It would have been fine if these were the original endings, but since we know what actually happened, it feels like they are just changing the endings to close the plot holes. Now the relays are not destroyed but severely damaged and the normandy leaves the unknown planet. Good thing is we got a monologue and a few images.

I think the synthesis ending was the best. EDI survives. Shepard becomes immortal. Anyone see a correlation to religion in Shepard's death, resurrection, and life eternal? Shepard sacrifices himself so that many may be "saved" and in doing so, becomes incredibly powerful and godlike. Also, the significance of Bioware giving the commander the name Shepard. No first name. A herder of people, in effect, himself a collector (Oh the irony). Interesting that this was the choice the illusive man wanted all along, but he did not have Shepard's strength, character, or conviction and was indoctrinated. It appears Shepard escaped that fate (I think). In the synthesis conclusion, Shepard says he is "the man who fought to become the one who could lead the many". It is interesting however that the synthesis and destroy options both lead to damage to the mass relays and leave many civilizations back in the "stone age" before interstellar space flight. If Shepard chooses not to accept the options the catalyst gives him/her, humanity is obliterated but future civilizations use the collective knowledge gained to defeat the reapers and the relays are undisturbed. There are questions I still have, but that's what DLC is for I guess. The endings are alot better than what was previously offered, that's for sure.

I enjoyed all three endings much more this time around. Haven't seen the new one.

To me the refusal ending is the most cannon of them all. Shepard would never just accept 3 choices and not be able to use his own power and free will to find a solution. The 3 choices he is given all basically give him the power to play god, something which goes against all of shepard's moral values and the idea of free will among men.

I think the refusal ending should of had a split outcome but based on your actions from the game, eg. If you had achieved certain things such as uniting the geth and quarian, you could argue with the catalyst and convince him to destroy himself and the reapers because his logic is flawed, which would of produced the definitive "happy ending" where Shepard clearly lives. If you didnt have enough paragon and failed at certain story aspects then you would get the everyone dies but Shepard did it his way instead of conforming to the AI ending.

Other than that im happy with this DLC, the endings are clearly different from eachother and the plotholes are answered.
