I can't equate bittersweet with depth. They don't go hand in hand. Also Mass Effects ending isn't bittersweet. That would imply that there was something sweet there to be found. There isn't.
Also, you enjoyed Blade Runners Happy ending? The one that borrowed stock footage from the Shining, and Harrison Ford narrating over it? The one that just decided "It turns out everybody was wrong, no one's about to die, and we're about to go live happily ever after". That one? That really didn't work. That movie needed a bittersweet ending. And what it got in the end was such a one. It blows your mind.
...I thought the one where he walks out of the apartment building with the chick was a happy enough ending. I like Replicants dying. It makes, I don't know, sense? Anyway, given my particular side of Generation Y, I probably caught the Director's Cut instead of the 'normal' viewing.
I never said Mass Effect's ending was bittersweet, however. You misinterpreted my words in that regard. I refered to a series of books I like, a trilogy, which concludes with a bittersweet note. ME3's ending was shallow, or else I wouldn't have felt dissatisfied by it.
