I would prefer Destroy (1st), Control, Synthesis, and Refusal (last).

Control. The thought of my Shepards being acing like a god like figure and watching over the characters from the series I love really appeals to me.

[Lenimph]

Destroy...

Yeah the whole EDI thing was sad but technically didn't she "die" at luna base too. What's to say I can't bring her back again?

[Shallyah]

Still Destroy. The Galaxy will only be safe from the Reapers without Reapers. Besides, the scenario after Destroy is MUCH better than I first anticipated. The Relays can be rebuilt, the Citadel can be rebuilt, the Geth can be rebuilt... and Shepard will reunite with his LI. Where's the downside? It's like all the best possible headcanon we've been hoping for came true.

EDI takes one for the team, but she was already destroyed by Shepard in Luna and she was restored. Nothing says she can't be restored again.

Same here.

Although the Extended Cut changed the other 2 endings from "meh..." to "guess they're quite good too" for me.

Still Destroy though.

And the refusal would be nice if we could win conventionally, but ok...

[Arcadian Legend]

Destroy. The EC however somehow made me think on my decision a lot more than it did before, which I think is a big plus. Basically Destroy>Reject>Synthesis=Control, that's my order of preference.

Eternal. Infinite. Immortal.

Control>Destroy/Synthesis>Refusal

[XXIceColdXX]

Mmm I wonder if with future dlc , which will add more war assets if it would help the chances of a conventional victory with refuse.

[Bionic Weapon]

Destroy

 It was what the goal from ME1 was for my Shepard and he wanted to ensure a Reaper free galaxy for all. I honestly don't feel we need them in the other endings to rebuild. My Shepard brought them all tighter to fight this threat so in the end these same allies/ brothers/ comrades/friends can be used to rebuild society and the galaxy themselves since its them doing it together and independent.


I also believe EDI and the Geth are not out for good either. Destroy may have rid the galaxy of all synthetic life, but I don't see that wiping out who she or they are, but rather what they are.  They can be rebuilt and I honestly think they can remain the same.



Plus if it is any indication from the Cerberus Base if a brain dead Shepard can be brought back to who he was, same values, same person, same ideas but with extras to keep him fighting then EDI and the  have a future too. That's how I like to see it.

Destroy ending.

I don't buy into that crap of "The Geth and EDI will die too". It's all the word of an enemy, the controller of the Reapers trying to worm it's way out of it's own defeat and hard sell the Reaper preferred choices of the illusion of control and Saren's answer of Synthesis.  No conclusive evidence was ever given of the termination of EDI or the Geth; no bodies, no statements from survivors, nothing save for the treacherous words of the enemy.

My course it's set, no blasted AI, especially the creator of the great enemy, will sway me from my goal. I stand firm against the enemies of Man, and all other worthy life. The Reapers are beyond redemption and as such must be destroyed.

Like i said on another thread, nobody is familiar with the technology used to wipeout the synthetics. It may not have "killed" the geth and EDI, it could have just temporarily shut them down. Starchild said that "any technology harmed can easily be repaired" so it is possible that he geth and EDI were just temporarily shut own, not disabled.

For me - it was the synthesis. I have made this choice in very first gameplay, but then I didn't like it that much, but now - synthesis was clear choice. I don't say it's the only possible ending - but for my gameplay it definitely is.

It actually makes sense why the destroy is marked red (implying rengade) - renegade options weren't about being some überbastard trying to kill everyone. It was about Sheppard who is willing to do anything to fulfill his orders. And that's what he does in the end. He doesn't care if synthetics dies - he didn't evolve in mind that much - he doesn't see other oportunities - he just want to destroy reapers, because for him it's the only right thing to do. And that's completely understandable.

Yet I wouldn't make this choice with my Sheppard, because I like to think of him as an open-minded person, who at first was just a soldier whose only focus was to avenge the galaxy and destroy reapers, but after all he realizes troughout the gameplay of each game - the truth about Geth rebellion, also the whole leitmotiff with EDI and finally - in the end he just knows that galaxy couldn't be the same and that synthetics have right to live. He changes to make this final descision - yes he makes this choice for the whole galaxy, it is the risk, but the risk is in all choices - for what he knows at that point - destroy might not destroy reapers at all. Sheppard knows that Reaper problem is greater then he, or Earth, or all living things in the Galaxy in this circle for that matter. It is about solving enormous conflict, which can't end just by shooting some bad guy in the head. And yes - everything was changed. But it given the others power to comprehend that situation - they have access to all the knowledge in the galaxy now - I think it would help them understand why Sheppard did it.

And also for control - he actually saves collective knowledge of all those dead civilisations (which is explicitely said) - so he doesn't save only his people, but in a way everyone from past cyclces.

On the other hand - control ending with the entity which reffers to Sheppard as a "man who he used to be" is quite creepy - disaster waiting to happen.

So Synthesisit is And I like everything about EC - for me it now makes perfect sense and I am happy about it.

I thing the best is control, because if accidentally in future something goes wrong with the AI, there will be Shepard controlling the Reapers army to to stop them and protect organic life. Synthesis is also safe solution, but many things are radically changed and those spooky eyes... I was afraid to go Destroy.. because peace won't last, there will be none left to "protect us from ourselves".

[Guglio08]

Paragon Control.

I get really emotional when thinking about letting go of my Shepard, and while he technically survives in Destroy, I don't see how he would survive from his injuries for long.

Control, though, let's his ideals live forever by keeping the galaxy safe. I don't buy into him going insane with power or whatever. I don't think he would do it.

[Will-o'-wisp]

Still Destroy, of course.

Destroy > Refuse > Control > Turning off Xbox after Anderson died > Synthesis

IMO Destroy os the only option that gives the galaxy a chance to rebuild and build their own future on terms I can live with.

Control is acceptable for me after EC, but I don't trust AI-Shepard. I don't think this wole galactic peacekeeper / god /reaper king stuff will end well.

Synthesis is the most ridiculous, nonsensical ending of all of them and I would never choose it. Too much space magic and unbelievable utopia crap. This ending simply doesn't fit the Mass Effect Universe at all and changes life on a level on which it simply shouldn't be changed imo.

Dito.

[Darman]

Destroy, of course. Just like before.

I won't give up Life. Especially not with Tali. Even if that means I have to sacrifice the Geth and force the Quarians to live with their helmets on a little longer.

I just refuse to merge Organics with synthetics, no matter how "perfect" the solution would be. And I wont throw my life away like this. Husks and Humans living happily together. Everybody with green glowing eyes. No. The only picture that hurted me about that was the Quarian without mask side by side with the Geth. And that I can't have this in Destroy.

Control, however, I do not consider as an ending to discuss. Its just wrong. And also means I have to die. No.

Im sorry for everyone who accepts Sheps death. You must have done something wrong. My emotional bonding to this character and others is too deep to let it go like this.

Destroy. From the start i was on a crusade to destroy the Reapers. So u bet ur ass i followed through with what has been my main mission for the entirety of the games.
Living, and being able to rebuild every thing (which i choose to believe includes the Geth and EDI) is all just bonuses.

Synthesis just seems %^&@ed up to me, and Control seems destined to go wrong at some point.

Vaporize ending.

Definitely feels like you deserve it.

[Stalker]

It really hurt to sacrifice Geth and EDI, but still Destroy.
I finished what I came for: completely free the galaxy from the influence of the Reapers. The life continues and evolves as normal... with Shepard.

This. Although I'm shocked at the way in which Control seemed to have become a bit more compelling in my mind. Although I still find it to be the ending with the least thematic resonance. It undercuts a lot of major motifs and themes throughout the trilogy. And I admit that the allegorical implications are a bit disconcerting.

I will say this: Destroy will always be my least favorite. At least with sufficient EMS. Because I think the narrative demands that Shepard die.

I completely understand this bond. But I don't know - I just feelit is allright for sheppard to die. It's something he accepted long ago. It's something he is suposed to do. I believe Shepard is bigger than sacrificing entire species (even if they are synthetic) for a chance to be with his LI. This wasn't story about a soldier who fights a good fight and gets to be with his girl in the end. This was the story that was about changing galaxy's long set order. This just don't come without sacrifices. And if it means that Shepard has to sacrifice only himself - it's a fair price.

[Budjik]

I completely understand arguments for Destroy ending. In generall I think it's now great, that all the endings are sort of good - it's not about bad/good now - but it's about how it ends - and the choice is I believe on the player and his preferences.

Of course Rejection ending is a bit different in this, but on the other hand - everyone tells you troughout the whole game, that even combined firepower of entire galaxy could not win the war conventionaly, so if you refuse to use catalyst... It propably ends bad - and I really love, that they have used the idea of Liara's time capsule.
