Another interesting reading as usual and I agree in most of the points except that I always fell conflicted between the Destroy and the Refusal Ending (or the "D" ending). In destroy you do what you were set to do since ME1 which makes sense, but the cost...the cost seems to high for me since I made peace between Quarians and the Geth and helped EDI feel "Alive" as she puts it. Is hard to kill them to achieve my goals and I feel a little selfish because I don't want my Shepard to die and I want him to reunite with his LI and crew ( I think its the least he/she deserves). Is a damn genocide but I guess sacrifices must be made. In the other hand my first reaction to the Refusal ending was like: really bioware? When the kid said "SO BET IT" I felt like it was Hudson and Walters saying "Fine! You want to refuse our ideas so everyone dies! Muahahaha xD" Something like that. But after reading/watching some reviews on the web and find some people opinions I found myself thinking that this ending, even if everyone dies, is the one that fits Shepard personality and ideas the most. He/she always fight for their own choices and seems out of character for them to accept some weird Casper kid ideas and just go trough with it. Yeah some people may say that Shepard lost but I think that in the end we won: yes everyone we knew and loved from the series died but the Reapers got destroyed in the next cycle, and I believe that they probably went after the Reapers when they were still weak and manage to kill them and all because of Liara's message. And you know what? They didn't do what the Reapers (and the Catalyst) wanted but what they wanted. So ultimately like Shepard says brilliantly : "If I die I die but it at least I die knowing that I did everything I could to stop you" In this ending Shepard and the galaxy perish but fighting for their ideals- Victory through sacrifice! Anyways I still feel like any of this endings do the game justice and are dumb as hell. But what can we do...just Hope that some miracle happens I guess. Hehe sorry for the long post!
