Re: Let's talk about MASS EFFECT!!!!!

DA

It kind of feels to me like the whole 'btw it'll also kill EDI and the geth' thing was kind of chucked in last minute because the writers looked at their test audiences and realized that almost no one was going to choose either of the other options. Especially since they swore up and down that no, none of the choices destroy the mass relays (unless you have approximately 0 war assets and then you can only choose Destroy and it blows up everything), which are...also Reaper tech. AKA the entire reason Destroy is supposed to nuke your synthetic buddies. Okay then.

The way you feel about Control is how I feel about Synthesis (and also Control), though - Saren attempted to integrate with the Reapers in order to make sure at least some of the galaxy survived. It was proof that he was crazy and Indoctrinated and evil...but if we do it, it's okay and everything works out? What the shit?

It didn't feel like it to me. I mean, by that logic, Legion was chucked into 2 last minute because he changed the information about the Geth so drastically.

You met Legion at the midpoint of a three-part trilogy, and the new information he brings plays a significant role in the third game, regardless of whether you keep him or ship him off to be experimented on by Cerberus.

That's a bit different than something that comes up amidst a storm of nonsense in the last five minutes of the trilogy.

To be fair, you then got a good long while to decide whether Legion was what he appeared to be or if it was a big stunt on the part of the Geth or what-have-you. You had no such time with the StarChild. It was just...oh hey literally everything you've been told so far is wrong and I'm totally right so listen to me! now please just roll with this staggering new information and decide the fate of the galaxy. :)

To be fair, the Mass Relays do stop working in the Destroy ending. They don't blow up, but they're also effectively nuked in the sense that, IIRC, they stop functioning entirely.

No, they're not - in all of the endings, they're damaged but can be repaired. They're only rendered completely nonfunctional if they explode in the low war asset ending.
