[QUOTE=Sardonus;35113550]Another really interesting fact about this ending is this;
I've heard people defend the ending before. Fine and dandy.
Have yet to meet someone who is willing to defend the Reapers motivations.

I believe the idea was that Reapers [sp]killed intelligent life so that intelligent life wouldn't kill ALL life, ending life completely.[/sp]

I think the idea is rather than letting the cultures and everything they've done be lost when their own synthetics destroy them, [sp]the reapers come in and harvest the civilization, as in taking their genetic code, their technological information, history, and everything else about them and storing it so it isn't lost[/sp]
I'm not saying thats good its just not as simple as what the image says. [sp] You'd think they could do this without killing everything but I guess their method is also to prevent the rise of synthetics since they could pose a threat to the reapers and all organic life, not just technologically advanced societies.[/sp]

Reapers sincerely believe they're [sp]not killing organic life, just keeping them safe and snug in a Reaper shell.[/sp]
[sp] to be honest, the reapers do have a point. Remember the overlord DLC ? If Shepard wouldnt have shut it down it could have wiped out all life [/sp]
[sp]Why is everyone saying the destroying them ending is the good ending? It's clearly the renegade ending as it's on the red side, i would have thought that would make it obvious.
Either way the endings are pretty terrible.[/sp]

Oh, so I guess basing yourself on [sp] the color of explosion[/sp] you can accurately say what ending is the good one and what is the bad? Come on. That's stupid.
When did the Renegade shephard gave you the bad ending, anyway? That makes no sense.

Destroy is obviously the worst ending out there.
[sp]Genocide of the Reapers and Geth and all fucking technology seems pretty bad[/sp]
[sp]Control[/sp] is the only ending I feel that works out

[sp]Destroy, all tech destroyed, fucking dark ages (red)
Synthesis, tech-human monsters (green) neither here nor their

Because that's what a paragon would choose, because that's what the entire series was leading up to and because Bioware is dumb and made a shitty ending.

Husks have blue lights. Does that mean they're paragon too?

[sp]Yeah it's not like blue has represented good options throughout the entire series or anything.
Shepard dying is the good ending, it's self-sacrifice to make peace without having to kill all the geth and technology in existance.[/sp]

Yeah they're actually the good guys.

[sp]It is very clear by destroy being highlighted with a red light to be designated the renegade ending, but every choice in the game that is paragon is directly related to destroying the reapers, that is why many believe destroying them should be the paragon choice.[/sp]
[sp]The destroy ending is the canon one anyway, you can access it either you are renegade or not, it has multiple renderings, and it does what everyone wants.
Controlling the Reaper is in no way a good ending, because you don't even know if you really have the control over them, or they control you.
The synthesis ending is the best one, it's the last to get unlocked depending on your EMS. It also solves all the problems in the world with fucking space magic.[/sp]

[sp] I don't think it destroys all technology. When they say synthetics, they mean synthetic lifeforms like EDI, Geth and Reapers. The VIs, computers and espresso makers will be fine. [/sp]

[quote][B]Rumor: New Mass Effect 3 Characters Revealed?[/B]
[img_thumb]http://media1.gameinformer.com/imagefeed/featured/electronic-arts/bioware/masseffect3/DLCrumor/ME3dlcrumor610.jpg[/img_thumb]
An image posted on Reddit shows what appears to be some new DLC multiplayer characters for BioWare's Mass Effect 3.
The image, posted by by Reddit user "Chachoregard," shows the Batarian Soldier, Geth Infiltrator, Geth Engineer, Batarian Sentinal, Krogan Battlemaster, and Asari Justicar classes. The user claimed to have downloaded the pack of "test DLC" from the game's Developer server.
Many are speculating that this pack might be the DLC that was rumored to be tied to the purchase of Mass Effect 3 action figures.
We are awaiting comment from BioWare on the matter.[/quote]

[sp]How is this dumber than your post? You're basing yourself off a fucking colored explosions during the ending cutscene that has plenty of symbolism.
What does the Green represent then? It makes the world a perfect place to live, and it's not blue, it's green! [/sp]

[sp]Green is the color usually represented as being one with nature but green is also a representation of circuit boards and computer code. You can clearly see they chose green for synthesis because it brings those 2 views together.[/sp]

[sp]Yeah but that was before shepard knew the score. Would a good shepard really kill all geth in the universe along with EDI?
No he would sacrifice himself in order to save everybody.[/sp]

It still ties into your own rational judgment. Symbolism is to be interpreted freely by whoever tries to decipher it. Besides, [sp]This doesn't change much the fact that Synthesis makes the entire world perfect. [/sp]

I was literally thinking this morning how the Collectors Edition should've came with a Geth infiltrator. Best character ever.
[sp]You know the more I think about the endings the more pissed off I am.
Also in my playthrough Shepard negotiated peace between the quarians and the geth, and yet the Catalyst stated peace between organics and synthetics can't happen.
There should've been a way to Paragon smooth-talk him into believing otherwise, supported by what I did a few hours before that.
Then there could be an 'idyllic' ending where he decides to spare the galaxy, the Reapers leave, the Citadel and the relays are intact and everything's awesome.
Fucking BioWare. Come on.[/sp]
Dont forget, we cant rule out the [sp]Indoctrination theory.
Theres something more to this. We just need to find out more stuff about it.
Either that or keep asking bioware to get a new ending.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Jackald;35113814]I feel a renegade shepard would
[sp]seize power and become immortal (contorl the reapers)
Whereas the paragon would realise that no-body should have that power, not even him/her, and destroy the reapers[/sp][/QUOTE]
The Paragon Shephard has always been an icon of Free-will, of equity and comprehension. [sp]Taking control over a species to do his bidding just doesn't sit right. Plus, as you said, it's much more power than he would ever bargain with. The Synthesis ending makes a much better choice for Paragon shephard, sacrificing himself to make every species in the galaxy perfect. [/sp]

[sp]But he left with the reapers, probably never to return.
Paragon would know it wouldn't be worth the enialation of the geth and all technology.
Also i'm not defending this ending, i think it sucks big time.
All the work uniting the galaxy, saving the quarian homeworld atlast and reuniting them with the geth in peace, curing the genophage, all for nothing at all.[/sp]
[sp]I really hope this indocrination theory is correct and Bioware fixes their shit.
Just watched[/sp] [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynYgr1rqEec&feature=watch_response"]this[/URL][sp], some random dude having theories and they seem pretty logical, he explains how the "good" blue paragon option is now suddenly control the reapers according to TIMs plan and destroying the reapers is suddenly a big no no even tough that was the whole plan since ME1.
he also talks about the rubble which is clearly concrete or similar and not on par with the citadels material, and even if he/she would have glided away several miles from the citadel and landed in some random location that fall + pass trough atmosphere would have been fatal, especially seeing how I wasn't wearing a helmet on the citadel in my play-trough[/sp]
