I don't mind a good sad ending.
I said the only thing needed to fix Mass Effect 3 is to end the game with Shepard turning on the Catalyst and then lying down to die beside Admiral Anderson. It's not the ending anyone wanted but remove all the Starchild bullshit or "commit genocide to destroy the Reapers or body rape the galaxy or become Cthulhu" and I think the ending has the emotional power it needs no one can really argue with it.
I don't mind the current endings because I think AI V is the same as regular V and thus V lives in most of the endings. However, I think the big issue is that aside from living, there's a not much point to having V do what they do. V trying to find Randy with River actually makes a better quest than most of them because V is putting aside their own selfish goals to try to save a kid.
They made the central quest one of pure selfishness and while that's fine, its less compelling if you imagine your V is not a complete pile of crap.
