So, let's see who in the series are fans of Destroy/Control/Synthesis:
Destroy:
-Anderson
-Hackett
-All of your squadmates
-Basically every "good" npc.
Control/Synthesis:
-The Illusive Man
-Saren
-Kai Leng
-Dr Kenson
I - what - no.
Why do people keep using Saren and these people as reasons why we shouldn't pick Control/Synthesis?!
TIM did not
want what Shepard did in the control ending - TIM wanted himself, an
indoctrinated supremist, to control the reapers so that humanity could
stomp every other species under its collective heel.
Saren did not
want what Shepard did in the synthesis ending - he wanted to HELP the
Reapers in wiping out most of the galactivc community, and the few
survivors to serve the Reapers. To do this he also thought it was a good
idea to let the Reapers jam obvious, obtrusive Reaper tech into him,
replacing entire limbs with the stuff, which obviously helped them
control and indoctrinate him.
Control/Synthesis are not these things!
And
we don't see Anderson and all the 'good' NPCs in favour of the
actual destroy ending. They are in favour of the simple plan of
destroying the Reapers, which seems the only logical possiblity of
winning the War against them until we meet the Catalyst.
We
NEVER hear any of their opinions on the actual 'Destroy Choice' after
finding out what it will do (wipe out all synthetic life ect.) or
comparing it to the other choices.
We never hear ANY CHARACHTER IN THE GAMES SERIES'S OPINIONS ON WHETHER TO CHOOSE DESTROY, CONTROL OR SYNTHESIS. Some charachters voice views that seem similar to the choices, but NO
OTHER CHARACHTER OTHER THAN SHEPARD EVER BECOMES AWARE OF WHAT THE
ACTUAL CHOICES WE ARE PRESENTED WITH AT THE END OF THE GAME ARE, AND
GIVES AN OPINION ON WHAT ENDING THEY SUPPORT.
TIM and Saren both believed they had good intentions too.
In fact, to quote Saren on why people need to be allied with the reapers, turning the galaxy into reaper servants:
"I'm not doing this for myself. Don't you see, Sovreign will succeed. It
is inevitable. My way is the only way any of us will survive. I'm
forging an alliance between us and the Reapers, between organics and
machines, and in doing so, I will save more lives than have ever
existed. But you would undo my work. You would doom our entire
civilization to complete annihilation, and for that, you must die."
Sorry you were so taken in by all that.
The fact that the illusive man isn't doing it for the sake of the entire galaxy, well of course not. The reapers want him to help prevent you from destroying them. They will do that by appealing to what the Illusive man wants, which is power. In your case, they did it by making that seem like the "Paragon" choice, and you fell for it hook, line and sinker.

I think the problem, at least for Parashep, is the "and also the Geth and EDI and other AI will die". Especially if you've gone through all that trouble to get the Geth saved. You feel accomplished. And then you find out that to fulfill your ultimate goal, you have to commit genocide.
I was renegade Shep (and don't buy into indoctrination theory). I chose destroy because my Shepard doesn't care if one race and a few sentient AIs have to die to blow up the Reapers.
He also says that Shepard will die. And He/She clearly doesn't if you've got a high enough EMS (are "strong" enough).
Retour en haut
