Yeah, a lot of people hate BioWare for quote, "screwing the ending up," but honestly, if you want someone to blame, blame EA. BioWare wanted to do an ending completely different than what we got. But when they showed it to EA, EA basically said, "change it or we're not publishing." The real ending BioWare had intended was along the lines of dark energy/matter and the Reapers were actually HELPING us, preparing us for something. But EA thought it was too confusing/made you think too much so they made them change it. I would have loved to see their ORIGINAL ending. They got jipped big time.
