    oh my god BB

    what the hell
    I didn't read your spoiler because I haven't finished the game yet

  • OrikaeshigitaeOrikaeshigitae Registered User, ClubPA regular
    y'know, the ending really worked for me, i have to say
    i went in with 50% readiness, a bar that was completely filled with assets but only half-green because of the readiness, and a 'poor' chance of success

    no multiplayer, no extra shit, no real idea how galaxy at war worked (because i had no internet)

    it's basically the original underdog story. and through defaultshep's playthrough the theme of necessary and inevitable sacrifice is pounded again and again. so when the final extremity is reached and there is one thing in front of you and it is a destructable power conduit and you have a pistol, well

    time to empty that fucker into that conduit

    nothing else to do

    all of your heroic efforts and all those of the galaxy's near-infinite populations throughout history have left you just barely able to reach the finish line

    i won't be able to say until i get to play through it and the trilogy a few more times, but i suspect default shep's ending is the one that works the best

    Did you kill EDI and the geth?

    No?

    Did you write the ending?

    No?

    Then you're probably in the clear.

    Tali/Rannoch missions spoilers:
    So you know when you go into the geth consensus and see quarians, Shepard asks why s/he's seeing these ancient quarians wearing suits and Legion pulls out some bull about Shepard interpreting the memory cluster through her/his perspective, asking when Shepard has ever seen a suit less quarian, and Shepard's all like "point taken?"

    What's the excuse when Shepard has romanced Tali?

    Legion asks how many suitless quarians you've seen

    Shepard says "Well... one."

    And Legion says that that's not sufficient enough data for Shepard to have a mental concept of a suitless quarians or something

    Fucking hell. I only grew more annoyed with every excuse.
    honestly it is completely bizarre to me that they chose to not to show Tali's face at the end of Rannoch

    I am having trouble understanding that decision

    too much buildup i think

    when you have people undergoing chemical analysis to figure out how her sweat would taste

    you have gone too far

    the Illusive man's choice was paragon? man, I didn't see that coming at all

    it was a tough call for me between killing synthetics or fusing us

    and in the end I decided too much damage had already been done to galactic civilization, that we might never recover from what the reaper's did

    and I

    uh

    didn't want to kill the geth

    They get sucked into the Citadel and get blown up with the whole thing once the Crucible fires.

    So, yeah, they're pretty dead.

    The fact that TIM's option was the Paragon option hung me up for a bit, and I went with Synthesis as well.

    Then I figured "Fuck that, I'm Shepard, and I'm not going to turn everybody into a bunch of organic/synthetic hybrids without their consent, and I'm not a complete asshole like TIM anyway."

    Reload, ASSUME DIRECT CONTROL, peace for all time and everybody gets to determine their own path in the galaxy, without outside interference.

    I feel justified in my choice.

    The ending, no matter what you choose, festers. Destroy is best, I guess, since the whole indoctrination theory. But really, it's a shit ending. Picking the flavor of shit changes nothing.

    same here
    the difference between me taking control of the reapers and TIM taking control of the reapers is that It's Me Doing It. It's not a particularly good reason, but it works.

    she's the only person that could safely have sex with him. any clumsy organic body would accidentally crush his fragile frame.
    But EDI, with careful movements and machine precision, well now that would be his only chance of ever getting laid.

    What kinda terrible Shep wouldn't hook her bro up like that?

    Except you're killing an entire sapient species that just reached their true potential, and the AI who has saved your ass countless times.

    Not to mention you're basically endorsing the Catalyst's view of organic/synthetic relations by doing so.

    Besides, I'm not sacrificing an entire species and my best friend's love interest to save my own ass.

    Sorry, Renegade ending, you and I will never be.

    Ending spoilers
    There is no indication that destroying reapers will save your bacon. Far from it, the Catalyst hints that because you're partially synthetic, you're putting yourself at risk.

    Look, even if I didn't playfully ascribe to "Kill all Geths," they signed up to stop the Reapers. If you want to be non interventionists, fine, but the Geth showed up.
