First of all I am a devoted fan of the Mass Effect trilogy, I have played ME1 more times than I can count, have at least five playthroughs of ME2 and have 3 completed playthroughs with one left right before the cerberus base of ME3, I have bought every story related dlc for all three games. I love the story that you told, HOWEVER I do not like the ending to the story it was three artificial choices provided by a completely new character that completely changed the nature of the main villain throughout the series. Now this could have been attributed to the fact that it is very difficult to end the journey of a hero that we have spent so much time with, this could have been said up until Christopher Nolan created the amazing movie that is called ]The Dark Knight Rises. This is how you end an epic story, it even had a last minute plot twist that completely changed the face of the enemy, BUT IT WORKED. Everyone thought that Bruce Wayne was dead, and they could have even ended with that it was a bittersweet ending that worked, But they did not end there, no they allowed Bruce Wayne to live, and not have to be the hero anymore to JUST LIVE. I would not have had a problem with a single ending path in ME3 if it had been similar to this, where to use the movie for reference. If your EMS was too low (say below 1500) the bomb would not have escaped the city limits and Gotham would have been destroyed, The paralell in ME3 would be obviously that the Reapers would have been defeated. If your EMS was higher (say 1500)) the Bomb would have escaped the city limits, but there would not have been any autopiolet, and Batman would have died, there would be no Italy scene, the parallel in ME3 would be the reapers destroyed, but shepard definitively dead, and no other tacked on casualties (Destroy I am looking at you). Had the EMS been sufficiently high (say 3100) you would get the ending that there was for The Dark Knight Rises, Italy scene and all, the equivalent here would be the destroy ending, again with no tacked on casualties, and instead of the breath scene we would see Shepard with their LI and possibly children, obviously retired. Leaving the door open for sequals that star someone else (possibly Shep's children) Like we got at the end of The Dark Knight Rises, with Robin. This ending would be amazing and still fit with everything else that we were told throuought the series. But maybe instead of just having Starkid we would have Harby still seem like the main villain, and somehow introduce Starkid, which would make more sense.
