It's not really a case of Destroy being my favourite, it's more that Destroy is the least ridiculous ending. I will never choose anything other than Destroy because Control and Synthesis are truly laughable.

i totally agree. Although i will say that i would also choose refuse before i ever choose control or synthesis.

I too would choose refuse before the other two.

The EC made Destroy a nice ending to me even though the geth died.

[KyreneZA]

I support dead Reapers everywhere. The rest is just collateral damage if Reaperbrat was truthful.

Not only the geth but whoever may be under the reapers when they fell 

[Phoenix_Fyre]

I support this. I get what I want from the EC.

*Reapers blown up for good
* Shep LIVES
* Normandy/Relays not doomed
* Hackett says everything destroyed can be rebuilt

I may not be able to bring back the geth, but I have hope for EDI

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

Never thought of that...

Agreed.
I am all for Destruction, EDI can be re-constructed, and the Geth have been a pain in my ass since the first day I played Mass Effect, I'm not all that sad about them "dying".

[Atucker_a32]

The ways rationalized my decision to friends and made my peace with destroy were:
1. Even in the future they HAVE to have hard copies on how to recreate the synthetics destroyed in the process, and due to being synthetics they would probably be far more understanding(which has always been my only drawback)

2. The reapers had to have found out about the crucible and/or the citadels potential to be weaponized against them so why wouldn't they put a failsafe in, and why wouldn't this failsafe be that little kid who is there to deter you from destroying the reapers to either be harvested(control) or to simply kill yourself by diving into the citadels power source(synthesis).

3. The series has been preparing you to destroy the reapers since the beginning.

4. Because synthesis is a flawed ending as far as the future goes and destroy leaves the galaxy better off for a longer time because expansion would be far less of an issue eventually and organics would keep one of the defining aspects of organics, death(after all in synthesis edi does say that they will one day transcend mortality).

5. The leviathans created the original mass relays and with the reapers no longer hunting them it would only be right for them to at least share how to build them.

6. BECAUSE ANDERSON SAID SO!!!!

Oh, good. That sushi place on the strip needs some fresh stock.

It's about time this Thread woke up!

[Argolas]

Just wanted to add something to this thread.

[CaptainCommander]

In Destroy we end indoctrination, don't create God-Shepard and don't DNA r@pe the galaxy leaving it in stagnation. We can reverse engineer the Reapers(ME1&2) proved this and this time without indoctrination! Plus its the thing we have been trying to do from the first game always renegade and paragon!!

Well, we know how to build AIs now.

So theoretcally, we could give that AI all the Normandy's sensor logs (EDI's "memories"), and crew accounts of personal interactions.

It wouldn't exactly be EDI, but it could get pretty close.

just pop in a floppy and back her ass up


and to be honest. it isn't like that is the first crew member you would have to sacrifice to stop the reapers. love how ppl talk about treating synthetics equally but actually treat organics worse. so if you treat them equally why would you care?

Have you ever seen Star Trek: Nemesis? It's sort of like that. Data sacrificed himself, yet you "prototype" brother, named B4, stayed on the Enterprise. By the end of the movie, he started gaining Data's Memories.


All in All, we CAN rebuild EDI AND The Geth. We're not idiots. We're not technologically impaired. And we can have peace and harmony between Organics and Machines WITHOUT Synthesis, AND WITHOUT the Reapers.

And I have no doubts that we can bring EDI back as she was before.

We can now use Reaper tech without Indoctrination.

By that same logic, we can 'Rebuild' all organics through typical good old sex and telling the kids stories.

Course, if you happen to be one of the 'rebuilt' organics, you might worry about that.

The equivalent would actually be a clone which is given the original person's memories.

Not exactly, giving an AI the sensor logs is much more than telling a story. That AI would experience those events exactly how they happened, and the timelog would make it remember when it happened. It would be indistinguishable from EDI's memory.

A better analogy would be Neo leaning martial arts by directly downloading it into his brain in the Matrix.

Only the AI couldn't experience those events exactly as they happened.  The AI you were 'duping' would neccessairly be involved in those events, and the new Quantam blue box can never be restored to the exact state as the old one as you cannot even know what state the old one was actually in.

This means the two can never be put into an initial sync, and thus the new AIs responses will neccessairly be different then the old ones.  The old AI will move just so, but the new one would've moved slightly different, and the illusion that it IS that AI breaks apart - near instantly at AI speeds.

At which point it's just watching a movie.  Maybe a fancy 3D movie, with touch and small and all that, but it's always clear that the agent in the records is not the AI you've reproduced.

Functionally, it's higher definition then telling them stories, but it's the same thing - a record of something that happened to someone who they aren't.

I agree, because the galaxy is better off without them. Organic and synthetic life need to have the opportunity to shape their own future, without the Reapers intervening and directing them to how that should develop, and who gets harvested and why.

For many, many eons, under the request of the Leviathans, the star brat, and by extension, the Reapers, have harvested and subdued the evolution of organic life in pursuit of a solution (that shouldn't be hard to find) over a conflict that might happen with synthetics. They need to be destroyed so that the current cycle and the next cycles won't have their dreams and futures taken away by an AI and an army of machines looking for a solution for an arrogant and aloof race of giant cuttlefishes.

That way we can kill those abominations off and then rebuild them to be proper slaves of the organics
