I'm gonna gout out on a limb here, a very thin one and just say they dug themselves into a hole. They threw out so much hype about choice, and freedoms and what have you that they couldn't actually deliver on them all.

Nah, it would have been easy to write an ending where the Normandy doesn't end up stranded, and where the crew and Shepard end up reunited.  If these leaks are true, it was a deliberate choice.

True enough, but then it leads to my second statement about just killing Shepard off or at the very least removing him/her from the picture. He/she was a loose end to them imo.

And ultimately instead of taking their time and allowing choices to come to fruition they threw together endings to just pretty much kill off Shepard, all the while leaving a small window they could climb through if they wanted to continue the series.

The journey may have been set for gold, but the destination has been set for something else entirely.

I think this is probably what happened as well.
That said, I would have been absolutely fine with Bioware taking one of the possible endings - using it as their base canon for future installments and then allow the writers to go to town with the rest. That would have left them with a canon to work with in future installments, but would have also given the rest of us who could care less about 'official canon' endings to choose from that suit our own headcanons better. 
Hell, they could easily set future installments several thousands of years in the future - when Shepard and their journey could have settled into mere myth and speculation in the eyes of the galaxy. It would have saved them from establishing any canon, while giving us room for different endings in the initial trilogy. Because no one is going to know the truth behind the myth, or even if it's REAL. That's the whole point of myths. They change with time, and while they might have some basis in reality they often differ greatly from their origins.

See? In two minutes I came up with two different scenarios to get around the issues that might be presented if they want to continue the series.

Seriously, it's a five minute cutscene. There doesn't even really need to be dialogue. Shepard meets up with his crew on earth. The end. There is nothing hard about that at all. I think a trailer would cost more than that to make.

Unless Shep lives. In that case, Robot Space Dog winds up on the Normandy somehow and is disassembled by Tali for spare parts after the crash.

:crying:

This is before Garrus kills and eats Tali, since she is the only source of dextro nourishment on the planet.

What happens to my Robot Space Dog, I paid extra for that!

Robot Space Dog whimpers and paws at Shepard's corpse until its batteries run out.

And then Liara and Tali make a Time machine right and makes sure to KILL HARBINGER FIRST.

Eh I don't know any more. It's getting kind of late here and I've become rather disillusioned by all this. It's a lot to take it about a game of all things, that I've (we've) been waiting for, for a long time.

I sensed a FFX like ending ages ago.

This is really the best we can hope for. Really, just let us have the choice to save the Normandy, that's what is pissing off alot of people. Let us have the choice.

Well, I think enslaving or becomming one with the reapers should logically leave the Mass Relays intact.  I don't have a problem with the idea of seeing them destroyed if you choose to kill the reapers off because that actually makes sense.  But enslaving or becomming one with them?

Intact Reapers should mean intact Mass Relays, end of story (no pun intended).

This thread has single handedly ended my current playthrough attempt of ME1 & ME2 until after I play ME3 with my 'canon' character, that's for sure.

Shepard automatically dies in the merge ending however.

No, Garrus ate Tali. Liara manages to repair one of the Kodiak shuttles, and spends the next thousand years flying back to Earth. She finds Shepard's grave, cries a single tear, and dies.

The Relays are being used to power the Crucible. In Theory, the Destruction ending wipes out Eezo based Technology. The other endings end up using the Mass Relay's power to do what they're doing, thus knocking them out.

Honestly, just send a Reaper to go pick up your team if you're doing Control. They better have a bar on the Citadel when I'm done.

Shepard dies with merge, Shepard's humanity dies but her/his essence lives on and becomes the new guardian. These two choices should not destroy the relays AT all. It's just horrible drama that is...ugh.

This is edgy and grimdark, I approve now make 6 variants of this that can use the same art assets and audio files.

So are you saying that Mass Effect 3 ending is worst than the first 2???? Because I was looking forward to watching about 5 mins of my sheppard cruising the galaxy in the Normandy with my LI (Ashley) and enjoying the new peace.

Can someone please PM me the perfect ending please. I just want to know the perfect ending so I dont troll the forums on Day 1 and be prepared for the worst.

PLZ PM ME

Same for me, at this point i just need to know

Me too, this **** has ruined the other games for me. I don't want to get invested in people that are going to suffer and die no matter what I do.

[WvStolzing]

So Shepard becomes a keeper at the Citadel?

Are you sure it isn't just his body?  Wouldn't the idea of Merging mean he still exists, as part of the reapers collective consciousness?

Edit - Mr. House answered for me already.

But then Miranda shows up and introduces the Phoenix program! But then she dies too.
