A slow moving shot brings the Citadel into view. An old model Asari vessel is approaching it. The interior of the Citadel is dark. Asari proceed into what would become C-Sec, flashlights illuminating the shadowed areas. One of the Asari takes off her helmet and another walks up to her. She reports that the area is clear, no visible signs of life.

The date is displayed. (Something like....five-hundred something BC, since the Citadel has been inhabited for thousands of years.) The Asari proceed up to Citadel Tower, as power signatures were detected. They bring main power back online, and the Presidium lights up. Moments later, they encounter a Keeper. It ignores the Asari and proceeds on it's merry way. The two Asari talk about who could have built this place. The camera moves away from the Citadel as they wonder what other species could be out there. The camera moves to the Citadel's relay and the Normandy bursts through. The present date is displayed, and the Citadel, (as the camera shifts back, following the Normandy,) is now packed with all different kinds of ships.

On the bridge, Anderson was already transmitting docking procedures to Joker. Shepard takes another look at the padd with the Reaper data, and, as the Normandy docks, proceeds to the docked airlock.

I have more, but that's the opening.

I think Mass Effect 3 is where some your most significant choices should impact the story.

Shepard and the crew of the Normandy SR2 have returned from the Omega Relay. They have saved or destroyed the collector base with an unknown number of casulties.

I think that is a good opening sequence of events. After Omega, Shepard must go to various places to gather support against the Reaper fleet in order to fight back.

That's probably cooler than what we will get    Nice idea.

Anyway, for opening ideas, adapting my idea from another thread about endings: http://social.biowar...index/2311487/3


Shepard is summoned to the Council.  The Mass Relay Networks appear to be malfunctioning, even though the Council still has control of the Citadel. They have lost touch with some sectors.  The situation, plus Shepard's data have convinced most of the council that  Shepard was right about the Reapers being on their way, after all. (The Turrian concilor will still express doubts, and blame Cerberus if you didn't save the original council).  Turns out,  the Normandy is the only ship that can make it through the "malfunctioning" relays, since the Normandy has a Reaper IFF, and reprogram the relays so alliance/council ships can help defend.   The fate of the galaxy, once again, is in Shepard's hands.   

Side missions would involve going down to planets to save the governments on  major homeworlds, or get additional aid from various groups with power (like Mercenary bands, various races ), which would allow for revisiting some of the unresolved plot points in the previous 2 games. 

Somewhere in all this, Shepard  will discover that the Alliance/Cerberus has been witholding information they had from the time of their discovery of the original relay.  The Protheans calculated that the only way to destroy the Reapers was to use the Mass Relays against them, triggering a series of explosions that would cripple their defenses.  TIM has been trying to find some other way, because losing ME travel would send humanity, along with the rest of the galaxy back so far in technology.  If you gave him the base, he will say Cerberus is very close to discovering how to build new relays. If you didn't, he will tell you that destroying the relays will be like sending humanity back to the dark ages before intergalactic travel but there's no longer any choice.  Shepard then has to go destroy all the relays.  

[GTYKDME22]

Perhaps with a myriad of flashbacks of the choices you made in ME1 and ME2. . .well, that's all I have right now.

I would like to know why the opening scene should be of events unrelated to the main plot. Would you be implying  a connection between the Asari discovery of the Citadel and the Reapers? Your idea is good however I would prefer the opening scene to focus on Shepard and the Reapers.

I understand. I was unimpressed with how we learned hardly anything about the Reaper origins in Mass Effect 2. This opening, I thought, was interesting as it showed the first contact of Reaper technology. (Although, unknown to the Asari at the time.) I didn't want to write a book, but in a larger version of the scene, there are loads of small details that I would have Shepard learn about as more of the Reapers origins are explained. The Reapers built the Citadel, they built the Mass Relays, there are probably hundreds of species never even before seen because the Reapers destroyed them! The opening is just the prelude to the larger mystery. The next scene would have taken place literally days, if not less, after the ending of Mass Effect 2. "Would You Like To Know More?"

[Onyx Jaguar]

It starts out with Shepard marooned on a Desert planet, and they have to ally with the natives in order to escape and take back their place as the emperor of Citadel Space!



And that is only the first 15 minutes.

I am not sure about that. Even my paragon Shepard would be obligated to give no mercy toward the new spectre or the council. Shepard would have to kill them all.

[ashez2ashes]

I'd like to start with Shepard on a tropical beach, sipping a colorful drink with a little umbrella in it.



Because Shepard needs a vacation. Badly.

[NvVanity]

It starts with an old Shepard sitting in his captains quarters holding a snowglobe. He drops it and says "Rosebud" before dying.



And then the rest of the game is a flashback.

[Kaiser Shepard]

Obviously it starts with two or three plot-important characters discussing Shepard's past actions and potential.



Like the last two times.

I thin the opening scene should show a far away planet, with children of mixed alien nations playing together. An Asari school teacher calls them in for there next lesson, when a young Salarian points to the sky.

As they look up, a shadow casts over them with reflections of lightning in the sky, and then a Reaper ship sppearing into the frightened eyes of the Asari teacher. The sceen then pans out to a view of the entire planet and with a huge purge, the planet explodes.

Shepard wakes up in his cabin, holding his face in his hands as he knows whats to come. EDI announces the news over the Normandy intercom and Shepard and crew are asked to meet at the Citadel.

Your opening is very similar to my idea. What I would love to see is exactly how the Protheans became extinct.  So I would take your opening with the children and Asari teacher but make them Prothean.  We would get to hear the Prothean language for the first time (with subtitles).  It would be a rush of images after that, like the beacon visions from before, but with way more detail.

Shepard wakes from his "dark visions" and  the story begins...

This, most likely.

I think I read somewhere here that the first scene could be a flashback of your Shepard on Akuze/Elysium/Torfan (depending on your background info). That would actually be interesting, and make your chosen background matter for something...

I was also thinking on something like evading a  Cerberus attack on the Normandy, but I have never kept the collector base so I don't know what happens in that decision.

[Rocket Weazle]

it must involve anderson and his data on TIM and Paul Grayson, IT MUST! Lol

Shepard gets surprise buttsecks from Grunt.

i second that

[skcih-deraj]

A few months after the asault on the collectors you get a message from the illusive man or the human rep of the council that( if you kept the base or blew it up ) the council has deemed shepard a rouge spectre and has sent a spectre after you and while getting the message the normandy gets attacked by a normandy class stealth frigate that EDI didn't pick up on until it was to late.



Then a cruiser comes out of a near by relay and swarms the normandy with fighters. With the normandy disabled shepard orders every one to an escape pod and just as shepard gave the order a message from the cruiser is demanding that shepard to surrender and get ready to be boarded.

Alliance marines force their way into the ship they find its empty with only shepard in the CIC fully armored and guns blazen as he takes out each of the marines. Shepard looks up and finds he cant move and then suddenly thrown around bioticly until he/she is knocked out. (insert scene with custom character options like in the begining of ME2)



Shepard wakes up in a cell and told that he is getting sent to a his trial. (yeah I kind of like the whole rouge spectre shep on trial thing) While the trial is going on you see find out the biotic that attacked you was the spectre assigned to catch you (most likley an asari) who taunts you on how easy you were to catch and is very critical of your past choices you've made. The council brings up your choices (Rachni,Genophage,cerberus....) names them all treasonable offences.



Shepard tries to defend him self but the words go unheard and the last thing they cite are the reapers beleaving them to be nothing but a myth and the fact that shepard thinks their real shows to them proof of him being mentaly unstable and a danger to galactic peace. As they are about to pass a verdict your LI (or if you dont have one who ever didn't die on Virmire) and some loyal members of shepards crew from ME2 come to save shepard in this escape sequence that leads to the ship docks were you have your first boss fight with the spectre that was assigned to catch you.



But before you can finish the spectre off the normandy fully restored comes to pick you and your rescue squad up (if your renegade before you go you wound the spectre before you go) setting the game up giving you a new protagonist (new saren) for you to have to worry about as you try to build allies to fight the reapers.
