There needs to be an ending where the mass relays aren't destroyed. Why spend all the time, all the exhaustive effort to create such a cohesive, beautiful universe full of self-determined characters when the ending rejects the very fabric of that existence?
I understand the artistic element of the endings as they are, but if you were to take a survey of the great tradgedies in literative history, none reject the very framework upon which they are founded: none destroy the galaxy. We're not asking for much, just a glimmer of hope, a moment of closure, that offers hope for the future of the galaxy as it has been masterfully crafted.
The stories of Orpheus, Heracles, and Christ are all heroic tradgedies upon which a poignant narrative is based, just like Mass Effect. But none of those most archetypical stories draw from exclusively from destruction as a means of embodying their respective central themes. The story of Shephard is drawn form these three tales and it should adhere to their essence.
To those who truly appreciate gaming, science fiction, and literature, Mass Effect is turly among the best stories ever told. It needs an ending that inspires hope and acceptance among the most faithful of its followers. Star Wars and Star Trek are the most popular science fiction unvierses because they do just this. Regardless of the chronology of the specific narrative being told, wherever and whenever throughout those universes, there is always a sense of hope that every character is fighting- positively or negatively- for a universe that will outlive them.
Give us an ending that gives us cause to celebrate the past and future of this beautifully crafted universe!
