If that was the issue, I think I would give destroy much more consideration than I do now.

but I will still choose control :) Loyalty to the choice, you know.

No. I wouldn't even give the life of any of my squadmates to save the geth.

I can't see those little symbols very well; they're pointing hands, right?

Yup.

If the choice was between a Destroy ending where Shepard lives but the Geth and EDI die, and a Destroy ending where EDI and the Geth survive?

My Shepard would sacrifice himself.


Ditto

but ten again I am supposed to be looking for a Disney kind of ending...

funny how the same people who threw that slogan now have the most Disney ending, if you simply ignore the moral monstrosity it is.

Technically Shepard is going into destroy being fully sure he is about to die, cause the Catalyst tells him his implants are going to go toast and he is half dead from the injuries by that point.

Personally, no, as much as I like EDI, she is not worth throwing away everything Shepard did to get rid of theReapers. The Geth I don't care about.

If that was an option I would choose it in a heartbeat.

Right, sacrifice is only meaningful if it's forced onto you. Just ask artistic writers like Casey Hudson.

If it was actually explained why that worked.


They never explain how any of the colored lights really worked :P

I still don't know how a High EMS makes shep live after:
1. Harbinger beam
2. Marauder Shields *God Rest his soul*
3. the bleeding he endured walking through the Citadel
4. Walking INTO an exploding tube.
5. Whatever size explosion that caused all the rubble he was in.

No way. Geth are so easily swayed on Reaper's side, they're like a timebomb waiting to explode. Even my buddy Legion kept lying to me all the time.

How are they gonna be swayed by the Reapers after you've destroyed all Reapers?

That's an example to show they can't be trusted.

crimzontearz said...No I picked destroy specifically to save Shepard and get a goddamn reunion. if that means killing EDI and the geth so be it.

Considering that the central motivation for destroy is to tragically sacrifice the few to save the many, you completely missed the point of destroy...

Life is made of priorities. MY PRIORITY is to save Shepard and get a reunion. Are you going to argue that your personal tastes are superior to mine or more enlightened?


No, just a different interpretation, I suppose. Each to his/her own.

I have to say I'm quite surprised at how many people would rather save themselves than an entire race.

I just hope they don't think they are Paragons...

Depends on which Shep I was playing. My Paragon Shep, instantly.

Yeah, I can't imagine why anybody would be more attached to their protagonist than the robots that have been attempting to murder them for three straight games. Truly boggles the mind.

I don't care if I'm a Paragon or not after that, but explain, why would I want to sacrifice myself to save a bunch of robots who can be rebuilt anyway?

Well, if you have a truce (else this topic wouldn't apply) then the Geth are your Allies. What they did in the past can be forgiven.

Because killing innocent people is wrong?

And, yes, the Geth could be rebuilt. But they wouldn't be the same people they were. They'd be different people. You'd still have killed millions (billions) of Geth.

My point is that people tend to have more emotional attachment to the character they been playing as, establishing relationships with, etc. than the beings that have basically been bullet fodder.

To give a similar example, I'm sure everyone on this forum would, say, save Garrus over a platoon of nameless turian soldiers if forced to make such a choice. Because they prefer the one character they have a connection to than the many they don't.
