Since my first canon playthrough being obviously Destroy, and then Extended Cut choosing refuse, I have been doing a lot of thinking about which ending best fits my canon's character, my character.
I have decided to choose refuse, this is based on a few reasons of which I will try to explain.
People in the past have said that refuse is the weak way out because you're failing to act and make a choice.
However, refuse is *the* hardest choice to actually make because of the fact that you're refusing. You're saying, look I know we spent the whole game building this thing, but what you're asking, I can't do it, I wont. You're saying that you wont compromise in your role to win this war, and that you will fight to the death for what you believe is right.
But you're not just choosing to refuse the Catalyst because you don't like it's other choices or it's outcomes. You're also choosing to fight for everybody's freedom, and that is why refuse isn't inaction. Because that is the choice, to fight for everyone, and this is why it deserves a better ending because standing up for what you believe in shouldn't be rewarded with mass nihilism.
Plus, even if it were successful, it's not like there wouldn't be any casualties at all. Therefore there could still be some consequences in choosing it, other than *everyone* dying.
Because, as it stands, that's the only part of refuse I can't stomach, is it's result (In fact, my canon romances Liara so I can't watch it at all). It really is indefensible.
Also, not only did the Rannoch arc (if you made peace) disprove the Catalyst's assertions, but in the refuse ending you're once again choosing to fight for them too, treating them as an even truer equal, when you had another chance to destroy them. And that's what I prefer about Refuse over Destroy, because you're only proving the Catalyst right if you do destroy them.
So refuse haters, please recognize that if someone says they support refuse, the chances are they are supporting the choice to fight for everybody, at least moreso than they are supporting it's result.
True indeed, I found nice about refuse a fact that this is the real sacrifice - the only one which is really meant as a sacrifice. I don´t want go into Godwin, but that´s what deffinetly bothering me about endings itself - we are supposed to co-operate with monster to help solve its problem, problem which we have managed to solve on our own he was supposed to take care, not mentioned that for AI with unlimited potential to solve this problem he found very limited way to solve problem and easy one...
What I really didn´t like about game as whole is the fact that Legion was retconed into some abomination calling for Reaper´s upgrades, when before he was saying that Geths seek own future - that´s the way where ****load starts - either support geths to become what they were refusing or let them die.
For example I would really liked one thing, see Wrex or old Legion and Catalyst - for some reason I think that they both would also choose refuse...
