Just a point Id like to bring up. Shepard is partly synthetic but this does not really do much to effect Shepards view on synthetics vs organics one way or another. Its very unclear as to what synthesis actually does in terms of effecting how we think and feel mentally.
Its obvious its a good thing physically since Joker seems to have gotten over his bone disease, but theres nothing other then the catalyst word (which alone makes me not want to pick it) to suggest it would actually provide a solution to lets say (for example) Geth vs Qurians conflict. The Qurians attacked the geth because they were afraid of the possibility the geth could rise up against them, well the Geth simply just tried to defend their existance. It was not because organics just hated synthetics and the other way around.
Its been presents as a solution to this conflict because it makes us more "similar" but the only way I can see it actually removing the conflict altogether is by taking away free will and instead forcing us to think the same way.
Allan has said on these forums that regardless of whether or not synthetics and organics were at war, they eventually would end up fighting. This was a flawed way to look at it for me because how i personally see synthesis, I can just as much argue that over a long period of time, the Geth and the Qurians could still end up having a war regardless of what option i picked.
Another point that really bothers me is it been called the final solution or final evolution as if its the pinnacle of all life, the same thing we were told about the reapers which basically just turned out to be giant husks that all look the same and are been controlled, the same guy is telling us that synthesis is now the height of our evolution, that.... concerns me quite a bit. Besides isnt one of the defining features of life and chaos that its always changing and evolving? It brings me back to the point of free will, if you make something perfect it cannot grow or learn from its mistakes. If its already perfect then couldnt you argue it becomes static? Its incapable of growth, may as well be a husk anyways.
Theres alot of beauty to be found in making a mistake and learning from it. Tali realizing the Geth (legion in particular) are basically alive and Mordin saying "I made a mistake!" in regards to the genophage, something he sincerly thought was for the best of all life, are character defining moments.
I may make many mistakes as a human, but those mistakes I can take and use to grow and become a better person. Synthesis takes away from the journey because it simply wants to jump everyone to the end and ignore why been flawed can be a good thing too and what perfection even really means (or if there is such a thing)
No offense OP but I dont think this is an issue of it not been presented well or been explained well enough, but rather with the arguable idea of synthesis itself and what it actually means for our future.
No I think that synthesis leads to a better future It' sort of clear from what you pick up in the game.
How is it a better future though? It does not remove conflict, it does not address if it effects our free will at all and its coming from the same guy who believed the reapers were the height of evolution who admitted he was in control.
Seems like its a better future for the catalyst but at best leaves organics mindless husks.
As seen from the end of the normandy they are not mindless husks they have thier own inteligence still.
Also nothing will ever remove conflict apart from everyone/thing dying.
This also does not affect free will as it only mixes them, I agree this was against thier will but they can change after it.
If it does not remove conflict then i see no point to the reapers existence to begin with. Wasnt his (the catalyst) whole purpose to preserve life and wasnt the reapers his way of doing that. Is it really so important if life is been wiped out by synthetics compared to been wiped out by other life?
The reapers stopped al organics from being wiped out, synthetics would doom all organics.
The geth could still wipe everyone else out though, so what difference would it make?
Retour en haut
man synthesis makes no sense don't you understand??
