What choices did you make in your playthrough?
I:
Sabotaged the genophage and had to kill Mordin and Wrex. It seems quite strange that the Salarians are only about 230 on the war readiness chart. Salarian ships and their top-tier scientists seem much more important to the war effort than a bunch of Krogan cannon fodder, considering that the Crucible is supposed to be your top priority and it seems more important to take out your enemy's spacefaring capabilites than his ability to wage terrestrial warfare
Killed Ashley during the Cerberus assault on the citadel. I never liked the character and have always regretted choosing her over Kaiden. Talking her down with the renegade/paragon dialogue options was a cheap way out, and it seemed thematically fitting to shoot her, considering the way she's been mistrusftul and ****ing at Shepard ever since ME2.
Destroyed the Geth. I found that mission really poorly written. The Geth/Legion never gave you a good reason for trusting them with reaper code, and it was totally inconsistent with Legion's rejection of reaper tech in ME2. Legion is never allowed to convince you to enhance the Geth with reaper code, and you're never allowed to convince him to do otherwise, instead being offered a shallow choice between destroying the Geth, alowing peace between the reaper Geth and the Quarians, or allowing the reaper enhanced Geth to destroy the Quarians. Sure, reaper tech has been reverse engineered by other species to create stuff like Thanix cannons, EDI, etc, but using reaper code to completely change an entire species and how they act and think seems like a pretty bad move. If the writers from ME/ME2 were still around, we'd probably be offered more ways to handle that scenario.
Destroyed the reapers. The whole starchild and space magic silliness at the end was really disappointing, especially for a series that pretends to be hard sci-fi. Controlling the reapers would likely end up with you seeing their way of thinking, and synthesis is a bunch of nonsensical space magic crap. What's to stop this new combination of synethetic/organic DNA from eventually creating their own AI, and eventually warring with it? Eventually they'd see their new DNA as natural or 'organic', and there'd be another schism between the 'synthetics and organics'', continuing the cycle of destruction Haley Joel Osment warned you about. Destruction was the only option that made sense. I don't really see how the conflict between organics and synthetics can ever be properly resolved, and there can never be a happy ending, so the best you can hope for is to hit the reset button, eradicate the current system that's been going on for aeons, and hope that the next generations have a better solution. They probably won't, but at least you're giving them a chance.
