I felt bad about EDI too, but I'm willing to sacrifice her to save humanity, let alone all the rest of organic life too!

I'd like to have seen an epic battle too, but ideally I'd have seen at least a short scene with all the fleets and ground forces I'd recruited. At the very least, something that had different possible outcomes depending on whether you'd gotten them on your side or not -- like in ME2 where various characters comment on the Normandy upgrades during the space battle before the assault on the Collector base, and various squadmates would live or die depending whether you got each ship upgrade. That would get really interesting in ME3 because some allies are mutually exclusive or nearly so -- you can't get the full support of both the salarians and the krogan, and it's nearly impossible to get both the geth and the quarians, so you wouldn't be able to get a "perfect" ending like in ME3.

It would also have been cool to have been able to call on your allied armies, like in the endgame of Dragon Age: Origins. Have a comm unit strapped on your back in the Earth battles, like a heavy weapon, and use it to call for reinforcements. There'd even be a bit of strategy to it, like in Dragon Age -- you'd call krogan for staying power, STG for fast, deadly strikes, turians for shock troops...

And yes, what the game really needs is a DA:O style epilogue. I don't need fully animated, voiced scenes -- just some still shots with text would be fine. I just really, really want to find out what happens afterward! That's what we're doing this for, right -- the fate of the galaxy? What happens to the krogan after I cure the genophage -- do Wrex and Eve lead them into a renaissance, do they overrun the galaxy, without the mass relays do they end up overpopulating all the nearby habitable systems and dying of disease/ecodisaster/civil war? What happens after I make peace between the quarians and the geth -- do they eventually go to war again, do they grow as parallel societies, do the geth outstrip the quarians' development and end up caring for them as pets, do the quarians and geth merge into a single cyborg race? How do the turians and asari recover from the devastation of their homeworlds? What happens to all these fleets suddenly stranded in human space after the destruction of the Sol mass relay? I wanna know!
