Genocide of artificial intelligence? I'd take that over essentially forcing everything organic and non-organic into becoming "one."

"Hey Banshee, you remember being an Asari right? How many folks you kill as a Banshee? Fun tims yeah? Ah the good ol' days of war!" or "Hey Husk! 'sup man! Remember how you got turned into a husk and then killed that farmer and his family? What was that like?" or "Hey buddy Quarian, you never did like Geth unless it died, so how do you like sharing more than just your existence with it/them?"

I chose Synthesis the first time through because of my affection for Legion, but on every subsequent play through, it's always Destroy because in the end, an AI is merely a tool to be used. It's easier to recreate such a tool than it is to explain to future generations why The Shepard chose to become a Reaper or make everyone half-n-half.

But you, and pretty much everyone else, are right. You can't win in that situation.

[diet_poison]

Yes, genocide. Artificial intelligence = still living and sapient. And I think it would be hard to explain to future generations why Shepard chose to commit such genocide when it wasn't necessary.

I'm not sure where the whole banshees-and-husks thing came in, unless I'm forgetting something from canon (entirely possible). I just sort of assumed they all died...

From my understanding, and this is understanding from over a year and a half ago, ALL things are synthesized. Reapers, all organic species, all non-organics become synthesized and thus Utopia is achieved. If that is true, would that then mean Reaper creations are synthesized and regain true conscience? If so, talk about a mind fuck, again. That's where I was going with that bit.

[elaminator]

I'm not absolutely sure either but I thought banshees and husks did gain conscienceness? I thought their eyes lit up like everyone else's (signifying the change) and that they were working along with everyone else to rebuild? (Including the reapers, which will never not rub me the wrong way.)

Maybe I misinterpreted the ending...

[cbrachyrhynchos]

EC in my opinion screwed up a lot of things. "Yeah, that entire first game where we revealed that the Citadel and relays were Reaper honeypots? We didn't really mean it. And all that stuff in the second and third game about how reaper technology is dangerously seductive? We didn't mean that either. Athyta's and Javik's speeches about Asari scientists being capable of doing their own thing but limited by politics? We didn't mean that. The implications that the Reapers started the Rachnii wars, possibly influenced the Krogan rebellion, and encouraged a deeply weird taboo about understanding the Citadel? We didn't mean that.

"The codex entries that galactic-wide communications used independently engineered relay systems? We didn't mean that. And Traynor's technobabble about FTL communication systems? We certainly didn't mean that.

"So here you go. A reaper Relay in every star system and a pet husk for a butler in every living room. Just slap a new coat of paint on the Citadel and you'll be right back to where you started again."

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Seriously, the Citadel city government has to be about the worst urban planners in galactic history. "Oh yeah, we're just going to let these semi-sentient spider people incrementally rearrange our entire residential and industrial infrastructure, and pass a law to prevent anyone from figuring out what they're really up to. Brilliant!"

Sounds like a politician's thinking with a side of PETA.

[diet_poison]

Yeah. I don't like that part...I wish the reapers could be left out of the picture entirely, without destroying a whole bunch of other people. =/
