What happens if i choose synthesis

This is what Synthesis does, it turns the entire galaxy into the Reapers slaves as was illustrated by this in game evidence. If the Reapers were working towards a peaceful solution, they would have allowed and even encouraged the harmony between the Zha'til and the Zha.

This just goes to show you that Synthesis is not possible. The ending is a lie. JasonShepard wrote No offence mate, BUT: you are entitled to your interpretation of the ending just as I'm entitled to mine. So please don't go around telling people that their ending is the wrong one.

By my interpretation, then Synthesis, Control and Destroy all came from the Crucible, not the Catalyst, and all of them are valid endings to the game.

None of them are tricks. RiouHotaru wrote Synthesis is a one of those "ascending-to-a-higher-plane" style of ending, which tends to be fairly esoteric. What Synthesis really is. I love you Liggy. Also, we need more Harbinger.

Personally I just prefer Destroy because I'd rather not give everyone that big of a leap forward. I'd rather organics get there by themselves. User Info: SteveDogg. The "best" ending is actually the ending that Bioware never gave us. GT: Stevedawg User Info: mudkip Plus Catalyst Shepard is the one leading the Reapers in control, while Synthesis risks the fact that they still have free reign.

Also, the Synthesis ending has the Citadel explode, while it survives Control. Sure it gets rebuilt, but some people probably died in it. And I still prefer Destroy. User Info: JulesCorn. Synthesis is presented as the best ending. But I don't buy into it. It's too happy and nonsensical. I see your point but I feel like syntgesis is the only ending that resolves the original problem: organics vs synthetics.

That's why I felt destroy was the worse, its a short term solution that can simply just lead to another synthetic war.

User Info: LazHarshaw. They are not alive. They are not lifeforms. In fact the term synthetic is not used correctly once in the entire franchise. Synthetic organisms are living, biological entities that were created in a lab, rather than evolving naturally. The only confirmed sythetics in the franchise are the virus the Collectors gave the Vorcha, and to some extent, the Kett.

What the synthesis ending is actually suggesting is that you are choosing to body-rape everyone in the galaxy with reaper implants they neither want nor need, while simultaneously stuffing meat into perfectly functional machines and computers. As for destroy, Bioware's ignorant iteration is far worse than you think. That energy wave from the crucible cannot magically differentiate from computers with AI programs and Computers with non AI prgrams.

It cannot even magically tell a circuit in a computer from one in any other electronic device. Bioware's crucible is essentially sending out some sort of super-powered EMP that can't be shielded against. Bioware is also killing everyone aboard every ship, station, asteroid or powered habitat in the galaxy as lose have all just lost power. The Quarians, along with any volus not currently on a habitable planet are also going extinct because their suits just got bricked.

If that's not enough, all biotics including all Asari are going to die ore be paralyzed when their bio-amps short out against their spinal cords and brain stems. Might as well throw in that everyone relies on technology that is now dead, so no telling how may more trillions are going to die in the ensuing months as they suddenly find themselves scrabbling for survival in a new stone age amongst the ruins of their shattered world.

The Krogan and Vorcha will probably manage, but everyone else is well and thoroughly extinct. The better alternative is to accept that Bioware were idiots focused more on justifying gameplay than telling a coherent story, and rationalize a more sensible and plausible outcome. If the leviathans were smart enough to create an AI in the first place, they would have also created a safeguard against that AI - the crucible.

Now realistically, if you can create an AI you are going to put hundreds of overlapping safeguards and kill switches in place to stop that program from going rogue; and it will be hard wired to be incapable of perceiving most of those defenses, much less allowed to do anything to circumvent them. But this was a marginally less silly Star Wars space opera written by people who had only ever done fantasy before so I'll let that slide.

Though it does explain why the Reapers didn't just fly over and destroy the crucible as soon as it arrived. They are programmed to be incapable of destroying their own kill device or even seeing it as a threat. So, as long as you took enough time and gathered enough resources to get the thing built properly, It will do what it was always designed to do - neutralize Reaper tech, and only Reaper tech. Even if the ending doesn't bother to show it, everybody and everything else is fine.
