I left the title of this thread deliberately vague so that even Bubba couldn't infer the topic.
So me and Mr. Carny are playing ME again, and he's leapt ahead into the endgame of ME: 2. He's obtained Legion and went ahead and did his loyalty mission, which is the crux of this topic.
You're given two options:
- Rewrite the heretic Geth
- Destroy the heretic Geth
It's one of the few times the paragon/renegade duality breaks down. Rewriting the heretic Geth is a paragon choice despite previous paragon dialogue railing against the ethics of such a choice.
Both choices are grey and grey morality (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GreyAndGrayMorality). Rewriting the heretic Geth is, for me, akin to brainwashing them and removing their free will. While destroying them is... well, killing them, which is also pretty sucky.
What are your choices, guys? It's a tough choice either way. Mr. Carny advocates rewriting, while I generally think destroying is the most ethical decision.
