Why are so many of you here scared to say that you wanted a happy ending?

I'm sorry if I am generalising here lol

I think everyone had this "spectrum of endings" in their mind the whole time. On the very right there's the perfect good ending and on the left there's the worst possible ending, where everyone dies; the ending wouldn't have been tied with being Paragon or Renegade (as in being Renegade doesn't automatically fetch you the ending where everyone dies).
Renegade would've probably just been more sacrificial to get results, and Paragon probably trying too hard to save everyone (maybe even ending up dead himself just to save the others, like the

Spoiler
.). Then there's the middle, where people survive, but important people might die etc.

I think alot of people expected that the ending would be like a suicide mission to define what would happen to the galaxy. People would live or die according to their actions, and if they chose wrong, the whole galaxy would be obliterated.
At least I got the image of being able to choose your ending from what was said in the pre-release developer interviews.

Instead, pretty much the whole mass effect universe gets destroyed. Yeah, sure I knew such an ending would've been possible and I was ready to get my Shepard killed. I had it in the back of my head every single moment that I had to make a choice. I always kept thinking what'd happen if I chose wrong.

But I never ever would've believed that there would be just the "galaxy gets ****ed; the end" -ending with different colours. After I saw the "different" endings, rather than having a "spectrum of endings" in my mind I had a spectrum of colours.

I'm convinced by the indoctrination theory. If the extended cut will just revolve around the same bull**** without clearing any illogicalities and misconceptions in a senseful matter, I will just refuse to believe it and rather believe the indoctrination theory and be happy lol. Too bad the indoctrination theory ending leaves us just speculating of what would happen next, as the game just ends in a "cliffhanger".

But in the end it doesn't even matter. Oh now I feel like listening to some Linkin Park.


that is spot on to what I expected.
