User blog comment:Legionwrex/Why Destroy is the worst ending (besides refusal)./@comment-90.11.117.166-20120814103727/@comment-5607673-20120815013519

For the Queen she could be lying or captured again by some corporation (because it's a game I know as a player that she doesn't lie and that she won't be capture again (well ME3 did find a way to overcome her death for me...) or else it would cause critics from paragon player to Bioware but my Shepard doesn't know she play in a game with some cliche mechanics so...)

I'm going to, once again, mention her very specific description of indoctrination. I find it hard to believe that she invented all that.

'''Growing up on Earth has given my first Shepard some hard moral codes (a bit like Samara's code) : if you're chalenging me, you die. Well because it was a little bit too extrem my second Shepard wasn't like that.'''

It is pretty extreme. My Shepard is also Earthborn, and while he doesn't like to be pushed around either, he doesn't kill anyone just because they messed with him.

'''Not curing the genophage doesn't doom the krogan race. Mordin explain you in ME2 that it give balance to the growing rate of the krogan population and EDI states that the krogan without genophage would spread very (maybe too) fast. I prefered balance over some wild guess that the krogan could behave themself. And without Wrex and Eve, Wreav told you right away that after the war there will be some retribution (and my Shepard couldn't know that Wrex would be the leader by the time she shooted him).'''

It does. They're going, slowly but surely, extinct. Their numbers are falling. They're dying. Wrex says that more than once and it says so in the Codex.

For the council I always believed that not saving them should be the paragon option because a paragon Shepard prefere saving the many over some politician (but you can argue that they are important for galactic stability so this is an open debate without clear answer)

I'd say it's the Paragon choice as well (leaving those idiots alive is pretty evil), but the game considers it Renegade, so whatever. But like you said, it's an open debate without a clear answer.

'''I respected you until you said that you would rather have "deep galatic magic" over a "bad" ending (bad in a moral perspective)... Deep galactic magic is the worst ending of all (plot twist in the last second are bad) and like the renegade controle ending you doesn't give the people a choice...'''

I was joking. I hate the Synthesis ending with a passion.

BTW I wonder what you as a mild renegade Shepard would have choosen with the original "Dark energy Twist" ending : human reaper to save the galaxy at the cost of humanity or screw them all and kill the Reapers even if it's mean the destruction of the galaxy soon (a few centuries later) ?

That's a good question. The truth is, I don't know. I'd have to see in the game, properly laid out with all answers there for us for me to actually decide. Would Shepard sacrifice humanity to stop the Dark Energy or take his chances and try to stop the Dark Energy himself? I don't know.
