You say they are all immoral choices. That is by your personal standards? Your Shepard personality standards? Terran standards? Prothean standards? Other organic races standards? Synthetic life standards?
I think you personally see these choices has unacceptable and thus decide they are unacceptable for every other players and go as far as judging them all immorals.
No, real life values say they are immoral. With each ending carrying it's own destruction to preservation.
Like Garrus said, personnaly i see nothing immoral in sacrificing 10 billion people to save 1 million. Some people would certainly object to that and some would even prefer having everyone die just so they do not have to choose who lives and who dies.
I wonder what he'd say once he realizes you let the Reapers live and they are going to be here to stay. Don't forget his whole 10 million lost for 1 billion lived was in regards to the Reapers killing people.
Morality is a luxury is some situations. You get to make tough calls and you live with them. I liked Mass Effect serie for that, it brings great dilemmas and things rarely ends being perfect and all clean.
That's just a lie. Sure there was times like Virmire or Shepard's death in ME2. Even Sovereign attack on Citadel and choosing between alliance and council.
But at the end of the day, you come out clean. And so did mostly everyone else. In ME2 I survived a suicide mission with my entire 12 squad and not one crew member died. You might have chosen to play it with more sacrifice so I understand the points you're trying to make if you did.
But not me.
The way i am reading you i can see that you identify alot with your character, your Shepard. It sounds like you did only one play ro that every play you did you were making the same choices.
I did multiple replays and had no problem endorsing and acting has an uncompromising and rude Shepard or a Paragon or a mix of the two... In one replay, i had great fun betraying the Krogan, shotting Mordin in the back and etc... No remorse whatsoever because i wanted my character to be like that.
When it comes to the end, depending of which Shepard i am playing and depending of the personality i gave him, there are choices at the Crucible that makes lot of sense for him to make and to never look back. I tried every choices and they all made sense depending on how my Shepard was seeing things.
One of my Shepard did not give **** about the Geth, Synthetics, Reapers and AI. He decided to destroy the Reapers and never looked back. History will judge him for that. Was he a moral person or not?
Real life values are not a thing set in stone. They vary from an era to another, from a species to another... Heck from a person to another...
You said your Shepard could come out clean all the time during your gameplay. Well, mine never never did. None of them, even the most Paragon one had a stain.
