Pre-extended cut they had a right to bitch and it was the first thing I did after completing it. The ramifications of your decisions were explained after the extended cut was released though and honestly I think anyone who moaned after that was just expecting too much.
The main thing that disappointed me with that ending was that it had to end at all, and I suspect that's what it was like for most people. That is was rushed because of EA and their shitty business practices, leading to a completely blunt and unexplained end is what people were pissed about. But like I said, the extended cut resolved that, maybe not in the way everyone will like, but you can't say you weren't given choices. What you did actually affected whether people lived or died, and the fate of the entire galaxy in 9 different significant ways, with smaller aspects to the story changing depending on your smaller choices.
Whatever people say, Mass Effect was a masterpiece from game 1 to game 3.
But yeah, going off the topic of Dragon Age a bit, but it's not a bad idea to compare because they're all bioware games.
