I don't like the Dialogue scenes that take place after the Harbinger Beam.

I HATE that effing Starchild, I still hate the three choices, and I still think it's a lackluster ending to the most engrossing video game series of my life.

I don't know that I will ever replay this trilogy the way I had intended, since the day I beat the Original Mass Effect back in November of 2007. The ending still leaves a bad taste in my mouth and all I can think of is how great it could (should) have been.

However, I also feel obligated to say, that after having watched my EC ending (I picked destroy) I feel better about the Mass Effect Trilogy as a whole. For the first time since March I feel a little inclination to replay with another character, so that has to mean that the Extended Cut did some good.

I guess the best way I can describe it is this:

When I finished the game in March, it just felt like you guys had lost your passion for your work, for the Mass Effect Franchise. The characters you guys created were so lovable and amazing, the sense of player control in the narrative felt so real, and the main conflict of the story made me want to to never stop playing.

I wanted to stop the Reapers. I wanted to save this galaxy and the characters who inhabited it.

The ending of this game took all of that away from me in March. I sat through the Starchild scene and it was truly the most unsatisfying thing I could have imagined and then it was over. As abrupt an ending as I'd ever seen in a work of fiction.

I felt cheated. I felt wronged. Worst of all I felt like you guys didn't care. How could you not have known these endings were going to make alot of people upset? Nobody said anything? I find it hard to believe.

Then your initial reactions, when the fans voiced their concerns, was awful. It's understandable why. You were under so much scrutiny and it was everywhere. I watched these forums. I saw the twitter harrassment. It was out of hand. I understand.

Tonight I feel a little better. The EC had some of that Bioware magic again. Watching the Crew of the Normandy hang Shepards Plaque on the memorial literally gave me goosebumps. The endings still aren't what I want but they never will be.

Why?

Because I wanted them to be right in March and that can never happen.

I'm not going to day one purchase a Bioware game for the forseeable future. I might pick them up if the majority of the fan reviews are positive. If I know going in that the game wont disappoint me but I still wanted to thank the Employee's of Bioware for the EC.

It reminded me why I love your games, if only for a minute.

I wish you guys luck with your future projects, I truly hope that I will one day pre-order another Bioware game and eagerly anticipate it's arrival like a kid on Christmas Morning.

It won't be anytime soon though.
