If Bioware ever decides to choose a canon ending for Mass Effect 3, which one would you prefer?

The thing says its something that can't be forced. That is incorrect. If Shepard chooses the green, he/she is forcing it on the galaxy.

Never said it was lying. All its doing is buttering up the green. It doesn't give a crap about Shepard or any organic. The green works in its favor because green is the only one that leaves the thing still around.

Refuse will piss a lot of fans off....good if Bioware wants to troll us for the backlash

Then you didn't answer my question, since my question obviously was asking what evidence there was of the catalyst purposefully lying. Quoting;


This is an indication of when someone is arguing from emotion rather than logic... Which is what the ones that blindly support destroy do.

It claimed the Citadel was a part of it.  It failed to do anything useful in ME1 where it could have made sure the Citadel relay opened.  That it didn't is strong evidence that it doesn't actually have control of the Citadel or the Reapers.  It's lying and trying to convince you that a way useful to it is the best one.  Remember, the Crucible was supposed to wipe out the Reapers.  It had nothing to do with the Catalyst until it took control and re-purposed it for its own ends.  Either the Reapers created the Crucible, in which case it was stringing along people from prior races, or it subverted its original purpose.  Either way, the thing was lying about something.

And this is a problem because...? It says the Citadel is part of it, because the reapers are also part of it, most likely the Mass Relays too. It's the intelligence that controls everything regarding the reapers, remember? You know, the ones that developed the Citadel and Mass Relays to ensure organics develop along the paths they desire?


Or maybe the Catalyst simply wasn't written at all this point.
You're obviously reaching. But even if we ignore the point of BioWare most likely not thinking that far ahead (or back, depending on your perspective), most likely, the catalyst is only a consciousness. Meaning, it probably can't do physical actions. Which is why it didn't do anything with opening/closing the Citadel relay and Saren was required. Which is exactly why Shepard is required to activate the Crucible. Most likely also why the Illusive Man was required for transportation of the Citadel to Earth. 


Why is synthesis useful to it? Wouldn't what it want be to continue the cycle?


No... The Crucible was a design used by a prior civilization, in an attempt to stop the reapers. Stopping is not the same as wiping out. Not to mention the game hammers multiple times on the point that we don't really know how to Crucible works, and more importantly, what the Crucible does. Remember that? Or is your memory that selective?


If it took control, how come it can't fire the crucible himself? How come it can take control of the Crucible but is not in Control of the Citadel?  


Why would the reapers create something that could destroy them? Not likely...
Why is it required that the original purpose of the Crucible is subverted by the catalyst? We never knew what the Crucible does. There is no indication at all for this.


Because you want it to be a liar, or for some better objective verifiable reason?


Who were you replying to then? And if you're gonna claim it was no one, your timing was extremely inconvenient apparently, and it would be borderline spam.

You tried to say human language can have many meanings.  I said the Catalyst would be very precise but you argued that the person behind the keyboard is not so precise.  Fair point, but if that's the case it's entirely open to interpretation.  That means your interpretation is as likely to be wrong as mine.  Happy?  You think all this shit is about you when I don't even give a fuck.
