Sure there was the part of mass effect 3 with the Geth and Quarian, but that was just one plot point.  No more focussed on than the genophage, or the fall of the Asari homeworld.  Organics vs synthetics was a theme, but it was hardly THE theme.  Legion questioned if Geth had a soul in Mass Effect 2, but that was just one of many threads running through it.  Like Miranda's genetic modifications, or Garrus' plot for revenge, and so on.  It wasn't given much more prevalance.

To say it was the main plain, or the one plot point that *needed* to be resolved isn't right.  The idea of humanity's relationship with the rest of the galaxy was a far more important theme.  The beginning of the first game is about Shepard being named the first Spectre, and it ends with humans being appointed to the council.  It is far and away the dominant focus of Mass Effect 2. (The Collectors are after the humans because they are somehow special, Cerberus and the Illusive man plot for human dominance in the galaxy, and so on).   It is less focussed on in Mass Effect 3, but still as prominent of a plotpoint as anything else.  There's a reason why Earth is the epicenter of this game.

I don't know who you talked to and I'm not really that interested.  I don't care what any of the developers say, because I've played the game for myself.  The authors could say anything they want, but that doesn't make it so.

 

Weather you wish  to agree or not. Is not the point. That is your personal interpretation of the game. That doesn't make it true or false. In your head, that may be true. However, according to the developers, at Bioware. The main point of the series is the parallels of organics vs synthetics. The Geth war is a very small point of that. The Reapers are a major point in this. Changing biological life into synthetic life because no matter what. There will never be peace with organics. War is natural for them. With synthetics. It is not. However as long as both persist. There can never be peace. By merging the two together, Shepard had created a master race. They synthetic ending is the only one, and I mean the only one that brings peace to the galaxy. I can, with great confidence, confirm to you that the war between organics and synthetics continues on in the ALL of the other endings. There is no peace.

You are correct that there are many plot points. Of course there is. It's Mass Effect. There is tons of them. First contact war (which also has a Reaper point with technology, read the novels that are written by the writer of the series. Mac Walters). The Illusive Man is obsessed with finding the secrets of the reapers and even ensures everything is cyberneticly enhanced. Shepard is a victim of this. EDI plays a huge role in the whole synthetic debates. From Mass Effect 2, all the way to Mass Effect 3 where she got a humanoid body. She was not very human friendly at the beginning of ME2 but then grew upon them. Wished to become on and feel like one. And she did. She felt love, sympathy, anger, confusion, and the whole ranger of humanlike emotion. We saw a growth of both kin. The story really evolved.

I respect your perception of the story and I do not wished to call you wrong on the matter. However.... I think arguing with the writers and developers of the series is rather... silly. They certainly know the story better than you,, or any of us will.
