The mostly synthetic Reapers exist to kill everyone every 50K years to make sure we don't create synthetics that will in turn kill us? The Citadel is somehow sentient and just knew to take the form of a human
child?

I went with the destroy ending.

So that means all ships and technology are gone? All those aliens are stuck in the Sol system, they will never see their families or home worlds again. Tali, who just got Rannoch will never see it ever again. Garrus will never see his father and sister or Palaven rebuilt. Liara will never see Thessia rebuilt. Wrex will never see his children.

All of the ships around Earth will either crash land like the Normandy or explode in space, killing everyone aboard.

The Normandy ran away and crash landed somewhere else... with my squaddies who were on Earth. They apparently were beamed up to the Normandy? Because there is no way the Normandy could land on Earth. Whatever planet they crash landed on will not have both dextro and levo amino acids -- either Garrus
and Tali would starve when the Normandy rations ran out or Joker, Liara, and the other humans would starve.

How bleak.



I'll be joining the indoctrinated/hallucinating on the streets of London camp.

in a nutshell yes, well summed up - bit of a let down really.....

If you play close attention to the dialogue, Destroy does not wipe out any technology other then the Relays. FTL drives would still work.

Regardless, since I choose not to believe anything the Catalyst says, we don't know anything for sure. I certainly don't believe that the Normandy crash scene is real. It's Shepard's vision of the people he cares about safe and sound.

FTL drives will *work*, but they won't have the infrastructure to fuel / maintain them, nor will they the reach needed to supply them.

Also note the retarded-insane-impossible evironmental / humanitarian crisis from all the refugees, eezo and space debris headed for Earth...

Maybe if enough liveships made it, they can supply the dextros with what they need... A bit of a longshot though, to say the least.

^This is all assuming that the blown Charon relay doesn't take out the Sol System... which we are totally unclear about right now.

Frankly, I'm shocked that Shep would take Catalyst's word on the 3 choices given him. Even Adam Jensen knew better than that. Granted, the fact that Catalyst looks like the dead kid points to Shep being delirious, but everything that Catalyst says is either a logical or thematic contradiction to what's been built up throughout the rest of the series.

Catalyst says that synthetics will always destroy organics. How is it that an AI uprising is inevitable, if the Geth (who purposely save the Quarians in the Morning War), EDI (who is basically a Reaper, but saves you all the time) and Shepard (who is implied by Catalyst to be part Reaper, but fights for everyone) stand as such stark evidence against? Catalyst also says that cyborgs are the pinnacle of life. Why are the Reapers against natural progression towards tech.singularity when they themselves are technically cybernetic (i.e.: why 'Reap' when they could just wait for the inevitable)? Why do Reapers suddenly care enough to try to 'preserve' organic life at all... when cybernetics are "the way to go"? It's so bad when you realize that the way things BW set things up, it's possible that from a logical sense, the Reapers could well have been working against their own purposes this whole time. If cybernetic life (a fusion of synthetic/organic life) arises from synthetic life, how is it that synthetic life inevitably annihilates organic life?? Even if it did, why is that bad? Why are 'cycles' needed?

The ending sequence is simply 15 mins of contradictions and non-sequitors right now.

Seems like the liveships are likely to have stayed back from the main battle.

But all this speculation is literally the problem. We have absolutely no idea what happened. I'm hoping for a mod the ends the game right after Shep and Anderson have their moment. The only cutscene we need to see is Earth's defenders being saved as the Reapers all blow up.

The liveships are basically dreadnoughts and are critical to the Quarian's fighting strength. That's why Adm. Koris is so important. Technically, they 'stay back', but in a fight against Sovereign-class dreads, they are still in the thick of the fight. This is, assuming that Quarians come to help at all.

The ambiguity of the endings are a huge problem. While all the major events are more or less the same throughout, we're left to speculate on the details. Given ME3s sudden dive towards the cynical and pessimistic at it's conclusion, it's hard to just assume that these things turned out well.

I still think the logical fallacies and dramatic let downs I touched on earlier are a bigger problem. There's probably more stuff that others have noticed as well.

Everything the Catalyst says is a lie. That's how I parse the ending in my own head.

Would be nice if people used the proper forum. Strategy and build tips please.
