On Bioware's forum there was a post theorized that the ending(s) were just Shepard's hallucination, possibly due to the indirect effect of Reaper's indoctrination.
This is NOT a spoiler just a theory though, but a very interesting one.
Hmm... I've seen that theory around a lot. Even during ME2 after Project Overlord I believe. But really... if people are upset over the endings as they are now, are they really going to be happy with an "it was all a dream" ending?
I mean, how far back do you take it? The ending sequence was a dream? The events after the Geth server mission were a dream (though you can actually bypass that mission, so not everyone will have had it)? Maybe the entire series has been Shepards dream?
I dunno, I just can't see a lot of people - myself included - being happy with that ending. It's good as a theory, but in practice I think it'll be shunned more than this ending.

I'll read the spoiler part when I've finished the game, so apologies if you've covered something I'm going to say.
Either way, I'll be severely disappointed if any part of the game turns out be be "just a dream". That's an even worse cop-out than killing everyone is.
I remember when TV shows and books did that. There'd be a whole show or book with all of this action, great stories, great characters, etc etc, and then at the end the main character would wake up. I'm not a fan of things where the main character dies (bar a few exceptions), but that's even worse. It makes everything you've gone through entirely pointless.
I'm curious to know what people think the alternative is though. I mean, if a part of the game was a dream, what was actually happening in reality? Are the Reapers still attacking the Galaxy?
I think the dream theory is people grasping at some sort of hope. The person who came up with the theory, says that they thought it might be, because of some effects, the little boy, and finally they claim the endings felt "out of place" and not in-par with ME universe. Also the dream sequences Shep experiences.
If I find the thread, I'll link you to it once you finish the game.
Thanks, I'd appreciate that.
I'll also check out the link you posted, Ghostwolfalpha, when I finish too.
