I'll say the opposite of some: I hope you do beat the Reapers without some 'trick' ending. People want to make them Cthulhu, and they aren't. They are really powerful, and they /do/ have parallels. But they have been killed before. They aren't unstoppable. They are not Galactus (who, btw, has been actually defeated before ;>).
Looking forward to this a lot, though.
Sovereign can blast through the Destiny Ascension-an asari dreadnought and the biggest ship in Citadel space-with just one of the shots from his legs. I'm pretty sure we're gonna have to find a loop-hole somewhere...
We've been told that we have to unite the civilisations of the galaxy to "Take back Earth"... I really hope the whole story is not about taking Earth back, because that would be a bit stupid, considering the sheer size of The Milky Way. Earth is not very important when the whole galaxy is under attack.
Either way, I have faith in BioWare. I'm certain that Mass Effect 3 will blast Mass Effect 2 from it's "Best game of all time" award I gave it ;P.
I think it depends on how you handle that, personally.
Earth is still the largest single population center of humans, and the Reapers as we now know, want humans over all other species. The reapers aren't attacking the galaxy. They're attacking Earth. And if they get it, the rest of the Galaxy will follow, because they'll use all those humans to make a bunch of Reapernators.
So it's not necesasrily "Earth" that's important, per se, but the fact that it's the largest concentration of Reapernator fodder for the Reapers. I'd be able to go with that as a plot reason for taking back Earth. It would be like..
"We don't care about Thessia and Palaven. We have fleets stationed around them to stop them from helping you, but most of our forces are concentrated around Earth, because that's got what we want."
It is, once again, another Mary-Sue-ish "humans are the most important species in the galaxy" Sci Fi story, but eh, they've been pushing that trope ever since ME1, so I've become immune to the eyerolling it generates now
