A bit more on the ending:

Spoiler: show

So if the ending is just the Reapers trying to indoctrinate Shepard or what have you... How do you explain the Old Man telling the "Child" that the entire series was a story about The Shepard?

Spoiler: show

Because you are still destroying or controlling the reapers? I don't see how the child trying to trick you has anything to do with that scene. Although I guess I could be misunderstanding what you are talking about and we are talking about two different theories on the ending.

The indoctrination theory, while obviously not true, still makes the story more amusing if you pretend it is. Kinda like Squall dying at the end of the Disc 2 and the rest of the story being written by Bierce. Actually, this method makes any poorly-written plot turn more interesting... or, at least, more entertaining.

So I've been looking around at some vids for different resolutions to the Tuchanka Genophage mission, and the most awesome thing I have found is this.

Spoiler: show

If you sabotage the genophage and Wrex is the leader, he finds out later in the game and is righteously PISSED.
Also, apparently there IS a way to get Mordin to live. You must have had Wrex die on Virmire in ME1, and must have destroyed the data in ME2 so Eve dies. With Eve dead and Wreav in charge, you can use a renegade option to convince Mordin that the Krogan can't be trusted, and he agrees to help you. Mordin will fake his death in the explosion and slink off to go help the Alliance build the Crucible. Wreav won't discover the deception. So you get to have the Krogans and Salarians help you.

Trying to maintain zero Renegade for my Paragon BroShep play-through:

Spoiler: show

I keep getting 5 Renegade after the Rachni mission. I've been selecting all of the top-left answers; not sure where the 5 points are coming from.

Grunt is alive, Wrex is the leader of Urdnot, saved the queen in ME1. Is it because I'm sacrificing the rest of the Krogan for the queen? I can't seem to find info on the mission on the Wikia wiki.

Ashley was just passed out on the floor. Sure it was funny but Tali's dialogue was hilarious.

Yes, that was one of my favorites of the game along with another Tali Garrus moment.

It's actually getting a little harder to get it into the slot. I think that means its working. hehehe

I just beat it last night, and.......................................I don't know what to think. I CALLED INTO WORK FROM THE SHOCK D: (ok not really, I genuinely don't feel good haha................... BECAUSE OF THE ENDING D: DUN DUN DUN)

Spoiler: show

I picked the "renegade" ending at first, even with a full paragon bar, because after all 3 games, that's what it came down to: Destroying the reapers. Regardless of the fact I was a full blown Paragon. I stuck true to what a full paragon Shepard believed, that controlling the Reapers wasn't something humanity was "ready for". I think it kinda sucks that all synthetic life has to die too, so basically, no geth, no EDI (SADFACE, SHE WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER), but I dunno. It just seems like the best choice. I didn't even read about the "hallucination" theory until after I beat it, and it all kinda makes sense now.

So I restarted the final mission (It actually restarts you from when Shepard gets back up from being blown to shit from Harbinger) and picked the synthesis option and...................... well yeah, recolored ending as everyone else said, except EDI was there this time and was with Joker and I was like "Awwww :D" But yeah, somehow I'm not totally satisfied with these endings >_< I didn't have enough EMS so Shepard didn't live from the Destroy option. Oh well, go go MP.

Yeah I haven't played as the Krogan Sentinel yet. I have it unlocked just spending too much time playing with the Vanguard.

Was doing Silver with two friends being Krogan Soldier and Sentinel and they were just destroying things as a pack. Was rather amusing.

Quarian Infiltrator; shits on anything synthetic with maxed out Sabotage. I was playing against Geth on Silver and walked away with 100k+ points, closest to me was another Infiltrator with 50k.

Krogan Sentinel with maxed out melee stats and a shotgun/pistol with melee damage bonus. Beat down Atlas like a boss :3

I REALLY want to try this, but as it turns out, the Krogans and the Quarian Infiltrator are the classes I've yet to unlock in the game.

My Vanguard has a tough time surviving in Gold lol, things have so much health and Phantoms left and right take you down too quickly.

Spam a few Veterans and Recruits to start. When you have 10+ Medi-gels, I'd say you're good to go for Gold with a good team. My friends and I started with Spectres with sparse Veterans and ran out of supplies quickly.

I'm pretty sure this game has made me hate every Bioware fan ever. You guys are doing the goddamn writing for them. Stop that. There's a goddamn difference between having a thought-provoking ending and just outright lying to your readers/watchers. (Protip: NEVER OUTRIGHT LIE TO YOUR READERS.)

In fact, I'm sure this is how a conversation at Bioware went down:

Employee 1: "Man, I don't think this ending is very good..."
Employee 2: "It's fine! Our fanbase will take what little we've given them and spin it into something awesome. They always do it!"
Employee 1: "Yeah, you're right. Glad our fans are willing to do our work for us."

Yes, I'm mad. I'm mad because this means Bioware can get away with it again. And again. And again. Goodbye thoroughly though-out ending sequences! Our fans will just tell everyone what we really meant all along!

And y'know...

Spoiler: show

Even if it is some kind of goddamn Reaper indoctrination plothax going on (Don't we make fun of Bleach for this kinda shit?) How does it explain Mass Relay explosions not taking out Systems and where Joker was going and why did they crash land?

[Tyrath]

Spoiler: show

Or why Joker was leaving in the first place. Or how my teammates who were down near the beam with me ended up on the Normandy. And a bunch of other bs

Spoiler: show

Uh....care to explain why it's not only not true....but obviously not true?

It's kinda hard to ignore the evidence on display here, like the one choice that kills the Reapers doesn't kill Shepard....Shepard being alive in rubble, like on Earth, and not on the Citadel, etc.

Spoiler: show

Never happened. The crew crashing is just part of the hallucination to comfort Shepard with knowledge that his crew is in some happy, beautiful place. What gets me is that places like that are always inhabited with either giant plant monsters or dangerous natives who subdue said plant monsters. Its like fantasy 101.

Cutting corners is a practice now for devs. Fuck the community and fanbase, obtains LOADS OF MONEY
