Mass Effect creates a drama and threat on the scale beyond the 'happy ending'. Something was going to end poorly and I'm glad each ended with a consequence the player would not like.
"Player would not like" not the same as "we decided that billions of lives wasted during war is not enough so no pesronal happy ending for Sheppard and Normandy crew". Galaxy in tatters. Is it so much for Shep and his crew to have some peace?

Up until the ending was leaked, this very community was complaining that the only way to win the war was to be some Deus Ex Machina that would seem to be a shallow victory.
There will be Deus Ex Machina anyway. no?
That scene, being one without choice, was actually a GOOD scene, because it took choice away from the player, reminded them they were in a limited space for choice- that they were not god.
We got that a lot in DA2. No matter what Anders will go besrserk and play terrorist, no matter what, there will be a war between templars and mages. no matter what strange idol will corrupt everyone on it's path. We CAN NOT change that. Global scale, fine. But local scale, player scale, Hawk scale, Sheppard, should be more flexible. We earned it. Make it hard to achive, i am all for that, but provide us with all kinds of options.
