[Havoc]

Just finished the game and I agree that the endings aren't very satisfying. Played trough 3 games trying to be the good guy and in the end non of it really matters because the only choice you really get to make as a player is the color of the explosions.

Maybe Bioware chose a really really REALLY ballsy path by creating a very deep and philosophical ending. Maybe there is more to it with the indoctrinating theory. But in the end I play games with a good story to see the story come to an end eventually. Not to get to a point where the story says: Ok here's some last tid bits of info, now fill in the rest yourself as you see fit.

The choices as they are aren't bad, and could have been worked out to some great and different endings. But instead of showing what consequences your decision had, you get basically the same cut scene for every ending. The Reapers leave or are destroyed. The Citadel is destroyed. Shepard dies. The Normandy crash lands on some (unknown) planet after barely escaping/being caught in (???) the blast. Only three of your squad members step out of the ship and we only get to guess at what happened to the rest.

They had an awesome concept for an ending and for some reason decided to rape the shit out of it. It's really sad and frustrating really. Especially since the story leading up to the final 3 choices was so deep and mysterious.

The developers say they like to keep the game mysterious, I just call this crappy writing. And if they come up with a DLC that provides an answer to all those questions it just goes to show it's all just a money tactic.
