So do you get the Renegade version of Control based on your reputation? Or is it based on previous choices?


Well, your reputation is based on previous choices actually :)

...I think that you have to have 100% of renegade-progress-bar to be filled in order to get the Renegade version of Control. Can't say for sure. Tried to play Renegade several times, but stopped each time. This is just not my way... Even in game.

I'm assuming that if you were a paragade or renegon it would go with the side that has the higher %. This is the only flaw in Control's ending, for those who played like that. However it's probably just "Pick the highest %" one I'm assuming.

You can get different versions of the speech, depending on what you did with the genophage cure and your reputation. But I think being renegade and curing the genophage gets you the same speech as paragon and cure sabotaged.

I have heard  reports of a Paragade verison where Shepard says. "The one who gave up his/her life to become the that could protect the many"

So if my Shepard has a mixture of paragon/renegade decisions, but has a mostly paragon reputation do i still get the paragon version?

I don't know if you'll still check this thread, but as that sounds like the format of my Control Shepard: I say yes.

It's impossible to be 100% Renegade nor Paragon.

I think the only the major choices (genophage, quarion/geth) will impact the final speech you can get regardless of your overall reputation.

Not 100% sure but I think so, there are parts of the speech that changes solely on reputation. So far those are (as far as I am aware).

P:
And only now do I understand the full extent of his sacrifice.
I will rebuild what the many have lost.
I will create a future with limitless possibilities.
I will protect and sustain. I will act as guardian for the many.
I will remember the ones who sacrificed themselves so that the many could survive.
And I will watch over the ones who live one.
The man who gave up his life to become the one who could save the many.

R:
And only now do I comprehend the full potential of his decision.
I will restore what the many have fought for.
I will lead an army that no one will dare oppose.
I will protect, defend. I will destroy those who threaten the future of the many.
I will remember the ones who fought so that the many could survive.
And I will keep a watchful eye over the ones who live on.
The man who fought to become the one who could lead the many.

And there is the part where it shows the fate of the Krogans. This part depends on both your choice and your P/R status.

P + genophage cured:
To give the many hope for a future.
To ensure that all have a voice in their future.

R + genophage cured:
To right the wrongs of the past.
To provide a voice for those too weak to speak for themselves.

R + cure sabotaged:
To provide the many with a powerful leader.
To put an end to the bickering of the many.
To ensure the strongest are not feared or reviled for their strength.

P + cure sabotaged:
To right the wrongs of the past.
To provide a voice for those too weak to speak for themselves.
THIS ONE IS UNCONFIRMED; MY ONLY SOURCE IS A POST ON THE BSN FOR THIS.

Hope this helps. If there is anything wrong, please let me know.

I agree, and I find the whole "TIM = Control, therefore Control = evil" argument to be quite silly.

If Hitler liked toast, does that mean toast is evil? No.

It's not Control that's corrupt, but TIM, his intentions, and his methods of attaining it. They're all entirely separate to Control itself, which is not inherently bad or good. It's not Control, it's the one doing the controlling.

Op you are really a hopeful person and I am glad you have a cheery outcom for control but for me it is creepy
whats to stop the Shepard AI to come to the same conclusion as the starbrat?
Power currupts no matter how good you are after a million years or so Shepard AI could change for the worst
I don't know why they made this a paragon ending, I see nothing good about it Shepard dies and becomes an abomination her soul perpous through out the Me games was to destroy the Reapers not become one

By becoming a reaper all that shepard was fighting for was dissmissed

Exactly but everyone  so hard up on hating TIM that is a complete  knee jerk response. Then you have the "power corrupts" crowd  which misuse the quote all the time.

Power doesn't corrupt, it's individuals who are corruptible get corrupted.

Because Shepard will keep the ideals and priorities from his/her past life. Therefore, Shepard won't reach to the same conclusion. 

 
Power currupts no matter how good you are after a million years or so Shepard AI could change for the worst 

 

Shepard won't have emotions. Can synthetics be corrupted by power?

  
I don't know why they made this a paragon ending, 


Control not more of a paragon choice than destroy, synthesis, or reject. Just because your Shepard is paragon doesn't mean control is right for him/her. There is no moral choice.

   
I see nothing good about it Shepard dies and becomes an abomination her soul perpous through out the Me games was to destroy the Reapers not become one

Shepard had many purposes. One of them is to save lives. Control does just that. And Shepard's main purpose was not to destroy the reapers, but to stop them. If you want to look at it as Shepard wanting to destroy, that's fine. I just see it as the only option at the time.

So I don't really see a reason to invalid control.

Power may corrupt a human, but not an AI with unlimited processing power and Shepard's way of thinking.

Synthetic feelings and emotions work differently than organic. Synthetic can't be corrupted, it could only be hacked, if its defensive mechanisms are too weak... And it's impossible to hack the Catalist, because it's too advanced and has no input mechanisms obviously. Even the original Catalist helped Shepard willingly. Crucible just gave the original Catalist a possibility to help Shepard in three different ways, and Shepard managed to prove that she deserves that help.

...So, if it was your only concern about the Control, then you may choose it without any fear or regret.

Also, the catalyst's only goal was to ensure the continued existence of organic life in general. From what she says, Shepard as the catalyst can see the big picture but also cares for each individual life. That's a big difference. She has the balanced thinking that the catalyst didn't. She knows that each and every life has intrinsic value all its own while also understanding life as a whole is beautiful and miraculous and worthy of protecting.

Hmm, this is another thing that's starting to bug me. Why do people feel compelled to lump the ending choices into paragon/renegade? One thing I always liked about the core ending paths is that they seemed to do away with that false dichotomy. ME in general was supposed to have a morality system that went beyond "saint and d!ckhead points". But no, we're arguing light and dark as usual...

It makes sense to have variantions in the ending based on paragon/renegade since that is meant to denote a general "leaning" in Shepard's personality (and obviously Control needs this the most) but arguing over which choice is which? That's just weird.

Anyway to respond to this quote in particular, I sense much bias in you Tali (specifically for the underlined). People have already given you some pretty good responses about why Shepard isn't the holokid 2.0 or why "corrupted Shepard" is silly.  Check the "control explained" link in my sig for further elaboration on why these concepts are do not apply to Control.

Control "Default canon"?

No, that would be synthesis, given Bioware's major boner for the green ending.
