Exactly. And sooner or later it will happen.


How can someone loose something he never had? Freedom does not exist. It's just a beautiful word that politicians use to control the crowd.


OK are you some Soviet holdover or something?

Yes, because of the Shadow Broker thing, basically. Particularly if she's "hardened" or whatever.

well .. there is a difference between using the brokers network to help shepard stop the reapers and controling the archenemy.

liara saw first hand what the reapers did to her homeworld - she was crushed and broken. she wanted to make the reapers pay. she was angry and vengeful.


she would shoot the tube.,

I see the fact she was harden is proof enough she would pick destroy.

Shepard had to make the choice. He was the only one that could've.


Because....? Shepard wouldn't have made it if the Catalyst didn't bring him up.

Ahh are you one of those people that think the "Catalyst let you win" ?

Well, Shepard is the only reason the Crucible was able to dock. Only when the Crucible is docked does the Catalyst know that its solution won't work anymore.

TIM was under the Reapers/Catalysts control. It made sure that no one was left but Shepard. Shepard is the avatar of our cycle. He carries the hopes of everybody in the galaxy. He represents us. The Catalyst represents them (the Reapers)

If you don't understand the symbolism of Shepard or the ending, then there's really no point in me going any further....

Liara would be firmly in the Destroy camp.

For those who think she'd choose Control, what scene in the series leads you to believe that Liara would choose to become some sort of Reaper A.I. that rules over the Reapers? She is personally horrified by the Reapers and their creations. I can't see her willingly choosing to become one of the abominations she is repulsed by.

No question that Liara shoots that tube.

I'm on the fence about Miranda, and you may be right that she'd choose Destroy as well.

Does anyone remember how she reacts if she is brought along on a ME2 playthrough where Shepard decides to keep the Collector Base? If she voices disapproval there, I'd move her to Destroy.

I also forgot Morinth, who I'm certain would choose Control.

Considering Anderson had a good lead on us anyway, why not him? Oh... symbolism is the reason eh? Well when you force symbolism to be the driving force behind things instead of common sense or logic, then you have issues.

Morinth: Control
Legion: This one is hard. The only one he wouldn't pick is Control.
Zaeed: Destroy
Kasumi: Synthesis (since it gets her beloved Keiji back. That seems to be all she lives for.)
James: Destroy
EDI: Destroy, possibly Synthesis
Javik: Destroy


I think Legion would actually go with Destroy. At the very least, he'd perfectly understand and accept the rationale behind it. I'm not picking it to kill the Geth, I'm picking it to kill the Reapers. The Geth understand that this is the only favorable outcome. They recognize the necessity of their sacrifice.

Did it once with Miranda. Quite sure when TIM was all "Don't destroy the base Shepard, we need it!" she cut him off by shutting off the comm channel. If that's not an endorsement I don't know what is.

I well updated my post.
Added, the question comes with the issue of the nature of the human body. Much of it is dictated by insicts and chemical reactions. We have no true control over these chemical reactions. You can say you have free will till you get drunk and lose self control. Or have other outside simuli get uncontrolible reaction from you. The issueis not do we have self determisum but how much self control we have of our reactions. Much of what we feel is chemical based. If that right part of the mind is cut out, that  would drasicly change.

If that is the case, I'd put Miranda firmly in the Destroy camp as well.

IMO that would leave EDI as Synthesis' sole supporter, and Morinth and Legion as the only two who would choose Control. The rest of the squadmates would be Destroyers.

None of them would pick Refuse.

If we expanded it beyond squadmates to Normandy characters, I might put Joker in the Synthesis camp however. He'd do it for the nookie.

1.) Using the SB's resources for a "good" purpose rather than just crashing it like Shepard can suggest to her.
2.) Her belief all sentient races have the right to self-determinate, referring specifically to geth, in an intercom-chat with Tali.

Nobody doesn't think the Reapers creation is horrific, but horror is hardly something to base decisions off of. Maelon's data?

EDI can't even pick synthesis because she is not organic. Also I think she would sacrifice herself for the greater good,

Control would just too far OOC for Liara IMO, considering that other than perhaps Kaidan she's the most paragon squadmate in the series.

Control is one of the most renegade decisions in the series, even though it can have paragon results in the EC, if Shep tends to lean that way.

Liara's belief that all sentient races have the right to self-determinate, also supports Destroy IMO. Consider that each Reaper is created from millions of indoctrinated organic minds who had once raged against their own destruction. Now robbed of free will, they are enslaved abominations for whom destruction would be a liberation.

You miss the point entirely. You jumped from philosophical freedom to physiological mechanisms. The two are not the same at all. They're not even related. Your argument is invalid.

I call bogus on all that anyway. You're always in control. Not physical perhaps (though I don't mind not having to remember to breath or make my heart beat). But you have absolute choice in how you choose to react to anything external. You get drunk, that's all on you. You chose to drink alcohol. For other outside stimuli, you still have control over your actions. I may not be able to control my emotions and feelings about something, but I am in full control over how I choose to react to it externally. That won't fly any other way.

Anderson was unable to break the hold over him. And if you played through the first 2 games and only realized there was something special/symbolic about Shepard at the end of ME3, than you must've not been paying attention.

It's why I believe every race is self-determinate that I wipe out the Reapers and their master. They chose to annihilate countless civilizations for their cycle. They made their choice. Now I make the choice to wipe them out forever.

You have a point on Maelon's data. Don't intermingle that with the Reapers. They really are not related at all.

Maelon's data, while brutish and cruel in the manner it was attained, had a purpose to solve the problem of the genophage which would slowly disintegrate the number of remaining Krogan otherwise if left unchecked.

The Reapers creation method was to take a living species, grind them to paste, mold it into a Reaper, then launch the new supposedly 'ascended' being on a genocide campaign to keep killing more and more species. Don't know why anybody thinks that's a good thing.

This. Freedom doesn't even have be exteriorized. Freedom is choosing how to react to the circumstances even if you are trapped or phisically immovilized .

But the two are not indepedent. They both react to one another. Which is the point. the fact that they can manipulate one another means one can use it as a question ofthe realiies of free will.

And no your not always in control. You can only control how your react to how you feel and that still is based on state of mind. You can't control if you argery or not but you can control what you do with that anger if your in the right state of mind.
