Legionwrex and Zxjkl seem to have forgotten what the first two games were all about - did you even play them?

Always, ALWAYS, you have wanted to destroy the reapers. It is the only choice that has integrity and makes any "sense" as the best decision - since the other two are fundamentally flawed. Let me explain:

Over and over again, it has been shown that either allying with the reapers (Saren, TIM, I could go on forever....) nor giving unlimited power to a single individual (Shepard becoming the Reaper-God, and for this one just look at history) are a good idea. They both have bad consequences. So making you pay for choosing control is only right - it is a blatantly wrong decision, so wrong in fact, that you spent a good part of the third game fighting a main antagonist (TIM) who wanted just that! So much for that option.

Synthesis is a little harder to see through, but is in fact just what Saren wanted - to "cooperate" with machines and "coexist", since allegedly organics and synthetics are unable to accept each other and their differences and will inevitably wipe each other out. If you manage to secure Quarian-Geth peace, if you look at EDI's development, you would immediately realize this "conclusion" that for peaceful coexistance we must be force-transformed into an amalgam in which both "types" of life lose their individuality - why this choice is also flawed in a sense should be obvious - you should not have to sacrifice the variety of life in order to have peace!

The fact is that the Reapers dying is the best choice for all of galaxy-side life; all organics, who would suffer at their hands, and all synthetics, who are shown to be regarded only as tools for them to be used and discarded. The fact is that Destroy is the choice that makes the most sense, and if you don't like the fact that Pedro is suggesting making people who choose either Control or Synthesis one pay a price for it (NOTE: without making everything go ompletely to hell), you haven't thought it through.
