I thing we need to make the distinction between artistic direction and deleivery of the active realisation.
You would not have a different ending to "im westen nichts neues" would you?
If Bioware wants to give us a darker ending, we don't really have ground to complain. This is their story.
However that direction needs to take in account the different possible play through. This is where the difference with other from of arts lies.
The franchise is famous has that very instalment has advertised that your decisions will influence the outcome.
So the telling how we arrive to end result the author wants is up to the play-through, In a way the player artistic direction.
What do i mean?
is that you can arrive the same end result as the artistic direction requires and still take care of the customer's in game choices.
So at the very least with the present options, the conversation should drive to us to get the choice of the color according to our actions. either through dialogue and giving alternative option or by limiting the option according to the play-through.
Since the actual 3 endings are the same regardless what you did and each will match only a limited set of play though.
It is borderline on the artistic direction but I think some play through would require an option to tell the God child to shove it where sun does not shine.
So we can still get the same state of devastation on technological leap back and go and die with your squad mate (paragon) or leave with you LI and have the Normandy cut scene and let galaxy go to pot (renegade)

I empathize that people didn't get what they want but people have the wrong idea. There is no promise you would have choices at the end that make sense to you and fulfill all your needs. Indeed most games have just one end. BW could have made one ending even as they gave you choices throughout the game. There should be no expectation to what they should give us as an ending except how they wanted to end it. They cannot and should not cover any eventuality that someone could dream up. Even if they had 10 unique endings some people would still be unhappy. BW has to to the cost vs. benefit analysis and they came up with what they did. People should let their anger go and accept that BW has a right to make their product how they wish for many reasons financial, artistic, story, universe building for future games, and many they can't say. No one seems to care one whit about BW/EA and their needs in the situation. No it is all about me, me, me and not the game.
My goodness, don't people *read* the threads they post in? -
"Yes, books have been retracted, even movies have been tweaked, but
that's a fundamentally different thing. As I've said before, this is a
game that was heavily advertised as one dependent on player choice.
It was, over & over again, marketed to us as one where our choices
in the game would create "wildly divergent" endings. A customer has
every right to complain about a product that was sold without features
they were told it would have."
