User blog comment:Kaloneous/Mass Effect 3 Ending DLC Denied and PAX/@comment-1341687-20120408014727/@comment-4933332-20120408031933

you are right that the extended DLC could reoslve alot of issues regarding the consequences. However it does not resolve the issue that the choices you make feel contrive and that Shepard behaves out of character

The whole idea of role playing game is that I am Commander Shepard and that Bioware gives me enough options to reflect my opinion and belief on the world. That link between Commander shepard and the gamer was broken with the ending because majority of the players did not trust the catalyst and many wanted to shoot the catalyst who was responsible for all the deaths in the entire series. They wanted a more antagonistic shepard and the choices didn't provide that.

the extended cut could improve the ending but it can never really completely repair it.
