I too pick Destroy with a Paragon. Control seems a set up for ME4 with Shep as the bad guy with all that power, and no amount of idealistic whitewashing will make me see Synthesis as something other than an abomination. The writers may try to ignore all the implications, but I won´t.

I agree with this - No matter how you see your Shepard, I knew that mine would be corruptible if the right buttons were pressed. That is to say, in terms of Control, no one should have that kind of power, and as mentioned by Legion, we should advance at our own pace.

My Shep was a Paragon with a little bit of a renegade temper, and she'll always choose destroy. The implications of the other two options were even more horrific, but the sacrifices made during the destroy ending would haunt her for the rest of her life, and leave her pretty broken at her core.

What I don't get is why Destroy is seen as renegade when that is what was set out to do since ME1? Destroy is the paragon thing to do since it saves humanity. IMO

My paragon shep blew them up. My renegade shep blew them up. Femshep blew them up. Broshep blew them up.

I blew them up, is what I'm saying.

I'm pure paragon and I pick Destroy. Synthesis is a nonsensical abomination and control it's too risky. I accept refusal ending but I prefer the destroy one.

[d1ta]

Always play paragon (or paragade-ish), always choose destroy

[Mojenator12345]

Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Any other choice and you're rolling the dice with the lives of every living thing the galaxy. It's as paragon as a choice can be.

Pure Paragon, and I choose destroy. I'm out to end the Reapers. I just hope they manage to fix the Geth...</3

Considering that nearly all spare-faring species were just about wiped out by a race of synthetics, this notion probably won't go over well with the rest of the galaxy. 

[LeesyB]

100% paragon and I will choose destroy every time. My Shepard agrees with Hackett - the only good reaper is a dead reaper.

[MB957]

I pick all of them, just to see the different ways it ends. I dont care for any of them much, because, I always come back to the same question...

how do I trust shiny boy?? how do I know what these buttons, any of them, will do? is there a manual on the side, to confirm or deny what star brat is saying?

what if all 3 buttons are a trick, and the reapers are just messing with shep?

again, there is nothing that leads me to believe that its ok to trust the star child AI, and push any of the 3 buttons.

refusal makes some sense, because at least that gives me time to assess the situation and find out how the crucible truly works.

because, again, for me, why in the world would my enemy give me the keys to the castle??

ok, maybe he is a misguided AI, and not evil, so, destroy is a plausable solution to him. if so, then why does he get all emotional, pissy and use his bad guy voice if shep refuses?

that leads me to believe , again, that he is lying, and evil, and trying to trick me.

so, again, it just keeps going round and round, with no clear lead as to what it going on and what is possible.

and that is why it continues to be an epic fail as an ending for me.

and I always play as paragon, with a lil renegade thrown in!

This is pretty much why I never bother with Control, even if it isn't quite as awful as Synthesis.

In any event, Destroy is the only remotely viable option for me, regardless of alignment. So yes, I did go Destroy with my Paragon, and most probably will with my Renegade next time.

Kill 'em all, and let glowy god child sort 'em out. Oh wait, killed him too. Good riddance.

Geth, EDI, Legion - you will be missed.

[Thorn Harvestar]

My paragon Shepard picked Destroy, because he felt the only way to prove the Reapers wrong was to remove them from the equation entirely. 

My Shepard is not looking forward to having to face Joker after recovering from his wounds. Even though I'm sure Joker would find the other choices abhorrent or suicidal, I'd be afraid that I've just destroyed one of my Shepard's oldest friendships.

Neither do the Geth deserve what I've dealt them, but I have faith that the quarians have learned from their mistakes in their brief stretch of co-existant peace. At least, enough of them to matter. I would hope that they rebuild the Geth.

I imagine there are lots of trips to the bar in store for my Shepard. I'm just glad he'll have Garrus around to support him as he deals with the reality of what he has done.

No, he is not lying. It is Bioware's way of making fun on the passionate fans who (gasp) were not emotionally satisfied by committing genocide, slavery, or brain-washing the masses in the original endings. 

[Fiannawolf]

Without any hestiation before or After the EC. All my Sheps will pick destroy reguardless of Alignment.

I don't see that happening. Like I mentioned in an earlier thread, the galaxy as a whole will understandably oppose any attempt to create AI for a long, long time.

It's Renegade because it slaughters every last Geth in the galaxy, + EDI. That's the only reason it's "Renegade", and it only effects EDI if you've already killed the Geth (a Renegade choice).

I'm a really hardcore Paragon to the point that I think the only Renegade interrupt I've ever taken with a Paragon Shep is the smash-Leng's-sword one, since I feel like a terrible Shepard if I don't. My ME2 Shepard chose Control, and redoing that playthrough I'll choose Synthesis... both are ok, I guess.

My ME1 -> ME2 -> ME3 Paragon Shep, which I'm importing next and has been totally pure Paragon across all two previous games... I have to choose Destroy. I've simply worked way too hard for the end result to be "Shepard dies, sucks to be you", even saving the Geth/EDI. I want them to live, I really do, but I want some kind of "happy ending" or reunion, and that's impossible in the other two. Control the real you dies, Robot-Shep doesn't care about your LI, and Synth you're dead and everyone gets mutated.

If there was a Destroy that didn't kill the Geth and EDI, I'd pick it in a heartbeat. But let's face it, so would every other player. There is really only 3 different choices and the Destroy "accidental genocide" because a "just kill Reapers" option would be the only one any real player would pick. Maybe the Renegades would pick Control to be godlike beings, I suppose, but a consequence-less Destroy is just too appealing.

So yeah, I will be Destroying on me all-3 playthrough. I love the Geth, but I worked too damn hard across 3 games to just die. If Bioware allowed us to survive the other endings too...

Personally, I would have thought that if the Catalyst viewed the Crucible as a threat, it would have tricked Shepard into thinking Destroy would have destroyed the Reapers when, in reality, it would have blown up the Crucible.

That would have been awesome and way too complicated for the narrative to handle. The narrative for the three games tends to keep it simple and any complexity has always been brought in by the players.

There is no need to blow up the Crucible, the Crucible NEEDS the Catalyst for completion, the Catalyst has the final say about what the energy hits

I did.

Both playthroughs thus far, Paragon, Destroy.

Probably all my future ones, too.
