Yes. I strikes me as odd that despite overcoming all odds to be with my love, I still end up with a super tragic scene. Not one moment of happiness for Tali? I would have just settled for a minute-long clip of Shepard saying "I love you." and kissing her. Why can't I go on and have a final set of dialogue options with my friends and crew? I would like a scene not unlike the one during Priority: Earth where Shepard can talk to each one individually before giving a rousing speech.

Again, Dragon Age did it right. Before the final battle, you're companions had a few parting words of advice. If you died, you got a cool funeral scene. If you live, you get to talk to them one more time, because you made sacrifices and survived. That's about as fair as it can get. There was no "proper" ending, but it still gave us a great deal of closure for the characters, not just the world.
