Control has all the advantages of Destroy, plus more, with no disadvantages besides the destruction of the Relays (which is less of a blow with the Reapers still around), which of course happens anyways.

The disadvantage is that you become the next indoctrinated starbrat, whose sole purpose is to convince the hero of the next cycle to build the crucible of the advantages of replacing you.


Not much to make up, you want to play control is good cuz the kid says so and i believe him... then you have to taken in all he says.  He also says after you gain control, key word gain, you wil lose everything.  Hint hint you lose control.

You have total control over the Reapers, not the other way around. Shep isn't indoctrinated in Control; if anything, Shep indoctrinates the Reapers.


For all over a minute.


What? Says who? You're just making things up now.


People have a habit of jumping to conslusions and making things up when it comes to control.

I always choose destroy, it's what I set out to do. I don't believe reaper boy that EDI and the Geth will die, see no proof of it and it just sounds like he is trying to make destroy sound like the worst option.

Synthesis is horrifying and trying to control the reapers sounds like the stupidest idea ever. Lets not forget that they both also let the reapers get away with trillions upon trillions of murders and the genocide of thousands of different species.

Headcanoning that of all the things to lie about, Starboy chose "The geth will die" fixes all wounds.

Well, for my 2, and only play throughs, I picked destroy...now I don't even want to play anymore...maybe if there was an option to retcon the ME universe, or destroy the galaxy, I'd play again, as it is...meh, who cares, reapers pretty much win either way...

You're not good at excessively happy headcanon, are you? ;)

I went straight to synthesis, forgetting what was where. I was still stunned over the whole kid thing. Just wanted it to end.


Little did I know I'd be in bed with the likes of Saren and Kai Leng. Bad move. Can it be more obvious?


This is exactly what happened to me. I was in shock that this was where and how Mass Effect was ending

Unwilling to kill the Geth
Destruction of relays made Control a moot point, plus TIM died because of this
Synthesis is an unknown so what did i have to loose at that point by taking a leap. 
Still really shocked by the kid and the three choices, i picked the one i thought would help the most people survive , not like that changes much.

Honestly i can't Pick Destroy unless i know for sure it won't kill the Geth and other synthetics.

Yeah, there's something to be said for each. For what it's worth, I think synthesis may be the most heroic and is probably the most optimistic. It's hard to understand, but the way it's presented in game, it's a good thing. Destroy is pragmatic, certain and practical. Control seems nuetral. Yeah, you sacrifice Shepard to save the galaxy, but...

So you throw yourself into a reaper beam?

Reapers, a combination of flesh and technology, they believe themselves to be the pinnacle of evolution.

Synthesis, a combination of organics and synthetics, the ultimate evolution.

What you are doing is thinking like a reaper.

You know what you must do, Legion would want it, EDI would want it. Now do your duty and DESTROY THE REAPERS!

Actually the game presents it as a bad thing, only the catalyst presents it as a good thing.

STOP ADMITTING THE STAR CHILD'S RIGHT AND ORGANICS MUST FIGHT SYNTHETICS. 

Some Shepards choose to take a gamble and not leave anyone behind. Some go for certainty.

Because EDI and Joker look so sad in that last cutscene after it takes effect.

I think it would be more difficult to convince a Reaper to kill itself. They're not that stupid you know...

I don't think that had anything to do with it being on fire, and everything to do with the fact that TIM always thought everything he was doing was best for humanity and earth.

I never said that in the slightest.... I was saying that the reapers already are a mix of organics and sythetics they think their the pinnacle of evolution, by choosing synthesis you admit they are right and spare them. You also allow yourself to think like they do which isn't conducive to good mental health... if you know what I mean.

No comment on what Shep is seeing in his head upon his death.

Well, synthesis may or may not be 'higher' than what the Reapers can achieve. Reapers alone could not end the 'cycle', leaving aside whether or not that's a thing that's real. But whatever goes on in synthesis apparently does.

And he's probably seeing Liara (AGAIN) unless he romanced Ashley, when he dies.

IT or not, when I was presented with the options on my primary play through, destroy was the only feasible option for me. The fact that I had spent three games trying to destroy them, and the fact that the Reaper overlord was practically begging me to choose anything other than destroy made it an easy choice.

Not to fuss, but you spent 3 games trying to 'end the threat of the reapers'.

All 3 endings do that.
