Mass Effect 3: "Does this unit have a soul?"

Ойындар

In my opinion, this is the best scene in the whole game.
"Error, copying code is insufficient. Direct personality dissemination required.
Shepard-Commander. I must go to them. I'm.. I'm sorry. It's the only way.
Legion... The answer to your question was "Yes".
I know, Tali. But thank you. Keelah se'lai."

    steve johnson The Geth initially wanted peace before they even knew of the Reapers, and Shepard forced the Quarians and the Geth to make peace, not the Reapers. That seems clear, considering that there are other paths where they don't make peace, despite the Reapers still being a threat.

    One of the saddest things i came upon about the geth and the quarians in me2 was this. I guess in 6th conversation with Legion, he says that they are the caretakers of Rannoch. They don't live on it(they live in space stations), they look after it, they clear the rubble and clear the radiation from the war. when shepard asks about it, he likens it to Arlington and Auschwitz, they basically see the whole world as a giant cemetery. they honor the dead quarians by looking after their lost homeworld. these games are something man...

    Hans Tang Sure, and the FTL drives, the Thorian, mass effect, mass relays, the whole game was filled with space magic. That doesn't mean all were bad, just because it was science *fiction*. But there was plenty of bullshit, even for a fiction. The ghost boy was, too. Still, since we have that idiocy as some sort of a hive mind, control made some sense, replacing the puppeteer with another. Destroy? Not sure how that'd work, but there could be an acceptable explanation for that still, similar to that of the FTL drives and mass relays. ...Of course EA didn't provide such an explanation, because why would they? And synergy comes dead last. I would've liked a regular weapon of mass-destruction, a regular war instead of these "quick endings", where I could enjoy the results of me trying to get them idiot aliens to stop killing each other, and start killing the reapers instead, for three games. Not a 30 seconds long cutscene in the end of the third game.

I never thought I would cry at a video game because I was so invested in the characters, but ME proved me wrong. I could care less about the ending; the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.

You've been trained the entire series to think red=renegade blue=paragon, but in this case they are reversed. RED is the paragon ending, where every race except the geth survive. Red is firing the crucible and saving all life.

As is, how is it that the Crucible can't differentiate between the Reapers and the Geth if I use the destroy option, but if I take the control option the Crucible only affects the Reapers? Why does the space child seem to think that the best option is to rape all life in the galaxy?

    ***** Same here. Obviously I would save both if possible. But if only one was possible, I'm going to side with the Geth. The Quarians put themselves in that situation and then perpetuated it for 300 years. I like the renegade option that makes peace better best because that's basically how I felt.

    That is the main reason why the ending is completely bullshit. Despite their claims of "artistic integrity" the entire final 10 minutes of the game screams that it was scrapped and rewritten in a few weeks time. The Quarian/Geth conflict shows that it is perfectly viable for both races to live in harmony once they reach understanding. And if you point this out to the Starchild he just waves his hand and ignores you.

    "The Quarian/Geth conflict shows that it is perfectly viable for both races to live in harmony once they reach understanding." The Intelligence/Reapers' point isn't that you can't achieve peace, their point is that a war between organic and synthetic life that will lead to all life being wiped out (or being severely affected) is inevitable. Those are two different situations. I mean sure, we got the Geth and the Quarians to make peace (well, 1/3 of the time according to Bioware's statistics), but that was after 300 years of war and millions of deaths. And for how long that peace will actually last? A year? A century? A millennium? Hell, even if that peace lasts "forever", who's to say a new AI/synthetic race created 100,000 years in the future won't declare a war which could wipe out all life? Or a new one after that? Or a new one after that? The problem here is trust. You either trust the Reapers, a highly advanced, super intelligent, unbiased collective life form that has lived for billions of years and has observed thousands of galactic life cycles, that war is inevitable or you choose to believe that we achieving peace between 2 races for a week or so after a 300-years war a 1/3 of the time is undeniable proof that it isn't. It's reason vs. emotion. You are free to choose either one of them to justify your decision at the end, but what you can't do is try to use reason to justify the emotional one, because just like I showed, it doesn't really work.

    FufuhBR Why even do anything if you are going to use that long a timescale then. After all, whats the point if the Heat Death of the Universe is coming to kill us all anyway. The Reapers do not represent "reason", they seem to represent Nihilism. In that they claim nothing you do will matter since we are all going to die anyway.

    When I first played ME3 I was a only able to play that single game, because I had a wii u and none of the other games were available on that. I had to choose between Tali and Legion. I hadn't known Legion long because I had to skip ME2, but it still hurt to have to either sacrifice him and the Geth, or watch Tali kill herself. Being able to get this ending with the collection was just something else. I had seen the cutscenes and tried to find a way to do it on the Wii U for years, but it never happened. When I was able to get this ending to the arc around Rannoch... God I felt like a 10 ton weight had been lifted off my back.

    The fact that you can essentially doom five differences races is the main reason I love this series so much. Rachni, Krogan, Collectors, Quarians, and Geth. And Batarians. If ya wanna be generous and acknowledge their existence. The option to make big choices that feel impactful is something that was greatly lacking in Andromeda.
