I get why people have issues with them but I feel like in terms of the options we were given (Destroy the Reapers and all Synthetics, Assume Control of the Reapers yourself, Merge all Synthetic and Organic Life, Refuse all the options and let the Reapers win) I felt satisfied with them.

Besides, worse endings have and will continue to exist after and in comparison, to those, I think Mass Effect 3 at least worked. It wasn't 100% satisfying but I feel like it got the trilogy over the finish in a way that would made me feel okay with it.

I’d say my biggest mistake was failing to secure Zaeed and Miranda’s Loyalty in ME2 which led to their deaths in 3.

To be honest though, it’s not hard to regret curing the Genophage with Wreav in charge even with Eve still alive.

First, a couple of rules:

1. To compensate for the technology gap and their lack of infrastructure within the Star Wars galaxy, the Reapers will be equalized in their technology-level to the Star Wars Legends Universe. (Reapers will be equipped with hyperspace drives, Reaper weaponry will have the same effect on Star Wars ships as they do on Mass Effect ships, etc.)
2. Force-Sensitive individuals will be immune to indoctrination, but non-Force Sensitives will still be vulnerable to Reaper manipulation.

If you are unfamiliar with the Reapers, I'd recommend clicking this link.

For the sake of simplicity, let’s assume that Shepard doesn’t crash into the planet and Cerberus rescues them before they asphyxiate to death.

Say the Paragon Route of the Tuchanka Mission occurs, Shepard leaks the Dalatrass’ plans, Eve survives due to Maelon’s Data, and Mordin goes up to cure the Genophage. In this hypothetical, Mordin is killed by shrapnel from an explosion before he can fix the STG Sabotage and the cure fails as a result. How would Wrex react in this instance if the cure wasn’t intentionally sabotaged by Shepard but failed purely as an accident?

Imagine being in his shoes: You've reached a device that should hopefully get you into contact with that UNSC Ship near you only for it to repeat your own distress call and then burst open to reveal some new alien. Said new alien then proceeds to grab you through some unknown means and, as it speaks to you, reveals that it's a Forerunner. A Forerunner, one of the supposedly long-extinct aliens who created the galaxy-destroying Halo Rings that you've stood on with your own two feet, is still alive...

And he hates you and he hates humans.

Chief is honestly lucky that the Didact was more concerned with grabbing the Composer than finishing him off.

The reason why I bring up ME2 as well is because some stuff in there, mainly TIM's offer to keep the Collector Base, seems to indicate to me that he was indoctrinated even then.

1. Sabotaging the Genophage Cure: Mass Effect 3 - During the events of the Mass Effect 3 quest Priority: Tuchanka, you are given an option by a leader of the Salarian Race to sabotage a cure for the Genophage, a forced sterility plague made to keep the Krogan race infertile after they nearly attempted to take over the galaxy a few centuries back. Most of the time, the Krogan will be under the leadership of Urdnot Wrex, a close friend of the player character Commander Shepard who wants to reform the Krogan away from their war-like ways and is helped by Eve/Urdnot Bakara who helps to rally the Krogan together and hold back the more radical elements of their society. Under this framework, sabotaging the cure is generally inadvisable. However, if both Wrex and Eve are dead by the events of ME3, then the Krogan will be under the leadership of Wrex's brother Urdnot Wreav. A belligerent xenophobe who wants the Genophage cured mainly so he can unleash a new Krogan army upon the galaxy. With him in charge and no one to keep his ambitions in check, sabotaging the Genophage cure becomes the right call since you'll be stopping a major galactic threat in the process. To sweeten the deal, the game even allows you to spare the life of Mordin Solus, a squadmate who normally dies curing the Genophage, by convincing him to go along with the sabotage since he'll be troubled by Wreav's leadership and intentions.
2. Firing the Halo Array: The Halo Franchise - Normally, firing a whole array of superweapons designed to wipe out all life in the galaxy would be considered a dick move but what matters is why they were built for that purpose. Within the lore of Halo, a parasitic alien race known as the Flood were currently ravaging across the galaxy and assimilating all of life. The only way to stop the Flood was to starve them of their food source and the Halo's were designed by the Forerunners to do just that. Eliminate all life in the galaxy in order to starve out the flood. This gambit ended up playing out as once the Halo's were fired, the Flood were gradually starved out and the Forerunners reseeded life in the galaxy before leaving it to seek out refuge somewhere else, leaving their role as galactic protectors to Humanity.

My personal idea is that unlike 3.0, 2.0 is another form of the OG Metal Sonic and is somewhere between his base form and his Neo Metal form in terms of both abilities and power. He also retains the ability to speak in this state.
