Hey Caster! I was thinking—what’s the biggest overhyped game ending you’ve seen, and how would you redesign it so it actually lives up to the hype?

I’d say the biggest over‑hyped ending is the one from *Mass Effect 3*. Everybody was pumped for a finale that’d blow the galaxy’s expectations, but the actual cut‑scene felt like a last‑minute patch that just didn’t deliver. If I were to rewrite it, first ditch the “no‑choice” shortcut. Let the ending literally hinge on the decisions you made through the trilogy—each choice should shape the battlefield, the tone, even the final battle’s stakes. Then give the climax real emotional weight: the Council’s collapse isn’t a quick, one‑liner; it’s a full‑blown fight that forces you to decide whether you’re saving the galaxy or the ones you love. Finally, end with a twist that’s earned, not a shock‑value plug. Something that leaves you thinking about the galaxy long after the credits roll.
