RoboticWater- Once again sorry, but most players don't even know there's a Bioware forum much less post here and give their opinion.
And yes most players disliked the ending. A big poll was taken not long after launch with 90% saying it sucked. Many polls on various websites afterward continue to confirm this. Stop twisting the truth.
Yes it is Shepard 2.0. How else can people view a N7 human Mass Effect hero?
I certainly don't see Twitter aflame with "we want multiple races," nor reddit, nor anywhere that isn't the BSN. All I've seen is mostly praise and hype. This should make sense. Anyone who likes Mass Effect enough to keep up with it, but not enough to know about the forums probably doesn't care enough about its development to demand an extra feature. Most fans probably just want to jump in, shoot stuff, and explore the universe.
I doubt any of those polls are statistically relevant because of "voluntary response bias." Only those who care about Mass Effect 3's ending enough would be willing to participate in a poll about it, and thus the participants in the poll likely over-represented the population of people outraged and under-represented the population who were fine with the ending and just didn't really care. I don't like the ending at all, but I will concede that most people probably do.
Also, the PC is not the N7 dude: "[The main character] actually not the character you saw in the trailer"
