      What people were clamoring for was a real ending, not this Deus Ex Machina BS.
      
      You like sad endings. Good for you. But guess what? You know what gaming is supposed to be? Escapism. From what, you ask. Reality. Reality has more than enough sad endings for me to stomach. I, and many others, went through this game hoping for a satisfying end to a journey that started five years ago.
      
      Bioware not only dropped the ball, they threw it through the floor and claimed it was 'art'.
