Technically if you choose destroy, and this going back to ME2, Legion tells you that the geth are building a collective mind , and basically it is all still DATA, the red beam destroys all synthethic life but i highly doubt it will destroy electronics? Otherwise how the ships will run, so with that logic it wouldnt destroy the memories/data stored on that place where all their data is collected. So you still got the get alive, as starchild also mentioned that shepard can die as well.

perhaps in future ME's or DLC's they may implement it a way of the races bringing the Geth Back to life? Since Starchild does say it will not stop the inevitable that is war and no peace if you choose destroy. And opening to another story.

So I still feel though that destroy is best option, but I would go for control but it does not seem right, as then there is no future for the franchise as where will they go from there? Shepard like big boss and power can stop any thing from happening,

So destroy it was as the machines is living but a machine can be brought back by putting the collective data or 'This One' anyways good job Bioware The refusal though basically that ends there with no real future to the franchise within the existing galaxy set in the Trilogy.

Also must look at the option that allows the game to flow into a continuity. Will be interesting though as the destroy scene seems like the people on Normandy think shepard is dead, but you realize his not so it opens a DLC there and couple others:D

Will be awesome! THANK YOU BW

And you believe someone whose idea of peace is genocide everyone? Reapers are like fire? <_

No, synthesis is the final evolution of all life, nothing, nobody will have the need to create AI since they are perfect and surpassed mortality

[Dark Penitant]

Synthesis is the creation of a master race.

Please tell me everyone knows what that entails?

In any event, though, either destroy or reject.

[WYLDMAXX]

Destroy. My Shepard gets the Girl and kills the Reapers.

I wish can choose to build a house out of a Reaper.

Control - NO. I am human and my mission was to destroy the reapers! Marriage is not an option! Would be like a jude being marriaged to auschwitz in an attempt to end WW2.

Synthesis - NO. I am human and my mission was to destroy the reapers not reward them with the gift of life!

No choice - NO. I am human and my mission was to destroy the reapers not to lay down my resolve and let machines determine the evolution of organics.

So I did what Joker said I would do - Kicked some reaper ass! Evolution is an ongoing process. Inventions are and will always be inventions in regards to machines not evolutions as it is for organics.

The after-credits sequence begs to differ.

A world without conflict can't exist. Even if the cycle was truly "ended", conflict would arise.

Destroy was the ending I picked. Pre-EC, I chose Synthesis...but this time it had an ominous collective consciousness feel to it.

Yeah, perpetual peace would be great... but do the ends justify the means?  In Synthesis it seems like you fundamentally alter everyone's brain chemistry or give them a space magic lobotomy.

I'm not sure if anyone has seen Demolition Man, but Synthesis always reminds me Simon Phoenix says: "You can't take away people's right to be ****s! That's who you remind me of... an evil Mr. Rogers."

That's basically what Shepard is in Synthesis, an evil Mr. Rogers who forces invasive, unconsented-to surgery on everyone in the galaxy for the purpose of achieving peace.  And lets be honest here, that brainwashed peace is only guaranteed until pure synthetics are once again created. 

Thanks but no thanks.

Oh and it still brings up the indoctrination theory I was a believer, but perhaps if you look at it still makes it plausible in the fact that he was trying to indoctrinate shepard but failed hence the dream sequences stopped and that is where it ends the indocrination, so he gave shepard options:) and close!

[Velocithon]

I want to like Destroy the best, but it just get's shat on IMO. Synthesis and Control are obviously better, but I feel they shouldn't be.

[Reorte]

Still Destroy. Given that any actual change to the endings was too much to hope for it's about as good as could be realistically expected.

Control now sounds even creepier (I previously thought it sounded the best but was too risky). Synthesis looks even more like "We think this is wonderful and haven't thought it through." EDI deserves the results it gives but everything else about it? Yuck.

[Galbrant]

None, they were all utterly repulsive.

?

You realize AI can be created solely for convenience, right?  Initially, the Geth were substantially inferior to the Quarians, created merely to perform certain functions.  They were created for convenience, efficiency, and profitability, not because the Quarians wanted to create something that would surpass them.

After watching all four endings, I can now only conclude I prefer none. They're all bad. Destroy or Reject should have been my ending of choice but Bioware didn't want us to pick that option.

[mastesargent]

 I've only done Reject so far. That was actually pretty nice. You get a nice sad moment as you take in the destruction of the fleet, and then a nice moment of hope with Liara's Beacon.

I'll have to play around with the other endings.

[tamperous]

I have always maintained that control as the least offensive.

My Shepard cannot be corrupted, even when given absolute power.

[cipherknight]

Destroy. it would have been the best if it didn't wipe out the Geth and EDI if not that then rejection.

[Tankcommander]

I prefer the leaked endings from 6 months before release. Even the 6 'failure' endings were better.

But, they did a pretty good job with the EC. My thoughts:

Reject - Troll to all who asked for it.
Synthesis - Wrong on many different levels, irks me to no end tho it is clearly the 'best' ending
Control - Easily the best if EDI and the Geth are truly destroyed in Destroy. BUT
Destroy - Best overall, the only one that allows me to get rid of the awful Reapers. EDI was known to survive in many people's Destroy playthrough's pre-EC, so as long as it happens in Post-EC then we know Starchild lied about the Geth and EDI dying. In which case, there is nothing wrong with Destroy at all and that will be my choice.

[DeadReck0ning88]

I would say Control (cause no one dies and you re-purpose the reapers to become protectors) and Refusal (The final destruction and glimmer of hope from Liara's beacon, but also if you get the stargazer scene refusal actually makes it work unlike the other endings where it felt out of place. Plus if they did try a Mass Effect 4 it would be better to start it in the New cycle with a new hero and build it to a finishing battle against the reapers. But that is just my opinion.

[karatemanchan37]

Thing I love about all these endings is that, again, it all boils down to morals - which is key in the ME series.

Destroy: You end the threat through genocide (geth) and also the possibility of another similar Quarian-Geth war. As much as I hate to say it the Catalyst is right in that the created will always rebel against the creators, especially if society always consistently push technology to the brink.

Control: You self sacrifice. You technically win, but again, you're given power beyond your understanding. This is purely an extension of the line Illusive Man was following, and there's no indication that Shepard can go corrupt/rogue, nor that the Reapers can overpower his will.

Synthesis: You play God, this time you eradicating free choice and will. Peace or Freedom, you can't have both. The galaxy will be safe for a while, but now everyone is anyone: someone who has reached the height of their potential of both worlds.

Reject: You don't play by the rules, and you go down freely at a cost. The cycle still continues, but you refuse to believe in the choices presented.

I actually like all the endings now that I write it out, because none of them are perfect, or paragon/renegade like ME1 or ME2. There is no "preferred" ending, and that's why I think ME3 succeed, at least partially, here.

Destroy and Reject

[CptBomBom00]

Destroy, its sad that Geth and EDI had to die but I accepted that, also I always imagine that crew came back for shep and galaxy is still in bit of ruins but united.

[sololeocr]

 For me: 
1. Synthesis2. Control3. Refuse4. Destruction

Spoiler

 Watch the reapers and the rest of the species working together is epic!!!

 :O:O

Turning off the game before going to the citadel.

[DuneMuadDib]

Destroy.

Control makes me the enemy, and there's no guarantee that I won't come around to the Reaper mindset in time. Synthesis is repugnant and Starbrat contradicts himself when he says "oh this is the best option, organics shouldn't be forced into it, but you should totally choose for them." Refusal is outright failure, even if it's on your own terms.

[Sylvianus]

So to summarize, we have

1 - Synthesis: The mission to create a beautiful purebred flawless, which has reached the pinnacle of evolution. Forced assimilation but obviously for the good of all.

2 - Control: Take the power to rule over the universe, etc. etc..

3 - destroy the reapers, and actually the main goal since the beginning of the series.

There is only one justifiable option !

[keeveek2]

Control - ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL ! ;-D
