Oh no. Just had a brainwave.
Synthesis = the fusion of organic and synthetic life.
Synthesis = the fusion of biological life with hardware/software.
Synthesis = BIO-WARE.

....... And we made it to two-hundred!!

[Taboo]

What a momentous occasion.

It wouldn't be the same if I wasn't here giving Ieldra a hard time.

[His Name was HYR!!]

 We wouldn't have gotten here with lots of spirited discussion you gave us, Tabs.

[Ieldra]

You aren't doing that any more, Taboo. Not here, anyway.

I just read that post on the previous page about the possibility that Synthesis doesn't affect everything in the galaxy. From the ending video, I think it's meant to affect everything, just as the other effects affect all Reapers regardless of whether they're near a relay or not. If it was restricted to space near the relays, most of the galaxy would remain unaffected.

Don't ask me how the Synthesis effect reaches the more remote places (Mac Walters: "You're not supposed to think too much about it")....

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

There's no excuse with the release of the EC. Everything is...pretty clear.

But not the Vitalism. That will haunt Synthesis for the rest of it's days.

Well we'll have to agree to disagree...... I don't agree with that.

Flatter yourself much? Tab 

Miss Miranda is keeping the peace here

[Taboo]

WHY DO YOU PURSUE ME?

Ieldra can't escape. I'm either ragging him about aesthetics in this thread or in the Miranda thread.

But he owes me big time for getting rid of a troll. BIG TIME. I'll pull his ass out of the fire if need be.

But would he do the same for me?

[Vigilant111]

 No he wouldn't, he chose synthesis and beamed 

[Taboo]

I think any combination of Ieldra and myself would be pretty terrifying.

[DirtyPhoenix]

Yay 200. We finally got there!

[DirtyPhoenix]

Which troll would that be Taboo, let me guess.. does his/her name start with "The" ?

[Taboo]

Ieldra knows who I'm talking about. Said troll was not in this thread.

He owes me BIG time.

Maybe... some relays were left inactive so the effects of RGB explosions couldn't reach those systems?

About the Reapers, I assume they use the Relays to travel long distances like everyone else, so chances are they would have been fried / synthesised / etc.

Although as they (presumably?) built the relays in the first place, maybe some of them travelled to previously unchartered places to build new relays or scout for new life?  If so, some could have dodged it... could be food for thought for a sequel...

Thankyou that's what I was trying to say. That maybe there are untouched regions in the galaxy that may contain as yet undamaged races yet to develop and maybe some reapers that escaped the energy wave. Imagine the fun if they show up in the various scenarios depending on what you chose....

There's potential there.  The only problem is... how do they squeeze humans into this idea?  Cos they're unlikely to make ME games without any humans.  They also have to design a whole bunch of different races.  In fact they'd have to design a whole new fictional universe, with the escaped Reapers being the only tie to the original ME games.  Seems more likely they'd just come up with a new IP.  (Though they could link it to the ME universe in this way)

Another possibility.  Could preserve a few human explorer colonies of old this way...

About the paragon/renegade divide, from my time on BSN, many people seem to think it as the good/evil distinction. I don't think so. I think it's closer to the lawful/chaotic distinction; different ways to achieve the same goal. Do you achieve it without harming anyone or do you do it by killing a bunch on people?

[Taboo]

Renegade isn't evil. That's a load of bollocks.

I try to find balance with my Shepard. Too much of one thing leads to...absolutes. And only the Sith deal in absolutes.

Ieldra is much the same way. At least that's the indication I got.

But my Shepard values freedom very much, which is why he chooses Destroy.

"You represent chaos, we represent order"

Sometimes being a paragon can potentially be a dangerous thing

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Of the traits my Shepard shares with Miranda advancement is one of them. However he also believes people should have the choice. If they don't want to advance they may certainly choose not to.

That's one of the reasons he can't choose Synthesis. Boon or not he can't make the choice for everyone.

You can bet he'll be studying those dead Reapers after the end of the way though. Time will show us the way.

Miranda can keep him in check too.

Agreed. Which is why I mostly go with a combination of both. I found the paragade playthroughs the most fun and resembling me the human. And if you are indicating that way, i don't consider synthesis to be paragon. :|

[Vigilant111]

Miranda would not be pleased if Shepard chooses synthesis, she loathes the idea of being manipulated, which is kinda ironic because she heads the Lazarus Project

[Taboo]

None of the choices are truly Paragon or Renegade. You can make the argument either way. I mean every but Shepard lives in Synthesis but you force a change so drastic it literally changes the way things work. Not my idea of a Paragon move.

Depending on who you talk to the strength or weakness of the endings is that they ask you to rely on logic, not emotion.

As I've stated before I think choosing Destroy for the LI or vengeance is rather petty. You should be doing it for the freedom (FREEDOM!) it represents.

I don't think humans would be preserved the old way.. this way because if the relays were inactive how did the humans get there? Though indegenious species can certainly be preserved this way.

[ElSuperGecko]

Out of interest, what do you think would happen if the Synthesis ending occurred but there were still "pure" organics left in the galaxy? Either beyond inactive Relays or elsewhere?

What would happen when they met?
