I wouldnt have minded a bittersweet ending either, but there was no sweetness to it at all. It left so much unanswered.

I also don't really see ME3's ending as "dark" as a lot of people are saying. The final image of Joker and EDI standing together to face the dawn of a new synthorganic future seemed pretty optimistic to me. Sure, the galaxy was not the same you one in ME1, but again, Cthulhu robots and all... Bound to happen.

Ya I didnt find the ending dark, maybe those people got the ending where Earth is destroyed? But speaking of Joker and the Normandy, why was it in a Mass Relay jump in the first place? Wasnt it around Earth? And what about everyone else? What happened to Admiral Hackett, or all your other squad mates who should have been on Earth, or the Synth reapers, did they just chill around Earth now?

If you can't tell, I also didn't really mind the details of the ending either. Blending organics and synthetics together (which is the ending I chose) seemed to make some sense on a thematic level and fit fairly well with the rest of the series. I don't know about anyone else, but my Shepard would totally choose that option (I saved the Geth and the Quarians and might have even chosen the Geth over the Quarians if forced... maybe). I didn't mind the choices or that they were there.

Ya, I would have chosen the Geth over the Quarians, I was so sad when Legion sacrificed himself. I think the synthorganic option was the best one.

And one more thing about the crew of the Normandy on that uncharted planet. The human portion of the crew wasnt that big, not big enough to support a new colony of humans without inbreeding, so assuming Liara made it there, does that mean everyone on that planet would eventually be Asari?
