[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 7570902, member: 710"] Control and Synthesis don't really require any sacrifices, however. The Destroy sacrifice isn't even that big if you already eradicated the Geth. And even if you didn't - :):):):) them, it are just some machines. The only good part of that sacrifice is that it involved Shepard. Except that is the one that you can actually undo (and only in the Destroy Ending). The real sacrifice should have been Humanity. Worst Case (aka Suicide Mission where everyone, including Shepard, dies), all of it, best case, significant parts of Earth. There is even a good story reason for it, the super-weapon is in Earth Orbit, and probably the highest concentration of Reaper forces as well. And in any but the worst case ending, humanity can still make it, just severely diminished and struggling - but with the respect of all the Citadel species who know what humanity sacrificed to save all of them. And regardless of whether you take the original endings or this alternate new ending - Earth is bound to be pretty fracked after what happened in ME3.
