Paul Grayson after whatever happens to him in retribution.

I wait for the next novel, then I'll figure something out.

Just as the title suggests. True, the Reapers are the main baddies, but you can't just have Shepard running around shooting swarms of colossal warships with his machine gun/submachine gun. He'd be f@cking squashed in a second! Unless it became a Joker/Normandy flight sim... So, just like ME1 had Seran and ME2 had Harbinger taking over the Collectors for mono-a-mono fights, ME3 will most likely have a single antagonist we can throw down with.

Who or what would you want to be the final villain of Mass Effect 3?

It doesn't have to be something that already exists. You can totally make it up from your imagination. If you want, you can even give a brief scene with your antagonist in action.


--For me, I thought that a throw back to Saren would be pretty cool, only instead of a modded Turian it can be a modded Human.
He'd be known only as "Prophet", a mysterious villain clothed in white silk robes and dawning biotic abilities drenched in "Dark Energy" (whatever the f@ck that is. I think it's like the polar opposite of Mass Effect energy). His deal would be that he wants to build a vast multi-species cult (and is) to worship the coming Reapers, making people give themselves wholly unto the dark mechanical gods and securing his masters' victory over the galaxy.

Oh, and I imagine Liam O'Brian voicing him, because that dude rocks.

i think the illusive man has something to do with whats going on...the way he was acting when you destroyed the human reaper....either that or he wants all the power for himself and he wants to take control of everything

Mass Effect: Retribution

Humanity has reached the stars, joining the vast galactic community of alien species. But beyond the fringes of explored space lurk the Reapers, a race of sentient starships bent on “harvesting” the galaxy’s organic species for their own dark purpose.

The Illusive Man, leader of the pro-human black ops group Cerberus, is one of the few who know the truth about the Reapers. To ensure humanity’s survival, he launches a desperate plan to uncover the enemy’s strengths—and weaknesses—by studying someone implanted with modified Reaper technology. He knows the perfect subject for his horrific experiments: former Cerberus operative Paul Grayson, who wrested his daughter from the cabal’s control with the help of Ascension project director Kahlee Sanders.

But when Kahlee learns that Grayson is missing, she turns to the only person she can trust: Alliance war hero Captain David Anderson. Together they set out to find the secret Cerberus facility where Grayson is being held. But they aren’t the only ones after him. And time is running out.

As the experiments continue, the sinister Reaper technology twists Grayson’s mind. The insidious whispers grow ever stronger in his head, threatening to take over his very identity and unleash the Reapers on an unsuspecting galaxy.

I honestly think Grayson is just a precursor to Shepard getting similiar implants.

Grayson is a nobody in the Galaxy.

A Reaper-Shepard could have influence the Reapers would want to manipulate.

i wouldnt be surprised and this is just a theory...that the illusive man isnt a man at all...imagine if he's like a creature in human form. or something....and the way he acted at the end of the game....he was mad as hell because shepard didnt listen to him after destroying the human reaper....im thinking thaat the illusive man brought shepard back and tried to use him to get what he already know was out there from the very begiinning but he played off as if he didnt know...i also think that he tried to get shepard to be under his wing like his right hand man...but it didnt work....and now as i said before when it came to the end of the game and shepard was talking to the pissed illusive man....he was furious becasue sheaprd went against his orders which was a mistake....and when shepard said im gonna do things my way either step in line or get out of my way...and the illusive man said are you sure thats how you wanna play it....i took that as a threat from the illusive man...and i also think theres gonna be problems between him and shepard in mass effect 3....and i think the illusive man and cerberus are the same person...just a theory

The game wasn't exactly subtle about how TIM is a murderous supremacist nutjob who likes to pretend he's a misunderstood loyalist.

Still an awesome character, but the "gray" thing was just Miranda having no clue, lol.

It's always about Tali.

I bet she's the Shadow Broker too.

And for good measure, Liara's father. She's actually a cleverly disguised Asari.

How is being a nobody a matter of importance??  Ashley / Kaidan would have been considered nobodies but depending on your actions in the first game their sacrifice on Vimire has them getting all sorts of awards.   I dont see how being a nobody matters.  Everybody has to start somewhere. The fact that you dont know his name just means he's doing his job as a Cerberus Op and frankly after the end of the book, the Alliance knows who he is very well.  

As for turning Shepard into a Reaper I would find that a giant B.S. move and a weak copout on the writers part.

The first part of your argument makes no sense as obviously the Reapers care less about the crew of the Normandy except in so far as they deal with Shepard. (Liara being an example).  Also, all of the characters you mentioned only became notable BECAUSE of Shepard.  He/she is the star which all other planets orbit around.

Saren was a powerful SPECTRE with influence and access to technology, resources, and people.  Shepard was obviously wanted by the Reapers for a greater cause than being turned into goo.  The Shadow Broker is the most powerful information Broker in the Galaxy...its easier to use people with position and authority.

Grayson will probably show the effects of the Reapers power, but I doubt they are going to make him the main villain in the last game.  He may get an appearance, but unless they turn him into some Jon Irenicus like figure, I can't yet foresee him as a compelling villain.  Of course, the latest book may change that, but we shall see.

Shepard being turned would not be a BS move if done well.  Every story twist that can be done has been done before.  Its all a matter of the skill with which you do it.  There are several compelling ways I can imagine something happening to Shepard...I am sure the staff of writers at Bioware realize this.

Off topic, but I can imagine Bioware is going to make Tali stunningly beautiful to blow away her fans.

Grayson is a Ex-Cerberus Agent with access to a ton of organization information.  If TIM is dumb enough to put personal vengence above common sense and start trying to splice Reaper tech into Paul he's basically giving the Reapers a personal spy camera into whatever Cerberus base they are trying to experiment with him in. Nevermind what side effects long term use of red sand can give in terms of biotic power.

Obviously its speculation before the book. As the books served to introduce TIM before the ME2 game and we see how well he's be accepted, I'd like to hold out for better results for Paul as well.

As for Shepard again getting reaper tech implated into him.Sorry  personal opinion. I think its a lame idea. He's already part cybernetic and raised from the dead.  I dont want him turning into some Half - Cyborg Reaper Construct.  I dont feel he should have to become the very thing he's trying to defeat in order to fight it.

I hope ME3 doesn't turn into the whole "Recruit an Army" plot like in DA:O. If it is than the bad guys will be mercs most likely as you try to gain allies.

[Cypher0020]

its sooo obvious who the real villian is.....





Mario.



That is all

[OneDrunkMonk]

I expect it to be complex. The Council, the Alliance, Cerberus, Shadow Broker, the Geth, the Reapers, not to mention many other possible factions n such. I just hope it all doesn't end up just a dream Pamela Ewing had. [Too young to get the reference? Google it.]
