That's probably part of the reason why there's a lot of people who think that there are less endings than there really are: because what's the point of playing an RPG if you don't do side quests? To get the worse endings, you have to avoiding playing parts of the game.

I'm going to have to calculate that one of these days: how much in War Assets you get if you do everything that gets you War Assets while making the choices that give you the least amount of War Assets.
