This is 100% in line with what I have come to understand. It isn't the fact that the ending of Mass Effect is Ice Cream. It's the fact that 'we' were promised that our actions would determine whether we got Ice Cream, Apple Pie, or Eternal Hellfire with Sausage*. Instead, we get three different colors of sprinkles on the same Ice Cream (there's a sub-kvetch there that the ice cream is made with tofu - what the hell is up with that, but I digress).
*Eternal Hellfire with Sausage. Take a large amount of flat bacon, weave a traditional Bacon Mat. Cook the remaining bacon (2/3lb approximate) to 'crispy'. Coat the bacon mat with a thin spread of Frank's Red Hot. Take two pounds Jimmy Dean 'Hot' sausage, thawed, and mix in a bowl with one egg and one cup green Tabasco. Spread the resultant hell-brew on your bacon mat. Top with the previously cooked bacon, crumbled, mixed with roasted jalapeno peppers. Roll into loaf. Bake at ~350 until core temperature goes above ~185f. Baste with Sweet Baby Rays, Stubbs, or Neelys' spicy barbecue sauce multiple times during baking process.

Quote:“Experience the beginning, middle, and end of an emotional story unlike any other, where the decisions you make completely shape your experience and outcome.”
“Along the way, your choices drive powerful outcomes, including relationships with key characters, the fate of entire civilizations, and even radically different ending scenarios.”
