Why do people assume the catalyst is telling the truth concerning destroy, but not control and synthesis?



As far as I understand, they think that Shepard must abandon idea about destroying the Reapers to be indoctrinated. Which, is, funnily, not corresponding to any other instances of indoctrination in games. Even those who undergon slow indoctrination (say, Benezia) never experienced visions, Where was voices telling them to obey, though.

Destroy the reapers and stop the reapers, what is the difference ?

No solution proposed by Starchild is good, his logic is wrong.

Control the reapers ? That means that you agree with the solution from Starchild, the reapers are useful to have the galaxy in peace. So the genocide of organics was also useful. No way.

Synthesis ? That means that peace between organics and synthetics is not possible in state. Wrong, Geths and Quarians are now in peace and are fighting together against reapers, each of them keeping their own identity. StarChild is wrong. No way.

Destruction ? That also means the genocide of the synthetics. No way.

But no choice. All Shepard has accomplished in 3 games is ruined. Impossible to challenge Starchild's point of view. Sad.

Stopping the Reapers permanently and guaranteeing they can't return requires destroying them.

How does Control mean you agree with the Catalyst's solution? Your Shepard gets to use the Reapers however he/she feels is best. The Reapers, used right, could be enormously helpful to the galaxy.

Or controlling them, repairing everything that was destroyed, sharing their technology with us, and then sending them away or into a star or something.

This is why he managed to obtain such an enourmous amount of fanatical troopers in such a short window of time.

He eventually probably planned to use the crucible as an amplificator to "indoctrinate" the reapers too, of course, in the end it was him that got indoctrinated through his implants, rather than him using them to indoctrinate others, which ended up making the whole point  of indoctrinating his troops to Cerberus' will moot, but this proves indoctrination can exist apart from the reapers and their will.

And there is no proof of other reapers interfering with the derelict one.
Besides, others may take control of indoctrinated agents/husks, but the fact the derelict reaper was capable of indoctrinating them in the first place demonstrates they don't need to be operational to indoctrinate...


That still means someone to control it has to be there...Which is my point...All the reapers are dead, there would be no one to take control.

Maybe, but they didn't stop being indoctrinated just because they started being controlled by someone else, and it proves, like I said, that indoctrination doesn't need a reaper sustaining it to work.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's a reflex of some sort, regardless of whether a reaper works or not it will indoctrinate those surrounding it, when it comes to direction of the slaves, maybe someone is needed to coordinate them, but I doubt someone is needed to actually commit the indoctrination...

Using the reaper isn any way men you agree with the cataylist. The cataylist is all about controling the galexy...That's what your doing if you control the reapers.

Destroy always struck me as admitting he's right and that synthetics and organics must fight, since you do wipe out the synthetics.

It is, but what use is it if know one can use it.

No, it really doesn't. I'm sorry you can't see that. You only agree with the Catalyst if your perpetuate the cycle. Using them for anything else is a rejection of the Catalyst.

Indoctrinated would still turn into a husks eventually.

Though, I think that all endings are supposed to be "good" (in a sense, what no apocalypse would follow), so probably they dropped dead for real.

It doesn't.
Basically, Control means, that Reapers would obey Shepard. It doesn't mean, that Shepard would be playing god with his or her new powers.

Yes it does. The point of the reapers was to control and impose. The point was to stop chaos. You being in control gives that job to you. The star child is basicly say order need to be inposed. You using the reaper means your doing so as well.

The issue is not whether the Catalyst is telling the truth, but rather trusting in it's judgement about it's proposed "solutions".

If you believe that the Catalyst is correct in it's assumption of the Singularity, the only option that feels correct is the Synthesis option.

If you reject the idea of inherent synthetic/organic conflict, then destroy is the option for you.

And if you are not quite sure, you control the Reapers, giving the galaxy a chance to prove itself, but safe guarding the reapers should the need arise to use them again.

Anything else is interpretation, which the ending really, really encourages, but it's hard to say anything concrete about. Maybe YOUR Control Shepard has Reapers hovering all over, offering advice constantly like an aged aunt who thinks you'd do a little better if you just added more flour, dear, and stir, really stir. And maybe mine has them dormant in dark space... forever.:happy:

Putting any for of balance would be playing god. Fixing everything withthe reaper would be playing god. The us of the reaper in any way would be playing god. Understand.
We also have no guarentee Shepard would even think the same after getting control of the reapers.
What does"You will die, You can control us but lose everything you have.." MEAN?

^ No evidence they won't turn around and kill us anyway in synthesis.

Also the fact that they are responsible for the deaths of quadrillions of organics - I think as a race of sentient beings they can be held accountable for their actions and killed.

You regect the idea of inherent synthetic/organic conflict... By killing all the synthetics, including your allies, the only sapient synthetic species created this cycle and newly given full self-awareness?

Good going, Shepard.

I'm not saying destroy is bad... But it does a pretty mediocre job of rejecting that conflict, because it promptly enacts it.

Commander Shepard: If we destroy them, this ends today. But if you can't control them.

Admiral Hackett: He's wrong. Dead Reapers are how we win this thing.

Admiral Anderson: Bull****. We Destroy them or they Destroy us.

The Catalyst: What you came here to do.

To get a bit meta, we do have a guarantee it will work in all 3 endings beyond the Catalyst. The end of the game comes out and tells you it did. "Became a legend by ending the threat of the reapers."

Your not understanding how it works. It happen on it own, but it only changes thing based on the will of the controler. You only become a drooling maniac if the controler wills it and appies it. What I'm saying is the feild will go one but it will not have any effect at all. It only imposes a state if a direction is given. It will do nothing with out direction.

I totally read that as hoovering, which was promptly followed by a mental image of Harbinger in a maids outfit doing the shake n vac dance. :D


Although my Control totally has the reapers forming a glee club and trying their hardest to make it to nationals... With often humerous results.
