Ok, let me go into even more detail since no one here has any kind of imagination and just seems to be arguing for argument’s sake… Ramming Reapers with cruisers: Not done at the coasting speed of a limping cruiser, but at jump speeds. Point the cruiser at the Reaper and hit your jump.

Detonating a planet or a mass relay to destroy a Reaper: So a giant worm can crush a reaper and a rocket can kill a Reaper (ME3 just before you charge the teleportation beam), but the force of an exploding planet or a solar system destroying Mass Relay explosion can’t kill a Reaper?

I have played the Leviathan DLC. But when the current cycle makes other forms of life (because they will, simply because they can. That’s what technology leads to, you do it to see if you can), they’ll just naturally get along? But the all-knowing CATALYST (forgive me if I prefer calling it the star child) said the created always rebel against the creators. So…. Round and round we go again.

“You lose” and “You lose” are not variations, they’re the same thing. When you have a variation of a thing, one is different from the other. And why should one be favored over the other? Let’s ask Wrex. Why should he die if you chose one option or the other? Shouldn’the outcome be the same for him no matter what? No. In my example, and forgive me for not going into even more detail than I needed to because I didn’t think you’d just keep arguing and leave me to my whimsical hopes for ME4, I imagine a renegade Shepard going too far with his/her strategies and being too willing to make too many sacrifices to get the job done. This would be true since a renegad Shepard would have basically doomed the Krogans to extinction and either killed off the Geth or the Quarians. A Paragon Shepard would have everyone fighting alongside him and not have had to make such huge sacrifices as a Renegade. Paragon Shepard would still have to make some serious sacrifices, but they would likely be better in the end.

The STAR CHILD seeks to prevent organic/synthetic conflict… Ok. But even after everyone is fused, they will still create artificial life. It’s just going to happen. Then what? The star child said that the created will rebel against their creators. This time it will just be biotechnic life against purely artificial life.

The Synthesis option may make everyone understand each other better but it does not make them happy to be forcibly fused. Nowhere does it show or state that synthesis comes with a happy switch. I still believe you’ll have portions of every race they won’t want to be synthetic and will work to undo what has been done for either themselves or for their children.

Now, if you’re quite done ruining what was supposed to be a fun conversation about what I would like to see for ME4, I’d appreciate it if you’d stop with your lambasting of my ideas and come up with some of your own.
