Reapers do not destroy planets, so sacrifice Earth not going to happen, maybe humanity but i doubt that too.

Evidence suggests that they do.

What worlds did they destroy?

Just asking, maybe i was wrong but i only know about reapers destroying rational life who reached the stars.

[Netzach]

I did (on the wiki) and maybe (no proofs) the reapers killed all life in some planets (curretly they are stated as "post garden") but it could be anything in the know history of Earth there we 7 mayor extinctions. That isn't destroying a planet, what Tarkins did with the Deadstar to Alderaan is destroying a planet

Leave the Council to die or to live.



I'll make a human council to replace the human council.

I think somewhere in the game we will come across some revelation that makes us look differently onthe Reapers cycle and possibly see it as a good thing (depending on what it is we discover) and we are given the choice to stop the Reapers or let the cycle continue.

This. i think it will be something to do with the black matter and stars exploding. Say, reapers during their cycle of harvest - they do something to stars (kind of recharge them) stopping them from turning into supernovas. And it has to do with their reproduction cycle. Thus the derelict reaper - he's in the dead star - and who's to say there aren't any more reapers inside other stars. maybe the reapers were created by the stars themselves - and stars are kind of sentient, and they use reapers to harvest all life and to feed them, keep them going.

(to build on poster above:)

Perhaps it will be something like Marvel is so fond of using. The Reapers are keeping a star from going nova, or somehow otherwise safeguarding a piece of the galaxy. If you kill them, the black hole eats X planet. If you let them be, they promise to wait a few hundred years before returning. Sacrifice the future or the present?

Bioware will wuss out and Shepard will be forced to choose whether he takes his space burger with american or swiss cheese.

[Ieldra]

I wouldn't like this to be a mainly military decision, of aliens vs. humans lost etc... it should be a more fundamental one that indicates how you see the future of the human species. Regardless of the fact that the Reapers have to be stopped to make self-determination of all species possible, their existence points to a state of being that Legion has described as "unity and transcendence". I think the decision should be about whether or not you think such a state of being desirable, regardless of the unanimously rejected (I guess) Reaper method to get there.

[Hawksblud]

Iedra2, I like that idea.



Another idea: perhaps you sacrifice the Relays, and current technology cannot recreate them. And your LI is on the other side of the galaxy, not to mention all the stranded colonies, cut off families, and so on.

[Collider]

I hate the idea of a decision where you may have to sacrifice your LI.

Perhaps you have to create a Reaper, to defeat the Reapers? That could be cool.

That'd be cool if people who kept the C-base actually got that option.

[Pacifien]

I'm going to go with the cake or death option.

I support these two ideas the best.  Looking at it like Legion and the Geth had to is an interesting ending to me.  And NO TO BEING FORCED TO SACRIFICE YOUR LI!

Much as I hate to say it, BioWare isn't very good at innovating their story twists. I just see this endgame that'll either leave Shepard to do the whole noble-sacrifice thing, or his LI will do it for him. How it'll play out, I've no idea, but after DA:O I'm not hopeful for anything that won't have me banging my head on my keyboard again...

What I'd like though is to discover that the Alliance and Cerberus are complicit in the construction of their own back-engineered Reaper, which naturally opens up the relay network to the rest of Harbinger's clan, and the only choice is destroy the entire relay system, leaving the galaxy's various civilisations isolated but sparing them being harvested, or fight them toe to toe and possibly lose it all... concequences for the galaxy all round and the future of the ME universe, without falling back on a lame-ass I love you too much to let you do this, so I've taken the bomb and I'm setting it off myself conclusion.

I'm guessing it'll eventually come down to the lowest common denominator.

Somehow Mondo....I'm afraid you're right about this.  I mean, at least DA gave you a way out.  If they do some lame-ass thing where if you don't do it, your LI does it for you, I will be very disappointed in BioWare.

But there's a little part of me in the back of my head thinking this might be the case.....

lol that kinda reminds me of Robotech with Minmays singing

I'm gonna be disappoited if there will only be one big choice near the end: the fact that continuity won't be important afterwards means they could technically give us a least a handful of totally different endings.

I feel it's gonna be the reapers offering you immortality if you join them or something like that. It should be a pretty big choice since it's the conclusion of the series.

huh? as a reaper or as a human?

Would it matter?

[Shwiggliness]

Extra Large Or Medium.

[Siansonea]

Is this even a question? Come on, the obvious big choice for ME3 will be:

What Aspect Of The Game Will I Complain About First?

Think of the dilemma! Do I rant about Kaidan/Ashley/Liara not having enough content? Do I rant about the inventory/shooting mechanics/rpg elements? Do I complain about the lack of love interest options for Conrad Verner, Matriarch Aethyta, and Donnel Udina? Where do I start?

I was imagining a sort of Star Wars KOTOR choice at that temple near the end, a good path and bad path.

Stars are sentient. hmm...

Well, Tim's star does change color after the base blows up. I knew something fishy was going on with it.
