Though I might be a bit bias here due to personal experience. I was a venomous, die-hard hater of the ending for quite some time before I really delved into the lore and came to realize that many of my complaints weren't actually real and that answers to my questions where there in the lore. Still not happy with the ending but not as against it as I used to be. If someone had just corrected me about my misconceptions sooner I could have saved myself over a year or bitterness.

 

 

So....you're in the same boat I was in when it came to Loghain in Origins. Die-hard hater of him until I looked into the details. Then it's easier to take a step back and go "I don't have to like the ending or the man, but I can understand it/him."

I actually think the ending is digestible after Extended Cut but for some reason when I argue about it, I keep assuming things are like in the original which is how I most remember it because I saw it over and over again and couldn't believe it back in march 2012. It's like a wound that will never heal.

That said, I don't think the ending is great, only somewhat digestible yet still a thematically confused ending to the trilogy with the slideshow epilogue playing better into the core themes, especially in high-EMS destroy.

I'd say on many levels the extended cut ending is no worse than the other very bad storytelling moments in ME3 whereas originally it far outshines even something as awful as the introduction in Vancouver.

Pretty much. The issue arises online, however, when theres so many people who don't like 'neutral' or 'tamed' opinions on the matter. You're viciously anti-ending and hate EVERYTHING about it, to the last single nook and cranny, or you're a Bioware stooge that loves it. The anti-enders, in my experience anyway, have created this divide between fans where you either have to be against it or for it. Saying anything good about it is shunned upon and labels you as a blind fanboy, as demonstrated earlier.

 

That isn't always the case, of course, and is just a generalization. It's still a scenario I wish didn't exist in the fan community at all. Discussion would be healthier overall if we all kept to the lore and facts. This is especially true to the loud splinter groups that propose their headcanon fanfiction is the only "true" ending and that everyone else is wrong. Though that has certainly died down as of late, most of them are probably on their own fanforums.
