Hitler killed a race of machines that was trying to exterminate all advanced civilizations?

I did. Mainly Paragon throughout the whole trilogy. Destroy needed to be done. I needed to ride the galaxy of the cycle of death and destruction once and for all. We destroy them or they destroy us. Our salvation lies with their destruction

I don't think these endings can be classified as either paragon or renegade too many gray areas in all of them. I view destroy as the most ideal ending because it ends the war and allows galactic civilization to forge it's own destiny for better or worse. After destroy I go with synthesis and then control. I put synthesis over control because in control I don' t trust even my shepard to not get corrupted by the power. Refusal isn't even worth mentioning.

 Well duh, Destroy IS the Paragon ending. It's what we set out to do since ME1. Any other choice is considered a compromise to the original mission. I believe Hacket said it best. "Wrong, dead Repears is how we win this."

How's sacrificing an allied race and a friend, Paragon?

I chose Destroy because it embodied what I represented - free will and uncompromising who I was to win.

In Synthesis we compromise organic & tech to make a utopia of sythnorganic entities. It didn't really fit with Mass Effect. Though this seemed (at first) like the "Highest Good" when I really looked at it, it was just what the Reapers were doing the entire time. The fact that they even lived after the sythesizing was detrimental. If the Reapers were destroyed with synthesis I may have felt better - but no. This was an overwhelming compromise to prevent the deaths of billions.

Control - blatant and obvious. Shepard goes three games saying "we make our own way without using tech of the reapers" My shep destroyed the collector base and at the end when yelling at TIM he said "I will win without sacrificing the soul of our species" He even said (when destroying the base) "I won't let fear compromise who I am". At the end of Control he says "there is power in using your enemies strength" - it just didn't fit.

Even then, in Synth and Control, the Galaxy evolves under the Reapers still. Only in Destroy does the Cycle completely and utterly break. Our galaxy, technology, and everything else was directed by the Reapers and after Destroy we direct the destiny of the Galaxy.

My $0.02 cents...

In war there's always sacrfice. Do you honestly believe the galaxy would prefer to have the Repears controlled after all the hell they put on the galaxy? Of course not, people lost loved ones to them and were almost wiped out. There is no peace to be made with them. Everyone wanted the Reapers dead and gone no matter the cost.

Didn't almost everyone pick destroy?


There's plenty of polls that can answer that question, but I'd rather give a bit more info:

https://docs.google....RxdFJDSkE#gid=0

Hackulator compiled a bunch(~200) responses on a thread asking what people chose before EC and after, and how they rated the endings in both cases. Column B is their pre-EC choice, column E is whether they changed it, and columns C and D are their scores before and after.

Short answer: destroy is many times more popular.

I see. Interesting. Well, it was the Anderson choice. How could I not choose it? :whistle:

But I didn't choose it "without regret." Kind of a dick move after the whole thing with Legion, and EDI. But, not much of a choice.

That's a nice short sighted view full with one and only thing, revenge.


Very Renegade to me.

It sort of has a Punisher vibe to it I agree, bit it's still a better choice compared to the risk Control and Synthesis poses.

You just shoot yourself in the foot there.


Punisher is not ever remotely Paragon like.

I chose Destroy, on both of my characters (Paragade MaleShep, Renegon FemShep). I don't think morality comes into play in any of the endings (except Control, where the "tone" of Shepard is affected by Paragon/Renegade, so I hear).

Your mininterpreting Pragaon and Renegade, both a Paragon and Renegade Shepard can choose Destroy because Shepard in general wants to destroy the Reapers regardless of what choices you make. If Renegade was ACTUALLY evil Shepard would just I don't know maybe control the Reapers to rule the Galaxy. Just because you do things a bit rouger doesn't make you evil. A renegade Shepard will do whatever it takes to win while Paragon Shepard wants to keep his honor AND win.

I picked it myself, well I picked all three but I like Destroy best.

There is no paragon or renegade options, merely options. The paragon/renegade effects only the aftermath in one's head, can peace be truly made between Organics and Synthetics without Reaper intervention, or do Organics destroy all synthetics whenever they can?

Destruction is the only way to attain peace. Let organic races decides their own fate.
Also, to be reunited with LI if possible.

I chose Destroy because the other two "solutions" were Reaper solutions based on the flawed premise that organics and synthetics could never coexist. If it hadn't been made abundantly clear throughout the course of the story by Hackett et al that "we're not gonna win this war through conventional means" I would have chosen Refusal, hands down.

I had one paragon play through... and took control, sorry. I could barely stomach choosing control or the play through. Canon play through is a Renegon and went Destroy.

So, a question, paragon players - do you consider Destroy ending to be a renegade option?


No, how can it be considered the renegade option when it was the main idea throughout the entire series.

Pure Paragon, Paragade, Renagon, Renegade  - I'd pick Destroy for each of them. The Catalyst is completely untrustworthy and any choice that somehow obliges it is bound to be bad for everyone. Destroy is the only ending that actually accomplishes the goal of the series - ending the Reaper thread permanently.
