It's prehaps a bit worse than that. It's as if all paths back to minis tirith have collapsed. And you do get to see Frodo get engulfed by the lava, while the rest of the fellowship begins to run away without bothering to find out what had just happened.Laterali wrote...
I love that excuse, " We wanted people to use their own interpretations."
So the hours I spent reading codex's, reading the planet descriptions, talking to every NPC over the course of 3 games. The first time I played ME1, it was almost 100 hours. And then they end it all with a mirror and a, You decide" mentality?
Imagine if you're watching the LOTR movies, and at the very end, right when everything is at it's worst, and the ring is melting in the lava, it ends. You don't know if Aragorn and the other survived. Frodo and Sam are stuck in an active volcano. As far as you know, everyone just died.
Can you imagine if they came out and were like, we wanted you guys to make up your own ending.
The "leave it to your interpretation" explanation is a cop out. They either ran out of time, money, or they were on lsd, (which would actually account for the colorful explosions.) What a lame ass excuse. Quoting Wrex quoting that asari, 'Better luck next time."
But yeah, the open for interpretation ending fails hard in two regards in my opinion. One (your point) being that a series like this needs to end on a defeinitive heroic statement, which it fails to provide.
The second being that they gave us enough information that there is a definitive purpose to it. We can't pretend it didn't happen. We saw the citadel explode, Shepard die, the relays explode, and the Normandy crash land on some random planet. When you ask people to fill in the blanks given this information, they are going to use logic to do it. You'll get this; "The galactic armada is stranded with little hope of getting home. The Quarians and Turians will starve to death due to biological incompatability. The rest will ravage an earth not ready to support them, where they will all die. That is of course assuming the entire solar system didn't wipe out due to the supernova from the relay that was supposed to happen." Or other such miserable crap.
What we'll likely get from this DLC will be a response from Bioware akin to; "No, no, no... You weren't supposed to fill in the blanks with logic. You were supposed to fill them with more space magic and metaphors. I guess we have to do everything for you idiots."
