Note that while I am the same anon you replied to, I am not the anon that started this thread. I don't want that anon to be thought of as starting something.

I understand that the goal is galactic peace, if it wasn't I wouldn't strive to achieve peaceful resolutions between certain parties throughout the series including the Geth and Quarians (hell, if I could have saved the Batarian in Arrival, I would have in a heartbeat). The solution to that peace (or a part of it) is the destruction of the Reapers. It's the only renegade choice I ever feel okay making.

I knew I should have kept that line that basically said, it was a war and no one comes out of a war unscathed from having to make not only difficult choices but even heinous ones. I don't want to sacrifice entire races to achieve peace but (in game) I would if I had to. I don't want to kill off Turians, Krogan, or Asari and am grateful that, for the most part, I don't have to make that choice in ME3. And I certainly don't want to kill off a comrade (unless it's Kaidan but that's neither here nor there) unless I truly have no other option. EDI is a voice on the Normandy and I'm not fond of her sex-bot platform, so I don't view her as a true comrade. Legion is gone, thus no geth is a comrade.

My view toward AI, though gross to some, is that they are not living, breathing, flesh beings. They were created to be used as tools. That is why I find it easier to choose Destroy. AI can be rebuilt. Any other race cannot. So I don't see it as genocide. I'd love for the Reapers to be destroyed and not have to sacrifice the Geth, but turning Shepard into a Reaper-Commander or saying, "You get a synthesis, and you get a synthesis, EVERYONE GETS A SYNTHESIS" just sits even worse with me. But that's just me.

I would never suggest you have a love of Reapers and am baffled that anyone would.

That is where we disagree. We were led to believe it was necessary, but then it wasn't.

EDI is a voice on the Normandy and I'm not fond of her sex-bot platform, so I don't view her as a true comrade.

We have VERY different views on that, then.

Legion is gone, thus no geth is a comrade.

In some playthroughs I believe Legion stays alive (though only if the quarians die?). That's why I said possibly two comrades, but not necessarily likely.

You seem to not see the vital difference between VI and AI. VI are tools. AI are self-aware. They have a mind and consciousness, just like a being of flesh. Flesh doesn't define life, imo. It certainly doesn't define sapience.

Any other race cannot.

Really? The technology that brought Shepard back from the dead, the technology that allowed Henry Lawson to create two daughters from his genetic material without them even having a mother, begs to differ.
