 Hello fellow bloggers,

I am here today to discuss the possibility of time travel in the game. What if you were to go ahead in time, get a machine that can destory planets, go back in time, destory every planet but one. Do you see where I'm going with this? If not I will continue. So...

So in the future you can destory or create planets, thus creating a whole new universe for your past character. Planets will literally appear and disappear infront of your past character (WITH NO FRAME RATE DROP)!!

Your future self creates a baby, sends it back in time to your past self, thus creating two Shepherds, giving you the option to play as young Shepherd (2.0) or rapidly aging old Shepherd. Miranda also has the same option.

Good plot for the third one?

Jack groes hair, turns half way into an alien and turns into a Krogan
Miranda sacrifices her body for science, things go terribly wrong, Krogans lay eggs in her uterus and spit in her mouth. (GRAPHIC CUT SCENE) young ones beware.
Grunt becomes a human through long vigirous medical experiments.
Meanwhile the entire game Shepherd is slowly turning into a Drell.

One in the Mass Effect 2 section, and one in the Mass effect 1 section? That takes a few clicks, I am doubtful.

I posted it in the wrong section first, so I posted it in the proper section later.

if you go back in time and "Destroy every planet but one"



how will technology advance to the point where you have the technology to create a death star?



If you go back in time and do this, you will not have enough people, technology, materials to create a death star in the future, and so you cannot go back in time to destroy every planet with this deathstar because it cannot be created after what you did. -loltimeparadox



Not in the same timeline/universe anyway.

Unless you want to get involved in alternate universes

thank you for the serious comment, the game would be about an alternate universe, you can create whatever world you want to live in and explore the different choices you've made. 

It's a trap

Hello fellow bloggers,



I am here today to discuss the

possibility of time travel in the game. What if you were to go ahead in

time, get a machine that can destory planets, go back in time, destory

every planet but one. Do you see where I'm going with this? If not I

will continue. So...



So in the future you can destory or create

planets, thus creating a whole new universe for your past character.

Planets will literally appear and disappear infront of your past

character (WITH NO FRAME RATE DROP)!!



Your future self creates

a baby, sends it back in time to your past self, thus creating two

Shepherds, giving you the option to play as young Shepherd (2.0) or

rapidly aging old Shepherd. Miranda also has the same option.

Jack grows hair, turns half way into an alien and turns into a Krogan

Miranda

sacrifices her body for science, things go terribly wrong, Krogans lay

eggs in her uterus and spit in her mouth. (GRAPHIC CUT SCENE) young

ones beware.

Grunt becomes a human through long vigirous medical experiments.

Meanwhile the entire game Shepherd is slowly turning into a Drell.

Alright, let's try to dissect this one step at a time.



1. You go to the future to get a device that can destroy planets.

2. You go back in time and destroy every planet except one.

3. ?



These steps lead to the conclusion that:



4. We now have a device that can also create planets.

5A. This device will allow us to create new universes.

5B. When used, the Shepherd in the past will see planets vanishing and dissapearing into thin air.



And now comes the big plan:

6. Future shepherd creates a baby and sends it to past shepherd.

7. And now you'll have two shepherds, allowing you to play a younger Shep in ME3.



To the OP: Your story is badly written and doesn't make much sense in this form. Please either rewrite it or add more details. Despite this I'm gonna try and make sense of it.





Imagine the following:



A. In some future time (I'll name it 2300 from this point on) a technology is created that allows one to destroy and create planets.

B. Someone goes back in time, way before any species existed.

C. This guy destroys all planets, except one.

D. The immediate effect is that all the races that we know (Hanar, Elcor, Asari, Reapers, etc.) never existed. All the events in ME1 and ME2 never happened.

E. This leads to a temporeal paradox. If all the sentient species never existed than the technology that was used to destroy the planets was never invented. Which leads to the conclusion that all the races could never have been destroyed. Which in turns means that the technology has been invented. etc. etc.

F. The solution to this problem is that at the moment the technology has been used to destroy all these planets a new universe/ dimension is created.

G. The dimension/ universe ME takes place in remains unchanged and it appears like nothing has changed.

H. The new dimension/ universe is the one where the events of C and D happened.





Where does this leave us?

I. In essence this means that every time we use the technology to create or destroy a planet we

J. change the timeline, i.e., something never happened/existed.

K. This leads to a temporeal paradox, which creates a new dimension/universe.

L. Some of these universes will still have a Commander Shepherd in them.



In essence this technology allows you to create an almost limitless number of Commander Shepherds.



Exactly how this allows us to play as Shepherd 2.0, as the OP suggests, is still a mystery to me.

[Apophis2412]

And another serious response from your other topic (made by DPSSOC):


Ok so I get the go forward in time to grab new technology, but exactly what do we gain from destroying and creating planets? Unless you're creating planets to shoot out of a really big Mass Accellerator at the Reapers I don't see how we gain anything. Were time travel ever developed it would make more sense to go back in time and do the Terminator thing (attempt to prevent the creation of the reapers) which is ultimately doomed to failure if we assume the purely linear nature of time. That is to say if you ever managed to develope time travel anything you intend to go back and do has actually already happened making it impossible to change the present by altering the past.



The best possibility would be the creation of an alternate timeline running parallel to yours which you'd only be able to enjoy if you stuck around as the anchor point for return would be in your timeline not the one you just created.



In all honesty I hope they avoid time travel (like the plague) because it just raises too many questions no matter which direction you go. Unless they give us a Delorean and Christopher Lloyd then I'm all for time travel.

Mass Effect isn't Star Trek. Time paradoxes and alternate dimensions are used to draw out the story to use as an excuse to come up with "original material", while the only thing original is the same characters doing different things, but the setting is the same, the time is the same, i.e. Hollywood the last 10 years.



BioWare doesn't need this.

You can't do that Snake, you'll create a time paradox!

I am so glad you dont work for bioware................
