Okay, so what if the catalyst is operating on faulty logic? The catalyst is wrong about something but why is that a flaw in story telling? The kid even admitted in the end that he was wrong to invade.


Because Shepard just up and believes every single word he says, despite being witness to the exact opposite of what the Catalyst says.

That was not the evidence you asked for.  You asked for evidence of an instant when synthetics would turn on their creators.  Which is also what the Catalyst said would happen.  I provided that evidence.


There isn't even evidence of that.

Now you're blatantly lying.  That is precisely what we were told happened.


Tell me again, because I can't find it.

The geth didn't rebel, nor did the zha'til. What other synthetic species do we know of?

So the Catalyst's logic is faulty because Shepard doesn't question it?

Only because Bioware decided to strip Shepard of all intelligence at that moment.

the catalyst already had prepared a few contingency plans, so nothing to do but pick the most agreeable one. In any case, it would appear that the catalyst had decided that there would be no more reaping cycles at least in that galaxy. So it's kind of a victory if you ask me.

Then Shepard's ghost comes to the realization that he's jsut damned trillions of people by destroying the relays.

Nah, that's what the Normandy crash showed us.And the catalyst had only just admitted that the galaxy doesn't need the Reapers to enforce order. He'd be a hypocrite to destroy all the systems with the mass relays in them after saying that.

Not necessarily. FTL drives still work and they would be able to traverse solar systems. It would just take years instead of minutes.

No, they didn't, since the zha technically evolved into the zha'til by implanting themsleves with cybernetics. They didn't rebel against anyone, but they waged a war with the Protheans (which the Protheans won).

I'm still waiting for an all-powerful AI god-being to come in and exterminate organic life.

I think Ventus is referring to the equally erroneus idea that every systm in the galaxy with a relay was destroyed.

Anyway, no point in arguing over the small details until Bioware release the full ending as DLC next month. They never quite explained what the catalyst did to the relays.

I'm talking about the people that live in the neighboring star systems near the relays.

Arrival made it perfectly clear what happens.

inb4 different kind of explosion.

1. Show me proof.

2. It's still a massive eezo engine exploding. It will be freaking massive, if not as freaking massive as it was in Arrival.

The zha'til were AI designed by the zha to run the cybernetics they required to survive,  They hijacked their masters and turned their descendants into a slave species.  The zha and the zha'til were seperate entities.  There's your evidence.

Again, not the evidence you asked for.

Arrival was just a piece of DLC... a very late one at that. No matter what you saw in Arrival fact is that most of the millions who saw the ending of DLC are ignorant to what happened in Arrival. So until proven otherwise I'm going to assume that Bioware just pretended that Arrival never happened. Notice how none of it was acknowledged in ME3.

You're right it is a massive eezo engine exploding. One of the reasons that the Alpha relay had such a massive explosion was because of all of the energy that was released in said explosion.

If you look at the destruction of the relay network at the end of ME3 you can see that the relay expels its energy into the next relay and then falls apart (yes, still a big explosion). Looking at it from that standpoint which ever relay is the last in the network to get the energy boost would be the one to destroy it's system.

I won't bother.  I have to stop fooling myself that it's possible to reason with people intent on misinterpretting the endings.

Saren wanted organics to become one with the Reapers through indoctrination.

Synthesis is quite different.

Of course, you have nothing to say, so you resort to paraphrasing "you're an idiot".

I hate the synthesis ending more then anything. That and I think they should have offered you the choice of either controlling the Reapers but at the cost of your own life or killing them and destroying the Mass Relays in the process. I think EDI and the Geth should have been left out of the equation so as to not ****** off the people who actually made peace with the Geth. Either way good characters have died along the way. It should have ended with a big memorial to all those who died not the Normandy crashing for no reason on some unknown planet.
