Oh don't worry, the Extended Cut will be great writing materiel, I'm sure :)

That said, BioWare has stated they are only going to add clarity and closure. That's great, and it will likely make it somewhat better (Although it cannot get much worse) but that doesn't address the whole issue. In order to make it a suitable ending, they need to make major changes. First and foremost, they need to retcon the God Child out of existence, because it only further complicates an already convoluted conflict that wasn't alluded to very much, if at all. If you look under the hood of the story, the main issues stem form the use of a dues ex machina and a newly-introduced plot superseding the long-established main conflict. This conflict was only seen in Mass Effect (with the Geth invading) but that was nullified in later titles. The Reapers are apparently partly organic, so that isn't any kind of example, and the geth can't be used as an example of the created rebelling against the creator, because BioWare put them into a sympathetic light. In fact, the Reapers are responsible for them invading in the first place, so what did they actaully ever accomplish?
