 Okay, so, not sure if I'm not getting something here, but unless the ending WAS a dream or indoctronation, how did Shepard not die when all synthetic life perished?

I thought that was specifically why they place that video in the Cerberus base stating that Shepard, post-spaced and pre-implant, was clinically brain dead.

So, considering that Shepard's probably half-synthetic at this point, or, is she/he right in supposing that she/he is only a complex VI that thinks it's Commander Shepard.

I also thought that that's why Mr. God Starkid brought it up. Is it just a major plot hole that Bioware was too lazy to fill, or am I missing something?

I know the endings, I'm just wondering how, in the case of the Destruction ending, Shepard may be alive.

[DeeKay17]

I think Shepard is only partly synthetic. Although he was brain dead, Cerberus 'healing' must have made his brain alive again, or partially, or supported by tech. So, Geth and Reapers, being fully synthetic, die, but in Shepard only artificial parts die, and perhaps by that time he regenerated enough to live without implants.

just a guess...

Yet another thing that doesn't make sense, You are repeatedly told by EDI that the Reapers are also only partly synthetic. The are a synthetic/organic hybrid.

what in game makes you think that Shepard did not die?

The best Destroy ending has a cutscene which shows Shepard breathing in sharply. It suggests that he is alive.

Even the files say
End03_Shepard_Alive_Male.bik

No. Since even in the guide, it's considered "different". But never explained what it is.

If you arrive at the final battle with a decent amount of war assets, and choose Destroy, then Shepard appears to survive. No second playthrough needed.

Then how come it did not work for me? I had more than 7000 assets and 100% readiness, and I chose to destroy. wtf?

Are you sure you didn't miss it?

It is literally less than a second long tagged at the very end of the cutscene.

That seems rather odd. I think I had around 7000 and something like 80%. Got the scene every time.
