I just wanted to share my thoughts of the ending with you, which I already posted in the german part of the forum.
I am not a native english speaker, so please excuse the mistakes I may have made in the translation of my text:
I absolutely loved Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3...
For several years, no game managed it, to bind me emotionally to all the different game characters of a game like the Mass Effect Universe managed this.
I laughed with them (What Garrus said in ME3, when Shepard caught him and Tali kissing)
I felt happy with / for them (same scene with Garrus and Tali, and when my FemShep and Liara said, that they loved each other)
I felt the same Anger like them (on Cerberus and TIM, after Thessia)
I even felt true(!!!) grief, when I heard about the death of a less important character (after the Cerberus attack,when the two nsc on the citadel talked about Cerberus killing Kelly Chambers...)
... and all that was ruined within the last ten minutes of the game...
I finished the game 5 days ago, but wasn´t able to find words for my feelings about the ending for 3 days after that...
On the first day, when I finished the game just minutes before I left for work, I was stunned, I felt like an empty bottle, I was lethargic, close to depression... I couldn´t stop thinking about the end the whole day long, my thoughts were mixed with phrases like: "This can´t be true... What did they think.... How could they..."
My co workers noticed my state, but as we are a computer store (where I even bought my copy of ME3), they understood my feelings and didn´t say anything about my bad work on that day
On the second day, my mood changed into frustration and anger, I was close to writing a thread with lots of bad words into the german part of the forum, but then I found a thread similar to this one
(which had about 1.200 replies then, today there are 4.600 ones)
... so I spend the whole day reading, and was happy about the fact, that I was not the only one who felt bad about the ending.
On day three, I finally felt able to find acceptable words for my feelings, so I started writing this text.
I absolutely can´t buy any more Bioware games with clear conscience, as I have to fear, thatI will be disappointed excessively. I even deactivated my SW-TOR account, and won´t reactivate it, before Bioware propitiates me again..
And this conciliation can only happen in one way: a DLC with a much better, a happy ending, where the Reapers... and ONLY the Reapers will be destroyed, and everything else in the galaxy continues with their usual way... like: the mass relays are not destroyed, my Femshep and Liara get some blue offspring(s), Shepard visits Tali on Rannoch and looks through the living room window they have spoken about the last time on Rannoch, while Garrus puts a picture on a wall next to them (i had to smile, when I thought oft that situation)
And of course, as a proper ending belongs into a finished game, and Bioware didn´t manage (for what reason ever) to give us this ending in the finished game... the patch, of DLC that fixes their terrible mistake should be FOR FREE!!!
I hope you understand, what I want to say, I had to use leo.dict for many, many words
