The problem with the ending is that the continuity of the 'Mass Effect Universe' as we know it ceases to exist. Sure, there are millions of hypotheses on how races could continue surviving afterward or how they could all simply die out. But the point is, no one can say conclusively what would happen next. The design of Mass Effect, by it nature, enthralls the player in the status quo, the Citadel, the Relays, the galactic community. When rug is pulled out, where does that leave Mass Effect? Hopefully, if they plan to continue Mass Effect, they will put enough thought into answering that question that it will appear seamless and restore some of the status quo which people loved about ME and ME2.
