i picked des. because its the best if in control 50 years down the road AI shep goes rampant we're all ****ed, synthesis is repulsive on almost every level and Refuse is one where the reapers harvest our galaxy. Only with meta game thinking (aka knowing the next cycle beats em) is the only way to justify it. So no, destroy these bastards and try to reactivate Edi and the Geth later

I pick destroy because its the lesser of the three evils

How?

because, unlike the other 2 endings, you dont have gigantic robots with organic goo inside them looking over your shoulder everywhere you go, and people can actually move on and evolve technologically at their own pace instead of being on the Reaper advancement plan

So the whole genocide part of it is alright then?

Genocide is never alright, but he had to choose between the geth or an entire galaxy.  It would probably haunt him for the rest of his life, but destroy is what he set out to do, and that's what he's going to do

[wright1978]

Nope i pick destroy because it is the best ending. Reapers dead and galaxy can develop freely. Shep living is just the cherry on top of the cake.

It's not genocide if you're not doing it for the purpose of killing the geth. I've had to explain this numerous times. Putting that aside I'm not going to screw over the entire galaxy for a single species.

Exactly

Might sound cruel, but even if they can't be re-activated later, the geth, and EDI were willing to lay down thir lives to end the threat, it's what they were fighting for

[G Kevin]

Not going to lie, I promised to build Tali a home and be with her so I was highly inclined to pick Destroy.

So I guess Destroy had a high appeal to me. However, I think the big deciding factor was that it was essentially the ending I wanted minus the Geth and EDI. Fortunately, there is always head canon if I actually wanted the Geth and EDI back.

[D24O]

My ME universe split into 4 multiverses, one for each choice. Although Control and Destroy goe the most headcanon from me.

[tholloway93]

i pick it for that, but if i look at what seems to have the best immediate effect, i pick control (haters gonna hate)

[Masha Potato]

i picked destroy once on my ****** paragon and after reading the forums i can safely say i'll never do it again
becuase of House

Nope, I picked it because I want the Reaper dead, I hate sexbot EDI and I never liked the Geth. It's a win situation for me with no consequence.

This. I never felt anything but mild contempt for the Geth. Killing them where milk to my victory-cookie.

Doesn't Shepard live when he decides to refuse?

I think forcibly combining the entire Galaxy's DNA with reapers to pretty much destroy any and all genetic diversity, then indoctrinating said galaxy (I'm fairly sure about half the Galaxy would take serious offense to messing with their DNA without Consent) is a fate much worse than losing a species who said they'd rather die than have reaper tech forcibly installed on them. and to further point out, if you choose Synthesis then Mordin Solus' death was for exactly nothing, as synthesis would have cured the Genophage. So that's a fair trade for EDI in Destroy.


You only have to hear the first 30 seconds of the extended control cut to know how much of a bad idea you made:

"Only now do I understand the full extent of HIS sacrifice"
"Through HIS death, I was created"
"Through MY birth, HIS thoughts were freed"
"They guide ME now"
"There is power in control, there is wisdom in harnassing the strengths of you enemy". (That can work both ways don't you think? If Starchild harnasses the strengths of Shepard? This way the reapers still get what they want, which is galactic control. Except now they have Space Jesus as a faceman to make everyone feel at ease about it.)

So you pretty much just turned Shepard/Starchild into some kind of benevilent dictator, open to all sorts of bad comprehension of protecting the "many", in similar fashion to what made starchild make the reapers in the first place. Also by picking this ending you not only endorse EVERYTHING TIM tried to accomplish and his methods, but also perform "Genocide" by destroying all sentient reaper's. If Shepard/Starchild exerts direct control over the reapers, then Harbinger and other Reapers are all killed off or enslaved. So it becomes the ethics question on the Heretic Geth base in ME2 all over again. Are you willing to enslave/kill off your entire enemy for victory?

So once again that leaves Destroy. If any more Mass Effect media is going to made and is set in a post Shepard timeline logic would suggest the cannon ending would have to be destroy. If they make Synthesis the cannon ending, there would be no more conflict according to that ending narration, if there is then well Starchild lied and we now start questioning the end of ME3 all over again. If they pick control, once the plot gets to the point where the antagonists can threaten anything of value in the galaxy, here comes the Shepard Space Protector Reapers™ to save the day. Now you get to into a sticky situation where you have to give the antogonists some ability to sucessfully fight off Shepard Reapers to advance the plot, in which now everyone will once again question the ending of ME3 to begin with as there is indeed some non-catalyst way to placate/defeat reapers.

When I picked Destroy the first time I was convinced Shepard would die. That he lives is just a reward to intelligence.

How do you figure he lives?

The only reason I picked Destroy was because my Shepard didn' succomb to indoctrination. I sure as he'll wasn't getting brainwashed like TIM into thinking a lone man could control the billions of reaper programs nor was I going to practice what Saren preached. Suiciding yourself to complete the reapers social studies homework wasn't how I was going out. I'm there to destroy the bastards. Not get sweet talked into doing their job for them.

Shepard ends in the Catalyst Chamber regardless of which ending you pick. As far as Shepard is concened you get nothing more out of Destroy than you do from Control or Synthesis. In all 3 Shepard dies for all practical intents and purposes.

[Ticonderoga117]

I picked destroy cause it's the only choice that does what we've been gunning for since ME1:
STOPPING THE REAPERS.

That's it. Synthesis is a defeat, Control is too risky, Refuse is broken, leaving Destroy.

[What a Succulent Ass]

Mine died, so I honestly couldn't give a ****. I fail to see how that's even a draw, considering the payoff is a nebulous few-seconds-long scene.

destroy that is the goal from the beginning

[Uncle Jo]

Nope.

Picked destroy to build our own future. Without those abominations. Shep's fate is irrelevant.

Still it´s pissing me off that building of own future means to destroy future of someone else ... but YES it was theme of Mass Effect - both refuse and destroy are what we need

For a few minutes, hours... maybe days.

[Shadowvalker]

Destroy is the only ending that kills the reapers which was the order Shephard was given!

Control: Hmm. Don't like it - if "you" can overwrite the reaper code someone else can too.....! No good!

Wedding: Synthesis! No no no - reapers still alive! I would court martial my self if I could!

[Nightwriter]

Yes, thank you BioWare, for your oh-so-fricking-magical decision to make me kill EDI and the geth if I want to maybe-live. Can't have me walking away from the ending with a smile on my face, can we. No. Oh no. That would be too positive. What would the grimdark-loving pseudo-realists say? Perish the thought.

Hiss. Rawr. Bitter grumble.
