Hmm synthesis is the way to go for me.

I've considered the following, control being a status quo, you only take the reapers out of the equation, plus Shepard. Risk of the impending war/organic annihilation still existing, but you give it a chance to prove the opposite.

Then there's destroy, where you take the reapers out, but also the Geth and EDI, which for all my Sheps is just not an option, however much I want to see them live, that would be going against what they stoold for since the beginning and the choices they made in regards to synthetic life throughout the game. Risk of the impending war/organic annihilation still existing, but you give it a chance to prove the opposite.

Then there's synthesis, believing the impending war threat exists assuming StarChild is what he claims to be, it's the only one that suggestedly assures to break the cycle in therms of war.

To me the main questions were simple, I asked myself:
1. Do I believe StarChild? Yes.
2. Do I believe war is inevitable, do I believe our annihilation in extension is inevitable? Yes.
3. Do I recognise the Geth and EDI as fullfletched lifeforms? Yes.
4. If not synthetic life, but say Turian life, would I merge to save them (and everyone in effect)? Yes.

Outcome Synthesis every time, I can't get around it.

My paragon Jane came to the same conclusion - she opted for synthesis. With the idea of permanently braking the cycle and saving as many sentient species as possible. Lot of poeple won' like being cybernized but at least the fighting will not reach galactic proportion - and they'll live. It may seem cruel to make that choice, but people didn't hesitate to let her carry the load; they're just gonna have to suck it up. 
My canon Deirdre thought about picking destroy; she'll probably pick control in the end and see what heppen...

My analysis of the endings for my FemShep.

Do I believe the AI child? No
Do I believe it's circular logic? No again
Do I believe that war with synthetics where they want to destroy all organic life is inevitable? No
Do I believe that the Geth and EDI are fully realized individuals and synthetic life forms deserving of life? Yes
Should I sacrifice myself based on circular logic which cannot be proven, can always be broken and defeated? No

Final analysis... I take the fourth option and tell the AI child to screw himself and find another way to defeat the reapers using the crucible and the citadel.

Haha! My Shep agrees!

Good news is he's finally back on board the Normandy! (Too bad I've been to tired too start up the game)


Oh you pretty spectacular man.

Yeah, you're not alone in that. Lots of people in that line of thought =)

Married father of 5. Play femshep EXCLUSIVELY and Lady Hawke about 80%. For a variety of reasons: I suck at making custom males, I have more sympathy for a female character and in the case of Mass Effect, massive voice acting preference.

Believe me, you are not alone.

Even in Dragon Age making decent-looking custom males using the CC is just impossible for me. I don't know how some people do it.

In my opinion, they DON'T. Hee hee. Maybe I'm just not a big fan of men. My first three kids were girls so as they got into their teens, I developed a real dislike for males.

Hahaha! I suppose that factored into it, eh? xD

Seriously though, I've seen some really good custom males. I'm all the more impressed when I see them in Mass Effect - Dragon Age has the Toolset for those who want to fine-tune their headmorphs so they have it a little easier.

Am I the only one that likes the hair better in ME3? Before it looked like a clay mold to me. Now I can see the indivicual hairs at the base of her skull/back of the neck (that area on the pony tail hairstyle drove me nuts in the first two games).

I liked some hairstyles better in ME3. I liked how they improved the hairline for the pull-up styles (although I'm on the fence about the additional head bump). I also like how the hair tips look more wispy than blocky like in the first two games. Some styles just changed like WOAH and that's really hit and miss for the people affected.

So, yeah. Mixed feels for the ME3 hairstyles. But mostly thankful for Jennelyn still looking like her old self after the jump.

If you ever find that option, please let me know where it is - I've been looking for it ever since I got the game. 

[Heather Cline]

AVPen it's not in the game. It's in my head. Shepard finds the controls, shuts down the AI child, fires the crucible and destroys the reapers, keeping the mass relays intact and ending the extinction cycle. FemShep gets picked up by the Normandy taken to the med facilities to get patched up and then when recovered gets together with her LI. For me that's Liara.

This is my cannon. I reject BioWare's ending and substitute my own.

Yeah, same.

Shepard: Nah, that's okay.  I'm just gonna hop back on that elevator and go back downstairs to that console and try to find the "On" button, because frankly I don't see how this was designed without a simple "FIRE!" switch, since presumably they didn't know about you and your room of weird choices and there's no way they intentionally meant for me to SHOOT at things to turn it on ARRGHHH MY BRAIN ::head explodes, galaxy remains unsaved::

Bleh, these endings.

Why, thank you. I'll make sure to relay that information to her.

So many femsheps to comment on and I don't know where to start. But I'll say this: I'm so very tempted to create a firey redheaded femshep (and, if you must know, I pretty much use Lou in all of my games because... well... I'm very exciting *boring*).

[Heather Cline]

This ending DLC they are talking about is so far only going to be 'closure/explanation' ending. I don't want that. I want the original 16 endings we were promised. The ones that were influenced by our decisions from ME1 all the way through ME3 and that were supposed to differ wildly depending upon your decisions. Not this ABC ending choices that pretty much were all the same.

Willow, the problem with the ME3 ending is that they ripped it off from Deus Ex Machina all it was really was a fresh coat of paint slapped onto another games ending. Furthermore the whole AI child destroys everything that came before in ME1, ME2 and even ME3 all the way up to the final scene with the AI child. It makes so many plot holes not only for the final moments of the game it makes major plot holes for ME1 and ME2.

So yeah... the final scene and the ending cutscenes didn't fit the game what so ever. Then the final insult is a pop up saying 'shepard just became a legend, buy our dlc'. Screw that.

I watched an amusing video the other day (damned if I can find it again) where someone had their Shepard successfully jump off the citadel away from the star kid followed by what, five minutes worth of falling. I was waiting for the "game over" message, but nope, Shepard eventually got instazapped right back to star kid. I laughed at how futile it was. =D

 This ending was my first choice and boy was it painful to watch. It certainly looked stunning but I find the idea of Shepard completely disintegrating, leaving no body for friends to mourn, especially heartbreaking. Glad that it turned out to be an "unofficial" ending;  atleast for me.

I tried synthesis 1st, even though my gut instinct was destroy. almost didn't even try it, but felt like i 'ought' to give it a spin. was halfway to beam and thought, 'aw **** this.' but i tried it anyhow and i will never do that again. it made me feel ill to watch. i just thought, 'oh, dear GOD what have i done?' reloaded and did what i wanted to do from the first. BOOM!

as for DLC.... erhm, yeah.  i'm kind of thinking at this point, there is either REDEEM! or there is FAIL! there really is not much inbetween.

Do or not do, BioWare. There is no try with this one.

[thompsmt]

Yep. I'm also wishing we could have our Captain Kirk ending, where Shepard doesn't die.

Although, I do have to admit Buzz Aldrin voicing the old Stargazer was inspired. Perhaps when they do the Shepard Cycle of all three games updated for a next generation console, you can have the narration at the beginning.

[Heather Cline]

I wouldn't buy a updated game for the next gen cycle even if BioWare begged me to or gave me a free copy. That's how bad they've gotten since they sold out to EA.

[JamieCOTC]

To me the main questions were simple, I asked myself:
1. Do I believe StarChild? I believe that he believes it.
2. Do I believe war is inevitable, do I believe our annihilation in extension is inevitable? The fact that Shepard is on the crucible proves Starchild is wrong. The actions of organics are chaotic and are therefore unpredictable. Shepard, an organic, standing in front of Starchild is a direct result of the Reapers’ meddling.
3. Do I recognise the Geth and EDI as fullfletched lifeforms? Yes.
4. If not synthetic life, but say Turian life, would I merge to save them (and everyone in effect)? No. I would simply point out that by trying to inflict order onto chaos he only breeds more chaos and therefore his plan is doomed to failure. Shepard standing before him proves this. Starchild’s most logical course of action is to stop the harvesting and let the natural order of the universe, which is chaos, take its course.

Been away, but been lurking now and then. Crazy how fast this thread moves, but it's good to see. Lots a beautiful femsheps. I know I rarely comment on femsheps around here, but I do see them and they are all wonderful.

@Ais - Despair is the enemy's greatest weapon. Do not let them wield it. Even if you lose, fight for what you believe in. Thane deserves no less.

@Sage - Great bit about women in gaming.

I'm a guy. I play femshep. She's not me.

I've used this word way too much in this thread, and probably in real life, but...

Jamie, that was awesome.

I'm still going with the EDI hacks into the Star Child's virtual reality sim and beats him up with help from the Geth theory I came up with earlier this week.
