No, he doesn't act accordingly to the consensus in ME3. As I said, the consensus is under Reaper control.
I'm going to say that the Geth faced extermination from the Quarians and the Reapers. The Quarians are a more immediate threat to them, but regardless, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. The Reapers offered a way out. Yes they're going to kill them all the same.
Which leads me to the next point. Why do the Geth have to submit themselves to destruction?
You're saying that they have it coming. I disagree completely. It was entirely possible for the Quarians and Geth to achieve peace independently. As I stated, the Quarians are at fault for this. Legion states that siding with the Reapers would have been unnecessary had the Quarians not attacked.
The point is that the Geth were willing to allow the Quarians to return peacefully. I don't agree to the entitlement or claim the Quarians have. Especially since it was their own fault the entire conflict originated.
Yes, the first one was a neutral statement, that's all I was saying. Glad we agree so far

I think the critical point is just Rannoch. The Quarians need that planet and they need it desperately, with the Reapers coming they now need it more than ever. You can't sit on something that someone else desperately needs and then play innocent because all you wanted is to be left alone. You need to expect others to come back for what you took from them.
Even if the Geth were ready to talk, they never signaled such before. Killing everyone who enters Geth space is a clear signal. Remember Haestrom? Those Quarians didn't threaten any Geth, there was nothing but ruins where they landed, yet the Geth patrol that noticed them immediatly went into termination mode just because it happened in Geth space. Hell, there even once was
a pretty brutal warning of what happens when you enter Geth space. Of course that was the heretics, but how would the Quarians know? Only Tali does, and she tried to stop the attack and it was in vain. After the brutal genocide the Geth commited in the Morning War, do you blame the Quarians for considering them monsters, even if they aren't? (And I believe they aren't, I think the Morning War was a terrible misunderstanding)
The alliance with the Reapers, again, shows that Geth care about Geth and nothing else. Concentrating their population on Rannoch made them a target for desperate Quarians and they paid the price. Then, their choice was to die or to die and take the whole galaxy with them. I don't think they should submit themselves to extinction, I think they should not have provoked the Quarians with what they needed most. Even after it had went so far, the alliance with the reapers still does nothing but to prove the points of idiots like Gerrel and especially Xen.
The Geth just aren't better than this.
