Now our new hero has to defeat the Reaper threat fully. Plus, the other synthetic lifeforms (EDI, the Geth, etc.) would still be around, and they're really interesting aspects of the ME fiction that I doubt the writers want to completely abandon.

Synthesis just seems weird. Who wants to play a game where every character is an organic/machine hybrid with glowing green circuitry on their faces?
i think control should/will be the "real" ending as well, but the reaper threat is done, they need to move on and do something else. the one thing i don't get now though is Shepherd being alive after the destroy ending. seeing him/her take a breath made sense if you bought the indoctrination theory, but now that Bioware has made it clear that there was no indoctrination why have Shepherd live in only one of the endings? i'd like to think that there's some bigger purpose for that final scene, but knowing Bioware it was probably just another half-thought idea they threw in with no real purpose or design behind it
