They reapers win by numbers alone. Here's a post explaining how many they might have at the start of this cycle. The only way to defeat them is to find the plans to the crucible, build it and use it before the reapers enter the galaxy.
But only the Reapers can use the Crucible...
So it's the Reapers who choose Control, Synthesis, or Destroy then? I missed that.
The Reapers offered these options. We did not know anything about the possibilities of the Crucible. We did not know how to use the Crucible. Everything happened under full control of the Reapers.
It doesn't happen under full control of the Reapers. Organics built it, transported it, and docked it.
Once it was docked, the Catalyst ran through the options and gave them to Shepard.
The Сatalyst said Shepard that the Crucible is a huge source of energy... and nothing more. Options are part of the Catalyst. They are not part of the Crucible.
Shepard then has to choose the options. Shepard is the only one who can actually make a choice to do anything.
Yes. But he has chosen within the limitations set by the Catalyst.
So no, the Reapers can't "use" the Crucible. Only an organic can.
The Citadel is part of the Catalyst. Why didn't he prevent the opening of the Citadel? I don't understand it still.

Organic, controlled by the Reapers. Establishing limits is also a form of control. And a form of using.
Because it's part of the Catalyst's programming.
I thought about this version. But making changes to the program without having access to it is impossible.
Access to the code of the Catalyst had only creators of the Catalyst. All other races in other cycles couldn't do the autopsy on the Catalyst. They were his victims.
Catalyst creators could establish a direct prohibition to harm them. It's easier than changing the program with a help of complicated device. They didn't do it and died.
Other races also were not able to do it without access to the program of the Catalist (even with the help of complicated device).
So I do not believe that the Catalyst can be changed with a help of the Crucible.

Okay. What are you arguing then?
I have my own opinion about the events, that happened at the end of the game. It is written in the first two messages of the topic. May be it is wrong... But I can not create something else.
Well then. This was productive. Have a good day.
Because the Reapers still can't use the Crucible.
Reapers can be defeated. By Cains or Fleets.
The Reapers can be defeated if you lot got off your lazy asses and helped unlocking the secret ending by playing the multiplayer.

Then why do we need the Crucible?
Beats me.

You are a Reaper?
Are you high?
Are you high?
In the end of the game I had the level of Galactic Readiness equal 100% and more than 8,000 military resources.
What secret ending are you mean?
I cannot tell - it is a secret after all.
