Surely you didn't expect anything else?

For me it's hard to pick a second option... the way I see it, the three non-refuse endings are actually split into two categories. Trust starkid / don't trust starkid. So while it is fairly simple for someone who already trusts starkid to pick a second option in the same category, it is more difficult for a non-truster to do so. However, laying that aside for the sake of the thread, here's my response.

-----

Preferred Ending: Destroy
Second Choice: Control
Explanation for Second Choice:
*taps mic* Attention Reaper forces, this is your new Captain speaking. Please cease and desist all attacks. Go ahead and repair all the Mass Relays as you make your way  to the Omega 4 relay. Go jump in a black hole. 

Thank you, that will be all.

*sips cyber coffee for eternity*

Sorry, I didn't like your post, so I downloaded a mod to change it.


Sounds good to me.  It means you can think for yourself.  I'm going to go so far and say that you are supporting Yestare7's point.

That would mean I'd be faced with the original ending choice. Despite the horrible, horrible traumatic experiences associated with that, I thought about this one.

Preferred Ending: Refuse
Second Choice: Destroy
Explanation for Second Choice:
Despite how ready I am to defend Synthesis and Control and criticize Destroy for being just as horrible, this is gonna be the one I'm going with, simply because it has the least permanent effect on the universe. I wouldn't kid myself: The Geth as we know them are gone for good. A race that has only recently started to become intelligent - so much lost potential. If I survive, there's no way I'd just gonna keep going on with my life like that, as most people headcanon for their Shepard. I'd devote my life to bring the Geth back - even if that means dealing with the worst the galaxy has to offer - Citadel politicians.

I admit, I actually missed the "don't count MEHEM" request, though the "because it's fanfiction" was a rather dismissive attitude about it.

Nevertheless, Would me saying

"First choice: Uninstall
Second choice: Uninstall

Reason: All the choices make me feel hollow"

... really have made any difference?

There may be no Shepard without Vakarian, but as far as I'm concerned, without MEHEM, there is no ME3, Bioware had two chances to make endings I can get behind, defend, and debate the merits of. And they blew it, big time. Another filled a needed demand. "Found another way:" in true Mass Effect fashion.

So, yeah, without MEHEM, for me, there is no second chocie, nor even a first choice. And if that makes me a "Damned fundamentalist", then in the words of another ending:

SO BE IT!!!

Yeah how dare people want an outcome that's been hinted at for the entire trilogy to come to fruition. How dare they.

Seriously?

First choice: Destroy
2nd choice: Destroy
3rd choice: pretend Citadel DLC is ending after a conventional victory
4th choice: Refuse with a Destroy in the next cycle
5th choice: just go back to playing ME2 and hoping a totally different ME3 comes out sometime.

Prefer: Destroy
2nd choice: Control

Reason: I personally prefer Destroy, but feel Control (paragon) is the most responsible ending you can achieve. You keep the Krogan in line, police the Geth, rebuild the mass relay network and stand on guard for everyone against extra-galactic threats.

No MEHEM allowed? Very well.

2nd preferred:Destroy
other choice:Control

Fits my Kaidan romancer very well as she has viewed her self as a protector of the galaxy.

Synthesis is not even an option for me.

Prefer: Destroy
Option 2: Paragon Control

Save everyone, can ensure peace, resolve any conflict, a great ending.

I didn't pick control because I wanted the reapers dead, and I value freedoms a bit more than saving everyone and everything.

Preferred Ending: Destroy
Secondary Ending: Refuse

Why Refuse? If I can't destroy the Reapers and end the problem forever, I can at least go out with my soul intact. Simple as that. The costs for all the other options are simply too high.

Preferred Choice: Paragon Control
Second Choice: Destroy

Explanation: A majority of my Shepards (7 of 12) have chosen Destroy, but MY preferred outcome is Paragon Control which is actually closest to status quo (plus Shepard continues). Destroy may preserve the status quo as far as species (minus Geth) goes, but it also deals a severe setback to the galactic infrastructure.

As an added note in this thread, it is a little bit alarming the number of Kirks there are here on BSN.

Destroy is my preferred ending. Second place goes to Destroy, with Destroy and Destroy pulling up the rear in 3rd and 4th.

Suffice it to say, if I can't blow the Reap Show to hell, I have no use for the ending.

Destroy would be my first choice because the reapers are an abomination and my shep has faith that organics need not be so foolish and this 'singularity' conflict need not be inevitable. Synthesis would be second I guess, because it would still stop the war even if the reapers deserve to be destroyed, not pacified. Control would be last because it would stop the war, for now, but shep knows no one person can be entrusted with that kind of power. Just like Gandalf refuses to take the One Ring, it has to go to Mordor.

Refuse is not an option, is just dumb.

I'm kind of weird in the sense that control is my favorite ending, but not my canon Shepard's ending. My canon Shepard chose destroy because it matched better on how I created his character. I don't make choices based on my personal morals and values. I make choices based on what makes for a good story, and keeps in line with the character I designed at the beginning So going by my canon character

Preferred: Destroy
2nd Choice: Control

Control is a great send off for Shepard in my opinion. It has him sacrifice him/herself for the greater good in order for Shepard to achieve what he/she feels is the most peaceful solution. Also even though Shepard dies his/her memory lives on as a protector of the galaxy.

To me, even choosing Destroy requires putting at least some trust in the AI.  And if you're willing to go that far, why not go all the way?

Preferred Choice: Control, either flavor
Secondary Choice: Destroy

Reason: Synthesis is, as I see it, "too easy." Sure, there are still unresolved issues, but the state the galaxy reaches, and so quickly, just smacks of "Disney." That, and, with the science, or lack thereof, surrounding it I simply find the choice to implausible to take seriously, leaving me with Destroy and Refuse.

Refuse is, in my opinion, stupid. Go ahead, throw your speeches about self-determination and mistrust at me. I've weighed them all and come to this conclusion after careful thought. Destroy, while barbarous and unnecessary, is still better than what is essentially the continued annihilation of life over one person's sense of honor, morals, or ethics. Which is, in and of itself, unethically neglectful.

Thus, I view Destroy as the lesser evil (after Control) and will pick it with little hesitation.

I get what you're saying. I'll try and explain my thinking...

Since ME3 is a game, you have to follow the game "rules" somewhat. No matter what choices you make, the general path of the game is decided in advance by the story writers, that's a very broad example of what I mean by "rules".

When the catalyst is explaining the different options to you, the game itself actually plays cut scenes (or at least when I played it did, maybe part of the EC?) to show you what each choice will look like. So in essence, I felt that the game itself was pulling me out of the character world and saying, "Look, here's what you do to follow the choice the catalyst is describing."

I trust that the devs were giving me an accurate tutorial, if you will, of how to accomplish each choice that the catalyst set out. Now as to what the catalyst actually said, I didn't put much stock in it... so, would destroy actually destroy? Synthesis actually synthesize? Or control actually control? I believe so, because the game itself pointed that way... but would everything the catalyst said come to pass? I doubt it.

It's a different thing to trust a game mechanic than to trust what an in-game character says.

Preferred: Destroy
3rd least disliked ending: Control
Reason: I do not believe Godchild about the tech singularity presenting a real threat, and taking Control of the Reapers - assuming that this is possible - would actually address the problem of Reapers killing us right now. The cycles got started because the Reapers decided that killing us was best, and there is no reason to think that they won't keep or resume killing us if Synthesis is chosen.
[That is to say, Synthesis requires me to believe two highly dubious things - Synthesis being both possible and necessary to stop the tech singularity - whilst Control requires me to believe just one such thing - Control being possible. Refuse is nonsense since pressing the button cannot possibly make things any worse - the alternative is certain death]
