Yes, shepard was injured and i don't expect lengthy inquisitive dialogue about irrelevent information about the reapers that doesn't involve stopping them

However, I do expect that Shepard has enough fight to show resistance to the main villain of the entire series. Shepard has always perceived to me as a character that fights to the end and to their last breath. Well whether you find it believable or not, the ending showed that Shepard just gave up.

This catalyst is the biggest genocidal monster in the history of the universe (they control the reapers), They are responsible for all the deaths that was haunting Shepard during the dream sequence. So even if Shepard was at death throes, it doesn't explain why shepard should trust or believe anything what the catalyst is saying.

Even if it believable (such as shepard was sufffering from concusion or was bleeding to death which made shepard somehow more desperate to do the deal with the devil) how is that satisfying from a narrative perspective.

That a person who was portrayed as someone who was a stubborn fighter at the very last moment was beaten to submission, gave up and was desperate to do whatever the main villain of the tale wants just to end their suffering.

That's as nihilistic as you can get.
