Well the other anti IT thread got locked down, and now the no this and no that thread got locked down. I guess this day is a lock down day, and oh me we are ever getting closer to 2000 get ready for Mark 4 people.

Just had a silly though... 

Reapers leave certain technology behind ( Citadel, Mass Relays, ... ) so the new species use it as a base for their own and "follow the path the Reapers desire".

Control is presented as if Shepard will be able to "use" the Reapers as she sees fit.
Reapers are synthetics, so they can be considered "technology".

So with Control we keep using "Reapers technology", meaning we are still following the path they desire...


"Just talking out loud", don't mind me....




 

You're absolutely right. The Control and synthesis endings completly fly in the face of what both Legion and Mordin said in ME2 - that handing technology down to a culture before it is ready is unhealthy. It stunts that culture's development by putting it on "the quick and easy path" to power, to quote Yoda for a minute.

Regardless of the explosion, if you choose destroy why would Shepard be alive if she had synthetic bits inside her based on reaper technology?

Speaking of high EMS destroy, am I imagining things, or do the lights on the Alliance Spaceships that pass the ruins of the Charon Relay seem to flicker and dim before brightening again? As though the ship's systems are having a bit of glitch.

Perhaps this is to indicate that all technology, even non reaper technology, has taken a bit of a knock from the destroy EMP. If so it makes Shepard's survival in a literal scenario unlikely, even if his implants aren't reaper tech.

Plus where are those ships supposed to be going? It's still going to take them months to get anywhere without the relays working, assuming they can even find somewhere to refuel.

Yes, you can especially see it on the Asari Cruiser at the beginning of that scene.

To be fair, it was not an anti-IT thread, it was just a poster genuinely wanting to know more about the theory. Of course it would've been way more reasonable to just ask the questions in this thread, because this thread has already immunity against the troll hordes (bloodily earned during the Morning Troll Wars in Mark I and II). Maybe the original poster was afraid to post here, since the reputation of the people here is... not the best, sadly.
Yet the literalists, haters and anti-enders swarmed the thread and turned it into an anti-IT thread.

If the creator of that thread is reading this, hi there, feel welcome.

First of all, Reapers are synthetic organic hybrids...

That's like saying you're meat...

It's racist...

This thread really throws off my perception of the BSN. Its generally so nice in here, I always wonder why people say the BSN sucks, then I go out into other threads, and I'm like "Oh, right. Thats why."

I'm LOVING Bioware now. I didn't even notice this!

HA! Synthesis being their favorite ending, my ass.

To be fair, my favorite ending of Mass Effect 2 is the one where everyone dies on the suicide mission...

Nice to know I'm not imagining things. Kind of sucks for the Quarians if the emp put all technology on the fritz, seeing as how dependent they are on their suits.

Check this link out. It's not direct, because I want you to see the thumbnail (of the first video). While watching that I was laughing my @ss off, not only because that Shepard looks like a bowling ball
Ah... good times. I think I'll rewatch it now.

Back before the EC, I was leaning towards the Waking Nightmare "Shep's on the Citadel, but the brat is lying about the choices" interpretation.

I wondered if the reason the brat was apparently happy to mention the possibility of destroy, when presumably it would undo all his work over the eons, was because he knew the Reapers would actually survive it. 

They, like Shepard, are hybrids of synthetic technology and organic tissue. The destroy wave, while moderately damaging to them, would in the long run serve their goals by eliminating their purely synthetic enemies like the Geth. I thought a possible continuation of the story could have the Reapers "rebooting", one by one, a short time after the blast as their organic cores restarted their synthetic parts. 

Shepard would then have to race to finish them off before they regained their full strength, but having to face doing so with damaged technology, and the loss of Edi and the Geth.

Then the EC came out with its weird Normandy pickup and equally weird Synthesis epilogue and I wasn't sure what to think.

Well, I am meat... I'm sure a wolf or any other hungry pedrator won't mind much "who" I was if I can fill his stomach.


But if you want me to be more acurate:

Reapers are synthetic life forms fueled by the DNA of the species used for their creation.

I'm an organic life form made of meat fueled by other organic life forms like fish, cows, pigs, tomatoes, apples and oranges...

There are many songs where you can find references to ME. That doesnt prove the ending to be a hallucination.

I cannot see why posting random lyrics here has anything to do with the thread and should be deleted.
If not as much posts were needless in the first place maybe some others would get the response they deserve and would make reposting everything every x-hundred pages unnecessary. Let's admit it about 1000 pages here are total waste, including this post, and at least another 1500 is just the old stuff again.

That wasn't the point, I'm sure.  Just that they were strangely apt.

Bioware put enough proof in the actual game.

Yknow, I'm bored and replaying ME3. Why do we never use the turret the shuttle has before the mission to rescue Koris, and never use it again afterwards? You'd think it'd be helpful.

Ironically, the same could be said about posts like this.  They are posting lyrics to songs that remind them of the themes.  Nothing wrong with that, so stop being a sourpuss.

EDI: Incorrect. Reapers are sapients constructs. A hybrid of organic and inorganic material.
