I have devoted many hours of gameplay to all three entries into the Mass Effect series like many others. Playing through the game and going into the ending 100% Paragon over three titles with a readiness over 5700, battling waves upon waves of the enemy through entirely amazing scenes. The one that stands out is when LT. Cortez (?) gets shot down and killed and you are rushed by the enemy. While battling them the Reaper is unleashing such a massive torrent of artillery towards the sky that it is nearly blinding you. Wave upon wave falls to Sheppard and his team. Countless times before with the odds stacked so heavy against him a penny would make the better a millionaire he prevails. 

I do not get it, nor shall I I'd assume. I have devoted more then 500 hours of gameplay at the least into this fantasy series. From books to games and replays. From redoing key points to make sure that the last hours of the series I am fully prepared to save Earth, win the heart of my love interest Ashley and complete what I may deem as the very best interactive story I have had the chance to play. I finished all my quests for my friends in each game, I said my goodbyes to each, some such as Mordin earlier then others. Perfect story, great roleplaying made for what I think is the closest any game has come to feeling alive. Like you are there, making those choices. It is a great escape from a world that is not like this. Gray is how our world is with good and evil mixed in with everything such as the daily news, work and choices in life. This is not the case in ME though, as I can play that fearless hero that has spat in the face of the odds, worked through all the difficult choices and when the enemy told him no he found that yes he needed to prevail.

Your endings as fas as I am concerned are not my endings. MY Sheppard made his own choice, he chose none of these options in the dream he was in after being struck by the Reaper blast. He wokeup, he picked up his injured and continued the fight. He made it to the Citadel where MILLIONS lived, where houses and structures and every part of the place bespoke of life. I fought for these people as I had fought for all others. I met up with the Illusive man, I made a PARAGON choice to save Anderson as well as him. I broke the bonds that held me in check, the same ones Harbinger himself could not control me with on a power scale millions of time higher then what the Illusive man could comprehend. Sheppard made it to the console as they docked the design of dead races before them. The Reapers were disabled... not geth whoom I had brokered a peace with one, having lasting friendship with the martyr of his synthetic race. The other whoom saved me countless times and was regarded as a friend EDI, she did not fall.

The child that haunted my dreams was there. It spoke not of three options but of how he could finally rest. This figment of my imagination running through the woods to end in fire ran off one last time...playing as a child should, happy is my ending. One so good in which this world that embedded itself into my imagination makes me feel accomplished. All those hours, all for good and victory over evil as well as the third path... the gray area.

Make my ending, give me that chance to flesh out the ideas in my head. You have ended it as such that I will never shake this feeling that the game has not ended. Let me play through, beat the odds and see some if not all my results to close the book on this exciting story. Ive spent my money for this hell of a fine ride. Let me get off somewhere nice? :D
