I agree. You spend all 3 games trying to prepare for & destroy the reapers. So actually doing it is the best ending. Plus Shepard lives!

[Balduran Elsdragon]

I interpret it as follows.

Destroy - all artificial life dies, but can be rebuilt to an extent.
Shepard will be found. Original goal "stop the reapers" achieved, though not without cost of lives (Geth/EDI reached status of "living).

Without reaper code (destroyed) you can't create new artificial "life". (like the Geth were in the end)
EDI I'm unsure, was reaper code involved, I recall yes.

Synthesis - individualism dies. Everyone receives the same knowledge and will ultimately live forever.

I can't agree with this ending, if there is no individualism there is no level of free will.
If there is no end to life, there is no reason to reproduce. Otherwise mass population (mass effect) will result into new conflict.

Control - my preferred ending though not without flaw, Shepard "evolves" into the guardian of the galaxy.

As Paragon, this is the most logical choice, the love interest makes it even more bitter-sweet.
In effect, Shepard sacrifices everything he/she had for his/her friends, loved ones, for humanity, for the galaxy.

Refusal - HAXZOR, you lose. (put the hot potato to the next generation - POLITICS ANYONE???)

I first refused flat out, just because I could (it was rather obvious what would happen however) so I went back and replayed to get Destroy, see what happened with Kaidan..

I'm glad that it got explained a little more with the relays and all that and my fangirl heart nearly exploded when I saw the memorial wall..

[ThE_LoNe_R4nGeR]

I'm pretty happy with the "Screw you ending". Just telling the Starchild to screw off was satisfying enough, even if it cost me the entire war. At least Liara's cache survived, and it seems to be paying off for the female stargazer (Asari? or maybe the chick from Avatar?) and her kid.

I then replayed it and was about to Destroy when I put a bullet in Starchild's head. Whoops, guess he didn't like that very much.

I think that will be the most talked about ending in the coming days. Now i gotta replay it and see what Destroy does, which I will probably take as my *Canon* ending.

But God, that was satisfying.

[blacqout]

It's the one i'd go for... but in my opinion all three endings have their flaws.

Destroy, you have to assume that the Catalyst was being truthful when it said that synthetics will always eventually rebel. That possibility will always loom over the galaxy, and i'm sure that any synthetic race that learns about the time "the Shepard" wiped out all organic life might have that colour their disposition somewhat.

I found the Destroy option to be the real choice for freedom, far more so than the new "refuse" option. To totally free the galaxy from the Reaper threat without fundamentally changing the nature of life and give it the chance to grow and carry on without any sort of magical outside intervention is worth the risk of synthetics eventually being created that will adhere to the Catalyst's beliefs.

[woxi]

Yup, its the best ending.
My opinion ofcourse

[Roamingmachine]

I allways pick destroy.It was what i set out do from ME1 and it is what i did.And the avatar of Mac Walters going"You really should pick the green beam.It's really cool and stuff, plus i will give you cookies if you choose it.Pick it NAO!" annoyed the everliving crap out of me. I view the other options as obvious traps that Mac Walters, i mean "Catalyst" wants you to pick because it would allow him, i mean it, to survive.

[tanuki]

I too, think that Destroy is the best, and now it even gives some sense of accomplishment. (And I don't see how geth can be truly truly dead, since essentially they are a bunch of software programs. They could lose their Reaper code and shut down, but then who said they can't be restored from the backup files?)

Control now actually can be an option for the Renegade Shepard, because it lets her to rule the galaxy muahaha.

As for Synthesis... it became even dumber than it was, what's with husks getting suddenly sentient again and Reapers hanging around as wise benevolent buddies who are willing to share their ancient wisdom.
Seriously, before the EC Synthesis was horrid, now it is horrid and laughable at the same time.

[WarBaby2]

I'd say destroy and control are equally "good"... and could be equally canon for coming games.

The only differences between the two are the synthetics and Shepard, but that is no problem in the long run. The synthetics beeing detroyed does nothing for the overall universe, neither does Shep living/dying... sure, s/he possibly is a giant reaper god now, but I doubt s/he will be hanging around after the relays are repaired. Either way (alive or "dead") s/he is out of the picture for future games... and that's what BW wanted.

We don't want no stinking REApers..

Breath Scene.
Also, I like Destroy because you finally kicked the reaper's ass and saved a ton of people, yes there were sacrafices but everyone was willing to make them. As people said, control Shep is probably gonna go psycho emperor/emperess and in Synthesis... I just feel we shouldn't take a shortcut into transcendence like that, just doesn't seem the way we need to do things. Reject is interesting but I can see why some might pick it, basically just yelling F**k you to the catalyst.  I think they should make that the default for ultra low EMS

[Armass81]

Threat of singularity remains tough.

[KcK__]

Yeap, I chose the destroy before EC and after EC. I find it satisfying. For me anyway. Reapers are stopped and destroyed as it was meant to. And if people still want to build synthetics that will become the new reapers, well that is their fault and they deserve what's coming to them. Still, I felt bad that EDI and the Geth had to die. It is slightly comforting that Legion died on Rannoch. Made me feel little less sorry for the Geth.

[krukow]

Shepard living and reuniting with his LI in Destroy is very heavily implied.  Like, officially:

social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/355/index/12756781&lf=8

Between that, and it being the only ending that frees the galaxy of the old machines and lets us dictate our own course, destroy is easily the best ending.

[kalpain]

While I would tend to agree that Destroy is the best because Shepherd lives it is for that reason it I felt the most let down by it. Maybe I was expecting a reunion or a digging through the rubble scene or something reminiscent of ME1. But having him wake up, God knows where while everyone thinking he is dead and then cut to stargazer scene. Ugh, that just left me annoyed. By comparison when I watch the other 2 endings I at least felt more of a sense of closure. Even if reaper Shep was a little creeper...

[Iss_Monster]

I think that the destroy ending is the best out of all of the endings... But I still can't get past the fact that I killed EDI when she finally felt "alive" I just feel so guilty! But the other ones made no sense. Control made you pretty much just like the illusive man and do exactly what you don't want to do. But the synthesis ending is just plain creepy... everybody becomes one, that takes away the reason for living and being an individual. Then you have the refusal ending where you die and warn the future cycle if I am right? I think destroy is the best other than me feeling like a murderer to EDI and all geth but I think that it is the best. I just honestly wish there was a LI reunion that would be nice or maybe future DLC for that because we all know there will be future DLC.

It is implied if you have high EMS there will be a reunion between Shepard and LI, after all the Normandy lift off from that planet and they show Shepard alive in the next scene. (especulations in a good way )

Destroy is still my favorite ending, i am sad about the Geth and EDI but at least the galaxy is  finally free from the Reapers manace. The damege is repaired and the people around the galaxy can start rebuilding their lives again.
Synthesis is still crappy, and altough Control is better now i still don't like the idea of having the Reapers and a god-like Shepard around the galaxy. Who is to say after some hundred years Shepard will not reach a conclusion similar to the Star Brat and start the reapers cycle again?

Bioware really tried hard to make each ending "good". Everything had a positive spin on it.

Except for the passive-aggresive Refusal Ending...

[B.Shep]

I confess i got the refuse ending first because i shoot the Star Brat...lol

The Edge i agree, they really worked to make each ending better.

I could see one for Control, just like Dune 4 after Leto becomes God Emperor. You play as rebels trying to overthrow him as his ideals have now become warped, etc.

I don't think we could have another ME games with Reapers just flying around and Shepard's God voice booming:
"WORK, SLAVES. WORK!"

"I am Commander Shepard and this is the worst excuse for a temple in the universe."

[Jason Ralph]

If someone is REALLY against Destroy, please replay ME3 from the start.
Why?
Pay very close to everything Garrus says. Not just listen to what he's saying but READ it as he's saying it. Yes, text on the screen ruins the emmerssion factor, but his words will sink in.

Namely the conversation about killing X number to save Y number (I forget the numbers he actually says... my bad). That sums up what your party was thinking from the start. Even EDI and Legion. The later who went to a great length so his "people" weren't Controlled...

Destroy works for the renegade player, the one the likes the idea of Shepard being so badass he/she cant die. It works for the same reason Control works for the paragon player, with the uncorruptable avatar of Shepard controlling the reapers and guarding the galaxy .Personally i went from hating synthetic to thinking its the best ending, the probably "cannon" ending if they ever use one. its definitely the "Happy" ending

Oh so you like everyone looking like mutated freaks

[Pain Train]

In my opinion, destroy IS the best and only ending. Reason? The fact that Shepard "lives". IF Shepard survived there is no reason to believe that other synthetics (like EDI or other Geth) did not also survive. So in short, the Catalyst lied about the destruction of NON-reaper synthetics. That is the only logical conclusion you can make from "the breath".

In addition, all full synthetics are nothing more than electronic machines and software when you come down to it. How can you destroy JUST synthetic electronics and not every other electronic device in the universe? (medical devices, starships, weapons...) Clearly that didn't happen give the comments and images in the epilogs. More proof that the Catalyst lied in my mind. Anyway, that's my story and I am sticking to it.

Before I thought Destroy was best. Now, honestly, I think Control and yes, even Synthesis are all well done endings. Each one is different enough for people to choose what they want.
