WE ARE SHEPARD,WE ARE THE CITADEL,WE ARE THE CREW and WE have invested almost as much Time and Love for THIS UNIVERSE as any Creator be it Synthetic,Alien or Human. 

  CAN YOUHEAR US???...repeat,please ACKNOWLEDGE............

Like many I've been with the Mass Effect series from the start.....ME 3 campaign is great,the multiplayer was even well done,.. but the Ending(s) were a real disappointment......Like some synthesized Stanley Kubrick space odyssey with way too little time or history invested in the cut scenes or the type of ending it was..........It felt hollow,devoid of purpose....the opposite of emotionally satisfying (a choice of colors).

I wasn't really expecting Shepard to live (it's the end of the trilogy)- but I really missed the good feelings I got at the endings of the prior 2 games.The great writing,acting,graphics and music are meant to,......and do stir emotions!

    " An ending showing the aftermath,Shepard waking briefly from a comma or some kind of a funeral,a memorial.
A galaxy of races united picking up the pieces - basically some real sign of hope that what Shepard and his crew had accomplished (what "We" accomplished) was not in vain...................The ending(s) as it stands is more of a surrealistic starchild choice that makes little difference to the short conclusion of a long magnificent trilogy. I don't buy these EA sponsored indoctrination theories.People who have been touched by the remarkable Universe of the Mass Effect series and its characters Deserve a lot More..................."

It's not a movie, it is an "INTERACTIVE" Game ---------------------------- WE THE GAMERS --------------------------------

WE ARE SHEPARD,WE ARE THE CITADEL,WE ARE THE CREW and WE have invested almost as much Time and Love for THIS UNIVERSE,OUR UNIVERSE as any Creator be it Synthetic,Alien or Human.

-------Good deeds are not often rewarded in real life but up until now they were in the Mass Effect World.------------- 

........CAN YOUHEAR US???.........repeat please ACKNOWLEDGE............

This is Alliance Cruiser Roflcopter responding. We confirm your signal.

Really though OP, I'm fully on board with the message. I really don't know what more I can say to get anyone else to understand it though. Why isn't there simply a range of endings, like ME 2?

Real world reason?  Blank slate moving forward.  It's nearly impossible for future content, which is going to be a new story with a new protagonist (yes, a small assumption there, but a likely one imo) to take into account the range of personalities players attribute to their vision of Shepard.  So it's better if s/he is gone in future games.

Traditionally, the hero sacrifices themself for the greater good at end the of an epic saga.  Wether it's a literal sacrifice, like Beowulf, or a more subtle sacrifice like Frodo in LoTR, the great hero of the tale is frequently the sacrifice that buys the world a future.

I realize that small consolation for many people.  I'm not even saying it HAD to be that way.  But the scale of the disater in teh galaxy should be respected.  An ending where I got the girl (Ashley, in my case) and all my friends survived would have made the near-holocost the rest of the galaxy just went through lose a whole lot of it's impact on the players, because, persoanlly, they've sacrificed nothing.

And all of that is separate from the state of the endings we recieved, I would like to point out, because the QUALITY of the manner in which they closed this story is the really big problem.  Which is to say, it was devoid of catharsis or closure, and raised far more questions than it answered.

Still better storytelling than the end of ME3.
