Why do you allow that to happen? Because, quite frankly, my problem can be seen from the platform. Reapers are tearing my fleets apart. SC's ramblings are secondary to my goal. I can't skip the conversation, I'd love to, when I allow myself to get over the contrivance of surviving a cruiser killer laser blast, to shoot the tube, but I don't have any problem with shooting the tube, no matter what my EMS is, because I don't lose sight of the goal, stopping the Reapers. I don't suddenly go all ADHD with it now that I'm at the end, I play along with SC's "famous last words" and then shoot the tube. Problem solved. "but you'll kill the geth, and edi!!! You're guilty of genocide, and should be tried for war crimes!!!" Likely so, but do you honestly believe that, if Shepard survives, a jury of their peers is going to convict them? Did Shepard even broker peace between the Geth and Quarians, and if not, did Shepard choose to save the Geth instead? If no to either these, then EDI dies, and frankly, I find it amusing that EDI gets almost as much hate as the endings, until Destroy comes up, then it's "You're a murderer!!!1111!!!eleven"... All to justify saying that all choices are bad. Frankly, allowing yourself to get to the choices is bad, see my sig. I find complaining about them to be humorous at best.
So let me get this straight, because I don't want to misunderstand you: It is far better to allow everyone to die, than to sacrifice some to save them all? I don't need to metagame to come to this conclusion. The EC was in before I bought ME 3, let alone before I played it, and when I went to Earth, the galaxy map is, as somebody else called it, Reaperville. How am I supposed to believe that, when I pull my entire force to Earth to deploy the Crucible, if they get decimated, which they are, take a look outside the platform, I'm going to have any chance to win w/out it? If this force is decimated, all that's left for the Reapers are pockets of resistance, and harvesting until they complete the cycle. If, as I believe you to mean, it's far better to commit genocide on a galactic scale, instead of sacrificing a few, comparatively, just to preserve your principles, how are you not worse than the Reapers? Because quite frankly, despite all the kool-aid I'd have to drink to believe otherwise, you are doing exactly what the Reapers want; allowing them to complete the harvest and go back to dark space to await the next cycle. The logic of "I'm not going to do what the Reapers want, so I'm going to let them finish what they started" doesn't sit well with me. Garrus has the right of it: Turians are taught from birth that if even one person is left standing at the end of a war, it's worth fighting. Only Humans believe that you can save them all. The funny? Refusal saves none of them, and so goes against everything you've done since ME 1.
The point of my post was the the options given to you are presented by starkid and tie into his problem which takes center stage over yours. You can argue, headcanon, and reason all you want that you have in your mind to still kill the reapers, but it doesn't change the fact that no matter what that option still fits with starkids new solution of organics being destroyed by synthetics.
How does this fit with his logic?
synthetics will destroy all organics
geth are synthetic
geth will destroy all organics
Goal: Preserve organic life as long as possible
killing geth will keep them from killing all organics.
You can say that "the geth don't want to fight" etc and all that but the SC doesn't care. That is his view whether you like it or not. It is kind of beautiful in a warped sort of way.
I think your going a bit too much into headcanon mode personally so I cannot address everything. Do I personally see the death of geth and edi as OK - oh yeah. It sucks but if the point of this game was to end the cycle and give the galaxy a big reboot to allow the future races to make their own destiny - and to do that we need to destroy the synth - then it sucks but ok.
My problem is that the options do not seem to come from shepard's journey but rather the starkid. If starkid stated in destroy that all reapers and reaper tech would be destroyed it would make a bit more sense that the geth have to die along with edi - as they used reaper tech to acheive their level of life. However, starkid states that all synthetics will be destroyed - as he believes that no matter what synthetics will kill all organic life.
Bottom line: you can choose whatever you want, but the choices do not originate from your story - they originate from the catalysts story. and no matter what you do, you will never get an option or choice that comes from your story unless you choose refuse. (though renegade sheps may enjoy control - idk)
but yeah - I always shoot the tube:wizard:
