I took the fifth choice and thereafter went to have a party with all the survivors. That's all.

I've done them all, but my canon play through is Red. My Shep wasn't overly broken up over the loss of the Geth, but then she was played with a ruthless whatever it takes personality.

Sorry, EDI. You and Joker make an adorable couple, but you gotta take one for the team.
Red, because I'm under the, possibly false by why take chances, assumption that the other options are totally what the Reapers and that little bastard want. I'd go refuse, if we actually had a fleet capable of taking on the things, but... "we have dismissed that claim".

Red, mainly because confronted with such bad options, I choose the one I new had a bit of extra content.

Red or shooting starbrat out of pure spite. One play through I picked control and headcanoned that I sent all the reapers into the sun and uploaded Shepard to an EDI like body, but it still felt hollow.

Out of the RGB I chose Destro for my Renegon because GI JOOOOOOOOOEEEEEE it was the actual mission. To destroy these ancient killbots from hell. Leviathan and Glowing Piece O' Shit aren't canon to me. That's my preferred Shepard and his choice. He's here to bang Jack, kill reapers, kill dissenting indoctrinated morons, kick ass by manguard headbutting krogan faces off so hard that the next 7 generation will only have two balls, bang Jack, bro it up with trolling Protheans and BAMF Drell assassins while also breaking his foot out of mercenary scumbags and then killing reapers while leaving Harbinger voicemail messages about how he pulled a The Rock on his reaper buddy on Rannoch. Hektus Shepard always found Joker's infatuation with metal poon weird and since Legion had to self copypasta he used the geth hardware to continue his reaper asskicking goals. In the end, making papa Anderson proud and banging Jack are what matters, so he's not going anywhere. This Shepard is the one who teaches my first Ryder how to be a man and embody SAVAGE. My Paragon Sheploo chose Synthesis cause that's the line he was towing. He cares about the Geoffs as much as the organic races. My Renegade Shepard is an evil bastard who fully supports Cerberus till the end and would have stuck with Brooks had she approached HIM and not some random jamoke clone. He wants to tear down the aliens and uses them in his fight to give humans the upper hand. In the end, the krogan were screwed over, the geth kicked Quarian ass on their way to THE FINAL DELETION OF BROTHER LEGION deletion which led to a weaker quarian flotilla and let Rana wrech some top brass in Asorry lsd High Command. There is a new galactic overlord and it is THE Cerberus for humanity whose name is Shepard. My Paragade Shepard chose refuse because I based him on Isaac Clarke circa Dead Space 2 where he wasn't going to change his morals or point of viiew by falling into the reapers' trap of using a device they started by proxy. He told the reapers to go fornicate themselves in the darkest corner of the galaxy and flipped them the bird while the Citadel races went out in a blaze of glory. Damn, those are some compelling tales.

Destroy. Always destroy. I'm not changing my views because of some suspicious looking star child who claims that turning a person into black liquid in order to upload them into collective mind of a giant machine is a good way to preserve a species. Besides... I don't care about EDI or Geth anyway. Reading Čapek's books taught me that you can't trust machines anyway... or newts... or anyone who claims he will behave. They won't. They will either kill you or enslave you. So let's... just commit genocide on them. Yeah...
Synthesis is too utopian for me. Yes, yes, everyone lived happily ever after, all humans, aliens and machines were equal, love for everyone. Yay.
Control? Well, few meters under the RGB location, there's a corpse of the Illusive Man. He could tell you how that end up. He can't do that now though. 'Cause he's dead.
And Refuse? That's just a middlefinger from Bioware.

Control. Shep had always done what other people told him to do, so this time he did what he wanted. He wanted to be in charge of his own fate and no longer dance to the tune of others (Alliance, Council, Cerberus). Also he had sacrificed the quarians to save the geth and wasn't going to let that go to waste now. He was feeling more and more sympathy towards synthetics, maybe because he was partly one himself. Controlling the Reapers - most powerful beings in the Galaxy - was just too tempting. Illusive Man was right, all along.

Red.
Anderson explains it best:
"A good leader is someone who values the life of his men over the success of the mission, but understands that sometimes the cost of failing a mission is higher than the cost of losing those men."

Since Bioware fucked up the ending on so many levels, the only solution I recognize is Red. I basically choose to destroy my memory of the ending. Sometimes picturing Walters face on that red tank.

I choose Destroy, but I think that Control is a perfectly acceptable option. Control is the ultimate insult to the Reapers and their scheme, turning them into slaves to the benefit of the rest of the galaxy. But I'd rather just be rid of the abominations altogether.

I chose red because I'll be fucked if I fought the Reapers inch by inch for years and 3 goddamned games just to turn them into giant keepers or worse, to turn everyone into a half cyborg.
Die, Reapers, die!

My problem with control is that it isn't Shepard controlling them. It's some new AI with Shepard's memories. The Extended Wrist Cut version even has the AI saying it's not Shepard anymore ("the man/woman I was" and all that). We can't say "well my Shepard would..." because our Shepard is dead. We can't speak for this thing. And again we're back to the "no guarantee they won't come to the same conclusions again" thing. Which, given how Shepbinger is already going on about its infinite understanding and protecting the many from the few, along with how okay Casper the Genocidal Ghost was with letting Shepard take the helm, I'd say the new monster will more than likely restart the cycle of genocide sooner or later.
If it were actually Shepard controlling them, that'd be great. I'd march them single-file into the supermassive black hole. Git rekt, mecha-cthulhu.

Synthesis is the only solution that's actually solves anything. The organics and synthetics live peacefully, the Reapers provide knowledge of the past and EDIXJoker. Everyone wins. No one has any proof that everyone becomes indoctrinated and I'm not going to jeopardise the future of the galaxy over petty revenge against the Reapers when it's the AI you should be mad at. Green>Red>Blue. I would easily pick red if it wasn't for the fact that EDI and the Geth die...which only proves the Reapers point of there being no peace between organic and synthetics. Not to mention that the chaos will come back eventually anyways, though I suppose anything is better than the Reapers. Shepard surviving makes this a tempting option, but am I willing to kill all the Geth and EDI for it? Never blue. Putting a new AI at the helm will change nothing in the long term, it'll eventually think like the previous one and put the Reapers back on course. Yeah that sounds kinda right to me.... that said I'm not the biggest fan of the "synthesis" concept ending, (i.e. assimilation between human/synthetic) I think what I would of wanted was something like destroy, where the reaper threat is ended, but it's not violent destruction, the Reapers are somehow kept around to as you say provide knowledge, but not destroyed out of vengeance of mayhem. "Merging" and "Destruction" being the two options were kinda like eh...

Are you seriously suggesting the monsters who've torture-murdered billions of people tens of thousands of times over shouldn't pay for their crimes?

No, but their repentance is not the form of death or destruction. Their atonement would be something other than continuing the cycle of destruction.

I don't think a reaper can atone or repent - it doesn't seem to have the capacity for that. No reaper has ever displayed the slightest doubt in what they are doing. Anything other than utter destruction is probably just a mere obstacle between them and the completion of the cycle. As long as a reaper exists, you'd have to prevent it from going back to murdering entire civilizations in some way. Reforming a reaper is like trying to teach a lawnmower to grow flowers. It won't happen.

Teehee, that poll's not loaded at ALL.
Anyway, I've picked all of them. Paragon Blue's my favorite, though, and as far as I'm concerned, the Shepalyst functions as a reclusive galactic archive for the rest of her existence.

That thing's not Shepard.

I was actually very okay with the red ending, and it's pretty much how I had always wanted it to end. With the reapers destruction, but with some heavy sacrifices needed to reach it.
What I was NOT okay with (to use an euphemism...) is how shitty everything else surrounding the ending was, starting from the mind boggling big plot holes, to the completely nonsensical events, to the absolute anticlimax that lead to it and the sacrifices, to everything else...
Sucky ending is sucky.
