A slight variation in the writing would have made it a thousand times better for me.

My problem with the ending, as it is the problem for others, is that the synthetics rebelling against organics plot has only ever been a sideplot in the Mass Effect franchise and now all of a sudden this fact is the sole motivation of the Reapers and that damn meddling kid.

In all the games and even at the end of the game the reapers/skykid tell us that the reapers are the solution to chaos. What bothers me is that BioWare chose the synthetics vs. organics as a synonym for this chaos. Why not show us the many examples in the series. In a way we can see the Salarians as creators of the Krogans. Show us David and the rogue AI from Overlord.

Wouldn't it be much better if the Artifact explained to us that organic evolution will in some way or another always lead to the extinction of the galaxy's races and recourses and that he has seen this countless times in different scenarios in other galaxys? Wouldn't it be better that the Artifact explained to us that organics simply cannot live, coexist and above all cannot evolve in a profitable way for an infinite amount of time and that the Artifact chose to find a (be it bitter) solution for our own galaxy?

Shepard could then give a counterargument and show us that he united all the races and got them to live in peace with eachother.

The Artifact in turn would show us the ironic fact in that event. That it can only take a force that removes them from the galaxy to bring the galaxy together in peace.

After that we could have the option to persuede the Artifact (we are the first organic to stand there after all and he tells us his solution doesn't work anymore) to either;

- let us be and give us a chance to show it that we can live in peace and coexist with eachother eternally, but with the chance that in the long run it will indeed create a messed up galaxy. (a true bittersweet ending imo, a happy end, but the existing chance of a dark future)

and of course have the other options without persuasion:

- let the reapers continue and let shepard and the rest of the advanced species die

- destroy the reapers and all their technology

After that I would still like some closure of course, instead of the lame normandy on remote world cinematic.

Or maybe, just attaching some omni gel to it, solves everything.

I agree that the ending could have been more deep. It doesn't feel hasty or anything but I do feel that there could have been more. I was sort of desillusioned when it had ended. Shepard merely listened to ghost boy, a discussion would have been nice. But than again, Shepard was a bit fried and bleeding out and stuff. I don't know, I'm just glad BW wrote the endings the way they wanted and I hope they have the stones to keep it that way. Popular opinion is the cause of all evil imo haha. Just stick some medigel on it.
