Can somebody please explain to me how Destruction is the "good" ending (yes even when you do enough to have Shepard take a breath) when Destruction means EDI and all the Geth (ALL the Geth! ALL!) are destroyed?

How is that "good?"

I know, it's just a matter of opinion. I understand. I am just surprised more people think best Destruction is better than best Control (best Synthesis, while I don't think is bad, is just a little too weird for my tastes, though it IS nice to get Joker laid...)

 

You should take this question to the Story and Campaign forum. You can either start a new thread asking this question, or find one of the many, many threads debating the merits of the various end choices.

It is just the one that requires the highest EMS.

 

Whether or not it is good depends on your point of view regarding how good the other endings are.  Perhaps "Synthesis" was bioware's version of "best" who knows?  It really doesn't matter since it is an RPG and you can choose whatever you want and justify it to yourself.

 

Also most people who support Destroy think EDI is an acceptable casualty, and some extend that to the Geth.  Others just say that star child is lying and headcanon it differently.

you're a peach. thank you so much for putting me in my place. us ignorant neanderthals who do not understand social forums need people like you to correct us, lest chaos and anarchy reign. I was so very wrong to think that a discussion about what endings are attainable to what degree could be obliquely related to my query. thank you for pointing out my transgression; it does ever so much for the state of things.

(capn233, good post. yes, I too sometimes think the unofficially intended "good" ending is synthesis. I did that my first time through)

 

all apologies Cap and Gown, I will retire to the commons with the rest of the ignorant rabble.

I think cap was just trying to be helpful since this sub forum doesn't get as much traffic as the story one.

Not only does this forum not get as much traffic, this thread, because it is sooo old will not get much traffic either. If you want a productive discussion it would be best to start a thread in the Story forum.

I didn't need a productive thread. I needed a few short comments on a small question somewhat related to this thread, and it was taken care of. 

But I forgot the rules of internet forums: post count rules all. I will be in the wrong for the next thousand or so posts. 

Anyway my question was handled so...

It was just an attempt to help. It was not meant to derogate your question. The discussion of why a particular ending is "better" has received much attention with many different opinions expressed. While Capn provides one synopsis, it is not the only synopsis of why many folk feel destroy is better. I still think you should go ahead and start a thread in order to get a sense of why people feel the way they do.

Thank you ambassador. Good day.

You gain 3% of galactic readiness for every won match, that's 17 matches to go from 50% to 100%. It's about 4 hours of Bronze runs, then you just need to run one match every day to keep it at 100%, are you telling me that you can't spread 17 matches during your whole SP campaign?!

 

No. He's telling you that he shouldn't have to, because customers were assured they wouldn't have to. Something I was very happy about what with my original and continued intent to have zero MP matches to spread anywhere. I don't want to play multiplayer. I have BF4, Elder Scrolls Online, and Watchdogs if I want to play multiplayer. I bought Mass Effect to play alone and that's how I expected it to stay and it didn't. Given the threads on this, it was clearly a view of many.

Being out of the shadow of the reapers entirely sounds like a good thing to me.
