I just completed the game and got the synthesis ending.  I was wondering if that ending fell in line with what a Paragon Shepard would choose to do?  Any opinions?

I don't think it matters. I think its the "Control the Reapers" ending just because the color of the beam if blue.

I thought synthesis was the most satisfying of the three.

He would have told the catalyst to shove it. People in the galaxy don't need someone dictating the terms of their lives. The fate of organics is their own. it's up to them to make of it what they can. To remove the possibility of a future removes what it is to be alive.

Sorry tangent. if anything it'd be destroy imo

the red ending which I chose is perhaps the most humble ending in that
shepard is not deciding he has the authority to change the very essence
of humanity nor believing that he can control the reapers, bear in mind
the program had no reason to be honest about anything or to know exactly
what would happen in any scenario.
ultimately destroying the relays
allows society for presumably the first time to evolve in a way not
predicated by the reapers. The game presents us with many problems of
ascending a species which is not ready and in a sense the game ends on a
hopeful note that perhaps now for the first time organic life will not
evolve in a way that was facilitated by the reapers

The "Destroy" ending is partly an act of genocide against the Geth, so that's clearly not paragon. The synthesis ending could be, but playing God with the galaxy and forcing a choice upon it doesn't seem too paragon either.

The control ending simply beats the reapers, and is the ending that screws up the galaxy the least. So that might be your best bet.

I also chose the control ending as a renegade though, because renegades enjoy being in control of a gigantic super-army :D

All of them do in one degree or another. It makes sense for them all. Let me explain why.

For the control ending, perhaps Shepard realizes that perhaps having the reapers around is a good safeguard against synthetics destroying all organic life. However, Shepard knows, on the heels of the geth/Quarian situation, that there is hope and that the races should be given a chance....hope. Remember, the Paragon Shepard runs on hope often in the series.

For Synthesis, well perhaps Shepard realizes that conflict is unavoidable..and that life is life whether organic or synthetic, so merging the two would end the unavoidable conflict while not changing what life is.

For Destruction, Shepard may think that organcis and synthetics should be given a chance...and chance to self determine. The previous two resolutions revolved around the inevitable conflict, but a paragon choosing this ending has more faith in life, especially after uniting the Geth and Quarians.

I didn't pick control because... well... it just seemed like more of a renegade type thing to do.

Destroy on the other hand would probably be a better choice for paragon, if not for the fact that you have to sacrifice the geth and Edi etc. It seemed like too high a cost, especially since I finally ended the war between the Geth and Quarians.

I went with synthesis also, because it seemed like a good long term solution to the cycle, as well as helping preserve life and reaching the pinnacle of evolution. It's still a pretty poor ending for me though... just the least ****ty of the 3.

I'd say synthesis is the "nicest" option

Control is definetly the paragon ending its the least destructive and Reapers can be turned into peackeepers instead of galactic destroyers. Besides Making Harbinger my pet is a bonus, I think its better than destrying it. If I could speak to him after choosing control. I'd say "Look what a dust struggling in the wind  did to you, You' re my **** now." I know It's not too paragon, but even Paragon Shepard can hate that ***-hole.

If you have a high enough ems and choose to destroy them your shep will live at the end.

Don't you have to harvest people to keep the reapers alive?

My paragon shep would have taken the option to keep fighting the reapers to the last man and try to leave a message to the next cycle to not use the Crucible, to warn then about the citadel, to give them some hope on how to kill the reapers(hit them in the glowing "weak spots"). My paragon shep wouldn't have doomed the entire galaxy, he would have sacrificed this cycle to give hope to the next if it was the only way he could.

There isn't really a paragon or a renegade ending.  There is one good ending (control), one magic will fix everything ending (synthesis), and one "omfg, you really picked that?  What are you stupid?" ending (destroy).  

That's my opinion anyway.  I think that with the way the choices are presented, Synthesis seems like the "true" ending.  Think about it.  When the Catalyst gives you the option to destroy the Reapers (and EDI, which is why I call it the Idiot ending) it shows a clip of Anderson doing so.  When it gives you the option to control the reapers, it shows you a clip of the Illusive Man doing so.  But no such clip happens for the Sythesis option which implys that that is Shepard's choice and not the choice of another, lesser person.  That's just my interpretation anyway.  Yes it's ironic that the Illusive Man is demonstrating the merciful ending, but they themselves point that out, so I wouldn't read too much into it like some people are doing.  (Look around, you'll find someone who says that they don't want to use the Control ending because it's the Illusive man's choice)

I suppose synergy. Destroy, despite being Anderson's choice, would have resulted in the death of the Geth and EDI. Control would have been better since it preserves everything, but it seems like a paragon would recognize that nobody should control the Reapers. Synergy avoids both of those, but the forcing everyone to be a cyborg doesn't feel right either.

In the end, I would think that a truly paragon Shepard would have told the Catalyst that it was wrong and that none of the choices needed to be made. Paragon Shepard would have said, "Look at what the galaxy has accomplished. Yes, I helped bring it to this point, but you can't deny that your outlook is flawed."

I picked Synthesis since it seemed right to me. Like all the current life would still exist and grow...minus having the relays of course. The endings choices are not bad...its just they are pretty much copied! If they just had a recap or something for what happens to crew, races, planets, and so on I would be happy...but they don't. If they have DLC with extra endings or something like that...well...I'm still going to buy them...>_>
