Yes, for those of you who have been following my threads, I've finally chosen my canon ending. I choose Control.

Synthesis is simply too much. I love the concept, but I can't force it on every being in the galaxy. Who am I to make such a literally life-changing choice? It is not my place to alter the fundamental nature of life.

So why did I not choose Destroy? I don't believe in the concept of "forbidden knowledge", and I don't want to invalidate synthetic life. Synthetics have the right to self-determination, and I will not betray them out of a fear of the Reapers.

As the new Catalyst, created from the mind of an organic, I will use the Reapers for good. I will help rebuild the galactic infrastructure, and then retreat into the dark corners of the galaxy for a while. I will remain in relative obscurity, quietly observing the galaxy's progress. I will not involve myself in politics or conflicts unless I determine that something truly horrible is about to happen.

As more time passes and the galaxy gradually becomes comfortable with the concept of "peaceful Reapers", I will begin to offer the knowledge contained within them. The knowledge of the Reapers will be revealed at a gradual pace. I don't want to overwhelm the galaxy or make it progress too quickly.

My long term goals, which may take millennia to fulfill, will be the following:

- Ensure that all species have the right to self-determination, within reasonable limits (I will stay out of most conflicts).
- Disseminate the knowledge of the Reapers throughout the galaxy.
- Restore the species contained within the Reapers and reintegrate them into galactic society.

Through Control, I validate the existence of all forms of life, and I offer the galaxy the power and knowledge of lost civilizations. We will not fear the unknown. We will embrace it.

Let the countdown to your Shepard eventually going ape-**** and killing everyone begin.

If you've only discovered your canon ending just now.. After almost 8 months (2 since you signed up).

Then you made the right choice. You'll probably need the help.

CONTROL! I CHOOSE YOU!

Yeah, I finished the game in March, and have struggled to settle on an ending since that time. It's been... stressful.

You should set the reapers free too, since you are a fan of self-determination

Restore the species contained within the Reapers and reintegrate them into galactic society

How are you going to restore goo? 

And more importantly, how are you planning on doing anything when you're dead?

That's why I will restore the species contained within them. Of course, I intend to communicate with the Reapers. I won't use them as mindless slaves like the Catalyst did. I assume that most Reapers will regret what has happened, and will wish to atone.

I cannot abide by a dictator ruling the galaxy. I don't care how good and righteous he is, he's a dictator with an army of death machines to enforce his will. My love of free will will not stand for it.

That's a good one.

Good choice. You really took the decision seriously, and I admire the thought you put into it.

Me? Still sticking with Destroy, and dismissing the roboticide with a hardcore headcanon handwave. It's the only decision that grants true freedom and self-determination to the galaxy, in my opinion. Y'all can disagree, but I done gone think what I thunk, and I'd be durn damned if I ever unthunk it.

I'm sure there are ways to take their DNA and "resurrect" them.

Control would be my top choice if I did not pick Refuse.

I am just not willing to sacrifice the Geth or EDI in destroy.

And Synthesis is forcing a state of being on people, it does not matter (to me at least) that it has the benefits it does or if it is inevitable, people deserve the right to choose for themselves.

It's time to celebrate!!!
Let's put on some mood music!!!

I should've worded that better: How are you going to take DNA from a machine?

Head canon is the only answer for me.

So you rather sacrifice every living being in the galaxy?

. To be honest I don't need head canon to call bull on the Glowstick.  He does it himself

Oh and before someone else posts this

Have fun putting down the resistance!

I know. I hate it, too. But I refuse to alter all beings against their will, and I refuse to obliterate synthetic life. Believe me, my Shepard will rarely use his power.

In fact, if my Shepard determines that he simply can't protect the galaxy without violating the galaxy's self-determination, he may just become a wandering cosmic entity. Something will have to be done with the Reapers themselves. They will probably be restored and left to rejoin the galaxy.

Afterward, Shepard will just leave the galaxy for all time, destined to wander the universe forever.

[Steelcan]

As for why you didn't pick destroy, where does forbidden knowledge come into it? Destroy is a rejection of the Catalyst's logic, it guarantees life's right to self determination(I don't consider synthetics alive), it ends the cycles for good, it is not a compromise or suggestion of the reapers.

All that said, it's your choice
