So... it's like the opposite of science? They're a lot like mythologists (or just people who try to prove myths). They start with the conclusion and then try to make clues fit, instead of collecting clues and coming to a rational conclusion.

It's amazing to me how people actually believe that'd be a better ending. What they're saying is, they want an ending where Shepard maybe doesn't get brainwashed, the conflict doesn't get resolved, you have absolutely no choices, and the story is essentially unfinished? And then they just tell us "Oh, it'll be finished in Mass Effect 4. Maybe."

And if anyone can honestly think that's a good idea, they should never write anything. Ever.
