I'm conflicted

The Destroy Ending allows a possible reunion for Shepard and Ashley, but I have to destroy an entire race

The Synthesis Ending allows for everyone to live peaceful together, but Shepard dies and it appears to be a complete throw up on the lore and themes of the universe.

Good recap.

I love refusal, mostly for the entertainment value and the fact that someone used it as a way to take a massive shot back at fans for the last three months. It's not even about the game at all, which makes it even better.

wait. can you go to more details? how is it a response to fans? how is it not about the game?

I thought people just wanted a Reaper victory ending as in the original game there was no such thing and they said the Reapers could win.

Well, I wanted the Reapers to win but I wanted to be part of them, I wanted to join them and destroy the galaxy and let the cycle continue, the ideal ending

Headcanon ending conquers all.

So true.  Second to headcanon, though, I liked the Destroy option even more with the extended scenes.

Destroy is still the only choice for me.

I am surprised people think so high of Destroy. No-one in here think that genocide is to high of a cost just to get back at the Reapers and getting to head-canon see your LI?

Hmm just beat it with synthesis and that looks good too. EDI was my favorite and seeing her emote was very rewarding for me.

Control is still my preferred ending because in theory I still could make synthesis happen.

[Smatticus]

1) Control - I always figured that anyone who took control of the Reapers with the best intentions could achieve the best results, and I was right. I know there are a lot of people annoyed that Shepard basically becomes a god, but I liked the idea of watching over my friends. Besides, Shepard was pretty much given a messianic image by the Mass Effect universe in life, so why shouldn't the same be true in death? Plus if the Geth helped the Quarians, then the Reapers helping the galaxy makes perfect sense (although the full effect of the successful resolution of the Quarian/Geth conflict can only be seen in the synthesis ending).

2) Synthesis - originally Destroy would have been my second favourite option, but synthesis shot up because of EDI's eulogy. Although I still don't buy the idea of all life suddenly having it's basic genetic code re-written by a beam of light in a series which takes its science relatively seriously, at least they do make some effort to explain it. And you get to see a Quarian's face (partially, see above).

3) Rejection - Everybody has said that "this is THE Mass Effect-esque choice". While there is some truth in this in that morally it feels right, and it is nice to see Liara's beacon being played (I really liked that cutscene in the game), it's still a shame that they didn't make more out of it.

4) Destroy - Originally my second favourite choice (in fact I was torn between this and control). While it should feel good to have killed the Reapers, the Geth are still dead, civilization has the longest road to recovery and the idea of Shepard being alive no longer makes sense. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the idea of him being alive in the rubble implied that the indoctrination theory was canon. Since it no longer is canon, and we have sufficient evidence of what actually happened with the DLC, surely Shepard is still dead? Made the least sense to me.

Genocide of what? We don't even know of it happening until it happens. Just because the Catalyst says it doesn't mean it's true. And after the Extended Cut, just because it happens doesn't mean we knew what would happen. Get my drift? Genocide is more or less intentional. Killing the geth isn't something wished upon, it's merely collateral damange in a stupid ****ing war.

[Shaleist]

Destroy before, now, forever. And as I say that I'll now go Youtube up the Space Magic and Control endings which I have not seen at all.

[d-boy15]

I didn't choose destroy to reunion with LI, why? last time I saw her, she dying in shepard arm.

I do it because I want to let galaxy choose their own future, not shepard choose for them. sure, geth and edi
are dead. it's genocide but this is a war. we can't expect to win it without loosing, that is naive.

and I didn't choose control because it's too heroic for my taste. (but gotta admit that the outcome from this
choice make it the best outcome ending.)

 I still prefer Destroy, though I do feel bad for killing the geth.

Thats not the only reason I will always choose Destroy. Simply put, the other two let the Reapers live. That, to me, is much to large of a risk. A paragon Shepard says it himself. What if you can't control them. We destroy them, this war ends today. Now.

What if he loses control? Destroy is extreme, but it is the only guaranty that the threat is gone.

Destroy > Refuse > Control > Green zombies.

Mike Gamble let it slip that Shepard's renegade status affects one of the endings. (You can probably guess which one, but I won't say it anyway.)

So there are five choices if you consider that you choose to play Shepard either as Paragon or Renegade.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it affects Control.  Whether Shepard will be benevolent or a despot.

I'm just guessing though, I haven't seen either ending speech yet.

Destroy.

Didn't Garrus say something about the ruthless calculus of war?
It may be genocide, but with the rest of organic life at stake, it's the only viable option for my Shepard.

[LordJeyl]

I chose neither. I'm just done.

[Bionic Weapon]

Destroy (it's what I and Shepard set out to do in the first place)
Reject ( I was very surprised how much I liked this one even if everyone dies)
Contol ( not a huge fan of Reaper-God AI Shepard but it works for what it is)

[Clone 071]

Destroy, just as I had done pre-EC.

As opposed to a complete rewrite of genetics that leaves no room for diversity? Refusal that leads to utter destruction of all sentient life? A galaxy where it's possible you might end up losing control of the Reapers? No, I want to ensure that they'll never cause harm to anyone again without screwing over diversity. Lack of diversity screwed the Protheans over.

I admit, the destruction of the Geth and EDI was saddening, but in war, there are sacrifices. That's a reality shared by all men and women serving. And like the mass relays, the Geth can be rebuilt.

[AtlasMickey]

 Same one I always did.

It couldn't have ended any other way.

Control is disgusting and dangerous, Synthesis destroys diversity (which it's the same as killing the soul of everything), Destroy destroys EDI and Geth which I think with a lot of luck they can be rebuilt and some day will regain consciousness. So yeah, Destroy.

I must be in the minority since I chose the synthesis option.

More or less this. I also can´t see how synthesis solves the singularity. If new AI are created they could rebel and destroy their creators. And the Reapers will be still around to go back to plan A. I think the writers really want to show this as the perfect everybody is happy ending, but I just can´t buy any of it. It´s ironic because I really loved Human Revolution Sarif´s ending, but pacifist Jensen sold it much better.

No.  Because with the knowledge at hand, I couldn't trust Shepard to control the Reapers for eternity and I'm still leery of the effects of synthesis even after watching the video. A little to Stepford Wives for me. 

[sunnydxmen]

Synthesis awesome ending the best one.
Control okay.
Destroy never like this one.
Reject you just give up pathetic.
