A lot of things in this game really didn't surprise me. I was expecting a lot of what of what they did both good and bad. The Rannoch and Tuchanka missions anyone who played more than five minutes of any of the earlier games saw coming a mile away,and were awesome. TIM turning into a complete tool was also pretty much a given (and a wasted opportuninty IMO). And yes even the deus ex machina "hey let's try to be all deep and philosophical oops we failed" nonsense at the end, sadly, didn't shock me in the least. (Note to videogame writers everywhere: You are not philosophers. Stop trying to write transcendant metaphysical thesises into the endings of videogames. You can't do it. You will fail.)

But I have to say that I was really expecting, given the theme of saving Earth throughout the series, for the final big decision to be between saving the Earth at the expense of the rest of the galaxy, or admitting the Earth was lost and focusing on the worlds that could be saved.

That to me was what the series was leading up to with things like TIM's constant "humanity first" rhetoric, the decsions concerning the council, and the emotional bonds formed (or not formed) with your alien shipmates. Anyone else feel that way?
