(Fic) Memory
This is another 'Mass Effect' fic, I'm afraid. I've now finished ME3, and wasn't nearly as outraged by the endings as I expected to be given the internet rage they've generated. Honestly, I'm a Joss Whedon fan: ME3 didn't have nearly enough deaths of beloved characters or dei ex machina plot twists to bother me. Even so, I felt the need for a fill- ( Read more... )
There is a difference between accepting necessary casualties and genocide. I rather doom whole mankind to die than to survive by sacrificing my friends. And I consider EDI and Geth to be equally worth of saving.
Just as I could not defend turning all the organics into some partial-cybernetics without the people's consent.
Which only left control, which meant Sheppard dying and become Space-Jesus. Meh.
Oh can I just say that I frakking hate the ending!? It's like re-imagined Battlestar Galactica kind of bad.
And we were told specifically that the Destroy option would not prevent more synthetic lifeforms being developed in the future,
Just because new synthetics can be built does not justify killing the ones living today. I don't care about hypothetical future beings, but those who are and have intent to continue living.
because the Catalyst was all, "Oh, without the Reapers you'll risk more war", and my Shepard would flip that off and say, "We'll take that risk when we come to it, just like we took the same risk when we cured the genophage."
This might seem hypocritical, but I supported the genophage.
Well, it's complicated.
As in: I did not want to take the risk of Krogan dominance, and I think Krogan should first change their culture to not be so war-mongering before a cure should be applied. And even then, birth control would be advisably.
I destroyed the research in ME2 and supported Mordin back then, and tried to convince him to walk away in ME3 but I wasn't Paragon enough. Had to shoot him right in the back. I felt like a total monster ...
Those were the moments that made ME3 awesome. Then the ending came. /sigh
