ah, I worded myself badly.

True, but a lot of people DID die, crew members and civilians and others, including those you killed. It is already messy and violent. And people died in the final fight, LOTS of people. It's not like they were ever going to come out completely fine.

What I meant is "everyone" as in, every race/general group of people. The galaxy will eventually be able to recover, life will go on, etc.

The options for me were a) genocide, b) creepy control (that also, weirdly, challenged my suspension of disbelief even more than synthesis) or c) an asspull.

But again, to each their own and all.

I don't know about you, but Control challenged my suspension of disbelief because it was offered as a serious, successful option literal minutes after it was proven to be an absolutely terrible idea that wouldn't work in either the short or the long term. And the only explanation given for why it would work for Shepard was basically "oh, well, you're the hero :D".

It felt like they weren't even trying to make it plausible, it was just "okay, here's your rule the galaxy with an iron fist option. Next!"

To me it was more like, how would that even work??? It just seemed implausible. Which is weird because it's not really any more implausible than synthesis - probably less so though they're both SUPER out there - but something about it hit that "no way would that work" button for me before I really stopped to think about it.
