 * "That completely ignores how your Effective Military Strength impacts the ending"

Oh, you mean ALL SIX variations (mind you, I'm talking about the pre-EC ending)? The reason I didn't mention them is because they're just so insignificant. Really, how far does EMS affect the ending? Do you know? That's right, it really doesn't. All you get is a different explosion of Earth and maybe get to see Shepard's last breath.

And the reason no one freaked out over the revelations in DA:O is because they weren't bats*** insane. Alistair want to sacrifice himself? He's a very selfless person and devout Grey Warden. Warden's have to sacrifice themselves to kill the Archdemon? Explains why Duncan said only a Grey Warden could kill them, perfectly logical. Morrigan had a ulterior motive for joining the Warden's party? Who DIDN'T see that coming? See, with those you could actually go back to the beginning and say, "Oh, that makes plenty of sense." I doubt anyone other than those with god-like powers of precognition could see ME3's ending coming.
