I just can't emphasize enough that what we are calling for here is that we at least want the ending clarified, there are so much confusion around it, if we harness the confusion it can kill a Reaper.

Also, my major grievance with the ending isn't mentioned here. As I've been telling anyone who'll listen, Commander Shepard is essentially the personification of defiance. He scoffs at the mere notion of laying down and dying when confronted by Sovereign on Virmire and then proceeds to blow Sovereign from the sky.
He dies and is resurected and, instead of spending the remainder of his years getting over PTSD from the event, he picks up his gun and destroys the Reapers' minions the Collectors. He's threatened time and again by mercs, The Shadow Broker, and the Reapers' forces and he simply refuses to give up and refuses to see any other option than fighting with every fiber of his being.
On the asteroid plummeting for the Alpha Relay he tells Harbinger what he intends to do: "Maybe we can't win this. But we will fight you regardless."
Throughout ME3 Shepard is told peace between the Turians and Krogan is impossible and he proves the naysayers wrong. He singlehandedly ends a 300 year old war and forms an alliance with a race of synthetic beings in spite of every claim that it was impossible.
When shown defeat at the hands of Kai Leng on Thessia, Shepard rallies and devastates Cerberus in their base of operations. He refuses to allow a rogue human group compromise his plans.
Finally, when he almost reaches the conduit that leads to the Citadel, he is nearly killed by a Reaper but he defiantly forces himself on.
Everything Shepard has done in 3 games has been in direct defiance of the Reapers. He doesn't pale at the sight of their fleets, he doesn't tire in his effort to stop their inexorable march across the galaxy, he fights and fights until he is at the brink of defeating them.
And then he accepts the Guardian's false dilemma as his only options, ignoring all other possibilities right when it matters.
That is what bothers me about this ending. Not the fact that there is very little difference between endings, not the fact that there are plot holes, not the fact that it's dark and Shepard dies/is separated from his crew, and not the fact that all Dextro DNA species in orbit around Earth would die of starvation.
My Shepard fights until he dies, and Bioware's gave up right when it mattered most.
So much this. Shepard does not give up. Ever. She keeps on fighting through whatever the odds. She argues with anyone and anything to defend what's right. And yet right there at the end of everything... She gives up and gives in. That's just not right.

EDITING TO ADD:
If the theory I've seen on YouTube is true and Shep dreamed the last portion of the game, DLC to explain what ACTUALLY HAPPENED. If the theory isn't true, gdi Bioware I defend you all over the place. Stop making me regret that.

Where do we go from here?
Story can take place before the reaper arc, there's plenty of lore, none as compelling but enough to make several games.
I'll throw in my support with the rest but I won't hold my breath for DLC with more endings, especially one for free, and I, like many others I'm sure, will not pay for it, no matter how much closure is provided.

The entire premise of the three choices are based on that no matter what we do the creator and the created cannot co-exist...I find that mind-boggling-ly incomprehensible.
Back in the 18th century, black men were slaves, white men didn't even allow them to eat at the same table. Now? We have a black man in the white-house. Yes, we paid for it with blood, but we learned! That's how we "organics" function. We (more or less) learn from our mistakes! The wizard child takes that away from us...that makes me sadface

I just want to rant about he ending being so un-Shepherd like. The resounding theme throughout is that we can hope and have faith in each-other.

Agreed. I got the Geth and the Quarians to cooperate. Why the hell couldn't Shep at least say to the kid "well hold on a tick, synthetics and organics CAN coexist, they're doing it right NOW. JUST MAYBE your people were wrong and this cycle got it right. Ta-DAH."
...Because even wounded my Shep would be snarky about it.

Definitely support this. You worded it all far more eloquently than I ever could.
But you can spell eloquent, ha!

someone even started a thread on here in support of it:
http://social.biowar...index/9833130/1
I came across another thread that is "on fire" with a very similar concept just not in the script format that Arkis wrote, it includes a poll:

Note:
--Illusive Man makes the Paragon choice (arguably, I.M. is not entirely evil and exists in a morally grey area.)
--Anderson makes the Renegade choice (again, it could be argued that he made that decision because, as I.M. said, he's a soldier that only sees down the barrel of his gun.)
--Readiness above 5k, as I understand it, and making the Renegade choice gets you the fragment of ending shown in the video, where Shepard wakes up with a gasp.
Not perfect. I'd still prefer to see an ending that actually takes my decisions into account. But better than nothing, even if it hasn't officially been stated that this theory is correct.
