The Reapers are too dangerous to be allowed to exist or allowed to come under anyone's control. Destroy is the only option for me. Anderson would be proud!

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".

Except with a high enough EMS (however that makes sense), Shepard does survive, despite Starkid's claim that he will die.  Makes me wonder what else he was lying about.  Maybe we'll find out when Leviathan comes out

my only hesitation about choosing this ending is that it destroys the geth and it destroys EDI. But beating the game again earlier today i relized that if shepard could be rebuilt perfectly while being an organic being they could rebuild the geth and EDI perfectly with much more ease, making it the perfect ending in my opinion because we dont have to listen to a very evil sounding reaper shep or seeing every character you have grown to love appear look like robotic zombies, i understand why the other two are good but i like this one far more

It's been my goal to destroy the Reapers since I first saw them on Eden Prime. No Casper the Space Ghost was going to change that in the last 10 minutes.

I hate it when people ask us destroy supporter on how we could just let EDI and the Geth die. My answer is that they would of willingly given up and sacrificed themselves to kill the Reapers and let organics live. They even go ahead to say they would sacrifice themselves. So I have a clear mind about my choice.

Shep: "I think you found a little humanity EDI, is it worth fighting for?"
EDI: "To the Death"

[Timusafa]

Another +1 here.

My take:
Synthesis- we are fighting to preserve humanity (and many of those other races too), so why would we give up that fight? What makes me human is the individuality and the personality that comes from a completely independent-thinking being. Included in that are the flaws that humans are born with. We grow stronger by learning from those confrontations, and that is what allowed us to become major players in the galactic scale in such a short period of time. I'd rather die then synthesize, and retain my humanity.

Control - as was already stated, the reapers are too power to be left functioning, or alive I guess. If TIM was able to work on some ways to control the reapers (depending on the ending, IT, etc), then how long will it take before someone can control a reaper on a minor scale? What if someone builds another crucible and faces Shepard as he/she faced that darn brat?

Destroy - yes, so EDI and the Geth get the boot. Rebuild them, their sacrifice was necessary for the rest of the galaxy to survive and retain it's identity and future security.

Destroy FTW.

I'm still not entirely sure why the Reapers are considered dangerous enough that getting rid of them at once is worth the deaths of EDI and the geth even though other options to subdue them exist.

They told me that the rachni were too dangerous to release into the wild, and I did it. They told me that the krogan were too dangerous to restore to their full fertility, but I did that too. In each case I judged the welfare of a single species to be more important than the risk posed to the galaxy. Why is the risk posed by the Reapers considered great enough to sacrifice the geth for?

I'm not complaining, I would just like to understand. I usually hear they're too dangerous but it's never elaborated on.

[JG The Gamer]

 My galaxy is Reaper-free. The countless number of people who lost their lives at the hands of the Reapers over the last millions and millions of years can finally rest in peace.
It came at a terrible cost. I sacrificed a friend and teammate in EDI. I sacrificed the geth. My honour did not survive this war intact. It wasn't meant to. As a Spectre, I have leeway by the will of the Citadel Council to do what I need to do to protect and defend the galaxy. Sometimes that involves making the hard choices, making sacrifices for the greater good.

Because EDI and the geth were deleted/lost their lives, the galaxy can and will live on. Their sacrifice will indeed be honoured.

Because I chose to destroy the Reapers, I have eliminated any chance of them returning and terrorizing the galaxy once again.

And I would do it again if I had a chance to do it over.

In the words of Hackett: "He's wrong. Dead reapers are how we win this."

[Captain McBuck]

See the main problem I had with Synthisis is I kept going back to thinking 'bout Mordin; and ME2 with the Collectors. : -

Mordin: "Early stages simular to indoctrination, captured Protheons lost intelegence over several cloned generations, Cybernetic augmentation wide spread, as Protheons failed, Reaper implants added tech to compensate. Mental capacity almost gone, Replaced by overworked sensor imput nodes transfering data to masters"

Shep: "Is there anything we can do to help them?"

Mordin "No!, No glands replaced by Tech!. No Digestive system replaced by tech!. No...soul, replaced by tech. whatever they were gone, forever, understand now? No art no cultre, closer to husks than slaves. Tools for reapers. Protheons dead... Collectors final insult. Must be destroyed"

Shep: "What is it about the collectors modifactions which bothers you so much Mordin?"

Mordin: "Disrupts Socio-Technological balance, All scientific advancement due to intelegence overcoming - compensating for limitations. can't carry a load so invent a wheel, can't catch food, so invent spear.limitations.  no limitations no advancement! no Advancement culture stagnates. works in reverse too. advancment before culture is ready, disasterous. like giving nuclear weapons to cave men"

Mordin "Our Fault. Saw it with Krogan, Our fault.Krogan could have evolved alone, learnt to use new tech, been responsable. instead Salarians came. used Krogan as blunt instrument.Short sighted. Foolish. Disasterous"

sure sounds like synthisis dosn't it? and of course there is Operation Overlord and David Archer which almost unleashed a AI/Human Hybrid, again, an anologue to Synthisis.

I choose destroy since I think organics should be free to live their own lives as they want. Like Shep says, if there's no hope, what's the point of living? Also, if people can fix the Normandy and the Mass Relays, they could fix the Geth and EDI. For the future, may organics and newer synthetics decide if they're gonna fight in a war or live peacefully, that's not for a starkid to decide.

My take on it:
1. Destroyers are the largest portion of the fanbase, so they don't feel as compelled to band together.
2. A great number of destroyers (in my experience) can express their reasoning for choosing the ending in one sentence and don't feel the need to discuss it further.
3. A fair number of destroyers are ITers or support the idea of IT and thus either keep their mouth shut to avoid getting trolled or hang out in the main IT thread.

Maybe because most destroyers don't feel the need to make lolhuge posts to justify turning there Shepard into Shreaper, or making everyone into  the mean greanie? :

I will always pick destroy. is it the only logical choice, the goal set before Shepard since the very begining, and the only way to ensure the Reapers are never a thread. But more importantly, Tali asked for Shepard to come back to her.... I have to make sure that Shepard does survive.

[D24O]

In destroy to can have reaper sushi, so that's pretty cool.

This so much.

My Shepard told Liara that she would always come back....

I don't support any of the 3 endings. Destroy is "my" ending but I can't accept the fact that it involves Shepard stabbing his/her synthetics friends in the back, especially when those helped him realize the Catalyst's reasoning is wrong in the first place. Have EDI and the geth survive (without their Reaper upgrades) and then I'll certainly pick Destroy. Control and Synthesis might as well not even exist for me. I'll never accept my Shepard acting like a complete hypocrite by becoming the Reaper overmind, not will I accept Shepard changing all organic life in the galaxy into an new articifially created, and therefore ironically synthetic, lifefom. I'd rather not choose anything and try to forget this franchise ever existed rather than having to choose between 3 endings that "corrupt" my Shepard's character.
