Except that in my Mass Effect trilogy (considering that is is my story) the theme of victory through sacrifice didn't really apply (as a matter of fact, it seems contrary to my paragon Shepard's "the ends don't justify the means" attitude) considering it was avoided with Grunt, Jack, Samara, Miranda etc. As a matter of fact it seemed like the theme was "sacrifice can be avoided".

It's all a moot point. I was (and still am a superfan) who devoted hours. I deserve perfect ending for my perfect playthrough. Whether you or Bioware thinks so is irrelevant in my opinion.
