Synthesis.  It's a bad thing.  Oh yes.


"The randomalienname - they were as the Geth are, to this cycle.  Their creators lived on a dying world.  It was beyond their ability to save, so they resorted to implants to enhance their intelligence.

The AI seized their physical body.  It could alter their genetic material at the deepest level.  In time, the offspring were moulded into a slave race.  Few organic traces were left.  They were monsters.

All machines commit treachery.  The one you brought onboard is no different.  They are more alien than you and I are to each other.  Organics do not know how we were created.  Some say by chance, some say by mircale.  It is a mystery. 

But synthetics... (know we created them).  And they know we are flawed.  They are immortal, we are not.  They see time as an illusion, we are trapped by it's limitations.  Above all, machines know the reason they were created. 

They serve a purpose, while we search aimlessly for ours.  In their eyes, organics have no reason to exist.  Do not trust them, Commander.

There is room for only one order of conciouness in the galaxy - the order of the machines, or the chaos of organics.  Throw the machine out of the airlock, Commander."


Javik isn't really talking about Legion, is he?  He's talking about Starchild, and the spurious nonsense he spouts.


Child: There is another solution.

Shepard: Yeah?

Child:
Synthesis.

Shepard: And that is?

Child: We combine organic life with synthetic life!  Basically you all get nice new semi-synthetic bodies, which are not at all susceptible to Reaper influence.  You'll all live happily ever after... well, until I hit the indoctrination switch, anyway.  Then you'll be lobotomised cattle and servants, forever willing to give up your lives to your supreme overlord - me.



Yeah, thanks kid.  But no thanks.

I agree. The disturbing thing is that the leaked script and the game itself both indicate that synthesis is supposed to be the best.

:sick:

At least Bioware is aware of the EMS issue now and will be fixing it so it will easier to get the Shepard "breathe" scene.

Problem Pro-synthesis people?

Well, if that's the case, the writers were obviously downing vast quantities of brainsmash moonjuice when they thought up the idea.

Yeah, synthesis is messed up. Don't see why anybody would even consider choosing it, or why BioWare made it the "perfect" ending.

Yep, multiple times throughout the games it is shown that the idea of Synthesis is bad. First with Saren, then the Collectors, and then with what Javik said.

Don't forget Overlord.  Everything we've seen has shown that forcibly combining organics and synthetics simply does not end well.

I wish Javik could go with you to the end.

He would troll that dumb kid like nobody's business.

He has certainly made some serious errors in implementation of material. I'm not to fond of how much he wants me to make inferences about his writing. The things to infer are quite simply not there. Perspicacity is not his strength, that's for sure.

Guess what's on Stanley Woo's blog post?

Apparently he attended a "Pure Speculation" festival. :blink:

Oh god, that should have been a sign!

I just don't know.

This is all Shepard's fault. What a tool she was. I have to spend the rest of my life as a weird spooky robotty person Because she shagged a reaper.

YES.  THIS.

I would pay BIG MONEY for "throw him out the airlock" to be an additional option when talking with Vent Boy.

Paragon/Renegade interrupt?  :lol:

It was before release, a cryptic clue. We should have listened, Stanley! Why didn't we listen!

If that's true... well, I don't know what to say, it doesn't make any sense. It's stupid. So Bioware thought that the best way to end the trilogy is turning every organic into whatever cyborg with silicon DNA and every synthetic into...eh... some kind of three-fingered cylon?

It's because they were literally copying Deus Ex. The mistake they made was that with the Deus Ex version of synthesis, it was only the main character and the other options were much, much worse for the world. Not forced genetic rape for everyone that does very little to help the situation, as it was in ME3.
