This is the last time I explain this to someone... I swear to god.

That ending either removes every being in teh galaxies free will, or does absolutely nothing at all... the races external physical characteristics are still different, that is what causes the conflict not internal differences... you can be more physically similiar internally to an african american or asian tahn to a white person (and vice versa depending on your race) but racism still freaking exists.

Not to mention that synthesis literally does nothing to prevent the creation of new synthetic races - ____ - and I mean literally nothing, also you cant make Geth partially organic they dont have DNA to put DNA into - ___ - And what about synthetics creating an organic slave race, or another hybrid race? Synthesis either is an abomination against the universe and all free will, or a completely useless flaccid solution that does literally nothing but paint green lines on peoples skin and invalidate all medical knowledge.

Conflicts the Synthesis ending doesnt solve.

Organic vs Organic creation Machine vs Machine creation Machine vs Organic creation Organic creation vs Machine creation by same creators (war of sons) Machine creation vs machine creation Organic nation vs separate organic nation Machine nation vs separate machine nation Literally anything.

For all intents and purposes once a machine race exists, its just another race of people... or another nation or governmental body, and conflicts with it are literally no different than a conflict with another nation. Its the idiotic thought that somehow the conflict is special because the differences are greater r that leads to hippy bullcrap removal of free will ideas like in beast machines or mass effect 3s ending.

By the way... the conflict with the machines in the mass effect universe was orchestrated by the reapers, there is literally only one instance in the mass effect universe where machines caused a problem of their own free will... and those machines were not sapient, it was just a computer error.

I will highlight all of the worst conflicts in the mass effect universe... and you will see a problem with the synthesis ending.

Zha'til - Hybrid machine and organic species that ruled over an organic slave race, did not cause problems until a hybrid machine and organic race (the reapers) forced them too, the war with the reapers and the protheans eventaully resulted in the protheans death.

Metacon - ancient machines that the protheans triumphed over.

Rachni - organic bioweapons of the protheans that went to war with their creators, 200 worlds needed to be burned before they could be stopped.

Overlord - a machine organic hybrid goes insane and crazy.

Geth - machines rise up, drive their creators away, and then live peacefully alone... until a horrible machine organic hybrid species forces them to do battle with the rest of the universe.

Krogan - used krogan as a weapon, it backfired (similiar to rachni)

-

Only the Metacon Wars were truly the result of pure machines, and even then we know virtually nothing about the Metacon they could be anything. As it stands every instance where someone tries to control life... like actual honest to god life, it results in horrible destruction.

Every hybrid of organic and non-organic lifeform in the mass effect universe resulted in ungodly abominations. Now you freaking tell me, why on gods green earth I should be convinced that turning every life form in the universe... into an abomination... against their free will.

Would ever... be a good idea... EVER.

You are an awful person for even suggesting this, sure maybe it does solve the problem... that is assuming that there is a problem in the first place, which there isnt... because the conflict between organics and synthetics is not distinct form a conflict between organics and organics and any combination ever.
