Pfft. I have no idea where you get this idea that we'll all end up like Reapers. Humans are organic. So are bacteria. If a hypothetical domain of synthetic life suddenly became organic, would they all become like bacteria? Or like humans? Or like roundworms? And that Saren thought combining organics and synthetics might be a good idea is indicative of exactly nothing. A villain with pretensions to world domination might also be a loving father, that doesn't make being a loving father a bad idea. The merit of an idea is independent from the morality of those who support them.BatmanTurian wrote...
So then I take it you agree with the Reapers view and Saren's view, that Organics and synthetics must be joined together hodgepodge, you know, like how a Reaper is built. Do you guys even think about the implications of these choices you make and believe are right? In ME2 you fought the epitome of sythesis, the human reaper.The fact that you believe Sythesis is a good ending is frankly disturbing.Ieldra2 wrote...
I disagree. The Synthesis is a very good ending. Having said that, the endings should be balanced in their side effects.Bill Casey wrote...
That would have been revolting...
The idea that Synthesis is considered the best option is downright deplorable...
That people find the Synthesis "disturbing" is based on a misguided notion of the sanctity of the natural. But organic life is nothing special. Neither is synthetic life. Intelligent life as such, that's special. Biochemistry doesn't matter.
Besides, if you're interested in debating this in more depth, here's my take on the Synthesis
[
Eventually, in a post-human age, we will be part-synthetic. I don't dispute this and I'd welcome it.
But in this case, the synthesis is forced on people who may possibly not even want it. And again, I point you to the first game's antagonist, Saren, who was an agent of the Reapers. And what are reapers again? Part organic, part machine. What is their goal? Assimilation to preserve organics through synthesis. Their methods are violent and brutal and they forcibly push Species into extinction. In the context of the game, Sythesis is just surrendering to the same logic Saren had.
