard was asleep/on a mission/in the loo."
If I like their interpretations of the endings better, then that's the way my head-canon is going for Aki too. "Creative differences", as someone said!
