I was eating dinner and a bolt of sarcasm lightning went straight through my head.

When I came to the ME forums and saw this thread, I understood what happened.

Thanks, Shotgun J. Again, hat's off too ya.

I'm going to throw a motherboard in my soup and make Synthesis stew. Why should I wait for an advanced galaxy to make myself part machine?

Is this really necessary? Did you have to go out of your way to mock an ending that you don't like?

Do you want me to mock an ending I don't like? You really want me to do that? It would take longer than a single post, and it would encompass more than a single part of the multiple choice test we're given. It would be the entire ending. It a bookend of destruction as far as I'm concerned. But I don't want to go into that because I'll get called a hater. It encompasses all of the endings.

I've nothing against technology. Just in the way technology gets used at times. What I take issue with is the way that it was written, not with the concept of it itself. But for the sake of this I'll put my hands over my ears, yell "La la la la la" about the way it was written.

Now if they'd given Shepard a chance to live through the Synthesis ending perhaps it would have made this more enticing. Think about it. I mean what is needed here? DNA, right? Human DNA. There was something special about human DNA (from the DE ending and ME2) And an organic had to make the choice freely. What is below where the elevator was? a 5 minute old human corpse -- no cellular degeneration going on yet. DNA fresh as you get. Let's grab Anderson and chuck him into the beam. Shepard lives through it. Reunion. Happy ending. Done. EDI is alive. Geth Alive. Harvest over forever. Reapers help rebuild & share cultures. Everyone is different but no one knows it. Even Shepard doesn't know it.

I know. Anderson! Respect for the dead! Look he's dead. You're going to kill a billion geth or throw one dead man into a beam. Which is a worse crime? Okay, I know you're thinking. I'm mocking this, because I've been pro destroy for 7 months.

Shepard's life sucked. Shepard shouldn't have had to make a sacrifice in the end. Shepard deserved some happiness.

Big fan of sarcastaball. Synthesis is fabtabulous.


Oops. Did a synthesis lover get an owie?

Glowing green eyes/skin/trees could be a temporary post-Synthesis effect. Synthesis is mostly about internal changes.

Think how amazing it would be to message cyborg trees via Bluetooth!

Green organic and synthetic organs with my mind connected to the Reapers, awesome

You synthesis people and your "Final Solution"

Disgusting.
" I know what's best for all life in the galaxy so I'm going to try something that's never succeeded based on the advice of my enemy using their technology which I don't understand. And it's permanent"

Lunatics

Beats enslavement, mass genocide and betrayal, and of course, letting everyone die horribly because you didn't have the guts to make the tough choices at the end.

Id interface with you and indoctrinate you.  I mean if you want your mind able to be corrupted then go right ahead.  Being reprogrammed to believe something else was something that both organics and synthetics are equally crap at defending against.

But this happens without people even being interfaced. They get indoctrinated daily. They get reprogrammed daily. I'm not meaning to get political here but I'm going to use the example: watch the election polling -- it's insanity. It's all depending upon spin and propaganda and whose is more effective.

So this argument about being half synthetic and half organic and being more vulnerable to being reprogrammed and being hacked is a non-sequetir.

There! Credible argument!

Aren't we already indoctrinated from birth with whatever values, morals, and beliefs that we were taught?


Society indoctrinates us, makes us its implement.

So, what's the difference?

You can't be serious.




I'll give you a hint: In one of those two, there are genocide spaceships and an AI overlord involved...

Synthesis in itself is not bad. It's just really really poorly established and outlined and flatly contradicts major themes.
It could be great in a different franchise which has different foundations, but in the ME it is and will always be utter bull****.

My stance on Synthesis, more or less.

The reapers are simply a foreign society.

You've simply been indoctrinated to be xenophobic.

Maybe I am just too tired to recognize your sarcasm, but if you really are serious...

-Xenophobic means fear towards the unknown. We do not fear the reapers because we do not understand them, we fear the reapers because they kill us all.

-The reapers are not a society. They do not fit in even a single part of the definition of the term "society". They do not even fit the defintion of life.

What's wrong with Shepard expressing their thoughts on the ending by pulling a Saren with an energy beam?

[Omega2079]

Everyone loves being an admin. Can't say that for the endusers though.

Actually the spoon is now sentient and understands you perfectly, and the bread...well let's just say that leaves weren't the only things that now have microships.

All hail synthesis!
