WARNING: Mass Effect 3 spoilers ahead
Going into Mass Effect 3, I'd already heard of the
controversies surrounding the ending, so I wasn't too surprised of the lack of
closure and how little my choices mattered. However, what I wasn't expecting
was how nonsensical and confusing the ending was to me. "How did Garrus,
who accompanied me on my race to the Conduit and supposedly died, get on the
jungle planet?" I said to myself, as the credits rolled by to The Faunt's
catchy new tune. "W-who exactly is the Catalyst and why is it in the form
of the child Shepard saw on Earth?" I further pondered. Some sort of
symbolism perhaps? I really didn't have a strong opinion of the ending because
I assumed it went over my head and I just missed something. As it turns out,
that could potentially be the case.
