Why did you decide to end the series with Deus Ex Machina, a highly criticized plot device, and believe that it wouldn't insult your player base?

"Why was your artistic integrity more important than the decisions I'd made over the last 5 years when it came to the ending?"

Why did you think that it was good storytelling to replace the Protagonist (Shep) and the Antagonist (Reapers) in the last minutes of the game with the same entitiy?

What really happened?

I have my idea on that since I'm a technical/project lead in software companies for more that 20 years and saw the gradual but inexorable changes in the software industry

Just that every one come clean with it (I know it's kind of utopian dream, since we are in a money driven world).

People most likely can/will forgive a mistake, but not a generic politically correct covering-up. (here again in our current world it is the rule & reality)

You know we are complaining because we still have feeling for BW and its achievements and I think most of the players want to have more games like DA and ME1 & 2 & 95% of ME3 :)

How did the Citidel travel so far so fast?
Why was that beam a transport to the Citidel?
Why so little defense on this transport beam to the Citidel?
Why did Habinger run away?
Why did I not confront Harbinger at all in ME3 when he was built up so much in ME2?
Where did my gear go after I got hit with the Reaper shot before beaming up to Citidel?
How did TIM get to the Citidel?
How did TIM control Shepard?
How did the Squad I was with on Earth make it back to the Normandy?
Who is this Star Child?
Who/Why/What is this Star Child?
Who/Why/What is this Star Child?
Who/Why/What is this Star Child?
Who/Why/What is this Star Child?
Why did you give me a new important character (Star Child ) in the last 5 minutes with 14 lines of dialog to understand what the hell he was / did / means …. Etc…
Why did all the work I did to prepare (EMS, Paragon, Choices) have so little effect on the outcome?
Why did you want us to speculate Vs closing the story like ME2 closed out the Collector conflict?
Why 3 push button choices for the end?
Why did I shoot the Destruction tube to start it? Why would I walk into that and blow myself up?
………………………. The list is endless………..


Oh… 1 question - Who the #@$%$#% came up with this ending? Fire them all they ruined this game.

That's an obvious no.


How exactly is it an OBVIOUS no? If you take into account how out of place the ending was, it is natural to infer that something is planned to explain it.


Yeah i don't know if it an obvious no, i strongly suspect an extended cut was pre-planned (much like you get specially extended edition movies) however they decidede to make it free for a limited time.

Were they aware before the release that the ending is full of plotholes and self-conflicting information that can't be clarified - and if not, are they now?

What would you ask them?  In one sentance. 


Was that really the ending you wanted to do?

Honestly, Mass Effect is over at this point but for my trust going forward it's more important to me knowing whether they've lost it fundamentally or whether it was circumstances.

Where's the promised 16 WILDLY DIVERGENT Endings?

What did YOU like about the ending (singular)? Please DEFEND your so called "artistic integrity".

Why did you think A, B, C or RGB was such a great way to end ME?

Why do you think critic reviews are more important than user reviews? (seeing as critics get the game for free and users pay for it)

Why go for a "Speculative" ending in the hopes of getting all your fans "talking" when there is EMPIRICAL evidence that those types of endings are wrought with incredible backlash from fans. Lost or Sopranos anyone?

Inception only had one speculation but for the most part answered everyone's questions and horror films are supposed to be bleak or leave you hanging (but they usually give you strong evidence that everyone dies)

I kind of agree with this.  I've always had that thought due to Mike Gambles tweet about 'if you only knew what we were planning' or something.

Did you honestly think people would like the endings? If so, on what could you possibly have based that on?"
