Er, but Destroy is the most popular.

Indeed. The least popular is Synthesis, I think. Or maybe Control.

You won't see the faces or hear the voices of the people you kill, but you know what you've done.

That's what separates the other endings from Destroy.

But I do know what EDI's face looks like.

That doesn't make it right.

I always pick destroy. Really, destroying the Reapers is the only option in my eyes. Control has the possibility of Shepard becoming as flawed as the previous catalyst, and synthesis...well that just came out of nowhere so I refuse to even acknowledge it even exists. But that's just what I think.

If I had to choose a different ending though, I would pick refuse.

Nobody said that destroying the synthetics was an easy or victimless choice. The game tells us again and again that "You can't save everyone" and that we will have to sacrifice people to win. EDI and the geth joined the war of their own will, just like every other soldier. The men and women of the Hammer strike force are wiped out, and countless more die in Sword and Shield. Command knew thousands--if not millions--would die, yet the cost had to be paid. These soldiers fought to destroy the Reapers, not replace their AI or become half-synthetic. Perhaps if the Catalyst let Shepard relay the choice to his/her allies they would decide otherwise, but Starbrat won't. Destroying the Reapers honors the last wish of those that died to get Shepard to the Citadel at a heavy price of life, but those that pay it have offered those lives of their own will.

Destroy is the only correct option from my view point. All other endings are the AI trying to manipulate Shepard in throwing in the towel. This cycle stands on the doorstep of total victory and breaking the backs of reapers once and for all, now out of nowhere suddenly the AI who is in control of the reapers wants to talk to Shepard about "OPTIONS". Well lets explore those options.



Synthesis- Is this not what we are fighting against, I have another word for this option assimilation. Giving up ones self to become something different without the option of freewill to choose if you want this or not is assimilation. If I would have chosen this I might as well have not even bothered to start fighting the reapers in the first place, it is a perversion of everything every species was fighting for

Control- This is laughable, why would I believe that I would be given total unwavering control of the reapers, by the AI own admission the cycle was to destroy advanced cultures to stop chaos. Why would anyone who is still in their right mind believe the Reaper control AI, who has waged his version of a holy war of 10000s of years, suddenly give up control to a human who will not carry this on.


The choices where only presented to Shepard by the AI as a means to manipulate her into not pulling the trigger. In telling you that by destroying you will be destroying all technology including yourself cause of your implants and dooming the Geth to death is nothing of brilliant. The AI is playing her game now, playing off sympathy for the Geth and their new found "life".

As an IT'er, I can accept only the Destroy ending as good.

I love the destroy ending (Lance Henriksen is awesome) but if I wish that instead of the scene with the two soldiers fighting and having the wave hit the husks, it was a scene with the geth fighting and being deactivated after the wave hits them.

[Mordak55]

I have to pick Destroy, then Refuse, then turn the 360 off after Anderson Dies, in order of preference . Can't pick Control or Synthesis. (although I do like the FemShep voice over and music in Control).

It would have been sad, but that's the mood of the ending, and the geth really get the shaft in the final battle if you managed to secure peace with them and the quarians. Also, the Catalyst tells you that all synthetic life will be destroyed, but they never show it, all you get is a flash of EDI when choosing destroy.

I'm torn between high ems destroy and paragon control. I liked destroy a lot at first because it was the most straight-forward of the endings and gave the galaxy the right to self-determination. However, if I were to go meta, I would probably pick Control as both organics and synthetics remain without having their DNA changed from synthesis. After using the Reapers to rebuild, my Shepard would simply have the Reapers retreat to uninhabited areas of the galaxy and only return them if a significant threat to galactic stability emerged.

Destroy was the choice I made during my first playthrough of Mass Effect 3. It accomplishes what I believe Shepard set out to do from the very beginning: Destroy the Reapers. I hadn't come across any spoilers other than "the ending is bad" so I had no idea what to expect; for a moment I'd even thought that the Mission Failed screen was the "bad ending" as I couldn't seem to get past Marader Shields. I was mostly Renegade through my entire playthrough of the ME series but I didn't pick Destroy just because it was Renegade. I occasionally made significant Paragon decisions (cured Genophage, saved Council, destroyed Reaper base), had moderate EMS, no breath scene, and Earth survived. I've since played through Mass Effect a couple more times, and Destroy is still the only correct choice for me.

I share this point of view but I would like to have confirmation of this feeling.

3 reasons:
- we kill the reapers
- shepard lives at the end, he/she deserves it, and I play video game to have success at the end
- doing it, we show our faith in the future to the starchild. After all, we stop the war between quarians and geths. This must matter at the end.
Honestly, I cannot choose another one

[Lionheart316]

I don't really get the point of refusal. The whole point was to DESTROY the Reapers and that was whole point of the journey. I'm not going to be buddy with the Reapers, I'm going to destroy because that Shepard and co. set themselves to do.

Control smacks on TIM influences and Synthesis smacks of Saren influences. Only Destroy is the true answer. Tomorrow's allies maybe tomorrow's enemies.
