I don't see why they'd even need to reproduce in Synthesis. Isn't one of the only good parts about being synthetic immortality as long as you can repair your parts? I just...:?

And reproduction + Immortality = VERY BAD

Especially since Krogan breed like damn rabbits.


Also, if they happen to require reproduction, I wonder how Synthesis will affect the assembling of chromsomes and such (alien equivalent, of course).

This is the first time in the series that Bioware has said one of your player choices is the "wrong" one. You're supposed to pick one of these other three, and if you don't, you played the game wrong.

 


I'm guessing you never tried to romance Morinth in ME2. Image IPB

I don't recall him saying they couldn't get it right. Merely that organics weren't ready.

 
He says that they "tried and failed".

...as for the cutting the power arguement. That's splitting hairs as you'd say. If he's capable of cutting the power in refuse, he's capable of cutting the power in every single ending and making the Crucible unusable. He's letting Shepard use it.

 
I'm not splitting hairs, I'm saying it doesn't prove your assertion that the options are somehow given to you by the Catalyst, 'cause they're not.  The Catalyst concedes that the options present a better solution than what the Reapers are capable of, and therefore cooperates, but they are still not his solutions, and you're still not accepting his twisted logic by using the Crucible.

Yeah I was wrong. The warning was for other Protheans. That only makes chances of the next cycle getting it right and defeating the Reapers conventionally stronger.


The only thing truly unconventional about the Crucible is the size and scope of the project, and the galactic unity required to make it a reality.  It's still just a weapon.

Hell all the endings need space magic explanations except Reject.

The Crucible was really a poor idea to start with. A conventional war could've been achievable with a few plot changes. (and less of the Reapers being gods. Considering their attack stragety there's no reason for them to be so OP).

A conventional victory in Mass Effect 3, with the previous two games being constant, would have required a retcon of the Reapers' strength.  The Crucible is no more space magical than Dragon's Teeth, the Reapers themselves, or the "cutting edge" tech that brought Shepard back from the dead.

Yes he's the one letting you use it! Without him the Crucible doesn't work.

As for Synthesis. I'm pretty sure he said he attempted it it just didn't work because organics weren't ready.


That and the fact that they couldn't get Synthesis right. Also, the Catalyst cuts power to the Crucible. All that means is that the Catalyst is capable of cutting the power. Can't activate the thing, didn't build the thing, ergo the solutions still are not the Catalyst's solutions.



Fine whatever. Shepard clearly understood the warning.


Yes, the warning that was meant for other Protheans.


I don't see why they'd even need to reproduce in Synthesis. Isn't one of the only good parts about being synthetic immortality as long as you can repair your parts?


Synthesis basically strengthens DNA with synthetic tissue and grants a deeper understanding of the hearts and minds of others.  It doesn't make anyone immortal, EDI herself clarifies this.  They're also not cyborgs.  Genetics are stronger, but as for individuals, look at Joker's limp.  His brittle bones are still brittle, Krogans are still Krogans, turians are still turians, etc.


Yep and keeps the Husks alive, Also brings KG's graybox back to life, never punishes the Catalysts or anyone for that matter all is forgotten so there is absolutely spits on the thought of justice, ignors free will completly and changes everyone's being/soul/whatever you want to call it, without any thought to what they want.  Follows Catalysts logic completly without even questioning even though Shappard spent 3 games trying to kill the Reapers saying how he was going to kill the Reapers.

Yeah that's a great ending.

Mass Effect 3, as much as it pains me to say it, is full of literary disasters.

The husks are simply an extension of the Reapers' will.

The clip you see is just Kasumi using Keiji's graybox, not Keiji's ghost coming back to life. 

never punishes the Catalysts or anyone for that matter all is forgotten so there is absolutely spits on the thought of justice,

 
The Catalyst is a thing, not a person, doing what it was programmed to do.  The Reapers were doing the same thing, and are liberated by synthesis.

ignors free will completly and changes everyone's being/soul/whatever you want to call it, without any thought to what they want.


You have no idea whether or not that happened anymore than I do.

Follows Catalysts logic completly without even questioning even though Shappard spent 3 games trying to kill the Reapers saying how he was going to kill the Reapers.


Shepard also spent three games constantly adjusting his strategies to new information when his preconcpetions were challenged.  The ending is no different.  The Catalyst's logic is based on eons of observation of the same pattern happening repeatedly, in other words the rift of understanding between organics and synthetics was a real problem, the Catalyst just went about solving it in a terrible way.

Yeah that's a great ending.   


I guess.  It's not what I choose.

Sovereign: I am going to destroy you
Shepard: Like hell you are.
Harbinger: There is no hope we are the vanguard of your destruction.
Shepard: BS I am going to stop you.
Space Brat (the combination of all reapers mind you, he tells you so): You have 3 choices that all basically suck.
Shepard: Where do I sign.

Stupid.

Your summary is lacking in a lot of important facts.  For instance, the fact that the Crucible was Shepard's stated goal through the entire final game, the fact that you don't have to accept the Catalyst's logic, the fact that any victory against a force as powerful as the Reapers will require great sacrifice, etc.

To be fair ME1 and ME2 had their fair share. They just didn't make it so blatantly obvious you felt like you were choking on it.

Your points are speculation as much as mind are except.

Kasumi is holding hands with the damn graybox, poor girl.

Catalyst is an AI in as much as we are an animal so he deserves to be punished.

It's kinda sad, isn't it.  Still, seems to be good enough for her.  Guess they were pretty deep in their relationship when Keiji got Hock'd.

Not nearly as sad as her using a cloaking field to watch Jacob do workouts.

Greybox romance was a vast improvement.Image IPB

Yeah I remember going wut at how fast the council believed Shepard but that immediately went to the back of my mind during the awesome Spectre induction scene. :o (same with my original WTF reaction to the all human council but Udina's awesomesause speech again just made me go "sure this doesn't make that much sense but it's awesome!") 

Oh it certainly did. I loved the discussion with Mordin on the genophage. I tended to mix up paragon/neutral/renegade in conversations. Let Shep feel more grounded.

The overabundance of autodialogue in ME3 certainly didn't do it any favors. <_<

I don't mind the sacrifice, but to me the refusal ending is the most authentic to the story.  When I heard Shepard's speach (which I had missed the first time because it was the shot starbrat ending), I was happy again and right away I loved Mass Effect.  

Ever see the movie the Crusible (ironic that it is named that).  At the end when they want John Proctor to just lie and admit he was a Witch, and he says you have taken everything from me just leave me my name, and then he dies so that he doesn't have to do something that was against his character.  That is exactly how I feel about the refusal ending, and I don't care what bioware or anyone else has to say about it.  Don't care if the Reapers won for the rest of etierinty.  My Sheppard when out like the boss he had always been, fighting for freedom and humanity.  

I will leave this here starts around the 5 minute mark.

Honestly Kasumi's obsession with the greybox hit creepy to me especially given the Synthesis ending.

I can just imagine her Refuse ending ending with her dead wrapped around Keiji's arms as husks swarm her quarters. :unsure:

Damn man people are still raging over this? Can the fringe group just give it up and stop trying to force Bioware into a conventional victory with a Disney ending?

Refusal. I've never seen a more coward group. Refusal b/c you're too scared to get blood on your hands so the whole cycle pays. So self-righteous and selfish in your morality that you literally sacrifice +9 races, +100 billion people on principle.

I'm going to bet that these people would only do it in a game. If they had to deal with the reality of watching their wife, children and love ones dying due to their inaction, they'd change their self-righteous tone in a heartbeat.

Problem. How crappy is your morality, freedom and humanity if 1 person's simple decision is worth the lives of billions? 

You literally are saying that 1 billion more years of the reapers, 20000 cycles, 200000 unique races and likely TRILLIONS of lives are worth less to you than 'going out like a boss'?!

I will not make my Shepard a monster to do so.  Freedom for the galaxy is more importaint then life, the fact that they let my Shepard act this out in the game made it awsome.
