@Legionwrex - If Shepard chooses anything but the Destroy option that results in her becoming indoctrinated, Hypothetically with her last ounce of free will she could do what is needed to stop the reapers, before doing as Seren and committing suicide.

Conversely, Shepard could choose to not resist the indoctrination for one final time, and end up failing. To provide closure, her companions can then be shown fighting and dying for there family and she people, as the Prothians. Liara could be shown depositing her database that contains the sumtotal of knowledge of this cycle's existence, as well as it's knowledge of the Reapers. Bitter sweet I know, but it would reflect Vigil and his teams final act, as they know their efforts are futile they do everything they can for the following cycle.

It would provide what I was expecting; it was said all along that ME2 was a suicide mission - and still the results varied from everyone surviving, and most dying (including Shepard). To give extreme choice between failing, but doing what you can for the following cycle, to being heavily decimated but succeeding, to a happy ending where thanks to the massive fleet and army and assets you've assembled.

I don't have too much faith in BioWare anymore, I won't expect like I did prior to ME's release. We'll just have to wait and see unfortunately.
