JSG said: The extended endings are all vast improvements and I'm very satisfied. Sure, it doesn't fix all my problems with the Star Child's existence, but they weren't going to do that and to think they would is stupid. They took the endings we got, make them better. They feel like proper endings now. So overall, fuck yeah. The new ending is my favorite, though. Troll or not, I fucking love it in the context of the story.
Darth Revan said: Okay, so Shepard dies, but unless you choose Destroy, that's always the case, and I don't care how many Paragon points you have - peace achieved by the betrayal of the Geth and EDI is not something any Paragon should ever even consider. Â
Inquisitor said: I disagree. I was 80% Paragon in my playthrough and this was the only viable option I could think of for my Shepard. My mission from the moment I stepped foot on Eden Prime and disabled those bombs Saren set up was to destroy the Reapers. My Shepard didn't know it at that moment, but that was his mission. And he was a solider through and through. I get the idea that betraying the Geth and EDI by choosing Destroy does present a bit of an ethical conflict, but my Shepard understood that there would be sacritices in this war. But he had a mission - which was to save the galaxy by destroying the Reapers. My Shepard didn't trust the control option because he couldn't ethically accept the power he fought so hard to stop the Illusive Man from obtaining. To choose that option would make him a hypocrite, and my Shepard was not a hypocrite. He may have had to make some morally questionable decisions at times, but ultimately he was a man guided by principle and values. My Shepard couldn't choose Synthesis either because it was not his place to tell the rest of the galaxy that they would evolve into a new string of being because he was afraid to make a tough choice that would require sacrifice. No, my Shepard chose to destroy the Reapers because to him - it was the only ethical option available, and he knew there would be sacrifice. My Shepard also brokered peace between the geth and quarians, and turians, and krogan. So he didn't believe the StarChild when he said that if he chose to the destroy the Reapers synthetics would rise again and wipe out organics. Maybe they would, but my Shepard had already proved the StarChild wrong and he wasn't about to abandon his mission and play God in ways he didn't feel qualified to do. Â
CaButler said: For my Shepard, Destroy is the only one that makes sense. For this war, he has killed, negotiated and died for these people. So when he's given the option to control the Reapers or turn everything synthetic, how does it respond? If this was possible, this would be my Shepard's response: "Ha ha, no. *bang bang*"
Inquisitor said:If the Mass Relays could be repaired why couldn't EDI and the geth?Â
Onyx said: Legion's body can be repaired/restored quite easily. The thing is the AI in it. If Destroy wipes out the AI, that's that. You can always make a new one, but it won't quite be the same
