I've been reading a lot of posts on the forums concerning the endings of the games. Obviously, there's a lot of anger and discontent about them, and having finished the game last night and being able to reflect this morning, I can definetly see where that anger is coming from. It did leave a lot of  blindingly obvious questions ( joker leaving, crash landing etc). However, what I can't agree with a lot of people on is that the endings, a matter of minutes in this 100+ hour trilogy, have 'destroyed' it.

I believe what Bioware has done tremendously well with these games is created a universe, a compelling one, where players go on a journey worth going on - that was always where the enjoyment of the series was. Conversations with characters, both familiar and new - ME3 delivered on that, to an even higher degree than the first two I think ( despite writer and series veteran Drew Karpyshyn being absent - that in itself was a victory I think on the writers of ME3) . A fleshed out lore. Drama. Tough decisions, and their consequences. Thinking back to the scene where legion attempts to upload the reaper tech to the geth fighting the quarians - I at first allowed the upload, but after further pleading from Tali, I stop it, and end up personally gunning down Legion - A character I first cared little for in ME2 (lost loyalty), but then became sympathetic for. That was a incredibly hard thing to do, to see the geth destroyed.

I think its those moments that the game is really about, and there's plenty of them. Sure, the ending could have been handled more elegantly. There should be a proper epilogue, but the epilogue in any story, a book, tv show, movie, video game, whatever medium for storytelling you choose, is not what 'makes' the story. It was always about the journey in getting there, and we all know it was a damn good one, because if it wasn't, we wouldn't be on these forums in the first place, much less care about the ending as much as we do. Lets appreciate the hard work and dedication of the devs, in being ambitious enough to plan a trilogy from day one, all those years ago, and delivering.
