I don't think Synthesis is an asspull at all. Synthesis is /disturbing./ It's changing peoole irreparably without their consent and without knowing what the unintended consequences might be. It's beating the Reapers by turning everyone into them.

And what about all of the creatures of war the Dealers have created? They have to stay in those bodies and live with all of the dreadful impulses they've been programmed with /forever./ I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them killed themselves. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other people in the universe couldn't deal with what had been done to them and took their own lives.

It definitely looks like it's a "good" option but really, it's as fucked up as the other two. There are a lot of people who won't choose it because it makes them the most uncomfortable. A mere asspull wouldn't make people feel like that.

Dealers should be Reapers. Wtf autocorrect.

That's a really interesting take on synthesis! I kind of like it that way, and while my headcanon is more of a fixit situation because I'm a sucker for good endings, I would totally read a fic with this as a premise when in the mood for something dark.

I don't think that's how it was intended in canon, and even if your interpretation makes sense (and it makes more sense than the way it was written, tbh) it still felt like an asspull to me because of the way it was portrayed and implemented in the game. Eh.

And what about all of the creatures of war the Reapers* have created? They have to stay in those bodies and live with all of the dreadful impulses they've been programmed with /forever./

I never thought of those as actually being alive? I thought they were kind of like zombies, powered by technology but actually made up of dead bodies. Functionally speaking they seem to me to be more like VIs than actual sapient life. Or do you think that would change with synthesis? :|a

*saw your correction, but that was pretty funny at first. I wasn't sure what you were referring to, and ironically it made me think of the collectors.
