Fewer people are complaining because we, or at least I, got what we wanted: Closure. I didn't feel like the original ending really said goodbye to anyone or the ME universe, it just felt like Bioware, or maybe EA, was saying "to be continued" at the end of the credits. I don't feel that way with the Extended Cut, those last scenes provided the sense of finality I needed to appreciate the ending. I felt like my final choice mattered with the added narration instead of just being a cutscene with a color-swap. I feel satisfied, that's it. I wish Bioware had this in the ending from the start, but it's over and done with now. It's the end of Mass Effect, and I'm sad, not angry, to see it go.
