Because I was so confused and disorientated by the sudden appearance of a deus ex machina that I stumbled forwards into the light and didn't realise I had to go in a different direction to actually destroy the Reapers

LOL: I made the same mistake. But then I replayed the ending and choose destroy wich I would have choose from the beginning if I wasn't so confused by the shift in tone, the heavy exposition and (lack of) options during the final sequences.

I hate syntheses ending. It's either control or destroy.

Before knowing anything about the endings, I picked it because it was green and that made it look special. I fully intended to go back and watch the other two, but that one looked special so I went with it first. Then I lost all motivation to look at the other two endings and technically never did end up choosing them since I haven't played the game again.

I almost wonder if they didn't expect so many people to be able to achieve peace between the Geth and the Quarians. Perhaps they figured they set the necessary requirements so high that it would be a rare thing, and the vast majority of people would instead have chosen one or the other.

One wiping out the other would really play into Ghost Kid's thoughts on the organic-synthetic battles.

Instead, it's a huge obvious "uh, wait a second" moment never used.

Just wondering.

[Catastrophy]

It was the biggest pit to jump into.

EDIT:
I forgot: In ME2, Shepard already states: "This is - it's green!"

• Didn't do destroy because EDI and the Geth would be killed.
• Didn't do control because I hate the Illusive Man.

Bioware didn't give any other options.

[Nynaeve]

I picked it as it was the perfect solution. Simple.

[78stonewobble]

Well destroy would supposedly kill off EDI and the Geth.

Control seemed like too risky a bet.

So synthesis it is. -.-

Besides life continued as usual in the synthesis ending...

Picked it on the first run of ME3 because I couldn't believe the rumors were true - the endings to ME3 were identical to Deus Ex (released in 2000, one of my favourite games, ever).

Turned out the Synthesis ending from Deus Ex was significantly better; foreshadowed and narrated from the very start of the game.

ME3's Synthesis is an inexplicable over-magical Endlösung that somehow injects circuitboard traces onto (and into) every living organic thing complete with apparently some kind of unspecified AI firmware because that's how you create a "new DNA" that will bring peace and harmony to everyone and everything with the amazing power of a green dark energy beam of bliss.

Seriously the only way this tripe can be explained (sorry - "clarified") away is with the Indoctrination Theory.

I pick synthesis because I'm partially synthetic, and I don't have any doubts that geth and EDI are living beings. I don't choose control 'cause I'd go crazy trapped as mind, alone - no one deserves David Archer or former species trapped in some synthetic body fate. And I would never choose destroy because I don't play MP, so even if I'd be guided by selfish reasons, I can't achieve that famous N7 chest starts to breathe ending... meaning, I'm dead no matter what I choose lol.

Because I hate diversity. We must all be the same to get along.

This. Joke man I picked control the first time, then realized it was **** and loaded again and picked Destroy. Then I found out every ending sucks. But I did not consider green for a second.

Because it hade none of the negatives of the other two. I dont really care if shepard dies, but synthisis permanetly stops the conflict, and does not kill any of my allies.

Yeah we get this new artificial & biological combo type of life that continues like nothing ever happened and free to create pure artificial life again again?

How'd that fix things?

I choose green because Luke Skywalker's light saber was green in the last few movies.

I mean really, with such arbitrary choices, what's the difference as to why?

This.

I do care that Shepard dies, but I wouldn't betray my principles by choosing Destroy for Shepard's survival. Control is acceptable, but Synthesis actually makes peace with the Reapers - they leave of their own will. The synthetic/organic merge is a step forward in evolution and as such an added benefit instead of a problem. Being organic or synthetic is nothing special. Being *life* is something special, and throughout the trilogy it's been implied again and again that synthetics are life, highlighted by the peace between geth and quarians.

What I would have liked is that peace between quarians and geth is a prerequisite for the Synthesis.

 only  valid reason I can see for choosing Synthesis is that you completely believe what the Starchild is saying, 

I chose synth, and yes i did believe everything he told me. 

Why?

Because your are forced to take him at his word. In that the game made a huge error. 

If the star child can lie, then why would i believe him when he says shooting this red thing would kill all the reapers and himself. Why would it tell me how to kill it. Why could it not be lying about destroy, and be trying to get you to blow up the power conduit on the right that feeds power to the console on the left, which is where you could make your actual choices from. 

See, to engage the scene at all you have to assume the catalyst is telling the truth, there in lies the true problem with the ending. 

Agree to the 100%.

Double post but, i agree with this you say to the 100% as well. THAT was the reason i choose synthesis.

So the new queen of the world in the Synthesis ending is this?



At least the Borg maintain the green light and all...perhaps the ending of ME3 in actuality intersects at some future later date with the Star Trek universe...now we know where the Borg came from!

Other than choosing it in one of my playthroughs just to see any differences, I would never have Shepard choose green willingly. Nothing about the kid said "Trust me". Since green was the option he seemed to want me to take, it was the option I was most likely to distrust.

Sorry, but having everyones consciousness uploaded into a matrix style world inside a reaper shell sounds like exactly what the reapers wanted. To me, choosing green is essentially a reapers win scenario.

[utaker1988]

I gave no real thought when I chose it. It was my second play through and it was available, wasn't the first time. My EMS was so bad, I only had one direction to go in.... or did I, really I was so stunned at that point I really can't remember if Control was available or not.

Anyway, my thought process. Well, it's Green, Shep misses Thane and he's green. The Statue of Liberty represents freedom and such and it's green. I like broccoli and that's green. Green means go on traffic lights. Pot is green and obviously someone was smoking it when they thought these endings were good. So, green must be the right choice. Swan dive......

ALL OF THIS.:happy:

I chose it simply because I didn't care and my shep was standing closest to it.  I just kept thinking "you have to be kidding me, there must be something else after this" - nope. 

[Arppis]

Because I forgot which side was destroy and which side was control... I didn't want the control ending. So I picked the middle path and decided to go for destroy next time.

[dragondragon]

I didn't really understand what the implications would be in detail, but at least it wouldn't kill the geth. Besides control seemed to risky

[Ice Cold J]

I have to say I agree.

This ending changes EVERYONE and EVERYTHING without even considering them This is a true renegade ending.

Why should we assume that all life would want to be a techno-organic blend? This seems the definition of "playing God."

Jussayin'.

I would have liked this, too. It would have made more sense to have synthesis come up as an option based on active choices you had made to try and bridge the gap between organic and synthetic life... though I guess then the devs wouldn't have had anything whatsoever to do with the EMS score they gave us.

[The Devlish Redhead]

I chose it because I felt it was the optimal ending given the other two choices. Sure we could have had my commander Shepard being boss of the Reapers and all but then what's to stop me from going rogue and toasting the galaxy with my new Reaper buddies. In control the commander should have told them all to leave and never come back....

The other ending is worse as you kill the Geth and any other cybernetic life forms in the galaxy, and you kill EDI unless they can rebuild her and restore her from a backup drive.

So I chose synthesis ...
