Regardless of what Synthesis does or doesn't do. I do not believe it's right for a single individual to change the life of another without their consent. The Catalyst contradicts this whole idea by saying "it cannot be.. forced"..
Well gee, if Shepard isn't "forcing" it upon the galaxy, then I might have to recheck my definition of force.
All I'm saying, is there'd be a LOT of scarred people from this, and c'mon.. Letting the Reapers live?
If you pick Synthesis, you are a tool.
Then you must have hated when Shepard nuked 300k+ Batarians in Arrival, right? Or every other decision he made throughout the game that had galaxy spanning implications and with which he had no further input from anyone and didn't care if he did or didn't? [Like when he outright tells Hackett it's too late for anyone to change what he did with the Genophage, so it doesn't matter?]
Practically, you change the lives of others without consent CONTINUALLY, both in this game and even in reality. This whole issue is laughable nonsense. Just admit it, you just wanted to nuke the Reapers as an act of vengeance and since you didn't get to BSN gets to enjoy this giant load of petulant, sour grapes horse ****.
If you pick Destroy you prefer mass murder and if you pick Control you are a tyrant loving, statist thug. Being a tool isn't so bad then.
No, you aren't just a tool for what it does, you are a tool because you're accepting to change the fate of the entire galaxy forever, because something told you to in the final minutes. The only choice with any foreshadowing at all is Destroy, control to a lesser extent with TIM but he never made that leap until the final game and we were taught through Shepard's dialogue that control=bad and some little handwave comment like "he couldn't control us because we already controlled him" doesn't persuade me in the slightest. But even in destroy you are still a monster because you're commiting genocide. I've never tried to paint a perfect ending, just illustrate that some carry more consequences than others.
I don't get it. Do you generally stick to choices in life that have foreshadowing? You go into the whole Crucible thing without even a clue of what it does. How many times throughout the game does someone say "..but we still don't know what it does?" is it truly a surprise that it has unexpected functions?
Not at all, in fact, it's 100% unavoidable, it still doesn't mean that said choices have to break the narrative and lore like a twig being trodded on by a stampede.
The only way the crucible could have been any more worthless (thematically), is if it, in fact, didn't destroy the Reapers.
Life has nothing to do with this, it's about story-telling.
