As possibly the most controversial moment in the entire franchises history, the ending of Mass Effect 3 is still remembered for the backlash it received. The three options available to Commander Shepard in the finale were criticized for simplifying the nuanced layers of choice built up over the trilogy, and many fans are likely hoping that the next Mass Effect doesnt repeat a similar mistake. An alternate fourth ending for ME3 that was later added as DLC, however, reaffirmed the players control in a way that the next Mass Effect would be wise to take cues from.
