Thank you!

The ending was better than I expected.
Becoming synthetic is the natural evolution of all life. The randomness and uncertainties upon getting there is what created the Reapers. Shepard has brought this galaxy to the Singularity.

I almost cried when I saw the the leaf.

Yeah, after reading the Indoctrination Theory, I think Synthesis may have possibly been the worst choice

Either way I think that was the worst option. My Shep would never play god. I do not even believe a pure renegade Shep would play god like that.

Destroy or Destroy. That is the question.

Destroy all the way, screw the 3 colors and F**k everything... To be fair I went WTF the moment I met the starchild. And when I got the 3 choices I googled the ending to find out where the hell I went wrong...

The rest is history.

Hold the line!

I still keep looking for the $%^& you choice.

alas I still haven't found it

First time I choose control, after I read the indoctrination theory I felt like a total dick. So I went back the second time, and choose to blow up those bastards. I if the endings don't change I'll probably do that every time. 

Yeah...I think I should've picked destroy, but it's not like we had enough information to make and intelligent and informed decision anyway

Just a reminder to folk, we are not at war with Bioware....yet.
Remain calm, remain civil and remain respectful.
You've so far been a credit to the movement, lets keep it that way and hold the line.

And in a sci-fi universe that tries to stick to the laws of physics while still allowing for telling the story they want to tell, pray tell how an energy cloud makes living things sprout circuitry? Or for synthetics to grow invisible fleshy bits godknowswhere?

The Indoc theory people are really starting to ****** me off, possibly more than the people who think the ending is good.

Every time I comment somewhere on these matters, it feels like someone is saying I don't understand and gives me the Indoc theory as to why the endings are ok.

The fact is, even if that theory was true, it doesn't make the ending as it stands now any better. All it does is change the ending from a plot hole filled mess into a cliffhanger that leaves everything hanging.

Either way, we need ending DLC. Indoc theory or not, period.

The expanding spheres of coloured sparkly whizz are not, as a result, the fiery progress of an explosions, but rather a shockwave of space magic which, depending on your flavour, is either:

R) the mother of all EMPs wiping out all synthetic life (and consequently all VIs and electronics aboard all spacefaring vessels and pretty much anything else in the galaxy which uses anything more advanced than clockwork),

a carrier signal which changes the control orders in giant robots we were previously led to believe as sentient, but are obviously nothing more than VIs or remote control space squid.

or 

c) has the amazing capability to transform organic material (such as, say, hydrocarbons) into part synthetic material, not by altering their molecular composition but by merely re-writing DNA. It can do this to the DNA of synthetics too in order to...no, wait....


So, yeah, Mass Relays don't go boom. Doesn't get you out of the sparkly whizz space magic problems though BioWare, sorry, I'm stumped on that one.

Only problem I have with that is it shows the shockwaves on the galactic scale, anything moving that fast save neutrinos would carry some kind of mass, takes us back to the Artillery Officer on Mass Effect 2 Citadel informing his probies that "THAT BULLET KEEPS GOING UNTIL IT HITS SOMETHING WITH THE FORCE OF A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION" (or whatever the exact wording was).  That many explosions would be the equivalent of storm surge/tsunamis and destroy craziness... not to mention the citadel was 'one big mass relay'.  It was right next to earth when it blew up lol.

When that shockwave caught up with the Normandy it was damaging enought to knock it out of the sky, so no matter what color of space magic it was it was obviously destructive.

Ahh, yes but at that time the Normandy, too, was travelling at conventional FTL (as depicted by doppler shift surrounding it). Now if we assume that anything travelling at FTL is, to all intents and purposes, more like a wave form than conventional matter, when another wave form travelling at a slightly higher frequency catches up to it there will be wave interaction and interference. This is most likey going to happen where the two meet (at the rear of the ship) which is where the engines are kept. As such, the engines would have been damaged, the Normandy would have dropped out of FTL, intertial dampers would have kicked in and, miraculously stranded in a system with an M-class planet with a nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere devoid of microscopic, anaphalactic shock inducing algae, woiuld have been able to secure an emergency re-entry and landing with the use of conventional thrusters.

The following transmissiont has been decrypted and declassified by Alliance Command:

HARBINGER:  Ok we're ready, open the relay.

CATYLIST:  I can't, the Proteans broke it.

H:  But your right there, can't you fix it?

C:  No.

H:  Why not?

C:  .....

H:  Ok, I'll send in Soverign to do it.

Yeah I picked destroy because I didn't want to play god either. Screw it I'll kill everything!

That is true.
All theories, not matter how many sense they make, still need DLC to give us the real ending then.
But even if you're getting mad, try to stay calm.
We have to be civil.

Hold the line!

I respectfully disagree.
I don't think any Shepard would play god, I mean Synthesis sounds like the most renegade option. You are forcefully changing every living things DNA. Plus how could something rewrite the DNA of every living thing. I find that to be a bit whats the word? Far-fetched. How can something change EVERY things DNA to resemble both sentient, and organic. Remember the reapers reporduction that required millions of humans just to create 1 capital ship. I respect your opinion however.

[MeldarthX]

RIGHT FOLKS - please do not embed photos; they can look at this and close the forum - Second; be excellent to each other - respectful - civil.......

most of all HOLD THE LINE

Incorrect, the race that the Reapers came from chose to meld themselves in a grotesq way thus creating the reapers, it was their answer to combating dark energy, this was not natural evolution.

Even if it's indoctrination the endings were still terrible.

I love your subtle use of space magic there haha.  I'm going to go way out of my norm and actually allow your technobabble (excellent use of it by the way, you sound like a fellow trekkie rofl).
Having no engines would make landing safely difficult no?  I would imagine being kicked out of FTL would probably not help the matter.

Guess it just reinforces our collective belief that when you have to make more assumptions than a string theory hypothesis it probably means your ending doesn't really pass the smell test haha.
