I have been reading and debating on the merits of some of the endings, and I have come to a conclusion... and would like to see if you can confirm it or disprove it.


I think that no matter what change were made to Destroy, as in adding a way for EDI and the Geth to survive, would not sway people away from Control or Synthesis.

The people who choose those endings, did so out of their personal beliefs or worldbview etc... hence a change on Destroy to make it more palatable would most likely only affect those who right now put Reject above Destroy.


What do YOU think?

If in Destroy you could save the Geth... would you pick Destroy instead of the other endings... and most important... are you changing your previous choice?

I continue to pick Destroy, even going on the statement that the Geth and EDI die. So if they gave them a way to live from Destroy, of course I wouldn't alter my choice. I want to be able to Reject (I do not like the way they implemented Reject so I don't choose it). Outside of a better Reject option, Destroy is the only one that made sense for the way I played my Shepard, regardless of the consequences.

 Nope. I chose Synthesis, but no ****'s were given from me about killing off all synthetic "life" by choosing Destroy.


I laugh at people thinking it's like some sort of hostage situation. As Renegade Shepard says in ME2, that only works if the enemy knows you care about the hostage.

I agree... the penalty of losing the Geth and EDI is only a penalty for those of us who consider them to be alive... those who see synthetics as just tools have no penalty at all.

There should be an option: No, I already choose destroy

[Welsh Inferno]

The poll choices don't really distinguish between those who would change their choice and those who wouldn't. Me? Doesn't change a damn thing. Synthesis.

I do consider the Geth as alive by the way.

Thought about it, but would be quite redundant since the other polls asking about the endings already show that over 65% of people pick destroy anyway.

[Tealjaker94]

I would expect basically all refusal people to change, some control people, and a few synthesis people.

[Hackulator]

Your poll is fatally flawed because your answer choices do not allow you to actually determine an answer to your question.

Funny. Paragon shep says that too. Obviously bluffing but still.

They made destroy to kill the Geth and EDI to repulse the gamers from taking the option

[Caenis]

Well I started to put Synthesis but my position has changed for Control, though I still feel like voting Synthesis everytime XD. I wouldn't choose Destroy just because the other options are there and just as good and give me the option not to be a barbaric (primitive) human chimpanzee... 

You can probably infer that while I think humanity is beautiful, I think they are still young, and that their (my bad: OUR) destruction would not only be inevitable at this rate but preferred...perhaps I am feeling bitter at the moment as I have had too much Iced black Tea with Lemon and am going through a bout of despair and hopelessness that only the hand pan and a new game can cure....
Someone quick create another game so I can get my fix, going through serious withdrawal here. :innocent:

I pick destroy always and I consider the geth and edi to be alive and would like that but you know people would say oh great now they made destroy the best ending. Which it should be

[mambastyle]

The ending I choose depends on the personality and morals of the Shep I'm playing. None of my "real" personal feelings get involved in the choice.

It is referred to as "role playing" after all...I mean c'mon...

I don't really understand reject. I mean you built the crucible, yeah space kid can say whatever he wants, but in the end you should use it, that's why you built it in the first place... Shepard is hesitant after Mars, but ater that she goes to the Council and tells them she has a plan to win the war: to build the Crucible!

Problem with the Crucible is that, during the game, you don't know what it does and how's that's supposed to aid in defeating the Reapers.  You built it, you got there, you did everything you were supposed to do. And it doesn't work. It does nothing.

And then StarBrat makes his magical appearance. And in that moment, your enemy seems to have more control/knowledge over that device than anyone else. You know it's not working. Totally understandable Shepard being hesitant again. Shepard has to trust at some point that her enemy is telling the truth at least in regards of what going to the left, going to the middle, or going to the right will do. 

The ending is a craphole so deep that you can't get out of without metagaming. I embrace metagaming and my Shepard gets rid of the Reapers once and for all.

Control is still better to me. Many more lives are saved compared to destroy. The people on the Citadel live. Dead reapers aren't falling over and crushing people. Also, the mass relays are repaired faster with the reaper help.

I will always pick destroy no matter what the consequences are.

[Jonathan Shepard]

EDI wasn't afraid to die. Legion was not afraid to die. Those machine's were the bravest of all the races in the galaxy. My Shepard will make certain AI's are permitted to become respected members of galactic society as we rebuild. We will rebuild the Geth. We will rebuild civilizations. But we will never rebuild the Reapers.

Dead Reapers is how we win this.
(Though, I like Control too. If Shep's narration and the music weren't so creepy, I might actually prefer it. It's just under Destroy in preference now. I still hate Synthe-Surrender.)

[RiouHotaru]

If Destroy could save the Geth and EDI there'd have to be some equivalent consequence for picking it, or it'd be the best option.

It is already the one most people pick... there was a poll a few days ago and over 65% of people pick this ending above the others. Surprisingly 15% went to reject and Contorl andSynthesis both shared the third place with equal numbers.


Also, the saving of the Geth and EDI is only an issue or penalty for those who consider synthetics to be lifeforms.

That quote comes from ignoring the paragon interrupt when Kolyat is holding Joram Talid hostage, then choosing the renegade option to shoot Talid yourself.

For the record, it's not what I do.
