Just to see what the ending looked like. Other than that, it is the most evil ending unless you're brainwashed enough to believe in IT.

Kid already lies about destroy killing shep, EDI and the Geth could have also been spared.

People have said they saw edi alive after picking the destroy ending.

Also this lol I can't believe i forgot. And yes her coming out is baised on a point value, she and vega start at the lowst so if you weant to see them they have to bw the only squaddies you talk to.

[ihaveaglitch]

I chose red because that's what I was working for since the beginning. I'd already killed the Geth, and EDI is just software, you're only destroying her body!

[webhead921]

I wanted the reapers to be gone forever, and I knew that the catalyst's reasoning was flawed because I brokered peace between the geth and the quarians. I was sorry for the loss of the geth and edi, but the reapers needed to be destroyed.

I could not pick control- yea the reapers would be gone for now, but shepard dies in the control ending. Who's to say the reapers won't come back 50,000 years later? Shepard wants to get rid of the reapers PERMANENTLY.

I could not pick syntheses- this reminded me too much of what Saren wanted. imposing a fundamental change on the entire galaxy felt wrong.

So I chose destroy.

[Laurcus]

I chose destruction because control was automatically out, because I don't trust TIM, and synthesis just seemed too weird. I felt I didn't have the right to force synthesis on the whole galaxy, and it just seemed like too much of an unknown.

The only downside I saw to destroy was EDI/Geth not surviving. So I thought about what Legion and EDI would say and do if they were facing that choice with me. I believe they would agree with my logic about synthesis being too much of an unknown. That leaves control and destroy. I believe the Reapers are too dangerous to be controlled. It's what the narrative has taught me for the entire trilogy.

I believe instead of gambling on synthesis, or making the grievous error of control, they would choose to sacrifice themselves if it meant victory. On the other hand, if the situations were reversed and organic life were to be wiped out in the destroy ending, I think they would still pick it, and so would I. Organic life would flourish again, just as synthetic will in the destroy ending.

Victory at all costs. The destruction of the Reapers was the only path to true victory, no matter the sacrifice. I think every soldier in the war, be they synthetic or organic would understand and agree with my reasoning. Everyone that fought in the battle for Earth did so with the understanding that I would do everything in my power to destroy the Reapers. Choosing synthesis or control seems like a betrayal to me.

It was ultimately the morality of duty that presented destroy as the only option to me.

The only mistake Shepard made was that he was looking at the explosion.

I also destroyed because that's what we were going for all along no? to get rid of the Reapers who have been trolling us since game 1.

why did you originally choose the destruction ending rather than the control or synthesis ending? Did you do it b/c you thought Shepard was potentially being indoctrinated? You just hate the Reapers? or something else.

Basically, I just want to know what was going through your mind and why you chose destruction.
 

When Starbaby said that all synthetics would die, I had zero reason to believe him.  Actually, no matter what he said, I couldn't help but think "This brat is lying to me because he knows we can kick his a**!"  And then when I offered three asinine solutions instead of what my Shepard would have really done, Destroy was the lesser of all the stupids.

[Visserian99]

I found it the least evil option with the highest chance of success.

If I took Synthesis, I was essentially playing God with every living being in the universe and doing what Saren was trying to do in ME1.
If I took Control, I didn't trust that Shepard would be able to control them indefinitely if at all. I mean Shepard is a pretty strong-willed person. But pit his mind against that of ancient machines whose existence is over several million years. I wouldn't trust Shepard, or anyone really, to be able to control them for long much less indefinitely. And thats not even getting into the idea of Shepard eventually being corrupted by power of that magnitude. My Shepard would side-step the possibility completely.

That left destroy.

[Vaeir09]

I decided to go and examine all the colors before I made my decision. I got stuck in front of the destroy option though so I just went with that.

[ForceXev]

I chose synthesis, but now I can't really remember why.  My feelings about the game and the ending have gone through such a ringer since I made that choice that I don't know what I was thinking.

This is actually one of my biggest problems with the ending -- I need the Destroy choice to more clearly be the right choice.  Because once I realized the connection between Saren and Synthesis, and of course the connection between TIM and Control is obvious, Destroy is clearly the correct choice.  Even if you disregard Indoc Theory, how can anyone accept that TIM and/or Saren where actually right all along -- that you CAN control the Reapers like TIM said, or that Synthesis really IS the next evolution of organic life like Saren said?  That not only messes up the ME3 story, it stomps on the ME1 story too, and suggests Shep was fighting the wrong battles the whole time.  Blaargh!

[BananaBlitz]

Well that was always Shepard's intent so that is why I picked destroy. Control was TIM and synthesis was Saren and I felt Shepard would not and has not agreed with their perspective and chose those options

true story

[kathic]

Paragon Shep was right. Humanity is not ready to control the power that the reapers posses. Without their destruction they would always loom overhead with the possibility of corruption. Killing the Geth and EDI was regrettable but in order to save trillions they had to die.

[Giantdeathrobot]

Because my goal was to defeat the Reapers.

Not foolishly try to control them or make them leave by comitting a completely unexplained (and frankly senseless) singularity

[Lenimph]

Because I don't believe a thing that kid says. He's a creepy mofo.

Besides why would my Shepard suddenly give up and cave into what the Reapers wanted her to believe in all along?The other options simply don't make any sense and I don't see how anyone thinks they do.

[Vhalkyrie]

The reason I wanted destroy is because just 5 minutes ago, I told TIM that you don't control the Reapers, the Reapers control you. To suddenly have Shepard say, "So TIM was right all along"... uh no. That is not what I (as Shepard) would say. The starkid identified itself as a Reaper - "They are my solution." Well screw you then. From that point on, anything it said was not credible.

[Pockydon]

Because it was my goal from the beginning.
Because Synthesis would turn everyone into ****ing husks!
Because no one can control the reapers.
Because Synthesis was Sarens plan.
Because Control was the illusive man's plan.
Because the star child tried to convince me not to.

I could go on...

[Zix13]

I did it because control and synthesis were too idiotic to consider.

[Gormane01]

I chose destory because it was the whole point of the game. Additionally you see Anderson the 'good guy' of the game doing it.

Control was unlikely to ever work, I know the thing says it will, but 30 hours of it being shouted at us that control wouldn't work. I trusted that evidence not a ghosty little weird kid.

Synthesis stuck me as everyone would become a reaper. We were told in ME2 extensively that reapers are organic/synthetic hybrids. The point was to save people from the reapers not turn them into them.

Therefore I figured destroy was the 'best' option, I know EDI would be lost as would the Geth, but the other options seemed that they would be lost ALONG with the organic life too.

[Bfler]

I took destroy because it was the goal through the entire game. I'm sure the Geth and EDI are ok with that if it helps to save billions of people.

[DC111]

Ahh.... I picked the Destruction ending in my second play through (after learning about the indoctrination theory) .

I chose syntheses in my first run for the following reason:
1) I knew you could not control the Reapers
2) I was still fighting internal hemorrhaging from the prior events (10 minutes) leading up to the decision (did not consider the indoc theory at the time)
3) Did not want to terminate EDI

[Lozark]

I'll just paraphrase the phone call I was having with a friend while I was finishing the game.

"What? What's happening? This is dumb."

"Yep."

"Is this really the ending? There's nothing after this?"

"Just the credits."

"This is stupid. This is stupid. Screw it, I'm blowing it all up. All of it."

"(uncontrollable laughter)"

"Wait, Liara? Why am I flashbacking to Liara? I hate Liara. I HATE LIARA, BIOWARE."

"(more laughter)"

"Where the hell is Joker going? He wouldn't do that. The crew wouldn't let him. EDI wouldn't let him."

"(laughter)"

"Wait, what. My crew is with him?  EDI's alive?  They all ran away? But now what?"

"It is a mystery."

"...What are Garrus and Tali going to eat?"

"It is a mystery."

"But the relays. The relays exploded. What happens then?"

"It is a mystery."

"AAAAAAUUUUUUGH meet me at IHOP"

And then we drowned our sorrows in pancakes.

It's the least evil of the three evils that are offered.

Also, Shepard gets to live and get laid for all his efforts.

Also my reasons for choosing Destroy.

[mahlerbone]

I went with destroy because I felt it was the most "Shepard" out of all the options. My femsheps goal since ME1 has been to destroy the Reapers, and while the indoctrination option did stick out to me during my first run, I felt that Shepard would have destroyed the Reapers rather than take control. It made the most sense to me. Go figure it's the "right" one.
