Preferred: MEHEM
Secondary: Destroy

They both destroy the reapers, that was my goal and nothing less will do. If we are ignoring MEHEM then second choice is to turn off the game at Marauder Shields and then go read the comic.

I'm presuming eject disc after Priority: Cerberus Headquarters isn't included in the preferred ending options?

Preferred Ending: Destroy, Only Paragon choice really.

Second Choice: Refuse

Explanation for Second Choice: A quick death is more preferable to stagnation and a slow death. It will also leave hope that the next cycle can Destroy the catalyst.

refuse, cause if I can't kill them I'm going to die trying.

[fr33stylez]

Preferred ending: Destroy
Second Choice: Refuse, turn off game

Explanation: As horrendous as all the options were, and everything leading up to it, I still chose Destroy in a feeble attempt to preserve whatever was left of a coherent story and game. So if Destroy wasn't an option, I'd basically ignore all the crap spouting out of the DEM/exposition mouthpiece that was the Catalyst. Knowing that refuse is just a glorified game over screen is fine with me.

ill stick with my head cannon.

I'm on my secondary choice already- Control.

My first choice was an ending that made sense with the rest of the trilogy.

[GeneralMoskvin_2.0]

Preferred Ending: Control
Second Choice: Synthesis
Why:

Let's see. With Destroy we have some genocide (And don't c'mere and say those can be repaired. A character or the spirit of an entire people cannot be repaired.),

Which leads to Synthesis. Eventually everything will stagnate, but there will be peace. And no, the catalyst isn't lying. He could also be lying with the destroy thingy, remember?

So, we synthesize everything. The Reapers got no reason to destroy us anymore, help us and everyone acts as before, just peaceful....

...Why is destroy the paragon ending again?

[PsyrenY]

There is no "paragon ending."

And Synthesis doesn't stagnate anything either. There are still challenges, they are just totally different ones from the challenges of the other endings.

Because hur dur it's "what I set out to do" hurr dur.


On a more serious note, none of the endings have Paragon or Renegade points attached to them, which I think is the point.

[Aaleel]

No matter how I role play Shepard none of them can come up with any reason to pick anything but Destroy. So that's hands down the preferred choice.

If You put a gun to my head and make me pick something else, I guess control. I'd just have to cross my fingers and hope that the new Catalyst doesn't crunch numbers, and find some perceived problem and come up with a 'solution' as *** backwards as the old Catalyst.

Refuse is just quitting and allowing the cycle to continue, and Synthesis is just agreeing that we can't handle things on our own as we are so we need to be forcibly changed into someone's vision of the perfect race and brainwashed to attempt to make us act right.

destroy

refuse
Maybe(that's a big maybe) try and win conventionally.

Yeah, "I'm supposed to do this and Bioware tricks us by flipping the paragon and renegade colors and the Geth and EDI are totally okay with being killed." AKA "Shepard lives and I want blue babies."

[Reorte]

Sticking to what's in the game (so no MEHEM) and absolutely having to pick one (so no turning the game off):

Main choice: Destroy, for reasons that have been said a million times.
Second choice: Control - at least it doesn't actually make anything worse than before the decision.

[soren4ever]

Preferred Ending: High EMS Destroy
Second Choice: Control
Explanation for Second Choice: As much as I don't like the idea of the Sheparlyst, and I don't like the Reaper Police State; it is still better than the gene-manipulation of Synthesis and the glorified Game Over screen that is Refuse. Control still has the possibilty of preserving free will and diversity. I don't know, I'd rather not think about not being able to pick destroy. If Synthesis is inevitable, then it will happen anyways NATURALLY; Shepard and the Catalyst should have no say on forcing it on the rest of the Galaxy.

Okay, if you put a gun to my head, I'll let Irina Shepard pick Control. Trust me. You'll all be sorry. She would be the galactic Stalin. Just imagine being stuck with that for millions of years.

* She knows when you've been sleeping. She knows when you're awake. She knows if you've been bad or good. So be good for goodness sake.

But then I think about her promise... She said she'd return to Liara. She'd call the Normandy for a pickup, and via BioWare 5 second pickup standards even with a Reaper there in plain sight, no problem. So I guess in reality she'd REFUSE. It would be a long war of hide and seek.

[wright1978]

Preferred ending: destroy(not including MEHEM)
If destroy wasn't there, i'd choose refuse.

[Yestare7]

MrFob built us the ending a lot of us wanted. Bioware was too artsy to give us decent closure.
Out of a recent poll, nearly 20% chose MEHEM.
Keep in mind, that console players cannot install MEHEM, or this figure (IMO) would be closer to 25%.

Therefore, SOUNDLY beating Synthesis and Control. I repeat, SOUNDLY beating Synthesis and Control.

Conclusion: MEHEM is the 2nd most popular ending after Destroy. It is now a cornerstone of ME endings. It may not be artsy, but it is what people enjoy playing. To exclude it out of this topic, reeks of Synthesis elitarianism, and it pleases me that most posters on the front page ignore the op's suggestion to exclude it.

Preferred ending: MEHEM
Second Choice: Uninstall

Explanation: I find all the endings are so horrific that I feel like I've done something wrong in choosing them. I'd rather simply not play the game at all rather than have them forced onto my Shepard's story.

Yes because people couldn't possibly actually mean what they say, I mean what sort of silly person RPs that their shepard set out to find a way to destroy the reapers and refuses to turn back on his or her mission because the outcome isn't perfect.

Believe it or not some people actually RP that decision, and in that case it has nothing to do with wanting shepard to live.

[Bizantura]

If I toss an ending out of the airlock it would be controll and synthesis. That leaves a refuse in the catalyst face and lead to a destroy of reapers the conventional way.

I'm pretty sure everyone who picked Synthesis had Control as their second choice and vice-versa.

I don't know, but I've just had my prejudices about Destroyers confirmed by the number of "Destroy or turn the game off" responses. Damned fundamentalists.

Your prediction fits me though:

First choice: Synthesis.
Second choice: (Paragon) Control
Reasons: I consider it possible to get a similar kind of future with Control as I get with Synthesis, depending on the character traits of this Shepard. I consider it important that the legacy of past cycles and the knowledge bound up in the Reapers does not get destroyed, and that synthetics aren't destroyed since whatever organics may have learned from the geth/quarian conflict must not be forgotten.

Exactly. The accusations of stagnation have more to do with a lack of imagination - and with ignoring the epilogue which explicitly says post-Synthesis civilization will continue to advance, and actually more than in the other scenarios. 

[Phatose]

Picked Synthesis, second choice is control.

Destroying the Reapers was never my goal. Stopping them was, and that was just a specific method to the actual goal of "Preserve as much life as possible." Control is next in line on that priority list.

[Sir George Parr]

Preferred: none of them. destroy is the only one that i accept as the best of the dreadful and sinister options on offer. The only way to win is not to play it in the first place.
