For the most part, I'd agree. I for one enjoyed Mass Effect 2, and its minor flaws can be attributed to bad decisions on BioWare's part, not EA's. However, I do believe the shoddy work by BioWare in certain parts of Mass Effect 3 was a symptom of the same disease that plagued Dragon Age 2's development: Time constraint. Tali's poorly done photo isn't a product of laziness, and it certainly wasn't good quality, it was BioWare trying to make due with little time. BioWare didn't sit down one day and decide "Hey, you know what's fun? Going through the same three dungeons 300 times!", they just had to work with what little time and resources they have. The ending? Well, I don't know if EA is to blame. Making a good, simple ending is easy, and it looks to be more the writers than anything else.
