The worst part of this was the unexpectedness. With Mordin and Thane, we knew their time was coming, and you could brace yourself for the impact, but we had just come off of such a high with the Geth and Quarians. Peace, after 300 years of war, no one else has to die.... and then Legion breaks the news, out of nowhere.
I haven't finished the entirety of ME3 yet, but throughout the entire series thus far, nothing has made me tear up, except learning about the Morning War with Legion in the geth consensus and Legions death scene. I swear Legion was one of the best and most adorable characters I've ever seen. God, I loved Legion so much.
It's way worse when tali dies I picked that option and it actually destroyed me I had to replay like 2 hours up to that point Cust I felt like a piece of shit
This scene makes me so happy. When you see Admiral Raan and the Geth Prime discussing settlement sites, it proves that the Catalyst's solution was unnecessary in the first place - organics and synthetics solved the problem on their own, even if it did take a war to do it. I kinda hope we develop self-aware AI in our time, and then make friends with them.
There is always a choice. Whether it is war or peace, love or hate, it is always a choice. Peace comes from respect and understanding, but those are things that people need to learn and chose on their own
The Intelligence based its beliefs on all past cycles where every A.I rebelled. It had not yet happened that A.I and organics worked together, that is why he allowed Shepard to choose in ME3, Shepard showed it that synthetics and organics can work together and not be in an eternal conflict
It always amazed me how the Geth never put up any settlements, they never wanted the planet, they didn't really want a part in this war, they just wanted their creators to come home.
@@DrumToTheBassWoop take the war out of the equation if they were to one day just come back. As socked as the Geth might have been, I'm sure they would have been happy to see their creators come home.
Pairing this with the Destroy ending broke my heart. You did so much for Legion and the Geth finally got back with the Quarians for a mutual relationship sharing the same planet. But with the ending it resulted in them all dying out anyway... So sad. RIP Legion.
But it taught the quarians and perhaps other races that organic-synthetic coexistence is a possibility. Perhaps they will build another true ai, without the reaper code.
And it is because of this that i always went for the synthesis ending. I'll be honest if i didn't have the choice to save both fleets i would have saved the geth. I mean sure the quarians get alot of s*** from the rest of the galaxy, but they fired first and then continued firing. Also they made a nutcase like Xen an admiral so thats a point against them.
His first act as a true individual was to sacrifice himself for his people. "I know, Tali. But thank you. Keelah Se'lai" He saw Tali as a friend, and not just "creator Tali'Zorah"
Ugh! I didn't get the option to unite them! I did everything full paragon in Mass Effect 1 & 2. This was the hardest decision I had to make! I ended up choosing the geth over the quarians. I felt so terrible afterwards...
Holy shit, 9 years later, what's up my guy? Yeah, it's the most complicated set of circumstances to get them to come to peace with each other. You've gotta get Tali Exonerated and destroy the heretics in ME2, and then in ME3, save the Admiral on Rannoch and do the other geth fighter squadron side quest. Oh, you also have to make sure both Tali and Legion survive suicide mission.
@@randomstuff508 From the Wiki: You must first meet all 3 of these points: 1) At least 4 bars of Reputation 2) Tali & Legion must both Survive ME2. 3) Must complete Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons THEN It's a point system.

This was the saddest death for me. I was more upset about this death than any other death in the series (perfect paragon, nobody died who didn't have to). Gosh it's just so hard ;-;
The Reaper's voice sounds so creepy and cool at the same time XD Whoa hold on a moment since when did legion refer to himself as an individual Geth rather than in consensus form with "We" I guess since now we cannot called him "it", he also sounded hesitant when he said "Direct personality dissemination required" more like out of fear
*Psalm 23 - A Legion's Prayer:* The Commander is my Shepard, I shall not want. He makes me to fight in green pastures. He leads me beside giant Reapers. He restores my shields. He guides me along the linear game path, for the ease of the developer's sake. Yea, tho Legion walks through the valley of the migrant of the fleet, He will fear no Quarians, for the Shepard art with him. His rifle and ridiculous biotic powers they comfort him. He prepares some whoop-ass before me in the presence of mine enemies. He annoints my character with level-ups. My skill: overloads. Surely cerberus killing and planet-mining will follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the ship of the Normandy of the Commander Shepard forever. "I should go"
Legion and Mordin's death scenes are the most emotional in gaming. ME3 will be remembered by me as the epic conclusion to the most emotional franchise in gaming, and the only game to make me cry.
I always think sentience was legions goal in meeting Shepard he literally puts Shepard’s armor on. For a geth, Shepard a cyborg, and one of the most human humans in existence had an ideal personality with which to study organic sentience. His choices in decoration and final decision show how much he idolizes Shepard. Legion even presses Shepard on his ideals as if trying to comprehend them. Wouldn’t make much sense for a machine to debate which decision is right. Legion seeked out Shepard to learn the value of sentience and the individual. He often asks how organics act without consensus. In the end legion didn’t even hesitate to sacrifice his self for his people though if you carefully read his words he clearly regrets and fears it.
I am still so pissed about this twist. "You can't comprehend. . and then I give you an answer that is very easy to understand and, in fact, quite stupid".
But it doesn't. It's WORKABLE, but very disappointing and poor writing in my opinion. It's like being led on about the mystical power of the force only for someone to then tell you it's little bacteria in you.
Well the idea is, they kill us and keep some alive therefore to rebuilt. They don't wipe them all out where as organics would wipe them all like e.g The Geth and Quarians war, and the genophage. they kill us to save us. But I agree when you say it is poor writing. They could of expanded on it etc.
I really liked the pause he took saying that he had to reach the others and that he was sorry, i see the culmination of a path that humanized him in an excellent way. I admit that tears have fallen during this scene, and during many others. One of the best sagas i've ever play!
+madcapper6 I Know! If they did it the right way and followed the same story it would be incredible. The story is so amazing about all these races and aliens puttng aside differences to fight together.
In theory yes, but what is "canon"? I love the idea too, but too many people would be disenfranchised because Shepard didn't do what "their Shepard" did.
Tip: Destroying the Heretic Geth actually makes peace easier, as rewriting them means the Heretics fall back under Reaper Control because of this incident, meaning the number of Geth existing is substantially higher, meaning that the Quarians get more jittery over the idea of there being so many more Geth and are less likely to agree to peace.
If you can pick them up, I highly recommend playing the first 2 games, they are both amazing and have the same emotional grip on you that this game has. Playing through the first 2 really helped me appreciate my teammates a lot more. The side affect of that is when they die it hurts that much more.
If you unite the Geth and quarin forces I think synergy is the only ending that logically allows for all synthetics to survive like edi and the geth cause they just became a people and wiping them out to kill the reapers is universal genocide...
I just noticed that right after Legion's sacrifice Shepard is like "K den", like nothing happened at all. When Mordin exploded he acted the same way. Of two of them Shepard is the real robot. The only character that wasn't developed properly in the whole game.
Shepard is you, and he is me and all players, if you don't get sad, then he will not get sad, it is your emotions that define everything, the lines of dialogue should be only the approximation of your real feelings.
No, not really. In cutscenes you get to choose his lines, yeah, but it's actually either just "I'll miss him, he was a hero" or "fuck him, forget him".
The best part of this.... is the ME1 music from the menu playing in the background. I'll never get tired of hearing it. Also brings back good memories. Of when this was more of a roleplay, and less of a shoot-spree.
@Gamergod14 Nah, if you didn't get Tali exiled and settle the dispute between her and Legion with the Paragon/Renegade choice then you have to save admiral Koris and do some weird mission for legion to disrupt Geth fighters.
1:11 Harbinger venting to the other reapers in his pajamas "Aughh, Shepard-san is so redundant!" clutches pillow "...maybe I shouldn't assume control."
@vagrantwanderer You do not have to do anything, I rewrote the heretics and was still able to unite them. I have the Mass effect 3 game guide and it seems to indiciate you have to blow them up but I can assure you this is not the case. As long as you save Tali from exile and get them to work together during there fight on the ship. As well as do all side quest on rannoch and save admiral koris before attacking the reaper base you can unite them with paragorn or renegade.
@DiegoAlanTorres I am not sure, the choices you made in the first 2 games affect the 3rd game in almost every way. Without knowing the specifics of how you did you play through I won't be able to tell you what you did wrong.
And this right here is why I had to do the Control Ending. Synthesis forces everyone to basically be one hive mind. Destroy, though I can understand a lot of the argument here, prematurely ends the story of the peaceful Geth
I now realize the true importance of keeping EVERYONE alive through the mission against the Collectors. I tried to give the geth the Reaper code upgrades with the Legion VI reconstruction...completely disastrous. NEVER. AGAIN.
You are supposed to talk to the admirals to get information about the war and then you will get the option to rally the crowd and get shepard to convince the admirals to get tali to be and admiral and still be loyal and make sure legion survives the suicide mission.
oh wait again :D ...this time i took the fighter base, and i don't recall seeing it, i don't play ME3 so often, that's why i'm saying that i don't recall such place, i think i took the geth base second after rescuing the admiral, so that's why.
@DistilledPoizn I am not sure if the order you do the missions actually matters, that was just how it worked out for me. I am unaware of the EXACT requirements to unlock the dialog, just telling you how it worked for me as best I can guess.
Legion was tasked with tracking down/following commander shepard as he was one of the first contacts of humanity that they came into contact with. Also he freed them from the Reapers so the Geth like Shepard. Legion tracked down the crash site of the Normandy and came upon the armor. He wore it because he's a bit of a fanboy for Shepard.
IN ME2 you need both Tali and Legion to survive the suicide mission, do their loyalty missions (tali's has to be successful) Legion can be sold to cerberus but you don't want that. Also they have a fight, if shepard can diffuse it, that will help.
When I needed to get stuff done, there was no beating the power team that is Grunt with his claymore charging into the fray, and Legion with his Widow. Killing everything else.
same here man.. i finished mass effect 1 twice and mass effect 2 like 4 times just to see the options but there is still waaaaaaaaay too much choices in the game its impossible for any human being to actually see every choice available troughout the 3 series
There are a few things in Mass Effect 2 that need to be done in order to get this. not sure of exactly what, but there is a link on google that may help. just type in "how to save the geth and quarians" and the first thing to pop up should be a yahoo answers link. Go there then the top rated answer gives a site. should help.
I did but my problem was that during the suicide mission in ME2, Tali died after closing the door. (which ive yet to figure out the cause of it) I had thought maybe since I did the loyalty mission it would still let me do it but it wasn't the case.
I had no idea this was even a choice. My Tali got shot in the face during the second game (even though i had maxed out relationships with all of them), and in the end i was forced to sacrifice the Geth in order to save the Quarians.
It must require a high paragon/renegade rating. I did not have either paragon or renegade options (i am pretty high on renegade) in this sequence, and as a result, the Quarians were killed.
It's not only the rating, in ME2 on Tali's mission you chose wether or not to destroy some geth units, i was full paragon but since i destroyed them i couldn't use the paragon option here and Rip quarians..
no no , I'm already farther, and as i said, Thali wasn't exiled, and i downloaded saved games with max paragon and saved all people etc., it was...i can't remember what i did change...oh yeah, it was something to do with places, i think i already said this, i took the places like in description and it worked, i though before that i did like that, but i didn't when i took old saved game to check it if i did correctly, actually i didn't, but then i replayed that place and i had that variant.
Every time I do this I don't get the option rally the fleet or warn the fleet and tali and all the quarian die why don't I have the other two options ?
Listen to the tone in Legion's voice drop at 5:25 when he says "Personality dissemination...required." He's getting more organic-esque qualities to his voice.
..oh damn this is the ending i was looking for, and legion still die no matter what, but technically he just being transferred to those cool looking giant Geth Prime...I want one of those...

When you realize Legion is Shepherd to the Geth, in exactly the same ways. Especially in the end
He wore the N7 chest piece for a reason.

This is so sad, especially since Legion started refering himself as a fully sentient independent being.

Best
Legion's death hurts the most in this game. That "do we deserve death?" Question had significant heaviness to it. What a brilliant game
Tali: (looking at Rannoch) "It is beautiful though, isn't it?"
Shepard: (looking at Tali) "Yeah. It is."
: )
Remember when the Catalyst said that organics and synthetics will never work together or be at peace? Yeah this geth would like to say otherwise. 6:41

You need almost full paragon with legion and tali surviving in an imported ME2 Save
And this right here is why I had to do the Control Ending. Synthesis forces everyone to basically be one hive mind. Destroy, though I can understand a lot of the argument here, prematurely ends the story of the peaceful Geth
I HAD NO CLUE THIS WAS POSSIBLE AND I AM SUPER EMOTIONAL!!!
you have to save and be paragon in ME2 to get this ending
I now realize the true importance of keeping EVERYONE alive through the mission against the Collectors. I tried to give the geth the Reaper code upgrades with the Legion VI reconstruction...completely disastrous. NEVER. AGAIN.
You are supposed to talk to the admirals to get information about the war and then you will get the option to rally the crowd and get shepard to convince the admirals to get tali to be and admiral and still be loyal and make sure legion survives the suicide mission.
This is why I can't pick destroy. It makes this scene meaningless.
oh wait again :D ...this time i took the fighter base, and i don't recall seeing it, i don't play ME3 so often, that's why i'm saying that i don't recall such place, i think i took the geth base second after rescuing the admiral, so that's why.
@Dirf119 make sure tali is not exiled in me2, i think that's a factor also. 'entice the crowd' will not get her exiled i think during her trial.
@DistilledPoizn I am not sure if the order you do the missions actually matters, that was just how it worked out for me. I am unaware of the EXACT requirements to unlock the dialog, just telling you how it worked for me as best I can guess.
Legion was tasked with tracking down/following commander shepard as he was one of the first contacts of humanity that they came into contact with. Also he freed them from the Reapers so the Geth like Shepard. Legion tracked down the crash site of the Normandy and came upon the armor. He wore it because he's a bit of a fanboy for Shepard.
This gotta be the most EPIC game moment in history!
IN ME2 you need both Tali and Legion to survive the suicide mission, do their loyalty missions (tali's has to be successful) Legion can be sold to cerberus but you don't want that. Also they have a fight, if shepard can diffuse it, that will help.
@Chromevod What you wanted is what everybody hated with the ending so I think people would be burning Mass Effect 3 if they followed your suggestion.
When I needed to get stuff done, there was no beating the power team that is Grunt with his claymore charging into the fray, and Legion with his Widow. Killing everything else.
Thanks for posting this. It will help my playthrough.
same here man.. i finished mass effect 1 twice and mass effect 2 like 4 times just to see the options but there is still waaaaaaaaay too much choices in the game its impossible for any human being to actually see every choice available troughout the 3 series
There are a few things in Mass Effect 2 that need to be done in order to get this. not sure of exactly what, but there is a link on google that may help. just type in "how to save the geth and quarians" and the first thing to pop up should be a yahoo answers link. Go there then the top rated answer gives a site. should help.
I did but my problem was that during the suicide mission in ME2, Tali died after closing the door. (which ive yet to figure out the cause of it) I had thought maybe since I did the loyalty mission it would still let me do it but it wasn't the case.
The Voice of that admiral... is it voice of Arvassrala from The Expanse?!
I had no idea this was even a choice. My Tali got shot in the face during the second game (even though i had maxed out relationships with all of them), and in the end i was forced to sacrifice the Geth in order to save the Quarians.
@86Corvus u can still save tali if u choose not to upload the code...
Where's the paragon interrupt to give Legion a good-bye hug?
It must require a high paragon/renegade rating. I did not have either paragon or renegade options (i am pretty high on renegade) in this sequence, and as a result, the Quarians were killed.
It's not only the rating, in ME2 on Tali's mission you chose wether or not to destroy some geth units, i was full paragon but since i destroyed them i couldn't use the paragon option here and Rip quarians..
man for some reason legion's death hit me the hardest. something about his death just made it so tragic.
no no , I'm already farther, and as i said, Thali wasn't exiled, and i downloaded saved games with max paragon and saved all people etc., it was...i can't remember what i did change...oh yeah, it was something to do with places, i think i already said this, i took the places like in description and it worked, i though before that i did like that, but i didn't when i took old saved game to check it if i did correctly, actually i didn't, but then i replayed that place and i had that variant.
yes, but it also depends a lot of the choices you made in the previous game.
I wonder who was the race that created the reapers in the first place in 30millions years ago.
Every time I do this I don't get the option rally the fleet or warn the fleet and tali and all the quarian die why don't I have the other two options ?
I have been playing the campaign over after I beat it using the same Shepard, my stats are the same but wasn't given the extra options as before...hm.
@DiegoAlanTorres you need to have enough reputation with either paragon or renegade to do them
Listen to the tone in Legion's voice drop at 5:25 when he says "Personality dissemination...required." He's getting more organic-esque qualities to his voice.
Anyone noticed that at the end Legion called Tali.. well, Tali. Not Creator-Zorah.
..oh damn this is the ending i was looking for, and legion still die no matter what, but technically he just being transferred to those cool looking giant Geth Prime...I want one of those...
@DiegoAlanTorres Your Paragon meter must be at least 4. If its below 4 then the options wont show up
Holy crap, when you talk to the reaper, that's Sovereign's theme in the background
LOL love how shep smiles at 5:20, pretty much how I felt when I resolved this conflict =D
