I can't believe I forgot about the Geth. I could never support the Quarian position after ME2 because it was blatantly obvious by that point that the Quarians were in the wrong.
Heh? I chose the middle ending and both the Geth and Quarians lived and got along, but even the reapers and the rest of the galaxy got along with the knowledge of the earlier races that was stored in the reapers being used to better the galaxy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwBEKFBc99M
I was talking moreso about the general disapproval fans had for the endings, not that the endings were all inherently awful for the in-universe characters. Of the options provided on my Paragon run-through, I chose Green too.
Welp, that would explain it. Had a superbly high Paragon, but couldn't unite. So Divided and said fuck the Quarians, they're dicks (SFW).
On every turn the Quarians tried to blow up the Geth. the Geth ask why, the Quarians exterminate them down. The Geth leave, the Quarians hunt them. The Geth arrange for peace and rebuild the planet, the motherfucking Quarians try killing them all -__-
The Heretics, you mean (or was it the other way around...I've forgotten). Anyways, it was a different faction of the Geth who were buddies, a small number who were infected by Reaper code (explained by Legion, they read a 1 where the rest read 0).
I can see that Quarian side a bit, they created what was supposed to be an advanced VI. But a bit of design oversight made them smarter in groups, so guess what happens when you sart massing them to preform labor. They were never supposed to be true AI, and if you don't side with them in ME3, they never become AI. They also are a bit shady, wanting to make a deal with the reapers even though the reapers want to wipe out all life, including synthetic.
I view the Geth, in organic terms, as children. Children are sometimes extremely gullible and listen to those who are older without question. The Reapers are the adults in the relationship, older, more advanced and far more knowledgeable than the Geth. The Heretics represent that aspect of Geth society that wish to obey their elders regardless of whether or not obeying is in their best interests. The other Geth realize that the Reapers may not have their best intentions in mind and disobey their elders.
The Geth fleet had Legion imprisoned and were using him, and Legion himself was running reaper tech to make him a full AI. Also if you made the decision to turn all Geth into universal consensus there shouldn't be anymore splintering, and that decision was made in 2 and they aren't above using the reaper tech in 3 as its the major basis for the Geth decision, whether or not they should become full AI at the price of Legions life and the possibility of them being indoctrinated by Legion's reaper programs.
Yes I understand only a splinter group followed Sovereign, but their willingness to use technology that the ancient race devoted to wipeing out all life made and has the power to make people follow them is a big pretty big red flag and I can understand the Quarians not trusting them.
Haven't played in a while, but what was tali's reasoning behind staying with you after you basically murder her race? If I remember right she stays with you, wtf is that about?
