Destroy because...

It's what I set out to do. I believe that control is a corrupted solution, and possibly exactly what the reapers want- though I don't agree with the indoctrination theory, I do think that it is possible that that would be submitting to indoctrination.

As for synthesis, I don't think it would be fair to merge organic and synthetic life without giving the people a choice in the matter. What if people didn't want that? It would be taking away their choice in the matter. Also, aren't husks basically organic and synthetic mixed? Sure, they're indoctrinated, but who's to say people wouldn't all turn into husks anyways? After all, the reaper's minds are merging with our own.

Though I was sad to wipe out synthetics (because the geth were awesome, and I would miss EDI) it seemed like the best option to me.

I'm not hearing a lot of people picking refuse...........

I pick Control because I believe it is the right thing to do.

I pick Synthesis because I reckon it sounds like fun.

I pick Destroy because F*** THAT S*** UP YEAH!!!

I pick Refuse when I've had too much to drink and the wave of melancholy and depression kicks in.

Could it be they find Hudson and Walters flipping them off if they do in any way annoying?

Seriously, if it weren't for the synthetic holocaust, I'm willing to bet 90% or more of all players would've gone with Destroy.  I'm beginning to think that's the only reason they (Bioware) threw lolgenocide in there, otherwise basically nobody would pick the other two (or three).

Eh, logic dictates otherwise. If people seriously want me to believe that the energy wave targets everything in destroy, but only Reapers in control, then they can take their crap somewhere else.

It. Makes. No. Goddamn. Sense.

The idea was that "Destroy" basically gives the catalyst what he wants, albeit in another way. The risk of synthetics is annihilated by annihilating all synthetics. The reason the Destroy wave targets all sentient tech and the Control wave targets just reapers is because that's how they are intended to function.

It's still bum****ingly stupid, but that seems to be the clearest explination.

Then why didn't the catalyst just destroy all synthetics in the first place?

I think more people would pick it if it wasn't just a "lol you lose".

isn't that what paragon control is for though? that way they can force their "morals" on everyone

that and it is the only one that has a paragon/renegade outcome to it ,. well destroy has 3 , but not clearly paragon or renegade

not saying control is paragon but it has paragon / renegade outcomes as said

[Whatislove?]

I chose the destroy ending, I wanted Shepard to live that's my reason. Although I must say the control ending was amazing as well. How Shepard integrates and becomes immortal, his/her mind anyways. After that the speech he/she gives at the end. It was very powerful and I was in awe when I first saw it.

[birefringent]

I don't have any preferences really. I love all the endings, they just depend on which one of my Shepards' I'm currently playing and what mood I'm in.

But one of my favourite moments of ME3 came when I was for the first time exploring the Extended Cut. My vanguard was angry and tired of the reapers and she decided to destroy them all. But before I got to the shooting part, I did what I usually do during a destroy choice: I shoot the kid in the head as a notice of GTFO my galaxy. Which usually doesn't have any effect, but today was different. Suddenly a booming voice yells at me: "So be it!" and the cycle continues. I'm stuck sitting there on the Citadel thinking: "WTF is this? This never happened before! No no no, it was an accident! I swear!" And my FailShep wasn't able to save the galaxy. It was even worse when Liara was talking about how we did everything but it wasn't enough. If only she knew the truth

I also love the idea of turning my Shep into some freakish AI that decides to guard the entire galaxy, and anyone who tries to mess with my blue galaxy is gonna get my reaper boot up their ***.

Synthesis was the hardest for me. I do like it as well, but here's the problem: For several years I've been waiting and waiting for a chance to finally rid the galaxy of the reaper threat, and now they come along and tell me we can all live togheter happily ever after. But I do love the notion of gaining the knowledge of all the poor civilizations that came before us, and using it for the good of all, to infinity and beyond. Although the Leviathan finally confirmed that the reapers were just doing what they were programmed to do. But it was really difficult to become friendly with the reapers, I just soo much wanted to kill Harbinger and shut him up forever. Thank you Bioware for making such a amazingly annoying character, always egging me on in ME2

Destroy is good, finally I can get rid of the reapers forever, but someone has to rebuild EDI, and the Geth. Bring back my BFF Legion.

Gonna change this

I pick refuse, the reasons have been outlined by many before.

When you are talking to the catalyst you are talking to the archenemy you've been fighting for years. You know that your enemy relies on deception and manipulation (e.g. via indoctrination).
He presents you with some bull****, a lot of which does not add up the least.
Then you are presented with a choice:
a) shoot a tube which is going to explode. This will trigger an explosion and kill all synthetics in the galaxy, including the reapers. Why should he give you this option? He's got a task to fulfill, he admitted outright, that he will have failed once he's gone (your children will create synthetics and then you have the problem I suppressed the last few decades).
touch two highly charged electrodes. Very healthy, huh? This will magically turn you into an AI, which controls the reapers. I don't think starchild or any reaper would still exist if they hadn't some sense of self-preservation. So why does he offer me this?
c) you jump into a green energy beam. This way, circuits will be installed in all organic beings all over the galaxy and synthetics will understand organics. Everybody can understand the reapers and the original conflict won't exist anymore. U-huh.

All of the proposed means seem to kill Shepard, however I don't see how any of this is going to achieve what it is supposed to achieve. Furthermore the crucible is but an energy source. Why did the crucible create this possbilities in the 1st place? Catalyst can build reapers which ain't easy, he seems to be a pretty smart guy after all. Why can't he build an extra energy supply and link it into the Citadel?#

The only possible explanation that I see is that starchild is lying and this is his last attempt to stop him. To trick him into choosing one of these options, he assumes the form of a child to appear innocent and harmless. Otherwise Shepard could go to the AI core or reprogram it or whatever. Refuse is the only logical option.

Of course you can argue that the outcome of refusing is the worst, but Shepard does not possess any knowledge about the future. Including that into your thought process is metagaming.

Of course, I think (s)he gets the best last words here, at least they're the ones I enjoy most, but that's just on a sidenote.

So refuse it is for me.

Destroy, it is the only ending that ends the reapers permanently.

[Volc19]

Control is my ending. Shepard sacrifices his life, stops the Reapers, creates a galaxy-wide defence and repair force, synthetics live, and all life is as it was previously. The only downsides are indoctrination (which I think is a crock), Shepard sorta-dies, and it isn't in tune with the narriative (I just let TIM die for wanting the same thing. I mean the mission parameters changed and heended up being a little bit right, but still.)

[frozn89]

I tend to go for destroy, because it's what we originally set out to do, and also because it's the lesser of three evils imo. A little bummed we can't win conventionally, but as long as I get to destroy the Reapers that's fine, even if it sucks that the Geth and EDI dies.

Also a fan of control, depending on which Shepard I play with. And to be fair, being a more or less immortal "god" is quite appealing =P

[mechalynx]

Destroy.
1. Reapers have no perception of sanctity of life, organic or synthetic. The make husks out of your friends and family.
2. If they do understand, they don't care, as evidenced by your encounter with Sovereign on Virmire.
3. I don't believe in slavery and rapey space magic.

[CptBomBom00]

Destroy-
Shepard lives(sort of), re-unites with Liara, has two daughters.
Reapers are dead, well Geth and EDI, die too but little evil is necessary.
Also carp ton of Reaper tech laying around, just waiting to be reversed-engineered.

[Hurbster]

I chose destroy as the other endings are even worse.

[RogueBot]

I picked destroy because I was apathetic to all 3 options but wanted to see things blow up.

[Slappy Ya Face]

Destroy. Because I have no ****in' idea what's going on and can't trust the reaper king.

[Steelcan]

I think it speaks volumes that most people are picking Destroy, because the other endings are "worse".

So much for BioWare's faorite.

Marginally less space magic too. Even if Synthesis wasn't morally repugnant its very ridiculousness offends me.

[Village_Idiot]

Destroy. It leaves the Reapers infeasible for future generations, without destabilising the galactic status quo. The price is high, but I never kidded myself that ending the Reapers wasn't going to leave casualties. As far as long-term solutions go, it's the best for ensuring that life may still self-determinate, freed from the Reapers' machinations.

Plus, y'know. Shepard surviving is a bonus.
