but back to topic...i have stated this a few times...but i think Mass effect got a whole lot deeper with the ending....it just flew right above peoples heads...because the morals were a little bit more complicated than the usual Hollywood BS.
<sigh> Really?

Rofl. The trouble is it's trying to be deep, but it doesn't succeed.
Especially when you realize that control and sythesis do not even solve the problem, since synthetics can still be made and since time is infinate, they would wipe out all organics in the galaxy eventually.
read more...assume less...but i am done showing people whats actually in the game...use your brain...you will find the answers.
What do you mean? Nothing in synthesis says that new synthetics cannot be made, unless you can quote Harbinger/Starchild?
Of course new pure Synthetics could be made...but to achive what goal...?
Synthesis means that Organics are now able to evolve like Synthetics...
and Synthetics are now able to understand the value of induviduality...
There is no powergap between Synthetics Organics anymore. Both forms of life can now live as equals.
The difference in between Organics and Synthetics has been eradictated...so it is not the source of new conflict.
So new Conlict would not arise because of a evolutional powergap / understanding of life.
Possiblity 1:
Say it starts with me wanting a piece of toast. I make a toaster.
Then i need an information giver, like avina. So I make a VI.
Then I want an AI to run the ship instead of forcing a synthetic with free will to do it, as this would be immoral. This AI takes over the ship and kills everyone inside. It begins to develop a strong computer virus that can now affect the organic and synthetic mixes.
This virus causes all of this organic/synthetic tech to not function properly and, since we have grown used to the bonuses this provides, its much harder to lead our lives. And so we are weaker, and open to attack. This virus also causes the reapers to hate organics, and attack them with hatred being there motive.
Boom, no organics.
Possiblity 2:
I must remind you that synthesis makes everyone equals, but that does not stop war at all. In the same way that the English and the French we both humans, but they still fought each other.
Equality does not mean no war by any means. The wars would eventually kill so many people that VIs were made to fight. Just like the geth, they gain self-awareness. They kill their masters, since they are new and not affected by the synthesis magic.
They grow in strength, and build more and more of them. They wipe organic life eventually.
Boom, no organics.
Possiblity 3:
Synthetics come from another galaxy, which they have taken over, and are vastly more powerful than the organics and synthetics in the Milky Way. They attack.
Boom, no organics.
So, you see, since time is infinate, one of these things would eventually happen, and so alll options result in the same thing eventually
