Ofcourse, but Controlling the Reapers is practical if it means that you can:


3) Keep the Citadel intact




Funny you should mention that.  Remember how in Control the Citadel leaves with the Reapers, presumably for dark space (Or somewhere else far away.)?  Well, think about this for a sec: what going to happen to all the people on the Citadel?  It seems doubtful that the Citadel could be completely self-sufficient, considering that the war had already strained supplies.  If the Reapers and the Citadel are gone for good, then Shepard doomed all those people to a slow and painful death.


What? The Citadel does not leave with the Reapers. The only thing it does after the Control ending is close back up.

Adding on to my last post:

Controlling the Reapers is an unethical means to win the war. But the series is plagued with examples of how this is not necessarily a bad thing. A big one is how Mordin used Maelon's data to extract a cure to the genophage, despite the fact that the cure had unethical means.

After playing through Horizon, the idea of control being a viable option became clear. There are so many parallels between Horizon and Maelon's data that it's crazy.


Soooo.... then control is actually Renagade.


Could be viewed that way. It's the practical/unethical approach. Kind of like keeping the Collector base.


unethical isn't necessarily practical.


Ofcourse, but Controlling the Reapers is practical if it means that you can:

1) End the War

2) Keep your synthetic allies alive

3) Keep the Citadel intact


You really do sound like TIM. Just as Ieldra sounds like Saren.



TIM doesn't give a **** about saving anything that isn't human. If he took control he'd use them to secure human dominance.


I hope that comment was a joke.


It was... I forgot the smilie. ^_^ You're friendly, we just disagree.

The difference is that in deus ex trashumanism enhances diversity and growth

And synthesis opposes both.


Although i chose the left corridor in deus..

You're right, you don't actually SEE it leave.  However, when I thought about it after seeing it, it kind of looked, to me anyway, like it was going to leave with the Reapers.

The subtitles is trolling us.

It was like that with the Geth VI replacement of Legion.

"Legion: We are not Legion."

I chose all three. Ironically, my first choice was Synthesis, but that was because I couldn't find that ending on YouTube and I wanted to see if there was any difference between it and the other two. Imagine my surprise.<_<

So we think we can control them but remember each Reaper is independent and they beleive that their was are right no matter who you are, and the Starbrat smiles when you pick Control.

Where does it state that the Catalyst created himself or the cycle? <---Entirely non-rhetorical. If someone created him, then yes, he would be like a reaper. But that would mean that there was someone (or even a group of beings), at some point, that created the Catalyst and the reapers to fulfill a role that became obsolete once the cycle was over.


I've got a question for YOU. Or maybe questions... (Not anyone else, just thisisme8) Do you believe the star child as real? And if you do, can you explain to me on the fact that if the Citadel is his home, why did Sovereign need to access the Citadel to open the relay? The only reason the relay wouldn't activate was because the Protheans disabled the device that signals from outside to the keepers for them to activate it. If the star child was always there, why can't he do it himself? It makes me wonder what his real purpose is there for if he can't do anything...

The answer to your question is in your question : the Protheans disabled the signaling capability of the "device". If Starkid had the capacity to "enable" this device back, he could have done so. Seems like he couldn"t, hinting to the possibility that the Protheans did more than just a "software" modification.

the star child flat out states

"we created the cycle so that never happens"
