And yeah Garrus calibrating HIS cannon, that is also... something.

Shoot the tubes and let out the red laser. It's what my Shepard was destined to do.

Too bad Shepard went to close to it. Great, 50,000 Platinum down the drain from healing my scars!

But Liara will find you no matter what; you know how she is. And that medical unit still exists in the Med Bay, right? It should still work. I mean FTL drive still works. So your scars should be healed just fine.

I'm sure Shepard's gonna need a couple of months before proceeding onto plastic surgery.

[RanetheViking]

But why? Why you didn't like the other two? 

Well Control seemed too 'sappy'. And after 3 games fighting the Reapers? what, you get to become the Reaper Lord or something?.

 

And Synthesis, I actually chose that the first time I played,  was too much like a "everybody becomes best buddies with a green glow" fairytale ending.

 

Destroy is the choice for my Sheps.

 

Just my opinion.

Not a problem. Liara finds you.

 

And you helped out Miranda because this shot came up right when she asked for your help....

 

 

So all should be fine.

[DeinonSlayer]

High EMS Destroy > Control > Low EMS Destroy >>>>>>>>>>>> Synthesis > Refuse

That's a hell of a gamble.

Hi, I know this has been discussed zillion of times, but since I finished the game just yesterday... I tried all three endings and I chose the organics-syntetics-happy-live-together one. Except for creepy green glowing eyes and some facial marks... I think this is the best ending in the game. As Catalyst points out "ultimate solution". And the destruction of Reapers is the worst except that is the only ending where you keep Shepard alive in his own body. All endings are good endings. One will make you "ascend" but loose your body. The other will make you die but unite organics and syntetics. The third one will kill syntetics and leave you alive in your body. My reasons is that one life is worth sacrificing against billions even if it's your life. Controlling option was second best. I think that the middle one is the best choice. Except for glowing green eyes... I don't think those would be really necessary in real life

This game is so good you can build a psychological profile of someone play the game based on choices he makes. 

Which ending did you choose and why? 

MEHEM

 

Because Shepard, and the galaxy,  deserved better.

[katamuro]

I chose destroy because the others feel too much like interfering with the natural order. After all the whole idea of the fight was to get rid of the controlling influence of Reapers on the the galactic scale. Plus both green and blue just feel creepy. 

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

That's a hell of a gamble.

 

What? You question my logic? The only problem you could have is if you sided with Jack and didn't warn her about Kai Lame and help her save Oriana. In those cases she could be dead, in which case your odds of survival would be small.

 

But... there is another option... See there is "the clone" and if there was one clone, there is perhaps another. And Liara, IF you were wise and took her gift, she has your soul in her mind, and can meld and implant all of your memories into a new clone before it is awakened.

MEHEM

A saccharine fanfic which, while technically impressive, does nothing to correct the real problems.

...sounds kinda like a whimper when you say it. "Mehem."

[Mister J]

Control is too utopian for me: a galaxy that is being ruled by a mechanical god who can solve everything with his Reapers is gonna be a boring place for all future action heroes. Synthesis...  that's just weird.

 

So destroy is the best option for me: the galaxy just goes on the way it was before the Reapers and that is how I like it. For that reason I also think that if one of the endings has to be canon in ME4 I think it will have to be Destroy... It also is the most satisfying for me; to see the Reaper bastards fall dead and have Shepard be somewhat alive. 'Nothing is worse than death, for with death all hope is lost...' I think it was Genghis Khan who said that, or maybe it was someone else, I don't know...

[dreamgazer]

 

Without meta-gaming, none of my Shepards trust the other options and can't stray from the finality of overloading the Reapers for good. The galaxy will take the sacrifices/blowback of the war and incorporate them into their perspective on artificial intelligence, whether it's to recreate and constrain their programming or take the cautionary tale more literally.  

[KaiserShep]

Destroy, because I love the smell of burning reapers in the morning, and I have a strict kill all overlords policy.

[SporkFu]

Having tried out all the endings in numerous playthroughs, I think I'd have to go with Destroy. Shep lives/EDI doesn't. Geth gone/Reapers gone. It's a fair trade. When the catalyst said its "solution won't work anymore." I figured it was clean slate time. Let us figure out how to deal with future synthetics on our own. 

[Vlad Shepard]

Oh I remember this one. I was thinking "did they do it on purpose???". Not that I mind it ... Still was funny. 

[Vlad Shepard]

I am still undecided which ending is the right ending. I think it depends on what kind of person you are. Genuine real Shepard I think he would go for destroy. Because many his friends died, Illusive Man was one of examples that you can not control Reapers, and green-eye happy ending is something unnatural. I would translate endings into: 

a) I want all the power and make it my way (Control)

b )  Either way I want to destroy reapers (Destroy)

c) I like happy endings (organics and syntetics love each other). 

That is clear. I am still thinking where am I. Sounds they are all equally good, but at the same time - equally bad. 

Btw interesting thing. In the ending you remember all key people you have lost. So in ending a) I saw Thanes, Mordin, Legion. in c) I just saw Thanes and Legion but not Mordin - I am curious why. Mordin was the person I was most attached to of all friends I have lost.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Could you walk me through that? If you believe that Destroy does what it's said to do, why can't Control be trusted to do what it's said to do? (I can see Synthesis being too vague to pick) Is the risk there Shepard himself?

If I wanted saccharine, I'd pick Synthesis where everything is perfect and green and happy and green and magical and green and everybody is friends and lives forever in a green happy ever after.

 

And did I mention green? 

 

Nothing can solve ME3's problems, but I'll settle for removing the Catalyst and letting the synthetics live.

In so many words, yes. 

 

Beyond the trepidation of reliably interfacing with the Reapers themselves, there's also the fear of ReaperShep doing precisely what the Catalyst did: take its initial good-intention programming parameters and getting "creative" in its new digital form to combat the galaxy's problems (not just in observing the organic-synthetic balance).  Once the transition of its memories and thoughts happens, you're losing agency over what the digital transfer of Shepard will ultimately do with them, and s/he's going to have a lot of time on his/her hands and a lot of knowledge in the Reapers' databanks for easy reference.

 

Gaining control of the Reapers to end the war may be a concern given the universe's unflattering examples of harnessing control of synthetics and tapping directly into Reaper technology, but it's only one hurdle. What really concerns me is what happens after they've been controlled, what "balance" and "order" looks like through its eyes and with billions of years of context (other memories, thoughts, and knowledge) informing its purpose of creation, and with machines designed for destruction at its disposal.

 

Basically, what'd happen if a singularity event occurred where the advanced intelligence had mecha-Cthulhu at the ready? 

[Undead Han]

Destroy.

 

It was the mission objective all along and the only option that resolves the Reaper War with a military victory. Refuse is an outright defeat, and Control and Synthesis are a form of stalemate. I prefer to have Shepard delete the mass murdering A.I rather than leave it control of the galaxy (Synthesis) or have Shepard become a verson of it. (Control) 

 

It also is by far the the ending that gambles least with the galaxy's future.

[zestalyn]

copy & paste from an old post of mine: 

For me, Destroy is the ideal ending because that's what the entire galaxy had been fighting for at cost of many lives and resources- to destroy the Reapers for good, and end the cycle for once. My personal problem with Control and Synthesis is that there are too many unknowns. And it feels cheap to join hands with the beings that tried destroying us for thousands of years. 

If I was in Shepard's shoes, I wouldn't trust letting the Reapers to continue existing because who knows to what extent indoctrination can have effect. There's just so much you don't fully understand about the Reapers, or the Catalyst, that I don't believe it's a risk worth taking, especially after all the people who gave their lives to the war. If you do choose Destroy, still, everything about the war, as well as the conflict between the geth and quarians, will go down in history, and you can hope that future generations will learn from that. 

History kept repeating itself because of the Reapers. By destroying them, the galaxy can continue existing and for the first time ever, act on the lessons learned from the geth/quarian war, and the Reapers' intentions.
