that would be a problem seeing as how he completely dissolved

[NvVanity]

Reapers could have left over Collectors or Husks from various races they've conquered in hiding. Someone just has to hit the on button.



There's still the idea floating around about Shepard being wanted by the Alliance/Council for working with Cerberus which could introduce normal soldiers as our enemies and other Spectres.

I think that like in ME2, husks will come in new forms (with biotics perhaps?). I also could imagine the vorcha making a reappearance. However, i've always been under the impression that cerberus will be your enemy in ME3 no matter what (paragon= you quit, renegade= illusive man betrayal); it would make things a lot simpler for Bioware moving forward...

Anyways... maybe if you chose a paragon ending for ME2, cerberus will be hunting you for quitting, making cerberus operatives your enemies at times in the game
... on the other hand, if you chose a renegade ending, the tech from the collector base could end up being used by the reapers as a source of indoctrination. Exposure to the tech would put the illusive man under reaper control and once again turn cerberus against you

its just an idea, but i think it could lead to an ending in ME3 that fully ties up the plotlines

Yeah, I've seen a few people suggesting that TIM may become
indoctrinated if you save the Collector base, but TIM doesn't get
directly involved in any Cerberus operation beyond giving orders. He
values his own skin too much for him to go within a light-year of
anything that might bite him in the @ss.

You do make a valid point about the potential of Cerberus being a threat though. It's certainly possible (especially if you follow the paragon path), but I feel as though The Illusive Man would begrudginly aid Commander Shepard
anyhow. Mainly because it's difficult to advance humanities (and his own) interests if everyone in the galaxy is reduced to a few smoldering atoms at the bottom of a crater thanks to getting wasted by the Reapers.

Being hunted by another Spectre would have a nice symmetry.

What have you done to my drones?  Dann you!

Protoss player. Though I do admit the terrans have (and always had) the coolest unit quotes. Ever.

That quote is also from a song. Before my time though.

I think that there will be a lot similar enemies from the first to games, like merc groups, batarians, not necessarily "agents", for the Reapers, but people who stand in Shepard's way, whether to unite a faction, or to kill the Shadow Broker. But when the Reapers do arrive, they will probably have husks, maybe a new race or mechanical assitants, or maybe there will be a race they enslave.

Anyway, I want to see Saren return.......................As a teammate.

*cough* Sarevok *cough*

[SandTrout]

Either TIM or the Shadow Broker would be a great foil for Shepard, and would complete the spectrum of antagonist for him.

ME1 had Saren, a general purpose BA who's interests were matched against Shepard's. Saren and Shepard are essentially the same type of character but on different sides of the conflict, and their final confrontation was a head-to-head slugfest to determine the victor. Shepard and his team in one corner, Saren and the Geth in the other. Great.

ME2 was different in that there was no anti-Shepard. Instead, we had to maneuver Shepard through a shadowy maze where you never new who your real opponent was. What is TIM hiding from us or lying to us about now? What is the true nature of the Collector threat? What DOES a Quarian really look like under the mask? You had many opponents coming at you from different directions in order to match the badassery of Shepard.

For ME3, we need a clear opponent, but not another true Anti-Shepard. Our antagonist should never confront us directly, but rather, deflects and avoids Shepard while attempting to turn our allies into our enemies. They should be completely unlike Shepard so much that it is even impossible to win in direct confrontation with them. Even if we defeat them, it doesn't necessarily gain us ground.

We don't need Saren or Darth Vader. We need Sauron or Palpatine

The Collectors

Indoctrinated races

Husks

Geth that are loyal to the old machines

and Reapers

The Collectors are dead one way or the other, and it looks like they only had the base, and the one ship.

Indoctrinated by whom? If the reapers are already here, we're already screwed.

We're gonna need more than husks.

Potentially, either the Quarians or the Illusive Man could gain control of the geth, or they become allies in ME3.

The fight with the Reapers will be a big CG cutscene. You can't kill them with small arms and/or on foot.

[Malanek]

I would like to see about 10 new Reaper footsoldier enemies. Like the collectors but not based on species previous to the Protheans. It stands to reason that these things exist, so let them be in the game.

[onotix]

robot ewoks anyone?

As long as they explode adorably.

[Nightwriter]

I realize we're going to need foot soldiers to fight, because even though Mass Effect is a space game there are oddly... no space battles. So I would like Malanek's suggestion, just Reaper foot soldiers.

[NYG1991]

husks that are different races like krogan or turian.



that would also be a cool way to show what quarians look like outside of their suits if they have them getting impaled and removing different parts of the suits and cracking the helmets.



another possibilty could be something of a mix between the flood from HALO and the replicators from Stargate as dr. Chandana's team talks of nanotech aboard the derelict reaper

[ztonkin]

I think there's gonna be space combat with the Normandy and you control it and stuff. For footsoldiers, that's a though one. Definately advanced Husks sure.



I dunno if the Shadow Broker will even be alive by ME3, as it's possible that he's in a DLC for ME2 and Liara kills him.



And a new anti-Shepard would be great. I like the idea of a Spectre hunting Shepard, because Shepard probably did something to ****** the Council off, and then eventually, the Spectre joins your crew or gets indoctrinated by a Reaper. But I think the Spectre joining your crew would be cooler.



Last boss though. I get the feeling it'll be an annoying fight where you control the Normandy against a bunch of Reapers. I say it'll suck because BioWare doesn't seem to be able to pull off final bosses very well (Malak, Archdemon, Reaper Baby), so why go against tradition?

[Siansonea]

Ewoks.

[Siansonea]

Seriously, I think the Shadow Broker will be an enemy.

[STG]

I want headcrabs.



It's been a looong time since I had a HL fix.

[Zivos]

When I think about how things continue to go, how Sheperd's warning continues to go ignored by the Council, so far that they engage in cover-up as we see in ME2, I wonder...

Will in some strange way, shape or form (subtle indoctrination)...the Citadel Council itself become an enemy?  Willing to let its people be taken, slain and harvested by the Reapers?

[Sharptooth]

I agree with the Batarian theory, they are already very much isolated and hate all that isn't familiar to them, the Reapers giving them superior tech would make them autarkic when compared tot the rest of the galaxy, which I believe, is what the Batarians want.

A second option is that the Reapers take over all mech factories by indoctrinating those who run them. The Reapers would find a way to drastically speed up production.

Third, it's never been stated in absolutes that all Collectors are dead now. It could very well be that there is another base, or perhaps there is a small populace still in stasis. Remember, the Reapers also have access to their genetic code, rebuilding the Collector race would be a small feat.

Then we have mercs, who would do anything for money, which the Reapers have in abudance due to Harbinger's steady and vast network of influential people within the galaxy.

It's also possible the Reapers made an army of all races they have studied/abducted/based upon. Harbinger looks like a Collector, and in ME2 we are fighting a ground force based on his image (or is it the other way round?). Think of other historical races such as the Zeioph.

It's likely that there are still Geth heretics around.

Lastly, we still have the mysterious Raloi around.

Personally, I think it would be cool if it were to be a combination of all of the above. With the mercs being the lamest foe, perhaps followed by the Collectors, you beat them, and Harbinger said to the Collector General that they failed. It would undermine their credibility.

It would be humans, turians, quarians, a cured krogan race (depending on your decision), asari, salarians, the geth collective, possibly the Rachni (again, depending on your decision) Versus the Batarians, a mech army, possibly the Collectors, mercs, another historical race, or a ground force made in the image of the Reaper they represent, Geth heretics and perhaps the Raloi.

It would be a tactical mistake on the part of the Reapers' to only use mindless drone underlings such as Geth heretics, Collectors and mech's. An army with a highly centralized command structure is most often less effective than one with a flexible command structure. Just look at how succesfull the Salarian STG is.

[Wolverfrog]

Remember the way Sovereign controlled Saren at the end in that boss battle? I'm envisioning something like that. A Reaper footsoldier, if you will. Because as already proven, indoctrination hinders efficiency.



So yeah, I'm thinking organic robots controlled directly by the Reapers.

[megatron999]

everyone can agree there will be an element of Merc and pirate activity. Maybe we get to go after Vido again.



The main villians will i think be the Batarians (upgraded) and either depending on your choices the Quarrians or the Geth.

[nov_pl]

um... the Reapers?
