That sounds like an acceptable ending imo. + Show Spoiler +ME4 could be set up so that the Normandy crew were all that was left of humanity and that the jungle planet was well outside of the Mass Relay zones so as to escape the Reapers attention. Using the information which Liara saved on the Normandies computer they spend 50,000 years rebuilding galactic society with all of the previous cycles knowledge so that when the Reapers come back they're shocked to discover that the latest cycles are far more advanced than they could have predicted.

+ Show Spoiler +That's exactly what they're referring to - the ability to stop The Illusive Man from killing Anderson, so that you have the final conversation where Anderson tells Shepard he's proud of him.

+ Show Spoiler +So the bit with the Stargazer and the kid after the credits... is it just me or the planet they're on has the same moons that the planet the Normandy crashes on has? If so, Joker and Traynor sure did a good job of populating the planet.

From someone on the IGN boards who saw this on another board, posted by a journalist talking about rumors he heard about Bioware, is the original (Drew Karpyshyn) plan for the ending.
+ Show Spoiler +“The Reapers’ goal was to find a way to stop the spread of Dark Energy which would eventually consume everything. That’s why there was so much foreshadowing about Dark Energy in ME2.
The Reapers as a whole were ‘nations’ of people who had fused together in the most horrific way possible to help find a way to stop the spread of the Dark Energy. The real reason for the Human Reaper was supposed to be the Reapers saving throw because they had run out of time. Humanity in Mass Effect is supposedly unique because of it’s genetic diversity and represented the universe’s best chance at stopping Dark Energy’s spread.
The original final choice was going to be “Kill the Reapers and put your faith in the races of the galaxy in finding another way to stop the spread with what little time is left” or “Sacrifice humanity, allowing them to be horrifically processed in hopes that the end result will justify the means.”

The games awesome so far, and the multilayer is really good for an afterthought. But 2 issues i have:
1) The graphics aren't great, they could have at least made an attempt to improve them from one game to the next, the difference is barely noticeable, the textures on some of the clothing in cut scenes is almost original doom like graphics, if your going to zoom in on characters make sure the texture resolution is more than mine-crafts ffs.
2) WHY THE FUCK is EVERYTHING on spacebar?!? So annoying, enemy throws a grenade, and i either "change cover" or i start running and then take cover by a wall 2cm from the grenade on accident and die. And worst of all is trying to revive a player:

+ Show Spoiler +Highly advanced AI with a smokin mainframe and an extremely horny ship pilot with a thing for the unorthodox, stranded on a forest planet, with no hope of ever leaving any time soon? I think they would find a way. I mean, the scenario is only limited by the Sheppards indoctrinated imagination am I right?

+ Show Spoiler +No, you can not stop Anderson from dying. No matter what the illusive man will force you to shoot Anderson, but you can stop him from executing Anderson.

...you know you can change the controls right? -.-
I think it's pretty obvious that spacebar should be used for the HUD like it was in ME1, and E should be the use key, as it is in most games of this sort. If you're just referring to the issue being the fact that everything is on one hotkey, well then yes, I agree that it is pretty stupid, but once you're used to it I have no problems with it tbh.

Yeah, my biggest 'control' annoyance was that Sprint and Cover are bound to one key. I also changed HUD to Space and Use to E, but Sprint/Cover has no real solution. When I'm under heavy fire and I want to run away, I often accidentally go into cover, especially with all the random debris around. Vice versa as well.
Something else I can't forgive is that Journal is not keybound to J, nor can you set it. Seriously, if there is a problem I can recognize within the first 5 minutes of the game, a problem so simple, it should absolutely be dealt with. No excuses.

Does the journel even have a hotkey(It did not in ME2...). ME1 journal was bound to J so it really makes me wonder why it was not implemented in the futher games

Okay ,just finished the game an i'm kinda confused about the ending. If it was not some kind of indoctrination, then the ending has really some plot holes, or at least some very misleading points:
1. Anderson and the illusive man making it through the beam is kinda odd, because i wonder how they got there , pretty strange scene overall.
2. Then you get transported out into space(why can you survive there?) , and the "deus ex machina" appears, in form of the little boy, which is probably the strangest thing about the whole ending, because if its not some kind of imagination, why the hell would they pick exactly that appearance for the vi?
3. And if "the pattern" aka the kid is so sure about the whole reaper thing is the only way to stop the chaos,and is only now realizing that it does not work anymore, why does it actually have that option to control the reapers?
4. The end with the dad and boy then makes it look like if it was real again, looking back on Shepards story.
So overall really confusing, it could be "indoctrination", but probably its just a kind of stupid ending combined with dissapointment about it.

No, the journal does not have a hotkey (that I could find), whereas the map does. I mean come on. I know this is a small point, but that's why I am stressing it. It is such a easy problem to identify and fix, so why not do it? The only reason I can think of is, if the pc version came from a console version, there wouldn't be a button for the journal on the controller, whereas you can have one button for the menu and the second button for the map.
Something else I was very confused about is that, when you open the journal, sometimes it opens to missions, sometimes it opens to codex, and sometimes it opens to secondary codex. I really don't understand why, and I've tested it to make sure that it doesn't just open to the last thing I look at. Furthermore, when I open the journal to see my list of missions, the default "camera" position is not at the start of the list, but at some arbitrary point on the list, amongst a ton of complete quests. This means that every time I want to look at my current missions, I have to scroll up. Again, a small problem, but that correlates to an easy fix as well. I have a ton of other problems with this game that aren't so easy to fix.

+ Show Spoiler + technically when ppl say you can save anderson, they mean you get some extra dialogue but he dies from wounds anyways. you just need to be max paragon to make illusive man kill himself. As well as trigger the right conversation options in all the other conversations previously. and have enough war readiness. it's really annoying

pretty sure you can if you really wanted to change storm/cover to become 2 different keys, i mean i'm going though the me3 consolidated.bin and changing settings to reduce pop in and make the game more proper for a higher end pc. Mass effect has always been an xbox360 game that just happened to be ported to windows. I mean people complained about graphics in me2, same reason different studio took over porting it to windows and kept in that texture streaming and barely made it take advanage of pc hardware, people complained about pop in, low textures etc. Just need to keep changing their settings till you get it right. Or break the game :D
I mean it's under sharedaction
bioinput.ini->sfxgame->sfxgamemodebase->bindings
( Name="Shared_Action", Command="Exclusive TryStandingJump | Exclusive Used | OnRelease StormOff | OnHold 0.2 StormOn | Exclusive PressAction | OnTap 0.3 TapAction | OnHold 0.3 HoldAction")
Break that up to be
( Name="Shared_Action_cover", Command="Exclusive Used | Exclusive PressAction | OnTap 0.3 TapAction | OnHold 0.3 HoldAction")
( Name="Shared_Action_storm", Command="Exclusive TryStandingJump | Exclusive Used | OnRelease StormOff | OnHold 0.2 StormOn")
not sure what exclusive used is, but pressaction is probably pick up and doors, tapaction and hold action might be cover,not sure but jump and storm seem pretty obvious.
The problem is that things like tap action might also be linked to storm, so to slide over a piece over cover you'd have to storm then use tap action so be pressing 2 keys, but you can get rid of that .2 storm on etc which is probably there because to do tha tjump you need to tap the key so it needs storm to be sticky so you'll still run while you tap.
then go though bindings again and bind i guess
bioinput.ini->sfxgame->sfxgamemodedefault->bindings
and change
( Name="SpaceBar", Command="Shared_Action" )
maybe go with
( Name="SpaceBar", Command="Shared_Action_cover" )
( Name="LeftControl", Command="Shared_Action_storm" )
leftcontrol btw is binded to walk by default i dont think anyone ever uses it lol
