Synthesis (What the hell is this?)/Control (Well Shepard isn't theorically dead but his body is ****ed and he can't reunite with his crew).

[kakyo01]

delete the spacechild would be my wish (negating all endings)...

if I have to choose from the 3 existing endings I'd choose "Synthesis"... that's the least possible ending (hurray, space magic)

Not even a question: Synthesis. It's the most nonsensical (Joker has circuits now -- wtf!?), but it actually doesn't solve the problem it sets out to address.

Let's suppose that you believe (despite all the in game evidence) the Starchild -- that synthetic and organic life must inevitably fight. The problem is not that synthetic life is silicon. It's that synthetic life is created, rather than evolved. As such, they quarrel because synthetics have a defined purpose, while they view organics as just something that came about as a result of chance.

All synthesis does is give organics silicon parts; it doesn't change anything about their mindset (or the mindset of synthetics). So you then have to ask yourself: If a silicon based life form evolved (which is possible), synthetics would have the same problem with life form -- it's about the evolution.

So why would we change just because we have wires?

You can get a version of this argument from Javik if you talk to him about AIs during the Quarian/Geth conflict -- it makes more sense for him to make it, since he's basically suffering from the bigotry that comes from watching synthetics take apart a trillion people. He has literal survivor bias!

I'm not sure where the Starchild gets its POV from, but I think it's pretty clear it's not even internally consistent.

Synthesis

I can't stand the notion that without biological differences there would be no more conflicts, I had hoped such theories had been proofen false after 1945. I mean obviously the crusades weren't motivated by religious believes or political reasons but because of the different DNA's of Europeans and Arabs *sarcasm*

Pick a card.

Seriously, couldn't give a toss which.

Control - doesn't seem to make much sense. How can a dead Shepard control the Reapers? Mental upload? Instant reprogramming? Seances? Why wouldn't Shepard's contact with the Reaper consciousness simply result in Indoctrination and absorption, like everyone else's?

Destroy - doesn't seem to make much sense. Why would destroying the Reapers destroy the geth and EDI? Does it damage all technology? Where is the line between synthetic 'life' and synthetic objects? If it was supposed to destroy all organic life in the universe, I would expect it to affect everything from micro-organisms to plants to animals to people. What happens to the quarians who are permitting geth to interface with their suits? Or even just those suits themselves?

Synthesis - makes absolutely no sense, and is (to me) the most morally repugnant as well (which says something, since the other options involve genocide and slavery). Spits in the face of all of Shepard's potential philosophies, too - Paragon Shep would hate forcing a new DNA on unwilling people and robbing the galaxy of its diversity, Renegade Shep would hate destroying humanity and its unique potential. It also stretches suspension of disbelief to breaking.

I'm going with synthesis, but they all just... just suck so much.

Control, as it runs contrary to everything Shepard has stood and fought for since the first game. Synthesis is right there though, as we have no way of knowing that combining all people with what is essentially Reaper parts is not just going to make them all mindlessly indoctrinated.

Synthesis all the way. Plants becoming hybrids too? Who thought this was a good idea?

[PandaThing]

I don't know.....Red, Green or Blue?

Decisions in Mass Effect have so much difficult.....

[NM_Che56]

Green is symbolic of the predominant color in the room when the idea of synthesis was conceived...if you smell me.

[jspiess]

Synthesis - GTFO, I want a real ending

No more photosynthesis???

I didn't even think of plants!

But hey, Christmas trees will grow WITH LEDs!  That's kinda cool I guess.

[Pottumuusi]

Synthesis makes the least sense so that would be it.

[Suparaddy]

Green.

[Creston918]

Why would they have to do that? Star Child can't create an extra freaking button in his Ending Machine?

Not even with Space Magic?™

[D4rkSektor]

Although none of the endings really make that much sense, I think the synthesis ending is the worst of them. You can suddenly just decide to rewrite every life forms' DNA so that it's partly organic and partly synthetic (or is it 100% synthetic?)? I don't think so.

[czombie]

All of the endings are basically the same. I'd like it if they got rid of all of them, but if they kept the current ending as one of many possible endings, it would not bother me. Just get rid of the Starchild, though.

[Nobrandminda]

 I can't imagine a set of circumstances where something like that would happen.  If they're going to add to the ending, they'll add to the ending.  If they're going to start from scratch with the ending, they'll start from scratch with the ending.  I just can't imagine them saying "Well, we have to have three endings, and only two of the current ones can make the cut."

It doesn't matter anyway, they're all pretty much the same in terms of what's shown in game.

[Splinter Cell 108]

Synthesis since it practically invalidates all the effort and fighting plus I fail to see how a wave of green energy is supposed to make people into organic/synthetic hybrids, it also homogenizes the entire galaxy. Diversity is necessary for the galaxy.

[Icinix]

Synthesis.

The cultural genocide of the galaxy against their wishes or will is vile and disgusting.

[wasawsolos]

all of them?


Seriously though, if I had to pick one, I would probably pick synthesis since that seems to be the most douche/unexplainable move out of the three. I mean, if you pick that, you are basically negating me1....

[Ziggeh]

The one with the kid.

[TheShinySword]

Synthesis. I like it aesthetically (literally, I like the way the beam scene looks). But it's nonsensical. Destroy has the stupid kill the geth and EDI thing attached but without that I don't have a problem with it. And control is nice because it is essentially Shepard's renegade pride getting the better of her.

[SuperTeal]

If I were Bioware I would just scrap the entire ending after the glowing elevator.  It's poorly written and explains nothing.

Unless they go with the Indoc theory and all of the stuff after Harbingers beam was a dream - in which case I don't care - keep it the way it is so that future players can go "WTF!"  and then go "THANK GOD!"
