Do you know what I wanted?
I wanted an ending where Shepard dies. The Reapers go on unopposed. Kill the crew of the Normandy, finish Earth and just continue with their galactic conquest forever. Not as my "real ending" mind you, but I wanted to at least do that ONCE, like I did in ME2 where EVERYONE died.
But we don't even get that OPTION. That's what hurts - we don't get the OPTIONS. Every ending is virtually the same as the other one.
Also, you know what's really funny? Someone found an old interview of Casey Hudson pretty much flat out lying.
It's not so much that there is a fixed set of alternative endings, but all of your choices really determine how things end up in the universe. So, how you approach the end-game, for every player, you're going to have a different set of results in terms of who is alive and who is dead, and which civilisations survived and which ones were wiped out.There is a huge set of consequences that start stacking up as you approach the end-game. And even in terms of the ending itself, it continues to break down to some very large decisions. So it's not like a classic game ending where everything is linear and you make a choice between a few things - it really does layer in many, many different choices, up to the final moments, where it's going to be different for everyone who plays it.
Yeah, bullshit.
