The issue is the the ending to Inception can be broken down to a few core ideas that are carefully choreographed into every major event and woven together in such a way where it reiterates this question. This culminates into the final scene where the viewer is left asking "Is this a dream?" where neither yes or no adds or detracts from it.
On the other hand, Mass Effect 3 just has a stupid ending where they need a strange ending because they need to dispose of Shepard without tarnishing his "heroic status" but keeping the setting in tact for more games.
In an interview with Mac Walters one month before ME3 came out, he said by the end of the game, the galaxy was "a wasteland".
Meaning the original intent was to dispose of the entire ME universe.
Does everyone who thought it was correct think they're completely idiot now for believing in it, now that it was proven false?
The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3 clearly state that Shepard was supposed to be indoctrinated.
When they got to the part where Shepard was supposed to be fighting the indoctrination, the mechanic was too difficult to implement so they scrapped it.
But they left everything leading up to the indoctrination moment intact (pre-extended cut).
I fast traveled to Whiterun after starting Dawnguard and didn't notice any townsfolk had been killed.
A few (real) days later I noticed Belethor wasn't showing up to work on time...or at all.
A few more (real) days later I decided to do a Hall of the Dead tour and see if I could visit all the NPCs I accidentally and intentionally lead to their end.
Your vampire friend can turn you at any point if you ask, once that's done you can either be wolfed/ or re-wolfed by the companions (Aela) or cured outright by the guy in Dawnstar.
As I understand it, you can only become a werewolf twice but as long as your vampire friend is a vampire (and has not been cured) she can turn you whenever you ask.
Even after using the glitch cheat where you yank out a game that's already running, then plug in a new game to get access to a cheat screen only once did I almost get to the end.
I spent more time trying to beat that game than any other Genesis game.
The one time I got further than I ever had before, the game froze.
Then the game went flying out my window.
I never beat the game, but I did kick it's ass.
I don't still have it (yeah, I know that's the point of the thread), but it does still haunt me.
