Some of EDI's quotes from Synthesis ending debrief:
"I am alive"
"As a galaxy we can now live the lives we have wished for"
"Taking our first steps into a future in which organics and synthetics coexist peacefully (ok, not exactly what I said)
"With peace across the galaxy and unlimited access to knowledge" (exactly what I said)
"We will reclaim our world and the stars as the line between synthetic and organic disappears (exactly what I said - while showing the reaper tech bonding to molecules)
"We may transcend mortality itself" (implying that the hybrid beings eventually become immortal)
In Destroy,
Hackett says "the relays are severely damaged but we won". Considering the Reapers built them and they've been destroyed, seeing that they're restored its a bigger assumption than that they aren't. He goes on to say we can rebuild evrerything but then specifies the fleets, the cities, the homes..never mentions the relays.
As they stand, there's no way to reconcile the difference in the endings without deus ex machina / retcon. In Synthesis, everyone becomes "one", in Refuse, every space faring race is wiped out.
The only option open to the writers (barring "and then X happened and all of the choices were nullified") is to choose a canon ending or go with Indoctrination Theory. Since they're not going IT and they moved heaven and earth to not choose a canon ending, I don't see any solid storyline where they can do an actual sequel.
Synthesis"With peace
across the galaxy” of course there peace the reaper war is over and we resolve the
only other war that was going one in the game.
“Unlimited access to
knowledge" the reapers simple could be sharing their information freely or
everyone can have access an information network like the extranet.
“As the line between synthetic and organic disappears” the catalyst
said that “organic seek perfection through technology” and “Organics will be
perfected by integrating full with synthetic technology” organics weakness are their
physical limits meaning the synthetic technology would have to make them stronger,
faster, and able to do math faster but they would be not less "human".
“Synthetic will finally have
full understanding of organics” in other words emotions.
"We
MAY transcend mortality itself" may is the
keyword here as A. it did not happen yet and B, we are unsure of what form it
would take.
Nowhere did it say that they were one reaper hive mind and
EDI would not be using “I” when she talked about herself if it was true. And as
the tech was based off of Shepard who was not part of the reaper’s collective
conscious there would be no reason for it.
DestroyHe does say they can “rebuilt
EVERYTHING that was destroyed”
and “our homes, our world, our fleets and defenses. All of this and
MORE.” and
seeing as mass relays are what turns a year and more long trip to a few hours
or days trip I say that they are a top priority. Or they could just make better
FTL engines now that they don’t have the easy travel that was the relays.
Refuse Refuse could just not be allowed to be imported; it would be
like Shepard dying in ME2.
I pretty sure they have already said that, but I don’t remember
where, so don’t take my word for it.
I think you are just assuming the worst outcomes with the
endings when you should be assuming that they will work out in a way that lets
ME4’s story to take place. Take ME1's endings for example. they in no way helped or hurt Shepard trying to stop the reapers, they could easy have but they didn't.
The story also DOESN’T have to be bound to war or the reapers and
can be pretty much anything.
