So if you can't tell by the options, I am playing Mass Effect 3. I know I am late and it's kind of a bummer because I have had full exposure to the controversy about the ending. But I have the extended cut so it should be better. But it makes it harder as the game goes along to decide how you are going to end the game. I just finished the mission on Thessia and with how intense it's getting, I know I am nearing the end. I am conflicted about all the endings and I will explain why. Needless to say, spoilers ahead.
I have a problem with synthesis because that was what Saren promoted in Mass Effect 1 and he was indoctrinated by Sovereign. I have a problem with control because that's what the Illusive Man wants. I can't stand the guy, even in ME 2. And I just learned on Thessia that Kai Leng is indoctrinated thanks to the prothian VI so it's not a long shot to think that the Illusive man is as well. And then comes the last option, destroy synthetics. I have a problem with this for a lot of reasons, Legion was amazing and he sacrificed himself (in my game) to give the geth independence. I also ended the Geth-Quarians war and they are rebuilding much faster with help from the geth. I also can't think of destroying EDI especially now that she and Joker have a thing. So I don't know what I am going to choose. What did you choose and why?
TL;DR I have conflicts with all 3 Mass Effect 3 endings and I am not about to tell the star child no and doom the galaxy. What did you choose and why?
EDIT: I just finished the game and I have posted my thoughts in a new thread.

I chose destroy every time. Not because I liked the option, but because it was so clear that Hack Walters over there wanted us to choose something different by contriving as many stupid scenarios as possible. And by every time, I mean all two times, because I am not touching that game again. inb4idiotsthatthinkthatit'sonlybecauseoftheending
