The ending just felt detached from the rest of the game. I don't think that the choices in the end were bad per se, but the lack of closure leaves me very sad. For me, synthesis was the only choice, Controlling the Reapers is what TIM wanted, but that's not what my Shepard would do. And destroying all synthetics? I mean, that would pretty much invalidate everything my Shepard stands for, everything he's been doing all game long, trying to resolve conflicts, bringing people together. And what happens to the characters I've grown so attached to? What happens to Ash? She was heartbroken after losing Shepard in ME2. I can't even imagine how she feels when she steps off the Normandy, what the rest of her life will be like after losing Shepard again. Ash and Shepard saying that they love each other was one of the most beautiful moments in this game for me. And now I'm just hoping that she got pregnant so she has something left, something worth living for. I know there's no hint at it, but I just don't want her to break. And what about the galaxy? All those millions of crew and infantry stranded in the ruined Sol system? I want to know what happens to all those planets and species we've fought so hard to save and unite. The few quarians and geth who remained on Rannoch are probably the only ones looking at a halfway survivable future. But the rest of the galaxy is in ruins. And did everyone on the Citadel die? What of Ash's sister? I just... Well... I can't really make anything of this. It just feels empty.
