But if there's a
"truth" about the structure of a fictional work it is that that which the author intended is the actuality. ME's writers do not intend IT to be the valid end.
And how is being an IT supporter a "true fan spirit" of Bioware when it's a fan-made ending?
There's intentions and then there's interpretations. I think since BioWare made an RPG that they are quite comfortable with the thought that their fans can interpret their game however they please.
You can scream all you want that the people in this thread are not "true fans" because they aren't on board with your interpretation, that they live in some fantasy world where BioWare implicitly accepts their theory, but I'm telling you, there is no reason to waste the energy in trying to tell others what they should be thinking about a game and how they should be spending their free time.
I mean, I'm spending my free time writing this because you brought up the term "true fan," and I'm like "oh. 'true fan...' you're one of those people." I don't want to really derail the thread trying to describe what one of those people are, suffice to say, it's one of those people who seems to flip their **** at the rpg table because someone decides the party isn't taking the game seriously enough.
