That wasn't really weird though. Sovereign explained in the first game they only harvest civilizations that are advanced, IE space travel, etc....and all this other extra shyt wasn't planned until late in the 3rd game. So they had 2+ games to come up with a better reason why the Reapers exist.

That's why Synthesis doesn't fit. If they had it planned since the first game, they could've dropped clues....but it wasn't planned, that's why the first two games you fight people (Saren and The Illusive Man) that want to "control" or "join" (synthesis) the Reapers. If we're going by what makes sense in the context of the series, Destroy should be the only "correct" choice.

Fred.

Destroy is the "correct" choice in the short-term. In the long-run organics would create new synthetics like the reapers that would threaten their existence and the cycle would continue again. Synthesis is the answer to ending the cycle.

The clue from the beginning was that the Reapers did not wipe out all traces of organic life in one fell swoop - which they were more than capable of doing. They left less advance civilizations intact which lead me to believe that they weren't completely mindless killing machines - that there was some rationale behind their actions. A rationale we didn't understand until speaking with the ghost kid.

No man lol.

You're retroactively applying the logic of the last 5 minutes of the game to the entire series....the problem with that is when they wrote 1 and 2 that wasn't what they intended....you were supposed to destroy the Reapers....not work with them....not try to control them....neither of those were ever presented as a remotely plausible option, until a new character popped up in the last 5 minutes of "ME3" and starting retconning large chunks of the story.

They pulled this plot out of their ass towards the end of "ME3". It wasn't planned, at all. Peep that "Making of ME3" that Gametrailers did.

Honestly I never played the first Mass Effect. But judging from the 2nd and 3rd, which is what i'm going on, it made perfect sense imo. They didn't kill all organics, only the advance ones - that to me was enough to clue me in that things weren't as they seemed.

:manny:

I watched the refusal
LOL Shep got murked repeat the cycle

Control
:ohhh: damn my renegade shep was bossed up! Controlling the reapers keeping nikkas in line

Destroy
This is the ending I'm going to choose for my Paragon shep, :pacspit: the reapers, it's interesting though, they don't specifically mention the Geth being dead and they also don't say anything about EDI, was Starchild lying?

Overall I liked the endings but I didn't hate the originals that much to begin with
Is there any added dialogue before the ending, like talking to TIM or anything?

Edit:
WAtched the synthetic ending
:stopitslime: that was weak, how is that supposed to be the best ending? :pacspit: one good thing I guess is that all the ending seem acceptable now

I never beat ME3 so I started the game over with the new DLC and playing as Adept instead of Vanguard. game is *much* more fun to me as an adept, plus all the practice I put in multiplayer is paying off huge.

Top 3 game of the year.

I don't care what anyone says mass effect 3 is the game of the generation and the game by which all other 3rd person shooters are to be judged.
It's got gears beat, ghost recon beat, only game coming close to it is Uncharted 2 but I think it even has that beat bc playing through the single player with different classes is a pretty different experience.

what is Adept exactly?

I never used that class.....only classes I really liked so far are Vanguard and Engineer

Adept focuses mostly on Biotic powers:



What's cool about the job is they can do combos that will cause an explosion....like Singularity + Warp, Pull + Reave, etc.

I need to stop you right there then.

The main villain from the first game, Saren, would rather commit suicide than continue to work with the Reapers. And this is a guy that promoted "Synthesis", he let them experiment on him extensively....and he killed himself because he knew it was a bad decision.

In the second game The Illusive Man secretly wants to use Reaper tech to further man-kind....how does that work out for him in part 3? He's a mindless pawn for the Reapers.

So no....at no point in the series was it ever even hinted at that working with or joining the Reapers was a good idea....even being around Reaper tech was enough to drive most people insane.
