Just finished the game. Well, I say just finished. I had to repeat the ending, because I thought the catalyst was talking a load of crap and accidentally shot him. Although funny, that part seemed to be a bit of a laugh at the expense of people who weren't happy with the endings. It's like they're going "Oh, still don't like the ending? Tough! Now everyone is dead!". It's like that 'rocks fall, everybody dies' thing I read about (on Tvtropes I think, lol)
(Edit: missed a bit out when I copy/pasted lol)
But yeah.... It wasn't so much "clarification" as "Inserting new stuff and removing obvious plot holes and making the hints to IT less obvious". I mean, it hasn't clarified the old ending. I could not have concluded much of what happened from what I got in the previous ending without a HUGE load of spacemagic, and shoe-horning illogical bits in (which this new ending seems to have done).
That bit about the Normandy really confused me. Shepard and their squad were running along, a car was hit by a laser sending it flying. Shepard's squad seem to narrowly avoid this then fall into a pool of what looks like Ribena (or Vimto). Shepard calls up Joker, who then casually flys the space ship down to the ground to pick your squad up. I mean, it's not as if there is a war going on, and it's not as if the Reapers are accurate enough to hit flying shuttle craft. Tali was also covered in blood, and surely if it caused that much damage she'd have at least caught the flu and died or something :S
The ending did go into more detail (not clarify) about things, but it wasn't a great ending. It was good, but it just shows how awful the original one was. This ending just seems to give proof for the lazy bioware/terrible writers theories. I mean, I'm glad I played it, but it wasn't worth all the additional time, money and effort they used to fix the original. Really, this ending should have been in from the start.
But again, I just keep thinking that to make the old ending fit in, they've had to add a lot of extra information, which requires us to just ignore the extra plotholes, logic-failures and everything.
I suppose I'm just a bit annoyed that the ending still isn't as good as I thought it was going to be and that (in my mind) they've removed a lot of things whihc pointed to IT (or at least made the literal endings more believable now).
