There's no easy way out. They are all hard choices, just like your powers in multiplayer. The endings are balanced.
Some of the powers in multiplayer aren't really that hard of a choice to make, unfortunately. Concussive shot rank 6 - if you take the Amplification power, you're doing it wrong.
Well no. I see your point.
Refuse is like Concussive shot rank 6 Amplification. If you choose it, you're doing it wrong.

Again your comparing a fleet, to billions of people. Arloch company doesn't need to be sacrificed. I never said we had to save everyone, but im not destroying a whole species, we are an united galaxy we will fight not surrender to the catalyst logic and reasoning. And the next cycles defeats the Reapers based on your information, so I died, I didn't commit Genocide, and the Reapers ended up being defeated.Vexille wrote...

Wrong, Like I said beforehand I didn't know everyone beforehand everyone was going to die, and you even admitted to their being a slim chance so you can't argue with that. Did we fail, yes, did we know beforehand, no. Unless you know everything beforehand you wouldn't know for sure we were going to fail. Also, When Garrus told me that I disagreed so I don't get the point.Vexille wrote...

Answer the question, also i should add, I remember talking to EDI, I don't quite remember the story but it went that some people decided to all die instead than to sacrifice each other. Also, do you believe in this quote... "is submission not preferable to extinction"Father_Jerusalem wrote...
Khajiit Jzargo wrote...
How do you know the Galaxy isn't united and won't sacrifice anyone even if it means all of them dying. Like i said you can't prove me wrong.
Because logic dictates that not everyone in the galaxy is a complete and utter idiot.
I remember my shep in ME1 saying I rather die trying.
I think you are just the worst general ever![]()
as garrus said... its just the ruthless calculus of war... deciding that 10 billion people over here die so that 20 billion people over their live.
you on the other hand just choose to kill everyone because you are afraid of making the tough decisions
I wouldn't be the worst general, a stubborn one maybe, but not the worst. I just think to the believe that we will do everything united as a whole not sacrifice anyone, we never agreed to that, and I'm pretty sure for destroyers supporters the situation would chance if the Catalyst told them their favorite species had to die, also, at the time picking Destroy is a risk too, how do you know it won't destroy people with synthetic implants.
your choice would have killed every advanced race currently in existence... yes that would qualify you for the worst general ever.
highlighted is untrue... people are CONSTANTLY being sacraficed in the reaper war, this "everything united as a whole not sacrifice anyone" is something you made up and has no foundation in the game itself. the 3rd fleet was sacrificed, arloch (the krogans) company was sacraficed for the rachni queen, entire planets are sacrificed to the reapers and left defenseless.
you cant save everyone is highlighted THROUGH OUT the game.

It's NOT the same thing. In my scenario there is one key difference - each person has the ability to choose for themselves, not have that choice foisted upon them by one person who the VAST majority of them have never met, may not even know exists, don't necessarily trust, and would never EVER allow to represent them under these, or any, circumstances.
The ability to make your own choice > having that choice thrust upon you with literally no recourse by someone else.
If Shepard chooses Refuse, they all die. Full. Stop. There is NOTHING they can do about it.

[/quote]First thing synthesis makes no sense but I'll try to reason with unreason. Your DNA/Framework is changed and you hate that, but you don't want to kill yourselve. Therefore is a choice that is thrusted upon you and you can't do anythhing about it. The point of them killing themselves is absurd, I explained a lot of people would hate to co-exist with the reapers, and i mean a lot. So what, you want a mass suicide you find that better? your logic is so absurd im going to stop arguing it until you provide a decent point.

Just to dispel the common notion that ALL destroyers hate or don't care about the Geth or EDI, My Shep did. Very much so. He brokered peace between the Geth and Quarians. He encouraged Joker to try a relationship with EDI. He was a true Paragon. He was just incredibly weary of the two other options. My Shep was just talking to the Illusive Man about how high the risks of Control were, "Are you willing to bet Humanity's existence on it?" We've seen what one entity in control of that level of power has done. My Shepard, for all the universe's imperfections, loved diversity. Forcing that level of change, taking away that diversity (even if it was only on the level of Organics and Synthetics) was abhorrent to him, images of the Reapers and the Husks of all the species come to mind. In his mind, it was the Catalyst's solution. The Reaper's solution. This left him with Destroy. He could erase the Reapers from existence, the Catalyst would be no more. Life would be free. Diversity eventually preserved. But at a terrible cost. The Geth and EDI. But he had to take that decision. He would have taken it if it cost any one of the other races instead of the Synthetics, including Humanity. He considered them just as alive. But it didn't make him feel any better. However, he didn't buy the crap that it was inevitable for Synthetics to wipe out all other life. His past experiences taught him this. Synthetics could be rebuilt. But he knew there would be no bringing EDI or the Geth back. He hopes that they'll be remembered. That when the time comes for new Synthetic intelligences to be built, that the lessons learned in this war would not be forgotten. That the same mistakes wouldn't be repeated. There might not be much left. But there is hope.
Not all destroyers are heartless murderers.
P.S.Nor am I saying that people who chose anything else are any worse than me. They're all valid options with a high risk/cost. This is purely my reasoning behind me choosing the Destroy option. Its just a case of what cost you are willing to take to do what you percieve must be done.
by accepting to play and end mass effect you are a mass murder
by taking 1 of the 3 options you agree with a mass murderer and pretty much help him get his way
so you are just as good as he is
to agree to the genocide of gazillion souls by accepting his will
you are a mass murderer
and by refusing to accept is aw so flawed logic
you condemn the galaxy all the people you know and love to be submitted to complete genocide
making you yes you guessed it correct A mass murder yet again
my signature says it all
no matter what you do its over before it even started
no matter how you spin it you are not going to win
