This is simply not true at all! It's a 100% misconception based on people that either:

A) Brought the game pre-EC
B) Misunderstood the theme, philosophy, and messages BioWare was trying to display. One that runs common through most of their games. Extending even to BeamDog and other companies ex-staff/founders went to.
C) Failed to realize that an easter egg was added with the multiplayer ending. A little more was added with the EC but there was a little something cool it seems many people missed ;)
D) People misunderstood the goal of the game since the start of ME1. What the crucible was, and how the War assets/EMS work from a narrative design point. It seems as most seem to look at it as a mathematical based system without realization that all of the endings hit +5000. Each one is accessible at a certain point, and one exceeds that limit for a very specific reason. By narrative design. This seems to be the most common misconception. hence why it's all head canon now.

A) What is EC? Extended Cut? If so, they did that updated ending because everyone moaned. I played though the entire story, did pretty much all extra missions I could and still my Shepard said "We aren't ready for this." I couldn't do anymore and I hadn't touched the MP at that point.

B) Which was? choice of organics vs machines? with thrown in irony that the machines solution to the problem is a bunch of machines killing the organics every 50,000 years. Resolved with 4 choices, or 2 as I had in my first play through.

C) MP Shouldn't be connected to the main game of a solo RPG, defeats the point. Easter Egg or not. 

D) MP made the readiness go up, making Military Strength more effective, simple enough. Yet doing everything and then it being 50% as lowest value made your EMS half instantly before going into battle. Is there a infinite resource in the single player which would mean you can bump up your EMS to 10000 without the 50% penalty? 

This said. I thought the first ending was clever in explanation even if the 2 choices I got seemed pointless.



Hmm, pie.
