It would have needed the From Ashes DLC in the game from the start, too, or avoid having a living prothean at all; else you get too much trope - plus, day-1 DLC is never a good thing when trying to win over fans.
The problem with the ending is what is implied with each choice: genocide, totalitarianism, forced eugenics, and suicide.
Even the Extended Cut didn't really address these issues that people had, it just added clarity to the choices and the aftermath of the endings. There was still a lack of scaling consequence with each. I get the impression that they didn't need clarity, they needed an overhaul. But that time has long since passed.
I simply feel that if Leviathan had been in from the beginning, we would have had some warning or foreshadowing about the star child, and it would not seemed to have come completely out of left field in the end. And If Extended Cut had been in, we would not have been asking "Wait the mass relays blew up, and everyone's stranded! What happens to everyone now??" and we would not have been as mad as we were. Yeah, some people would still be pissed about the choices they have to make, but at least there would be some closure with them.
But then again, people just may have complained a bunch about it anyway. People just seem to like finding things to complain about. 'Specially on the internetz.
Some foreshadowing would have been great, but hindsight and all that. We can all sit on the sidelines and say it could have been better, but we aren't on the development team so we have no idea what other variables were at work.
I just have to wonder where it all went wrong.
ME3 was, hands-down, the best game of the series, in my opinion. It was one of the best games I've played in my life. Out of a good 30-40 hour experience, 150-200 hours for the trilogy as a whole, only the last 10 minutes were 'bad'.
...It's weird how much of a difference those ten minutes made. 0_o
If you think of the journey and not the destination as much, the game really didn't go wrong.
I never understood the ''Cerberus is the enemy again'' concept, for the Paragons, yes, it makes sense.
For the Renegades, not so much, Renegade Shepard was more then willing to go along with TIM at the end of ME2, if he kept up.
''You brought me back to lead this war and that is what I'm going to do. If you can keep up, great, if not, I'll stop the Reapers without you.''
Well, in a war of that scale, there has to be casualties.
