Yes. Dragon Age endings have always given me more closure.
I don't know why so many people are surprised by the ME3 endings though. Mass Effect endings have NEVER given closure and always been left up to speculation. This is not news.
What?
ME1: You kill Saren, Sovereign blows up. Very little room for speculation.
ME2: Collector base blows up/gets taken by Cerberus, huge Reaper fleet is coming. Very little room for speculation.
ME3: WTF JUST HAPPENED?
and ME3: You defeat the Reapers. Neither the ME1 ending or the ME2 ending end with any sort of hint toward the future. They're entirely based on the present. And defeating the reapers was the present.
No, big rainbow explosions does not equal defeating the reapers.
Let's look at each end specifically:
Destroy: Reapers killed, that much is clear. But it also "Destroys most technology"... does that mean the Quarians get killed too due to their implants? Is the fleet above Earth now going to just break and crash? Are the worlds that require tech to survive just going to all die now?
Control: "Control" the reapers, but how much control? Can they rebuild the relays? What exactly happened with Shepard? Is he some kind of Overmind, or is it just that the Reapers all share his way of thinking?
Synthesis: Fuse tech and organic... WTF DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!?!
Additionally, now that the Relays are destroyed, what does that mean for the species of the galaxy? Will they be able to get home? Will they even survive? Will the Relays ever get rebuilt? Is spaceflight still going to be used, or is it basically useless now? Will the races ever see each other again?
And who survived from the citadel? Supposedly some of them got off, but who? Is Bailey, Aria, the councellors, or anyone we care about alive? Where did they go? Are they just stuck somewhere due to the Relays being destroyed?
And our squadmates. They're stuck on a random jungle planet. Does that mean that Garrus and Tali will just die? Does Tali's suit even still work? Is there any edible food on the planet to begin with? What about Joker? He can't survive without medication, so is he just going to die? Why was he running in the first place?
Speaking of Joker, why was the Normandy being damaged in the first place? Were all ships hit like that?
I don't know about you, but I never had this many annoying questions at the end of ME1 and ME2
Similar questions could be asked about the events of Mass Effect 1. But we know what happened because of your actions thanks to Mass Effect 2. And I'm sure that in the next game we'll find out what happened with most of the questions you asked. I wouldn't start complaining just yet.

Probably, Dragon Age is done by a completely different development team. It's not their fault ME3 had a nonsensical ending.

Dragon Age 2 was lackluster, but by itself, I wouldn't be compelled to avoid DA3.
Even without DA2, however (let's just say that is was DA:O only so far), I would not feel comfortable buying DA3 until months after release with rave reviews thanks to ME3.
I think ME3 has hurt initial DA3 sales. Adding DA2, I predict a dismal release (but I'm no market analyst).
Sad because ME3 isn't a bad game. The ending just overshadows it so much that I lose focus on the rest.
Will you be an early adopter to DA3?
Would you go as far as getting pre-order and/or collector editions?
