Honestly, I went into the game thinking the endings would be that way. I thought that, depending on the choices you made from the previous to games, that there could be numerous different endings. You're right, more variety was expected (I personally expected like eight different ones) but we kinda all got stuck with the same ending.

Whether its supposed to be that way to set up a future title or what is beyond me, but if Mass Effect was going to end in such a linear way I would've preferred a bit of a warning rather than a blatant lie about diversity by one of the developers.
