So we get this DEM thrown at us that negates everything we have done just to get presented choices out of the blue that are neither smart nor helpful. Why does Shepard being up there prove anything? It could be luck, and hell, if Shepard died in that last assault he/she sure would not be up there. So how did Shepard survive it? Yeah with luck. So the first reasoning that is wrong is that Shepard having got so far is anything but luck and proves anything aside from the fact that if there is a chance for an event happen and you have an eternity to try then at some point you will succeed. Just multiply a chance of one to a million with the eternity to see what I mean. If an AI or organic cannot process that then it is probably flawed.
Then the reasoning of the 'created' destroying the 'creators'. All right it happened to this ancient species. People destroy each other all the time. Hell animals do that. No matter if creator or created. It is the essential conflict of all life. Organic or otherwise. And even the catalyst cannot change that even if it wipes out the advanced species, even if it wipes out the synthetics, even if it merges sythetics and organics. Are you telling me that any of this will prevent future wars and one species, organic or synthetic, wiping out others or all of them including themselves?
On the contrary if you strip a life form from the ability to make mistakes and correct them then you take away the ability to evolve. You take away purpose. It's like you force children to stay children forever because you don't want them to become adults and own their mistakes, and lifes for that matter. And how is that good? Any ending will just result in the cycles of destruction to continue by the game's own logic. Because synthetics are simply artificial life. If you destroy them they can be rebuilt. Most senseless endeavor ever. The ancient race itself built the mass relays, how will a future race be prevented from building them again at some point in the future? I have not seen that being addressed.
Merge of synthetic and organic life is by nature impossible. Of course you can replace human parts with synthetic. But synthetic parts cannot grow or being 'birthed'. I want to see where this kind of thing comes from. What is it based on? Hey leaves with sythetic veins are really fun from an artist point of view. But it's just silly to assume that something like that could really happen. Especially without even evolutionary steps being necessary just by 'snip' Reaper magic.
Last but not least, our galaxy is not the only one. Is shepard changing the fate of all the galaxies in the world? If not, this 'solution' will only last until someone actually finds a way to 'jump' from one galaxy to another. And then we have the same situation as before. Because 'they' may be either synthetics or organics. Or both.
Anyway, none of the solutions 'helps' the problem the catalyst tried to fix. If it found at a point so far away as billions of years, on the pinnacle of it's civilisation, that the only way to 'solve' this problem was to build the reapers and cycles of destuction, then why did it change now? And why does it give Mr. or Mrs. Alliance Soldier the choice of what should happen to the galaxy?
I would really like if someone who supports the endings makes sense of this mess and not just states the obligatory 'I liked it', 'sad endings are good endings', or 'you're just butthurt Shepard dies' response. I would really like to see one of them step up and make sense to it. You know, with logic, common sense, ratio, etc. All the things that this ending lacks imo. Even appreciate if a Bioware writer could clear that up for everyone. Because obviously alot of people are confused wtf this is supposed to mean.
