Which ending? Pre-EC or Post-EC? Most importantly, why?

I synthesised first time, but have destroyed every time after; frankly I don't believe the Catalysts inference that all synthetics are affected. Shepard and the Quarians seem do be doing okay, both have implants (Shepard especially, given they were brought back thanks to implants probably based on Reaper tech). The fact that they don't appear in the epilogue just means they don't appear in the epilogue (a fallacy of omission - a deliberate move to allow fans to come up with their own ending).

So what's yours?

MEHEM.

Because Bioware doesn't respect their own plot, so why should I?

Were I on PC, this would be my choice.

As it stands I side with destroy.  The Reapers cannot be allowed to exist.
I very much doubt that all synthetics are affected either.  Shepard is part synthetic and yet he lives, VIs are synthetic intelligence and run just about everything in the galaxy, and yet the galaxy survives.  The catalyst's predictions are less than accurate.

I believe that it lied.  The Crucible forces him to show the choices, but he has some control over what he says.  In the lower answer to the Catalyst about control he tells Shepard that while he's not looking forward to being replaced, he can do nothing about it.  This tells me he has some control over his speech, but the Crucible forces him to answer to Shepard and show the choices.

This won't end well.

But anyway.

I choose Destroy, for lack of a better choice. Control and Synthesis are abhorrent, Destroy is less so.

Control.

It's just something really cool about being like a god, holding a protective arm over mankind and guiding them to glory, and striking down anyone who would try to stand in their way.

And then eventually, when humanity is strong enough and stand as sole rulers, no longer needing the protection of the Reapers; slip back into the emptiness of the void, only to return when humanity was in peril.


P.S But either way, the endings were pretty crappy...

Pre-EC : Destroy - No, Tiny I won´t make a homework for you...

Post EC : Refuse - No, Tiny I won´t sacrifice the soul my this cycle just to entertain you.

[Aaleel]

Destroy, pre and post EC.  To quote Ripley "It's the only way to be sure." As long as the reapers are alive they're a threat.

Also something just seemed wrong to me in allowing the reapers to pretty much go unpunished for their countless years of atrocities.

Pre-EC:
-Synthesis because I wasn't paying attention and kind of zoned out when the bizarre ghost kid started talking.

Post-EC:
-Paragon Control for the cool Shepard monologue if I'm feeling nice.
-Destroy otherwise to give organics a chance to create their own future without a self-proclaimed god figure deciding for them.

[IntelligentME3Fanboy]

 Destroy.
Why?Because i wanted to KILL the reapers.
But the geth will die..No,because i never make peace.Always choose quarians

[Raiil]

Control.

Destroy is everything my Shepard fought against. She's been pro-EDI since they first met, called out Tali on the original attempted genocide of the Geth and called out the Admirals on their second go around, and believed in galactic unity in her own grumpy way.


Synthesis doesn't, and still doesn't, make any sense to me, as the player. As Shepard, Synthesis is opposed to diversity, something she holds to be vital to the continued expansion to all living things.

[Pelle6666]

Pre-EC - Destroy, because the other options sucked even worse.
Post-EC - Destroy, because it's was awesome and Shepard lives.

[LieutenantSarcasm]

Overall: MEHEM for simple reasons.
My actual canon playthrough (On X360, only system I own all three and all DLC on) : Destroy because has the best cost/benefit of any of the bioware choices.

[Rikketik]

Pre-EC: no favorite.
Post-EC: Synthesis.
Headcanon: Destroy.

I added the last line because I think Synthesis, purely as it is depicted in the game, is beautiful. But what I'd really want is for everything to return to normal, for Shepard to live a happy life with her LI and everyone to survive. So that leaves me with Destroy and a little bit of headcanon.

Destroy.

Anderson: A good leader is someone who values the life of his men over the success of the mission, but understands that sometimes the cost of failing a mission is higher than the cost of losing those men.

Pre- EC? I chose Destroy

Post- EC? Control. But only the paragade version.

[nrobbiec]

Destroy. It's the most triumphant and beautiful of the endings. The galaxy deserves a chance and has already proved the Leviathan wrong by resolving the Geth/Quarian conflict. *Insert Geth/EDI surviving headcanon*
Also Shepard lives, Kaidan putting his name on the memorial wall was just too heartbreaking.
And I don't like MEHEM.

Pre-EC: Destroy, but I still thought it was bad

Post-EC: Destroy, this time I enjoyed it because it revealed the true impact of my choice. I felt like a truly free galaxy is a galaxy free of a reaper existence at all.

[Kataphrut94]

Control. Aside from my own selfish reasons that being god would be awesome, there's also the fact that it's morally neutral and comes the closest to denying the Reaper notions that organics and synthetics cannot cooperate. While Destroy is saying that synthetic life doesn't matter and we should happily kill them off and Synthesis is saying they're right and that we can only have peace by going through with it, Control is simply replacing the instigator with someone who knows the score i.e me.

Then there's the fact there is no more death, no change and the Reapers are able to restore order and clean up the mess they made.

[KingZayd]

Destroy, pre and post:
All options (except refuse) use up the Crucible of which we only get one . We can't beat the Reapers without a Crucible. It's the only option that gets rid of the Reapers. Can't find a justification for picking Synthesis or Control under these circumstances.

MEHEM

Although if we HAVE to pick one of the 'official' endings - Low EMS Destroy - Reapers stopped for good, and BW can shove the rubble scene up their collective *ss.

MEHEM.

I've seen Padishah-Imperium and the Kingdom Come executed better elsewhere, not to mention far more intriguing leading figures of villains. And it is a testament to what fan-modifications can achieve in its simplicity. 'sides, quite excited to see where its progress is headed.

Pre- and Post-EC: Synthesis - because it fascinates me.

Although paragon control is pretty neat too.

[JasonShepard]

Control. Pre and Post-EC, but definitely Post-Leviathan.

For the full reasoning (warning, a bit long) see the link in my sig. The basics come down to wanting to preserve EDI and the Geth, but without the massive ethical ramifications of Synthesis.

I also like the set up for questions of identity for the Shep-AI (Am I Shepard?) and the potential for a full-on Leviathans vs Shep-AI vs Rebel-Reapers-led-by-Harbinger three way battle. Because I doubt Controlling the Reapers will be as easy as point and click... (Basically, I just find there to be a lot of potential stories to be told in a post-Control universe.)
