More like Deus Ex.
If Deus Ex had gone horribly wrong.

No. It's transhumanism! And transhumanism is GOOD. Therefore Synthesis is GOOD. What's that you say, people who do care about narrative context, thematic consistency, and violation of consent? LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA.

Even worse, some people say it's optional and you don't have to pick it.

Right. There's always the super-satisfying option of genociding the geth, thereby negating one of the high points of the game.Robosexual wrote...

You don't "genocide" a bunch of equipment but yes, it's super-satisfying wiping out murderous robots who the game was trying to whitewash the past atrocities of.
Lay of the IT kool aid, there's no "becoming a reaper" in 3.

I too was shocked when a game about choices presented a hard choice to me. I wanted the game about galactic survival to hold my hand and not present me with anything that questioned my morals.

You know Robosexual, I usually don't like your post. But damn, this one made me laugh out loud. Bravo. You've hit the nail right on the head.

Since they're both idiots in ME2 & 3, it's completely insignificant who survives Virmire.

A hybrid? Nope.
The originally leaked script spelled it out more clearly, but it's still true. You become a Reaper.

A Reaper is: "billions of organic minds, uploaded and conjoined within immortal machine bodies."

"Synthesis is bad."
"It's also optional"
"The other choices have negatives too."
"Because it's supposed to be a hard choice"
"You're saying it's deep and artistic"
Dunno how you made that leap in logic, or what it has to do with anything we said before it. It's a different argument that I have no interest in, as I just care about the facts of the end not subjective opinions on it.
