I chose the only Paragon ending that made sense, sacrificing myself to create the new synthetic/organic hybrid. Here's my problem with this though, because the rationale behind it doesnt make much sense to me.
The hybridization is supposed to end all animosity between organics and synthetics, but is that what would happen? The ending shows that organics get some synthetic blue glow on their skin, but are otherwise not much changed. I'm assuming that the synthetics stay completely syntheitic. So how does this end organic/synthetic animosity? Human/organic nature doesn't exactly need much reason to hate or dislike something. Do you honestly think that the organics who are partialy synthetic now won't diffrentiate between hybrids and full synthetics? Humans can pick any slight difference out and create large scale wars and atrocities over the slightest differences. Take Rwanda as an example. Two subclasses (Hutu's and Tutsi's) who are almost identical in every way, except some small social understandings were able to massacre each other by the millions over a small precieved difference. The same thing happened between the Jews and the Germans. Bioware however, wants me to believe that now synthetics and organics are going to become all lovey dovey because organics have some blue tint to them? The ending just didn't make sense to me for that reason. Atleast have a believable rationale. I garuntee that species are still going to find things to go to war over, especially full synthetics and hybrids. There, I've already been able to categorize the difference and plant the seeds of animosity.
Furthermore, a machine as advanced as the catalyst couldn't just take a bit of blood from Shepard and synthesize the special make up of his DNA to spread? He had to sacrifice himself for it to work? Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Its a sacrifice that doesn't make sense. Why can't it just replicate what makes his DNA special?
Futhermore, there is no GOD DAMN SENSE OF CLOSURE. So what happened to my crew? To my friends? Humanity? The Galaxy at large? Interspecies relationships for which I sacrificed myself? So they tell stories about "The Shepard", great, that doesn't tell me anything about what the new synthetic evolution accomplished.
The games good, and it's what I was expeciting as far as gameplay and all that. But those have to be some of the worst endings I've ever seen in my life. And the ending, for all intents and purposes, is more important that the last leg of the journey. It's what caps a trilogy. The end of something is supposed to bring closure, any amateur storyteller knows that. Way to fail in that respect.
