I've been reading a few of the polls, and it seems that Control is almost always the least popular ending choice even though it is obviously the best, why is that? I know that everyone wants the Reapers dead after all they've done, but with Shepard in control, couldn't Shepard just destroy fly them all into the sun without murderizing all of Shepard's synthetic friends? In addition to that, Shepard could have them rebuild the Mass Relays and everything else they destroyed, as seen in EC, and recycle all their Element Zero before sending them to their graves.
Also, aside from the fate of the Synthetics, Control provides the best future for Shepard himself. Instead of dying of thirst under a pile of rocks or simply ceasing to be like in Synthesis, Shepard gets to be a god.
So now that we know that Indoctrination theory is a hoax, is the reason noone picked it because they don't want to admit that the so called "Cerberus Fanboys" were right all along? I know that a lot of people hate Cerberus Fans for being so open minded and pragmatic, but can't you just let go of your hate to save Edi and the Geth?
Why is Control So Unpopular?

I liked the EC sequence of Control. So there's that.
It's a pretty long-term commitment, assuming that this AI Shepard poser that takes your place will keep the Reapers in check until the end of time.
It's not that Cerberus was right -- it's that everybody was right. Sure, Reaper control is a possibility. But like Shep said, 'if we destroy the Reapers this ends today. If you can't control them...."

I thought your favourite ending was death by Morinth.

Probably because a lot of people don't think it's the best - from my point of view (Destroyer) it's far, far safer if the Reapers aren't around any more. I simply don't trust Control. The EC Control endings make me trust it even less, that's no longer Shepard in control in Control.

Why? I have no idea its in my eyes one of if not the saddest but noble in a sense ending for Full paragon Shepard.
Different strokes I guess.

Because Shepard dies completely and you have to hope that the AI based on Shepard doesn't go crazy? Yeah, uhm, no. I'll pass and go right to Destroy since that, you know, kills the Reapers.

For many people, it's because Control is contaminated by icky Cerberus and Illusive Man.

Although I can understand people being wary of potential reprecutions from choosing it.BulletproofKevin wrote...
I completely agree with you.
Also, my main motivation is that I can't sacrafice the Geth and EDI if there's potentially another way, that's usually how I played the game.

All of the choices are as Paragon or Renegade as you want them to be.
All are tainted by one thing or another.

no, the primary advantages of Synthesis are that the Relays can be easily destroyed and the Geth can be saved, and the primary advantage of Destroy is that the Reapers can be gone for good. Control gives you the best of both, and that's a fact.Tealjaker94 wrote...

Doesn't help that you try for the previous 5 minutes in convincing TIM that it is a horrible idea.

I liked control, heavy risk...but the prize.
Also, I was against the illusive man getting control of the reapers because of what he'd do with them, I.E. kill everyone but the humans and rule them with an iron tenticle.
My paragon shepard uses the powers only when needed and never without consent.

Control doesn't allow you to destroy the Reapers. Whether paragon or renegade, Shepard will use the Reapers as the galaxy police. Plus Shepard lives in destroy.bobobo878 wrote...

I think most people don't like it because it's introduced just after you've had this big argument with TIM about why Control is a bad idea. That said, we didn't know it was possible, it's possibly the least harmful to the galaxy in retrospect, and TIM's dead by the time you get to use it, so no one's going to be standing behind you saying "I told you so" if you pick it.
