Having finished the game myself, I have to say that the entire ending sequence just felt "off".

Not because it created more questions than it answered, but because a lot of things didn't add up. I have a strong belief that we haven't seen the end of Shepard, especially after seeing that he's still alive at the end of the Destroy ending. But he was alive in the midst of a pile of impact rubble, and that leaves a very, very large room for interpretation. My interpretation? He's still alive after Harbinger's laser hit him and that whole sequence happened in his head.

Got to process this a bit more, but the ending didn't made me angry, sad or pissed off. On the other hand, it left me curious, extremely curious as to what's going to be Bioware's handling of the game in the future months.

 

Half the denizens of the internet have concluded that Shepard is undergoing indoctrination in the ending, and only the Destroy option rejects the indoctrination - but even that's metaphorical. The other half of the internet has latched onto this theory as being essentially true, though hope for ending DLC varies from person to person.

I've read the indoctrination theories and they do seem to have some fair points. Indoctrination or not, it is a fact that they made Shepard to be alive at the end of the Destroy ending and that the enviroment in which he seems to be alive has to be rubble from the impact of Harbinger's laser as there's no way that he could have survived a potential destruction of the Citadel, if the endings really happened. 

As I understand it, it is one of those endings that is supposed to be interupted however the mind wants to. I call it the writers could not come up with a better ending so they leave it for us to fill in the blanks ending. Hopefully this is eventually cured with a real ending. Also am I the only one that chose the middle path, being the only good choice. (All three choices aren't great, but I felt the middle to be the good one.)

Also sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, as I can't see what I wrote when using the spoiler tags. 

You might have a point there. At this moment, i'm still processing the ending, to see if I missed anything. It could also be that they did this (the endings as they are) just to mess with us. I won't condone them if they actually did it just to get us to pay for an "ending" DLC, but it could also be that the leaked script forced their hand into doing this.

By the way, you can just write your message and then put spoiler tags over it by selecting the paragraf you want and choosing Spoilers in the Styles section afterwards.
