The EC changes nothing about Synthesis to me; the whole EC Synthesis scene almost seems like propaganda.

It was really weid indeed. Perfect, really too perfect. I thought the same... but like someone endoctrinated. Do you think they still use their brains as organics ? lol.

Only problem I have with synthesis is that it's still space magic and thus still makes no sense.

Nanoreapers... that is all.

[Eain]

Well the synthesis slide show was the exact same one as the destroy and control ones except with green eyes.

So I don't see the problem myself, as far as accusations of propaganda go.

I was creeped out by the synthesis ending, everybody has green eyes and gets along with eachother, reminds me of too many horror movies. Besides have you actually saved anyone, when you have changed their essence? How is this different from turning them into reapers?

Sure you've changed their essence, but you've done it in a way where they can evolve and become the best that life has to offer.

This was the happy ending everyone wanted, but didn't diserve.

Someone make a dark knight thing out of sysnthesis! Quick!

Synthesis could be the reason to put in the Catalyst-Child.
-> Destroy: Hell, who did not want to destroy the reapers since ME1? Is this not the goal, we all worked for since?
-> Controll: TIM defends his solution since the ending of ME2.
-> Synthesis (Peace and love with reapers): Someone has to sell it to us/Shep first, bevore we buy it. Saren failed in ME1, so a new charakter is needed. Starchild was born?

(btw... did anyone notice that alien in front of that erotic-book you could buy in ME2. It seems to me, it has a familiar reapers-look somehow. ^^)

I would have been okay with synthesis if it had started appearing in children being born (krogan repopulation efforts come to mind as a perfect medium for this) rather than just appearing all at once in everyone due to "space magic". That way could have even had a little symbolism in that this would be an analogy for the new world Shepard has created being born into existance to replace everything that ever came before.

Eezo is fictional exotic matter with clearly defined properties, applications and effects, all of which were properly thought out and are 'realistic' enough to work in our own universe if it existed. It's also an origional way to get around relativity for FTL travel.

Except Eezo reduces mass, and last I checked even with zero mass you still have to keep to the universe's speed limit.

They were probably looking at Lensman's inertialess drive, which has the exact same mechanism but counters inertial mass rather than regular mass. This system could theoretically allow ships to break c, but it wouldn't allow the fancy wizard tricks from biotics.

Synthesis is sheer impossibility based on a fundamental lack of understanding of any scientific field from Walters and Hudson, especially Biology. It's in no way realistic, believable, or anything other than pure 

So are the mental powers of the protheans and asari.

So much profeit from sysnthesis. This is why we needed the EC, Bioware. We had no idea this is what you meant by synthesis. It's Awesome!

Also LOLOLOLOLOL at godchild "SO BE IT" line. That has to be Bioware's way of saying "You asked for another ending..."

****ing loved the Paragon and Synthesis endings. Beautiful. Even the Destroy ending seemed appropriate, I feel...satisfied and pleased. BioWare, you have restored my faith at least in the ME series.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah, actually. Here is synthesis's second prime offense:

"I AM ALIVE."

You were alive before, EDI. Having absorbed someone's magical "essence of who and what they are" doesn't somehow make you more alive. I needed no further convincing that you lived the moment Joker unshackled you in ME2.

EDI died when you rewrote her...
This is new EDI...

[iSpitfireee]

I feel safer knowing that Shep is the reaper hive mind and synthesis will happen in due time.

[Ageless Face]

The synthesis ending has left quite a big impression me, I admit. All of the catalyst's talk about peace was definetly there. Plus, EDI talking was quite touching. And the LI hug with her. And the whole idea of synthesis, advancement and co-existence with the reapers, them helping the races rebuild and advance it quite appealing.

I won't choose synthesis, though. I like control

Someone beat me to the punch. I was going to do a little thread on synthesis myself.

I can see how it is the "Best" ending, but damn does it come off creepy. I think the green circuits all over everything (including the leafs on the planet) seemed a bit much. I must admit, I hate the ending a lot less now. I might even finish my 3rd play-through. BRAVO! Bioware.

[Velocithon]

ME is based on science.

Synthesis is just magic. It doesn't fit in the ME universe. Plus, everyone looks green and weird. As far as perks go, yeah Synthesis is probably the best. But it makes the least sense and is lame looking. It sounds like something a 7 year would think of to conclude his/her story.

[Gill Kaiser]

Synthesis still horrifies me. If I want to create a merged organic/synthetic being, it'll be my Shepard alone, in the Control ending. Shepard has no right to make the choice to alter all life.

The Catalyst even says that forced synthesis doesn't work. I reject the notion that the choice of one individual counts as willing synthesis for every individual in the galaxy.

IMO, the best ending is Control with a Paragon Shepard. Shepard lives on, in a fashion, and acts as a benevolent machine god, helping the species of the galaxy progress along their own paths.

One thing i thought about regarding synthesis is what if some ones body rejects it? Like how some people are allergic to certain things and have a reaction. It would of been interesting to see some people and other species rejecting the change and possibly dying from it.

[warrior256]

Synthesis is still a problem for me. The rest of Mass Effect could be plausable if we discovered something like Element Zero (at least I think so, but I admit my science knowledge is lacking). But Synthesis is just impossible. As far as I am aware, there is no way for Synthesis as it is described in Mass Effect to occur. Plus I still say it is morally wrong to force this on the galaxy.

From an ending perspective, I really don't like the over the top Utopian aspects of it. I wanted the choice of a happy ending for the series. But I never wanted something that was THAT happy. There should still be some sort of depressing aspect towards it.

[Blind Rapture]

Sorry, but the Synthesis ending in particular is even lower than fantasy. It's anime-esque in terms of plausibility.

[Greed1914]

Synthesis is now almost too good. The only clear negative was that Shepard is vaporized, otherwise it's clearly the "best" ending, like Bioware claimed before.

Of course, the actual explanation was still along the lines of space magic since there isn't really a way to explain that thing.

[Mr. MannlyMan]

The concept of mass effect is based on real-world theoretical physics and our understanding of "dark matter"; the idea behind it bends our understanding of physics, sure, but it's been developed enough that it sounds plausible to the average gamer.

Synthesis is based on... alchemy.

[Cuddlezarro]

I still hate the synthesis ending the very concept of it is enough for me to never ever pick it

That's an insult to even the most egregious new-powers-as-the-plot-demands shonen fighting anime, good sir.

Why was it that Garrus was the only one without glowing circuitry? Is he so awesome that he is already above Synthesis Space-Magic improvement?
