I’d take generic over illogical any time…if the former didn’t add the destruction of all synthetics. Besides, it’s not like a fusion of organics and synthetic is really that novel of an idea, and neither is controlling machines. I get the reasoning behind preferring the other two compared to Destroy, but it’s not really something I share when role playing. The fact that a choice is generic doesn’t affect my decision. Destroy is just as illogical. You activate it by damaging the thing you helped build to stop them, because the leader of the Reapers told you to? I meant the effect is illogical. As I said in another post, all endings require you to trust the Catalyst. That is indeed illogical, and a personal problem with that part of tbe game. If you want to say that considering the illogical premise of trusting the Catalyist, any kind of results is fair game in terms of logic, I understand that view. I still find the way Synthesis affects both organics and synthetics weirder then simply destroying or controlling the Reapers. It’s just my opinion though. I don’t claim that everyone should see it as myself. Edit: And to be clear, as I know it’s a problem you have with Destroy, the fact that Destroy affect all synthetics is a problem I have with that ending, which paired with the problem I have with Synthesis, made me choose ParaControl for my canon. For me, the choice of ME3 endings resulted in picking (subjectively) between three bad options. It’s even worse then DA2, where at least Meredith’s decision makes it clear (again, subjectively) which is the choice to pick.

Too bad Bioware didn't use Hackett's ending. It's much easier then having to shoot this, pull that or jump in here, and have thing, the enemy, explain the options to Shepard.

Would porting to UE4 really work, in the context of a remaster? Even if the content would remain the same, I think it’d still qualify as a remake, similar to Demon Souls. UE4 is just a more complex version of the same engine. You could probably find traces of it going all the way back to the first Unreal. The problem is that, with new versions, old plugins become obsolete, old code becomes inoperable and things start breaking down with no way to fix. The assets would work, the game would look the same, except for some added UE4 graphical goodies that could be layered on top of the pre-existing games. Not exactly on the level of Diablo 2 Resurrected. Technically, you could call it either, if you wanted, but since most of the assets would be the same from 2012, you'd be more likely to call it a remaster, than a remake. If you could get it to work. My guess is that's what Bioware did in the first place. Trying different versions of Unreal to compile the games in and seeing which one didn't break the games. Which is most likely what Bioware meant when they said they had a "fully working" version of the games and which is why I don't exactly consider that "working on the remaster". That's overglorifying it. But that's a different conversation entirely. You can debate why Shepard would believe that this is going to work, but then again, all endings except Refuse requires Shepard to trust the Catalyst…which is, in my opinion, part of the problem with the endings. Exactly. The fact that Mac and Casey even expected us to take a Reaper, as the Catalyst refers to itself, when it says "we" meaning it and the other Reapers, at face value is just baffling. Oh man. There's so many things wrong with that sequence. Destroy is just as illogical. You activate it by damaging the thing you helped build to stop them, because the leader of the Reapers told you to? What makes you think the others won't? What makes Shepard think the other options won't? It's not like Shepard could live to tell otherwise.

And your loyalty to thing believing the green is not forced when it is. Remember it says green is the ideal solution because it works in it's favor, and it's the ending that has it remain.

I wouldn't mind if the game would have ended with Shepard being indoctrinated and ultimately everyone losing to the reapers... And then finding out, it was all part of the beacon vision at Eden Prime.

It's probably going to top for a few days and then drop back down. It's spent most of its time really low and only appeared in the top 10 this past week. The TW:R Remaster did pretty much the same, just a couple of weeks ago.

FYI, someone on Twitter received the PS4 version of the game and posted a few pics of Eden Prime. We might get some informations soon.

And then finding out, it was all part of the beacon vision at Eden Prime. That's not a bad way out. I suggested something similar, with the start of ME2. In Greek dramas, people who were close to death had a vision of what the future holds and often were plot vehicles, through their prophecies. And then you have Shepard, who dies at the start of ME2, have a vision of his own resurrected future, which he can influence positively or negatively. Who knows. It's a neat way out. Imagine already knowing about Javik, the Crucible, Arrival, all beforehand, how much time Shepard could earn the galaxy that way. Hell, you could even save the Geth from a destroy ending. Or just bring a piece of ham for Synthesis, if that's your thing. Or, you know, a used condom. Whatever works.

And then finding out, it was all part of the beacon vision at Eden Prime. The player learns Jacob Taylor is the so-called prothean expert who helps defeat his father on Noveria. Be able to recruit Jaivk while chasing Saren. Shepard is really an undercover Cerberus agent posing as an Alliance officer searching for Anderson, a top level Cerberus asset. The one on the SR1 is a clone, but Shepard needs to play nice to get the location of the real Anderson. Ashley and Kadan are also Cerberus agents. The council members are the volus, vorcha and elcor. Udina is Ambassador who eventually becomes humanity's first councilor. Throughout ME1, the asari is trying to stop Shepard from stopping Saren who wants to bring back giant robots to harvest the galaxy.
