The problem with a sequel is that there can’t really be one, not in the manner they left the universe. Not only have they stated that there would be no other games set after ME3, but the setting as we knew and loved no longer exists in that form.

Even with all that, personally, I don’t see the sense in rewriting the ending. I’d rather them put out another sequel to knock it out, rather than rewrite the ending.

Kind of like with The Terminator films. T1 – Great! T2 – Awesome! T3 – WTF?, T4 – Cool, okay, now we’re back on track, lol.

Would you play another sequel to the game if they released one?

The Mass Effect 3 ending is bad on so many levels it defies logic. It is badly written, derails plots and character, renders everything that happens previous invalid, is filled with plot holes, contradictions and would have received a fail mark in any high school writing course. Worse, what happens is in direct opposite to what the gamers were told they would receive.

It comes across as being hastily written and not really thought through.

There are also rumours that, unlike the rest of the game, there was no peer review for the ending – the head writer wanted something artsy (when the rest of the series wasn’t written that way) and just ignored the established process.

Rewriting the endings is not without precedence. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle retconed the death of Sherlock Holmes due to public outcry and another computer game, Fallout 3, changed the ending due to the fact fans were disappointed with it (though not to the extent Mass Effect fans are disappointed) – and whats more Bethesda were praised for it.
