I will restate my opinion and wish. I wish for Bioware to consider taking another look at this franchise. I am demanding nothing and I'm not asking that this be forced on everyone. I am asking Bioware to consider this as a whole-reuniting vast groups of fans with the larger community by assessing the validity of their wishes. I do not want certain preferences to be removed so that other players cannot have the ending "choices" they love and worship. I am merely asking that Bioware consider truly making something additional that will be more inclusive, allowing others to have the same value that those calling me selfish now have.
I was taught what selfish means because I grew up in a large family. It meant I didn't always get my way in every possible way. So, I'm not asking for that. If I were I'd want the endings redone. I was taught that being unselfish means sharing. What this post seems to have garnered is a lot of people that even while expressing indications they themselves are not truly happy with the endings they got, somehow see it as unselfish to protest requests for an ending they might actually like.
What I see mostly is the biggest oddity of all: people are saying making an ending like I suggest would be bad because most people would want it. If that's the case, I think it should be clear to Bioware-there's money to be made in making a path forward for this galaxy.
People want to debate the rightness or wrongness of the endings. Ok, fine. But there's no real debate to be had. We can't agree and some won't listen, instead merely reveling in out-talking others through nauseating repetition. That isn't intelligent debate. But again, if you see the endings as morally sound, or as moral dilemmas that needed to beyou are not convincing anyone here, no matter what. You've built your walls. I see them as immoral choices that did not and should not have been there in place of the true goal. This was not real life, but a video game for fun and entertainment. We cannot and will not agree.
You who see these ideas as morally ok or as great moral choices that should exist should be happy. You have that. If I ask them to create additional, extra, non-core material it should not threaten you, but for some reason it does. I think a poster has repeatedly said it best for you. You have chosen an ending that so far is best for you. I am happy for you. But if another ending came along you are afraid others might want that one more. I don't get this at all. For some reason, some of you think as long as you are happy that's all that matters. If the roles were reversed, I sincerely would want as many people as possible to love the game in its entirety just like me; if some were "left out" I would worry that this might impact whether more DLC will be forthcoming-fewer sales means less money for more quality content. And perhaps you should worry, even some at IGN are not proclaiming Leviathan to be a huge success. I do want more content, but I want meaningful content of the type that can draw fans back.
Again, I don't want to change anything for you and I wasn't even asking for only one Shepard lives kind of ending. I clearly asked them to perhaps consider making a fully functioning crucible that targets reapers only and that based on what you do might indeed have real collateral damage, explosions that could destroy vast numbers of people, the Normandy, Shepard's friends, and Shepard-or even have Shepard live while the LI dies. Along with that one path, one way forward to get to a true victory where only the reapers (of all living beings) are destroyed. Destruction would still exist and horrid things will have happened-those are the costs of war, not arbitrary, contrived choices IMO.
I'm trying to be rather unselfish, because what I ask for is not some huge retcon or fix (that I could dream of), but a way to make this somewhat agreeable. I am asking for this so as to extend the life of the game, to encourage future DLC and perhaps even games of this ilk (and of quality), and yes because it's what I'd like. Others have what they like-I think it would be singularly unselfish of them to want others to be happy, too.
