It was my mission since day 1(Mass Effect). Turning my back away from it and on the enemies I fought(Saren Arterius and Jack Harper) will make me just as a lesser man as they are.

To answer your question: No, the first time I finished it, I had no idea Shepard would live through it.

[MonkeySeeker]

I chose it twice out of 4 playthroughs. The first time was pre-EC and I already knew Shepard wasn't going to live. The second time was post-EC and I just wanted to see it for myself. He did live that time apparently, though I still can't see him lasting too long even if he does.

So no it had no influence on my decisions. I actually prefer control. I have no problem with Shepard dying.

I picked it the first time without knowing. Then I came here to make sure I hadn't done something wrong.

I picked Destroy the first (and last) time I played. I didn't know that Shepard could survive.

I chose Destroy because there is no redemption for the genocide the Reapers are responsable for!
The scale is beyond our imagination
even as a 97% paragon that I am, I say: "unforgivable !:"

So you in turn commit genocide on another race to satisfy your need for vengeance?   

You killed everyone...

I saved countless generations actually. :innocent:

With genocide, you mean the Reapers ?
I think it's clear they're beyond negociating with...
Also, a Reaper is nothing but a perversion of life of the races they once harvested. Twisted into serving the very bane of their existance. The Reapers themself have no culture, no compassion or anything.
Their only function is to harvest or destroy other civilizations.
Yes, i'd sleep well, if I whiped them off the face of the universe.

As for EDI and the Geth.
You're right, that would make me sad...more than my cold reasoning above would suggest.

The Control and Synthesis choices are just not an otion for me.
I won't change every living thing in this universe just because I would think it's best for them
As for Control....I don't buy it. The Star Kid created the Reapers out of the best intentions. (i.e. Protecting everybody)
What if Star Shepard get's it in his mind to "protect" everybody from THEMSELVES and starts the cycles all over again. ?

 

I agree with you on control. There's just to many ways it could go wrong. This is also the reason I did not pick destroy, its more than likely going to go wrong at some point. Future generations will create AIs and conflict is inevitable. Same reason I did not pick refuse. The only way for organics to survive is to embrace change and evolve.

*Raises hand*

While the loss of EDI and the Geth was regrettable, this was the only ending that sat well with me. Control wasn't in line with my Shep's thinking and the whole premise of Synthesis is just absurd to say the least.

I agree.  It might sound cruel, but the Geth and EDI, who were all willing to lay down their lives to stop the reaper threat, are a small price to pay so trillions of other people can live without the threat of the reapers looming over them

[LordMollecht]

I also go with destroy, Shepard must live. EDI and the Geth can be rebuilt. We have the technology. We have the capability to make them better than they were before. Better...stronger...faster. It will cost around 6 million credits.

[7Nemesis]

I DID! I picked Destroy pre and post-EC and I stand by my choice. It's pretty much the only ending I'll ever pick for my story.

I pick destroy for three reasons. 1.) I don't want a GodChild determining my fate for me. That's not his place to decide. No one has that right. Especially an A.I. 2.) I wanted to see if Shepard actually got up. And 3.) The Reapers and that stupid kid destroyed many civilizations. They deserved to be killed off.

Agreed 100% Plus, I'm sure the Quarian's could rebulid the Geth if they wanted too as they cycle was broken the second Shepard ended the war and brokered peace. 

As was stated in Mass Effect 1, the Reapers must be stopped at any cost. By not destroying them, they win. Don't let the Starchild fool you.

Exactly!! Besides the Geth were never really violent in the first place. In 300 years, the Geth really didn't do any harm to the Quarians, well the real Geth anyway. They just defended themselves after the Quarians attack. The GodChild was wrong in so many ways. Im sure if we actually sat back and listened we would find a ton of contradictions than what we already found. And you're so right. Shepard's mission has been to destroy the Reapers since day one, and thats what Shepard was going to in my playthroughs.

[EvoSigma]

Honestly, I just did it for Tali after her final lines in the EC goodbye scene..... Shepard needed to come back

[hoodaticus]

If I viewed all four choices as equally likely to defeat the Reapers and save the galaxy, then it would have boiled down to whether I value my life more than synthetics (I don't - synthetic life is life, but not of such worth as I should sacrifice my life for theirs). I don't reach that point though, because only Destroy gets rid of the Reapers and therefore only Destroy would mean victory.

I choose Destroy because I want to win the game.

[Auztin]

That was my mission."Sacrifices were made".Now I sound like a ****.

[DPSSOC]

Nope. I picked Destroy fully expecting to die and in my first playthrough I did.

[sonicphoto]

The fact that they make you kill off the geth and EDI was poor writting, I mean if you were going to have an option that could wipe out an entire race, then avoid the whole Rannoch peace thing, if you are going to make it go to waste later. And yes it goes to waste in the other endings because the reapers are still alive, and would do whatever they please. If a reaper betrayed the reapers, like the supposed Leviathan, who's to say the reapers won't do it again with the other life forms when they are half synthetics, or Shepard is no longer in control. Saren shows us that Synthesis was not possible, the reapers would not give a chance to anyone, and the Illusive Man just wanted power, a power that nobody will be able to control forever, Shepard is no god and he would only be one reaper against a ton of others that could betray him.

[EnvyTB075]

Shepard already died once, shes not dying for some contrived attempt at a "heroic sacrifice" trope.

Oh, that and destroy is the only one that makes any logical sense.

[Maples01]

I go with my statement from early, it gives reason over it:
The part I detest, Damien, or the brat who is the answer to chaos, he, and the reapers were once a creation like the geth, they evidently evolved, and decided that since humans and machines couldn't co-exist, they'd just cull the heard every 50,000 years, call it taking them to a higher plane of existence, wipe out all signs they existed to ready for the next cycle. Basically, the strong, being the machine/reapers survive, to keep feeding off the weak, this is why I believe there is no other answer but to destroy them.

[Bill Casey]

[CptSketch13]

Nope, the whole objective was to destroy the reapers from the beginning. I feel no remorse for the geth since the one i knew legion was deleted* and as for edi she said herself she would sacrifice herself to save the crew and thats exactly what happened

[thehomeworld]

Totally I did what I came to do and both the geth and EDI state they would die or risk non functionality for so and so they just lived up to their end of the that statement. This decision is the best sense wise.

Control is too creepy how long will the reapers stay in Shep's mindset? He's not alive any longer and can't guarantee they won't take a necessary evil approach to things like kill all the Krogan because they decided to have a second rebellion while shep himself would try things first to stop it w/o killing alot of them reaper shep may just run the numbers and say in the name of galactic safety you all must die. Not to mention star kid was doing this option the entire time and look how well that worked?

And synthesis is stupid its the reapers win ending no matter how nice they try to paint it. This also goes agains the entire sereies under current theme of choice you denied everyone a choice and made them into frankinsteins creations.

And snub while it allowed everyone to go out with a bang you're all still dead so...I don't count this one as good but it was good to do the we'll never surrender bit and deny them any thralls or reapers from this cycle.

Yeah. In the end I picked it as Canon because it was the least horrible of atrocious "solutions". But yes, Shepard living there did help too. It sweetened the overall bitter experience a bit.

I just normally heacanon it a bit.

I imagine the Crucible docks and activates during the final conversation with Anderson. The relays are destroyed transmitting the energy around the galaxy, but the Reapers and their armies are destroyed. Civilization has won, but at colossal loss.

I don't like any of the four real endings, but if I had to choose between them I'd go for control because it had the most satisfying cutscene of them imo.
