WARNING VIDEO AND WRITTEN TEXT CONTAINS SPOILERS.

This was the ending I choose for my Mass Effect 3 experience.

ALLOT of people hated the game's similar in animation endings. But this one really struck me once I thought about it.

Here's my review that inspired me while blogging about it on YouTube.

Mass Effect 3 Synthesis Ending Review.

The ending ultimately leaves you three choices. Destroy, Control, or Synthesis.

Destroy: If you think you should dominate and destroy, then this option basically will never end the cycle of destruction. Sure the peace will be there, but new generations will occur and the cycle will begin again.

Control: No better, if you choose this option, it's no different than becoming the new Catalyst. Ultimately realizing what will become and begin 'cleansing' once again.

Synthesis: To co-exist. Peacefully or War-Like, the choice is up to you. The difference is that you are now integrating your consciousness into the Citadel that will spread a 'change' of DNA on all Organic Life, turning everyone into Husks, but with free-will. All organic species are essentially immortal *in terms of longevity. And all synthetics, including the Reapers share Shepard's memories and made the choice to leave Earth on their own.

Much like how Legion synced his consensus with the Geth, giving them intelligence...so did Shepard did by sharing his Synthetic body technology with every single organic species in the Galaxy that the Mass Relays reached to as well as his consciousness.

In doing so, sent Joker and EDI on a new planet as a new species, the new Adam and Eve of that world.

All at the same time destroys the Mass Relays, breaking connection with all species in the known galaxy.

Why?....It's because of personal growth. Much like the Krogan civilization of ancient Tuchanka.

For not every species is ready to interact with each other, they need to grow peacefully on their own way first.

You must fight and resolve amongst yourselves first. A good example is a Chinese Proverb I heard about growing Rice Paddies. "To live peacefully, you do need personal space, just like growing rice paddies. If you clump the paddies together, they grow tall only to choke themselves to death. The rice needs to be spaced apart so that the stalks of the grass grows wider near the top. Fully grown, their roots will not touch, but their grains will."

Personal Growth is the key before reaching out to others.

The Stargazer and the Child *(who's species and past parent origins are unknown) is an example of when the universe of various species will soon once again, be ready to unionize.

And if the stories continue, and the universe is indeed ready to be connected again, every species who united that day will pass on their stories of how 'The Shepard' lead them.

For all species are unique....

....It's our differences that unite us, make us special.
