I think it was great. Glad we could question the Catalyst some more to learn more about the Reapers. I was a bit bothered that they weren't totally explained, but I think Bioware did the right thing by keeping them mysterious. Learning their true nature on Ilos evoked such a feeling of horror, which stayed because they weren't explained. I can't explain it, but I love the extra scene at the Conduit charge. Garrus' refusal to leave, even though his armor was burning, was just great. Really summed up the bromance, right down to "I was always the better shot". As for the epilogue, awesomely done. The stills were good, and I loved seeing Thessia and Tuchanka during the end. One of my favorite parts was Zaeed lounging in his chair. Retirement suits him(even if he's still wearing battle armor). I love/hate that my Shepard's survival is still just a breath, but I mostly like it. Leaves what comes after to my imagination. Would have loved a reunion with Miranda, though. All in all, pretty great, pretty much how I expected it to end, sans Geth destruction. I figure we could make more, though. On a funny note, I accidentally screwed up royally my first time doing the new stuff. My brother and I have a tendency to shoot the Catalyst (what he calls "Cappin' this little s**t"). Didn't know this triggered the refusal, so my reaction was a mix of laughing and cursing in rage.
