Control. At least, this way, the mass relays are intact, the reapers are no longer a threat, and Shepard now watches over all of his friends from wherever he is.

Still a bad ending, because Shepard doesn't get a break at all (he's now cursed to control the reapers for all eternity) and the Normandy is stranded on some random planet (that part still makes no sense at all). Still a very obscure, bad ending with no closure and a ton of unanswered questions. Leaves me feeling hollow.

Relays are destroyed in every single ending. It's obvious from the cinematic and the god-kid says so as well. He sayed and I paraphrase "releasing the energy of the crucible will destroy all relays." So no matter what ending you choose, the relays will be destroyed.

But to me it doesn't matter all that much, the protheans actually created a relay themselves, so it can't be that hard to recreate them. Remember the Illos mission on ME1 where you raced towards the conduit?, that was a relay to the Citadel.

I picked up the destroy ending because what I wanted was no control, no cycle, no nothing, just randomness and chaos.

[Almostfaceman]

I chose them all, panicked at the results of each one, hoping for something better. It was quite the kick in the gut.

I chose Synergy, but thinking about it, I think I'd go with control. With it being blue, it was technically the paragon choice, even though it was TIM's choice. I did appreciate that the roles of Anderson and TIM were basically reversed at the end, I just think the execution is poor. Synergy seems like the most ideal, but I'm not sure it is. Shepard makes the choice for everyone to become partly synthetic and imposes himself on everyone, which doesn't fit now that I think about it. Control would remove the Reapers and leave everyone else alone.

Protheans didn't make the relays. Listen to Jarvik!

I went with green. No silly buttons, just push the analog stick forward.

The red one.

They say there are 16 endings but I've only heard about 3-5 with a difference of the color of the wave and 5 seconds of cinematics

[LPPrince]

Since I couldn't carry over my character's appearance from the first game, I didn't consider this playthrough a canon one.

Due to this, I chose the Biosynthetic Fusion DNA ending.

Kept going forward. Sacrificed Sheploo so everyone became like him and the Reapers, in a way.

Joker and EDI were happy, at least.

Still, terribad ending, along with the others.

[Geinrendour]

The control (blue) one.
I did stop for like 5 minutes when it was the time to choose, didn't know what to do. I thought "I want my Shepard to survive", but the kid said he would die anyways. Quite sad, indeed.

So I did choose the control one, but I wasn't expecting the relays to be destroyed, since controlling everything should allow me to destroy just what I wanted to. I wanted a galaxy community alive - with the Geth (and ****ING MORDIN, who died in my playthrough D; - my favorite character along with Thane - that also ended up dead ) - since they were a biig part of what the galaxy was.

I was wishing to see the blue children though. I'm pretty sure that last meeting with Liara and her "gift" was like she getting pregnant of him. At least I hope so. xD

Anyways, Shepard's trilogy meets and end.
This is a sad day for me.

[Rhayth]

I picked Destroy why should they be allowed to live after all that garbage.

[raeting]

Pretty sure relays blowing up didn't take out the star systems they were in. How else would shep be alive on earth after the charon relay blew up? Agreed that is one of the vague/confusing part of the ending though that makes it so icky.

Also, yeah, protheans didn't make the relays. Whoever made the citadel/reapers/etc. made them.

To the topic: destruction.

Losing EDI and the Geth are sad, no doubt, but I couldn't see how my character could make a different decision.

Control sounded horrible because given a few thousand years, who's to say Shepard doesn't end up acting just like this kid? After you have to put down a couple civilizations for the 'good of the galaxy', you are bound to become a bit jaded. If control gave me the option to take control and immediately fly all of the reapers into a star, that'd be different. But it was obvious that wasn't what the choice entailed. It is just delaying the cycle, and slating future civilizations to feel the wrath of the reapers.

Synthesis sounded appealing, it took some time to eliminate it. After a bit of thought, I realized that Shepard had just fought an army of synthesized creatures. That's really what the husks are, right? So what does synthesis look like exactly? Why should I trust this AI again? Am I really in the position to play god and hand down this decision for the galaxy? Yeah, can't see Shepard choosing that option without a lot more faith in the AI than I felt justified, or a clearer view of what the choice entailed. Plus they had just said that organics don't want their form changed. The bit from legion about not giving races technology and abilities they aren't ready for seems pertinent, as well.

So, destruction. Losing the Geth and EDI was horrible, yes. But, it is the only ending where the reapers are gone. The galaxy gets to determine its own fate. I feel like my paragon Shepard would have faith in the galaxy's ability to do that. Shepard would feel guilt over wiping them out, but they did wipe out an entire solar system, too, so such measures are not beyond what the character is capable of. Even if they are paragon.

Plus, the only explanation for other parts of the ending is that Shepard is unraveled, shell-shocked, well beyond their limits, and not necessarily thinking logically. Must. Destroy. Reapers. It is the original mission, after all.

how could any of you paragons go for the control ending...... its not even clear about what that would acomplish. I havent even figured out why that one was the control one.

End the end the "renegade" option seemed to be the most paragon. i wasnt about to let my paragon shep turn on everything he was fighting for because a blue child who claimed a bunch of crap told me to.

[TeamLexana]

I would choose synergy but Shep dies in that one and I don't trust anyone else but Shep to go find the god damn Normandy crew after they get trapped on that random planet.

I just picked a side and went to it. My logic is this:

In all three endings, the Relays are destroyed. When a relay is destroyed, so is the system that it inhabits. By choosing any of the endings, you are condemning trillions of innocents to death. Ignoring that the destruction of the relays would directly kill trillions, the lack of galactic travel would mean that hundreds of colonies that required support from the relay network for provisions and other supplies would die. Its like the Hugo Gurnsback from ME2, only on a galactic scale. In short, all three endings mean that you become a worse version of Hilter. Far better to just blow up the citadel with the reaper control device, or - failing that - retire to some sunny tropical paradise and drink beers with Tali & Garrus.

So wait, did Bioware just effectively **** itself out of its universe?  How are they supposed to make other games now lol

I couldn't stomach the genocide, to paraphrase the ninth incarnation of The Doctor, I'd rather be a coward than a killer any day. I guess I just trusted that Shepard was strong willed enough to control the Reapers, maybe even use them for good. Its my ending and I'm just going to think thats how it went down.

...scotch tape or rubber band the controller in the forward position...go make a grilled cheese sandwich, eat it, and come back just in time for the ending...

Destroy option, and as to the final scene showing grandfather and grandson talking I remember grandson asking grandfather to tell him another story about shepard, so I kind of doubt we have seen the last of our esteemed hero ego in ME. I doubt that we will be able to play him in the future Mass effect Games but I think he will still be present.
