To be completely honest, I'd play a failed Mass Effect 2 playthrough to see what would happen. One with all squadmates dying, and another with just Garrus as a Sole-Survivor with the option to play as him in Mass Effect 3. I think that would be pretty darn awesome. To me, that would truly be "your decisions have an ultimate impact on the game's ending." There really couldn't be anything more ultimate than letting Shepard die and having to play with the consequences.
