So for those of you who don't know, the original ending to the game went a little something like this (courtesy of In It For The Tank).

Highlight for spoilerz: The Reapers' goal was to find a way to stop the spread of Dark Energy which would eventually consume everything. That's why there was so much foreshadowing about Dark Energy on Haestom in ME2.

The Reapers as a whole were 'nations' of people who had fused together in the most horrific way possible to help find a way to stop the spread of the Dark Energy. The real reason for the Human Reaper was supposed to be the Reapers saving throw because they had run out of time. Humanity in Mass Effect is supposedly unique because of it's genetic diversity (I know, I know) and represented the universe's best chance at stopping Dark Energy's spread.

The original final choice was going to be "Kill the Reapers and put your faith in the races of the galaxy in finding another way to stop the spread with what little time is left" or "Sacrifice humanity, allowing them to be horrifically processed in hopes that the end result will justify the means."

It's completely different now, though. All the Dark Energy foreshadowing in ME2 doesn't really go anywhere anymore if I remember right.

I think this ending would have been much better than what we got. The whole bit about genetic diveristy is kind of dumb, but at least the final choice feels more in line with what Mass Effect is all about. It's not like this is a sunshine-and-rainbows choice either; you're essentially being forced to decide to either preserve the status quo at the cost of possibly ruining things in the long term, or to do something horrific for the greater good.

THIS IS THE KIND OF THING I WANTED TO SEE!

So, I'm officially starting this petition for BioWare to create a completely optional non-canon DLC than can be toggled on and off after downloading to restore the original ending. This benefits everyone. BioWare gets to stick with the ending they decided to do and the fans get a completely non-canon ending that allows them to get what they want.

All of this is assuming that the secret NG+ ending doesn't turn out to be this exact ending. Which would be awesome.

Please add your voice to my plea!
