I've heard many people complain about having to kill the geth and EDI to destroy the Reapers. So let's propose an alternate. At 3100 EMS, the beam can be focused to destroy only the Reapers. However, this also destroys Shepard's implants and makes another Lazarus impossible. Shepard is gone for good. Or he can choose the more generalized wave, which he will survive. If the player chooses survival, both the death of synthetics and the reunion with the crew is shown.

Yes, I'm asking players to choose between their life and synthetics.

[halbert986]

Never had a problem with sacrificing myself. Came to expect it actually.

[Taboo]

Yes. All life takes precedence, as does their freedom. I'd kill Shepard in that case.

However this can be worked around with the Geth being Destroyed over Rannoch if you can't make peace.

What if you could save yourself in Synthesis if it only affected humans?

[GreyLycanTrope]

I'd be perfectly satisfied with Shepard dying in this case. The destroy option I mean, not fond of synthesis.

I agree that would be an interesting social experiment. Especially if you include some LI reunion scenes in with the Shepard survives ending.

[Comsky159]

If this was possible destroy would most likely move to my no. 1. Or I'd at least allow it more in depth consideration.

That would've been my canon choice instead of Control.

[clennon8]

Yep, I'd take that option for most of my Sheps. No-brainer. Only my **** Sheps that already killed the geth and discouraged EDI's growth and relationship with Joker would take the more self-serving choice.

[tyrvas]

I will always pick destroy, high, low or no EMS at all.

Shepard dying is fine, but what is with this incessant notion of something terrible being mandatory at the point of victory. There's no basis for it.

[MattFini]

My problem was never, EVER that Shepard dies at the end of Mass Effect 3.

My problem is that Shepard doesn't die on his own terms. When I beat DA:O, I actually chose to sacrifice my warden and I still felt awesome afterwards - it was my choice to make, after all (and I could've obtained victory another way - also on my terms).

But the ME3's climax is just so absurd that I chose destroy because the other choices keep the damn reapers around - and because I like living in that scenario. Because it feels like the only way to spite the stupid StarChild and his junk conditions.

Destroy would actually vie with Paragon Control for my top pick then.

The self-sacrificing version naturally. Not the genocidal one.

[themikefest]

it doesn't bother me about the geth being killed off the quarians will always build more geth its in their nature

[Chaotic-Fusion]

Absolutely. The fate of an entire race takes precedence over the fate of an individual.

I never had a problem with Shepard dying at the end of the game.

I really hope they add this option though DLC, the reason for destroy killing the geth is incredibly contrived.

[LilLino]

Bioware went for Geth&Edi to make it a harder choice. Most people would sacrifice Shep I think, myself included.

Besides it'd be copy paste Self-Destruct from Deus Ex Human Revolution. Like they didn't copy DE enough.

[WastedHeart]

I'd definitely go for the Shepard dying destroy option to save synthetics if it were real. But then my reasons for chosing destroy have nothing to do with Shep living anyway. I just think it's the least crap option out of a really bad, morally questionable bunch because it kills the Reapers and leaves the galaxy (what's left of it anyway) free to make their own future for the first time in millions of years. Also, it is what everyone was fighting for.

Having said all of that though, I have to admit I am, in general, getting a bit sick of playing through games where the hero just has to die at the end for some convoluted reason. It's been done to death (pun intended).

I'd go for the sacrifice. I still do not like forced sacrifice, but at least this way Shepard does not murder her own allies for personal safety, become a galactic despot or take the easy way out and shirk all responsibility while committing an unforgivable war crime on all life in the galaxy.

I'll take it...

I love Disney  endings and all rainbows and ponies... as some peopel have claimed...

so... Shepard's life in exchange for keeping EDI and the Geth alive?

that is a no brainer, of course I'll go with sacrifice.

Shepard would die on all my Destroy files.

[AresKeith]

I'd still pick Destroy, because I still don't trust the other two

[krukow]

People would still complain. It's an interesting choice (peace out synthetics, Ash gets a happy ending), but it makes no sense. The beam no longer hurts synthetics, but it wipes out Shep's synthetics? Huh...?

That makes more sense than what we got actually, considering Control only targets reapers, and Shep does walk into the big explosion like an idiot.

If I wanted the self-sacrificial Space Jesus ending, I'd have picked Paragon Control.

I choose life.

Change "geth and EDI" to "quarians and turians". Do you still feel the same way?

Nothing about the ending makes any damn sense to begin with. It's a fairytale.
You could reveal that the Crucible effect is being spread by pink unicorns and it preserves or destroys based on who is naughty and who is nice and it wouldn't make a difference.
