Emotionally nihlistic.. thats what I felt after the ending.

To me, the crime of Bioware is that they crafted an ending that took away the ME universe we have invested so much emotion in.

Regardless of what we chose in ME1,2,3, none of them matter in the end. All of our choices whitewashed, the supposedly important decision we've made throughout the series bleached in a single stroke...

The characters, places and the universe taken away from us.

I remember when I first saw the concept art for Thessia thinking how beautiful it is and how it embodies the Asari culture, and how it would look like without craters and Reapers...well now....just nothing.

It kinda does. Even if you don't wipe out the synthetics (Geth), you still have to deal with the fact that nobody can communicate, families are torn apart, every race's military is stuck in the Local cluster, etc.

Yep. I no longer feel like playing any of the Mass Effect games. The final ten minutes of ME3 destroyed the series for me, because it's all for nothing.

Yeah, aside from the fact that it has plot holes and terrible writing up the wazoo, this is my main problem with the ending. I'd be absolutely cool with Shepard always dying, hell, I could deal with his entire crew dying if that was what it took.

But the fact that this ending essentially takes the fictional universe I'd grown so interested in and essentially reduces it to a galactic stone age is what really grinds my gears. Getting the quarians their home back? Curing the genophage? What does it matter when everybody's essentially stranded?

Exactly, Shepherd dying or the crew dying would have been acceptable if they weaved it with skill. The skill that they have judging by the way they handled Mordin and rallying your emotions against Kai and TIM.

The point that kills is that regardless of your actions the ME universe is essentially gone. The things that defined the universe are gone. :(
