Yes, and that could happen. What I'm saying is DLC could more obviously show the kid is warped and that the destroy and maybe control choices are really not his, but were created by the Leviathan or someone else in order to stop the kid. Each new thing discovered might show him to be trying to keep his choice intact or make it seem desirable. Control would just be the status quo with the catalyst replaced, but again might be less desired due to further DLC. With the crucible in pristine condition (complete, intact, not damaged), it might be possible to get the complete "best" destroy that would not damage anything but reapers (destroys them)-their destruction might damage things nearby.
I imagine it playing out that the kid could even become more nasty, trying to intimidate or maybe he starts to dissemble. But it could become clear that destroy would work and maybe the last AI you talk to could be one of his creators in a reaper who says that Destroy would give them peace at last and right their wrong, getting rid of the kid and the reapers. Shepard could live or die based on choices and other decisions, but wouldn't fall through space or be some headless torso gasping who knows where.
I like the idea of him disassembling or changing.in some way, but I wouldn't like to see any sort of "emotional" response from the catalyst like anger etc. I would prefer the veneer of it being a cold, synthetic being to be maintained. Get rid of the Kid VI and get the art department on IT to maybe give the Catalyst another form. possibly a giant holograph of its true creators as Shepard uses logic and his intelligence to tear it apart. Like disassembling some faulty code to fix an error
With regards Leviathan. I would hope that it would shed some light on the orignal programmers of Catalyst and the designers of the crucible. Both must have been created by the same species for it to make any sense. The only alternative is the Catalyst designed the Crucible and therefore its a trap of his devising.
Using a bit of a crative brainfart I can easily see the original races. A race of organics who were hyper intelligent, but arrogant like the Protheans. They were slavers who first uplifted Organics as servants to their will, but faced rebellion after rebellion as the organics wanted to excercise their freewill.
The creators then turned to synthetics with the belief that they were more controllable and adaptable than organics. The creators became reliant on them and then began to incorporate tech into their beings themselves. They considerd themselves the Ultimate form of Organic life, their servants had became the ultimate in synthetic life. The combination of the two became the ultimate form of life.
In the eyes of a zealot at least. possibly the programmer had an almost fanatical belief in that area and built these assumptions into the program that crated the Catalyst logic. The fear of rebellion and chaos, the comtempt of other organic life forms and the aspiration for a perceived perfection of some cyber-hybrid
There's a cliche "A bad workman always blames his tools for his failure" this could be elaborated on if Leviathan is a creator. Would he accept the responsibility if he was. Can Bioware build on the irony of the catalyst's solution with regards his species? Why has it not intervened in the downtime between cycles when the reapers are vulnerable?
So many questions could be applied, but they should only be applied to try and provide a more correct challenge and a possible victory against the villain of the piece, Leviathan (if its a creator) and a core logic fix to a faulty system
