Just replayed the final stages of leaviathan DLC. Lot's of new thoughts.
Qutes from the leviathan:
The AI was created with a sinlge purpuse - "Preservation of life at any cost" Not to find a solution to a problem, or anything - but for this single directive. Everything that follows - is just a tool to do so.
"We will fight. But not for you, or any other lesser race. We were once an apex race. It is time for the reapers to pay their tribute to that" - I have a really bad feeling about this.
"What do you know about the crucible? - We have watched it being constructed during countless cicles. It has never been finished yet. It's outcome is unknown.".
Now, with the leviathan the only possible way for the ending to work - is to be an indoctrination attempt which shepard breaks off with choosing high EMS destroy. Because if the endings are literal and actually happen - now there is now win scenario. Every sinlge choice results in the galaxy under control of one superior malavelent force.
Now, simple destruction of all reapers is not yet a victory.
To achieve victory we must now get rid of the reapers AND the leviathans - they are a part of the same problem - galaxy being under influence of the superior meddling force, that bears malice to all leaving creatures. The leviathan clearly shows, that the ending to mass effect as it stands now does not resolve anything, and that the reapers aren't the whole problem. So when shepard wakes up, he's still yet to find a way to kill ALL the reapers AND All the leviathans at the same time.
Right now, given all the facts, control would be the best option, and I do think that the core of the Illusive Man's reasoning is sound. Unfortunatly - we have 3 games proving us that control of the reapers is impossible, it just can't be done. It is a great concept, and a nice dream, but it isn't possible to achieve. (at least not in that decision chamber for sure).
Destroy now doesn't work, cause, you know, reapers aren't the whole problem. Reapers aren't at war with you. They just harvest. They can't be at war with you. They are just doing what they are supposed to do. And it is already horrible beyound any comprehension. Now, the Leviathans CAN be at war with you. And most likely will be the first chance they'll get (it is their logic after all that if something can happen - it will inevitably happen). - and we don't want that. (if you have any doubts about it - replay the leviathan again - a pay attention to how the leviathan treats it's thralls - read the journals of the crew of the wrecked ship - it is all there) - they are twisted, and evil. And if there were one race of creatures the galaxy would be better off without - it would be them. For all we know, reapers could be doing us all a HUGE favour by keeping them in hiding. Far all you know, reapers might have been born as a result of ALL LESSER RACES UNITING TO DESTROY THEM AT ANY COST.
We don't know. And If I was Shepard - I wouldn't want to ever find that out
Synthesis doesn't fix anything. What does it do? It destroys all organic life everywhere. But reapers are still around. AND Leviathans are also still around. So what that they have some robotic parts? Does in makes them less arrogant? Or less meddling? Or less of an apex spiecies, who persive everything esle in the galaxy as a tool? No. They just now have built-in bluetooth. with which the can directly control everything else, given the fact that everything now has built-in bluetooth.
Refuse still doesn't do anything at all.
Some interesting things to think about for sure. Not really a winning option there... literally.

that o ver the top response means it doesn't do squat besides extending lore and plotholes. Thanks though.
