Now that some of the dust settled I had some time to think about the ending and you know what ? It still blows. I think Mr Hudson said something about ultimate sacrifice and that ME is just about that. So what happens at the end? We broke the cycle... and destroyed the galactic community in the process. Seriously who the hell came up with the idea of Mass Relays being destroyed. Why save the galaxy if you ultimately f***d up everyone living in it. Future generations? There wont be any future generations. There could be i guess some new lifeforms evolving and taking to the stars, oblivious to the fact that there was a Great War and trillions gave up their lives to save some undeveloped furry mice or whatever. In time they will create their own AI nemesis and the story begins anew. A new freaking cycle.
My point being. Shep may die. Lots of friends may die. Galaxy can mostly burn and suffer. But mass relays have to stay intact, and the survivors have to remember! If we sacrifice ourselves it has to be for something.
It seems BW thought it would be great for Shep and the rest of the galaxy to sacrifice everything for this puny little lifeforms on some forgotten world to survive....
...and Reapers would leave this lifeform be anyway.
Sorry for that, had to blow off some steam
I'll keep holding the line and ill be here till only my ship is left and goes down in flames!
