Full disclosure: I did not myself participate in the poll.
I really need more samples to run tests on. Or I'll just go back to seashells.
One respondent only gave a long paragraph of text , I am posting it below for discussion's sake.
They can leave the rest of Shepard's life as open-ended as they want, but we were promised that we would have closure, not that we would have to write the end ourselves. I would be totally fine doing that, but the end cut off so quickly it doesn't give any writer anywhere to start, what the basic ground rules are after the relays explode, a general idea where/when/etc the Normandy is. It looked like it got sucked through a wormhole, so I as it stands if I were to write my own ending (since space magic is now canon). Shep takes control of the reapers, opens up his own wormhole, travels back in time to 2006 and eats Casey Hudson's cereal, cause he's a badass. Kidding, but I've been worried about the ending and only about the endings since I saw Hudson's approval of Deception.
Honestly, I think things would have been better had they just done a larger version of the suicide mission. Based on war assets and you pick and choose squads or races for different tasks, etc. The literal DEM (starchild) choice could just be something that momentarily disrupts the reapers, etc. Text endings for the basic future of the galaxy. Though I do love the indoctrination theory and they really could do something with that, even say having Shepard being the final boss - saren 2.0 (for control or synthesis) and you take the role of your li in the fight or most talked to crew member with no li. Wouldn't mind hearing Shepard "I am the Harbinger of your perfection" I think that would dark enough to satisfy the "no happy end" people. Destroy breaking indoctrination, could fight reaper TIM or even reaper Anderson. Then text based epilogue if you can't afford any more voice/cinematic. If space boy ghost is Harbinger and he controls the reapers, killing him in shepard, anderson or tim should confuse, stop or bring the shields of other reapers down.
