Thank you. It did take me most of the day to write it.

Synthesis and Control probably provide a better sense of closure, since Shepard is dead and gone. What I wanted however, was probably something more akin to Dragon Age: Origins. The story was enticing, you got the feelings your choices mattered, and you got a decent sense of closure. You were in control of your character's destiny, and despite being the first instalment in the saga, it provided enough closure that you could just end the series right there. It was just a perfect story all around, I think.

Somehow, BioWare was able to make the game, have it published by EA, and still not sacrifice their artistic integrity. Ah, the good 'ole days.
