It was a slap to the face to all people including me who came up with different ending where the military strength actually matters. My ending had alot of different ways to go, but most of the time players would either get A: Regular ending where the crucible would be ended with how difficult it is to do this determined by your military strength (For example, during the assault on the transport beam some air support would come in and attack Harbinger to distract him a bit if your EMS was 2000 or higher, or Rachni would help you in battle if you had them recruited) where you would activate the crucible. The Crucible would have no God Child, it would just emit a pulse of energy that was lethal to reapers and reaper technologies. It would also cause the citadel to blow up, giving everyone the sad Shepard dies ending that apparently is mandatory other-wise people bitch about it being a "disney ending" I also made it so if your significant other (in my Shepard's case Tali) would be with you when this happens, so you'll die together and have it so I don't feel like an asshole for going through the romance crud just to get myself killed to make her miserable.
