Synthesis was actually very much in line with my overall goal in the series. Of all the endings, that was the only one that worked for me. So I wouldn't say it was narratively inconsistent, at least in my case.

My Shepard had literally solved the conflict between the Geth and their creators and they were total bros now so when the Starchild was all MACHINES WILL ALWAYS RISE UP TO DESTROY THEIR CREATORS IN AN ENDLESS CYCLE I was like... but I literally already solved that problem last Tuesday, also, that was a subplot among many in the series thus making it the ultimate focus of the entire narrative is weaksauce in the extreme

ALMOST as weaksauce as introducing a major and game-changing character (such as the Starchild) in the final act.

Just terrible, non-adaptive, shitty writing all around. Indoctrination Theory please, or else the story was just fucking ruined.

Plus you have Bioware writers on record saying that ID Theory was going to be canon until the lead writer unilaterally changed it because "too many people figured it out" and the slapdash railroading multi-hued horseshit was the result >>

Yeah son, not that I'm bitter or anything. But it is now impossible to think of a series that was once one of my favourites without a very bad taste in my mouth. I mean DXHR had an Endingtron 3000 pull-the-lever device, but it somehow didn't sour the whole thing because it was narratively consistent, and didn't betray core themes along the way.
