As I said, if my Shepard was a full-blown Renegade, he would have choosen Destroy, regardless of geth and EDI, just to survive. Picking Destroy doesn't involves believing in IT.
That makes no sense. How would Shepard know s/he will survive in destroy? It was pretty heavily implied by the catalyst that s/he would die.
Also, controlling the reapers is renegade, regardless of the IT. Destroying them is paragon.
I disagree. Even with the worst ems, control kills no one while still ending the reaper threat. It also doesn't destroy the relays completely and the Citadel is spared. Edi Lives and the geth, if you spared them, can continue to help the quarians.
Destroy with worst EMS kille everyone on earth, too bad for the human race surviving at the end of the game. It also kills EDI, the Geth and Shepard unless EMS is high. That seems renegade to me.
This isn't about people dying, all right? This is about what paragon/renegade actually is.
Paragon has always been about the end not justifying the means. You destroyed the collector base, you saved the council, you saved te Rachni. Choosing destroy would be the end not justifying the means in any way whatsoever. You don't use reaper tech to end the war. You don't force a gross rewriting of DNA on everyone. You reject their and TIM's philosophy.
Renegade has always been about the end justifying the means. Control embodies that. So does preserving the collector base. By choosing control, you embrace the philosophy of one of the main antagonists in the game, so do you in synthesis.
Again, renegade does not mean that less people are saved, it is a choice of morality.
