I'm conflicted. What did/would you choose?
So if you can't tell by the options, I am playing Mass Effect 3. I know I am late and it's kind of a bummer because I have had full exposure to the controversy about the ending. But I have the extended cut so it should be better. But it makes it harder as the game goes along to decide how you are going to end the game. I just finished the mission on Thessia and with how intense it's getting, I know I am nearing the end. I am conflicted about all the endings and I will explain why. Needless to say, spoilers ahead.
I have a problem with synthesis because that was what Saren promoted in Mass Effect 1 and he was indoctrinated by Sovereign. I have a problem with control because that's what the Illusive Man wants. I can't stand the guy, even in ME 2. And I just learned on Thessia that Kai Leng is indoctrinated thanks to the prothian VI so it's not a long shot to think that the Illusive man is as well. And then comes the last option, destroy synthetics. I have a problem with this for a lot of reasons, Legion was amazing and he sacrificed himself (in my game) to give the geth independence. I also ended the Geth-Quarians war and they are rebuilding much faster with help from the geth. I also can't think of destroying EDI especially now that she and Joker have a thing. So I don't know what I am going to choose. What did you choose and why?
TL;DR I have conflicts with all 3 Mass Effect 3 endings and I am not about to tell the star child no and doom the galaxy. What did you choose and why?
EDIT: I just finished the game and I have posted my thoughts in a new thread.

With the control ending, you don't have to wipe out all other synthetic life to stop the Reapers and you don't have to use synthesis to alter everyone's very nature. Everyone survives and everyone is unaltered. Shepard becomes the guardian of the galaxy. (Paragon) With the destroy ending, you sacrifice [i]all[/i] synthetic life to ensure the destruction of the Reapers. EDI and the Geth are no more, technological advancement among the races has been stunted, but in the end you have neutralized the threat. You got the job done, no matter the cost. (Renegade)
