You do realise I said I disliked the ME3 endings at face value, right? :innocent:

Hmm, I'm surprised to see you say "one can definitely see why they do the things they do." That's one of my major gripes with the series - I feel that there's an absolute surplus of characters who do things (e.g. betrayals, plots etc.) that make absolutely no practical sense other than to provide a shocking plot twist. Obviously I won't say any spoilers but there were a lot of occasions when I just thought it'd have been a million times easier and more sensible for everyone to just get along!
There's also the fact that the overriding plot has been largely ignored (but for one main character) for 90% of the series so far, in favour of a whole load of political squabbling. I just think the whole going-against-the-grain thing has been taken far too far by GRR Martin, and he's lost sight of what makes fantasy great - the fantasy element.
I much, much, much prefer the Wheel of Time, even if Brandon Sanderson's writing style pales in comparison to the late, great Robert Jordan.
I'm pretty sure "everyone getting along" would just kill the story. What if everyone got along in Star Wars? There would be no movie.

Of course, it was a tongue-in-cheek exaggeration. What I mean is, there's plenty of situations where alliances are broken or people are betrayed, where I honestly don't think it makes a lot of sense. It's one thing to keep the reader on their toes and drive a powerful story, but it's another thing entirely to make pretty much every single inter-character relationship breakable at a moment's notice, just for the sake of keeping the reader on their toes.
It's just how I see it, anyway. I know plenty of people who loved the series, but I just... don't. I'll still read the rest when they come out, don't get me wrong, they're still decent books. I just don't think they're great books, by any stretch of the imagination.

@hellishfiend
thanks, i guess. the actual reason it all started with was; "hmm... the game is over? but.. hmm ... i guess i did something wrong. what does google say about that?"
shortly followed by retake mass effect and then indoctrination theory. then i found the video with only the red choice given, and then i had to actually get a forum account, register mass effect 3 to post here, and 4 weeks later .. everyone hates me. well, at least i dont have cancer.

That's just cause lies, betrayal, and secrets are a major theme of the story, everyone has their own agenda.

Pack it up folks, random nobody says there's nothing to the ending, we better believe him.

I see that trolls have invaded us again.
Well, unlike the troll I helped in witcher 2 stop boozing, these trolls do not deserve any mercy!
