Happy N7 day 2022! Two years late, an analysis of the Mudskipper teaser image

If you are going by mathematics, you should be opposed to Destroy since it causes the most deaths (besides Refuse). Also it’s not just the Geth you are genociding, it is any other synthetic race out there or any organic race that are only alive through synthetics. For example the Virtual Aliens who uploaded themselves to computer’s in their ships to survive the death of their world are all killed too. Meanwhile Control kills only two beings and Synthesis kills only one. But as seen in your explanation your decision was guided by emotion too, in that the other options made you feel uneasy despite being logically sound. And there’s nothing moral about a genocide, ever.

Ugh, I hate the Arrival DLC. So many forced contrivances and character assassinations just to try to make that “hard choice” seem like good writing and impactful.

And yet you can murder trillions plus who knows how many else out there without their consent? That’s definitely not making a moral decision for everyone. That’s committing the gravest atrocity in our cycle’s history. And not very logical either, since it will forever have synthetics (once they come around again) be opposed to organics. After all, why trust organics when the last time synthetics did that they were stabbed in the back and wiped out. So why even attempt to try, when logically it would be better to wipe organics out to protect themselves from any potential future betrayal.
The mandate is to stop the Reapers. Destroying them was assumed to be the only way, but that is no longer the case.
Speaking of trusting the Catalyst, that goes both ways. If you can’t trust him on the effects of Control or Synthesis, you can’t trust him on Destroy either. Especially since that one is the most dubious, him telling you how to kill him is to damage the thing you made to kill him?

Not trying to get into a full on debate about the endings, especially since BioWare’s decision seems to have been to throw all three away or maybe some combination of the three (really hope they don’t just go ‘Destroy lite’ but actually address the three decisions somehow). Just wanted to address those points you made.

Then don’t claim it is the moral choice. Because mass murdering people, especially when other options exist, is the exact opposite of moral.
That’s racist.
I was placing “undue emphasis” on saving lives in general. You know, the actual moral thing to do.
I see you completely misunderstood my point. I wasn’t talking about the Geth turning on us. I was talking about future synthetic races that would arise.

Like the ones who went to Andromeda? Yeah, StarBrat was a liar and it knew it was lying. There are always places to hide that are outside of reach of the relays. Similarly, given Synthesis, not everyone would be altered. See: MEA and probably anyplace where no relay exists. Which, when you think about it, is a lot of places, even in the explored areas. Lots of clusters have a couple of relays but they also have star systems that are away from said relays.

You have also completely misunderstood my point(s). 

Anyway, what I was thinking about originally was people who choose Synthesis or Control because Legion and thereby all Geth are cool and Joker will be sad if his girlfriend EDI dies. You think you have a well weighted justification for your canon ending and that's fine, even though I don't agree with your logic. But I really, really don't understand people who play a role-playing game and roleplay a supposed hero who only cares about saving their friends. It's a non-immersed, gamified way of looking at the choice. 

Or it was simply not intelligent enough and making assumptions based on its limited programming. But I agree there are plenty of loopholes for Bioware to exploit if they want to and based on what we've seen so far, it's looking like it. How the majority of fans is going to react to a watered down version of what was implied by the endings is another matter...
