Oh man, I hope you linked Pike to you placing Morrowind in the "worst 13 games of all time" list. I mean, I think she might simply 'pop' with disbelief.

Anyway. I see your point, Pete, but that doesn't make the ending any better. Also, I disagree with your point. You say...
Thought you could change the world? A normal man has no power at all, much like it is in the real world. It's a lesson. In the end, no-one controls the masses except the super rich.
...and then, in the end, it is indeed the character that goes around changing the world throughout the entire game. You are the one that not only brings down the super rich, you are also the one that gets to dictate how the public hear about the end result. In the end, you, one man who is not in the super-rich institution, are changing the world. You did it all. The only thing is, you don't get to see how the world will react. And that for me ruins the game. You don't know what happens once you press that button and that is like saying it would be really interesting if Lord of the Rings ended at Rivendell with the council imagining what might happen if they took different actions. That wouldn't be interesting. We're not here for a philosophy lesson, we're here to play the role of a man in a game and when he presses that button, he witnesses what happens next, and despite playing the role and dictating his actions throughout the game, don't witness what he witnesses.

It's smurfing diabolical and despite really enjoying DE:HR, I believe it's one of the worst if not THE worst ending I've ever come across in a game.

I think I'd actually prefer it if they just ended it with the press of a button and that was it, roll credits.
