After completing Legion's loyalty quest, "A House Divided," I'm somewhat confused by the fact that, during the conversation at the start of the mission, destroying the heretics is considered the paragon option and rewriting them the renegade; however, during the mission's final conversation, rewriting the heretics becomes the paragon option and destroying them the renegade choice. The only way I can see this shift explained is that either: A) the geth favor rewriting by a slight majority (573 in favor, 571 against), or you're killing a bunch of geth in order to ensure the other geth don't become infected by their thinking. However, neither of these options seem more paragon to me, in light of the fact that you're essentially brainwashing millions of geth in order to make the other geth stronger for the inevitable fight against the Reapers.

Does anyone have a more effective answer as to why the paragon/renegade choices appear to exchange places on this quest?

P. S. Also, where is the search function on these forums?

-SI

What if the bad geth were not actually worshiping the Reapers out of free will but were instead altered by the Reapers. You could just be giving them back their free will.

The way I see it, rewriting them is the "lesser evil", 'cos if you destroy their main base, it says they'll want revenge

About halfway through the mission there is a window into a server room that allows you to start a conversation with Legion. During that dialog Legion pulls some data from the server that changes the alignment of the choice.

That is odd.



IMO the paragon option would be the 'brainwashing' - it's like 'fixing' an insane person almost. You can argue it has ramifications on free-will, but if free-will is simply a culmination of knowledge, experience mixed into a conscious mind then perhaps it's not as hallowed as we think.

Well at first it sounds like Legion will brainwash them but Legion explains later that hes only rewriting the part that makes them a danger to other Geth and Organics. I find that okay, its like why we have prison systems; to protect us from dangerous individuals we take away others freedoms.

Other than that, does everything have to be paragon or renegade?

The Geth are just robots. I see nothing immoral about either choice.

Legion agreed with that.

Think about it this way though; you essentially give them a choice to be a threat in the future by going the way of Paragon. Going by the previous decision with the rachni, if you allow the heretics to realign with the geth, then there is a possibility that everything goes to hell in a handbasket later. Legion spoke of this when you explore the option of all geth sharing memories. Plus, if these geth were altered, who's to say they won't again. So, it would seem to me that since the choice turns into either demolishing them (ala rachni) or saving them and hoping for the best.



If you saved the rachni in ME1, then you'll have a possible "oh ****" moment on Ilium when you discover that the rachni were perhaps tainted by the Reapers. Who's to say that won't occur again as well? You could then think of destroying the geth as reparation for allowing the rachni to live; weakening the geth weaken the reapers' options of influence.

Why don't we all just kill ourselves so the reapers have noone to manipulate.
