User blog comment:Legionwrex/Why Destroy is the worst ending (besides refusal)./@comment-3228423-20120706122320

You spent the previous two games fighting to stop the Reapers, the idea of controlling them just seems alien and is definitely a bad choice due to the possibility of Shepard becoming corrupt and/or insane after countless eons alone or sooner if pure renegade; and synthesis, the worst is that it brings not unity but homogenization which went against the very theme of the games themselves. Anderson died to make sure that we destroyed the Reapers, and any of the other options just seems like a total dishonor for his sacrifice

As for EDI and the geth being destroyed as well as the Reapers, I'd just like to quote "I reject your reality and substitute my own". Meaning that they're still alive.
