No, your choices on ME1 and ME2 actually DO matter.
you just can reunite geth and quarians if both legion and tali survived ME2, made both loyal, did not blow up the heretic geth base, gave the evidence about tali's dad the court and whatnot.
you just can cure the genophage if you saved the research data from mordins guy, and did not destroy it.
you get biotic teens and jack if jack survived, her as war asset (and meet her at the purgatory)
dunno about the fate of the collector base, though
The choices influence your ME3 gameplay, but ...Thing is, they do NOT influence the ending at all, either you saved all people in ME2 or whatever not, your choice is just between three (or two) different flavours of space magic.
Exactly. No one understands that we are not saying they don't matter; they DO...except in the very end. Then it's all...colors. Space Magic.

Question to the original poster.
What if I was in Hiroshima and managed to saved let's say a thousand people from many incidents, only to have a big nuke dropped on their head. Would you still say that the thousand people I saved earlier mattered? If we all died nevertheless?
That was exactly what I was complaining about, at the end it didn't matter at all.
at example:
I made peace between the geth and the quarians. In a few years quarians can live on Rannoch without their suits anymore, geth help them to rebuild, and so on.
During the last battle around Earth, all the fleets were in the Sol system (yes, geth and quarians included), and after the spacemagic pulse, the Relays get destroyed, and every fleet gets trapped in the Sol system.
Quarians: Yay, reapers gone, let's enjoy our homewo... wait we are on earth.
I still think they just had no time for a proper ending. EA told them to stick to the release date, "at all costs!" (sorry for the ME3 quote)
